How to Measure for a Male Chastity Cage?

What Is a Cock Cage?

Male cock cages, also known as male chastity cages, are sex toys designed to enclose the penis to restrict an erection and any type of sexual activity. Cock cages are usually made from sturdy, inflexible materials like metal or plastic. Most models have an open or partially open design to allow for hygiene, urination, and ventilation. Cock cages are designed as cage-like structures surrounding the penis with or without involving the testicles.

Why Wear a Cock Cage?

Cock cages are popular in the BDSM community, but many couples try these for fun, especially people looking to explore the more profound implications of power exchange and D/s plays. Cock cages are predominantly used by Dommes on their male subs because they control the man’s orgasms but also put him in a state of sexual frustration and inability to get an erection.

The cock cages are appealing to men because these allow them to relinquish control and give power over their sexual pleasure to their partner. Men who’ve worn a chastity cage say that it helps them distract from sexual thoughts and feelings and puts them in a state of anticipation of when they’ll be free from the cage to freely experience sexual pleasure.

But cock cages are not only for BDSM practitioners, as they can enrich anyone’s sex life. The male chastity cages put the man in the spotlight and help create more intense orgasms because of the delayed build-up of arousal.

How to Measure for a Cock Cage?

When measuring for a cock cage, the best time is to measure when the penis is flaccid, like after an orgasm and a warm shower, when the penis is in the accurate, un-aroused size. The role of the cock cage is to prevent the man from getting an erection, and it should not be too tight to restrict blood flow. The cock cage is made from two main parts, and you need to measure both separately to get a correct fit:

• The ring that surrounds the testicles and penis
• The cage that is worn over the penis and attaches to the top ring

Measuring for the Cock Ring Size

The cock ring or the back ring is the first measurement you need to take when measuring for a cock cage, as this is the section that fastens the cock cage around your penis and scrotum. For this measurement, please note to be precise, as a too-loose ring will slip from the penis base, while a too-tight ring will restrict blood flow and won’t let you urinate properly.

To measure this size, use a thick, long, non-elastic string and a sharpie with a fine tip, as well as a ruler or a tape measure. Place one end of the string on the top of the base of your penis and then wrap it around the testicles and back to the top. Make a loose knot and try to move the string around the penis and testicles to see if it is tight or loose.

You can check the fit by placing your pinkie finger under the string, and it should barely fit without the string biting into your skin. Leave the string tied around the penis for about 20 minutes, and see how it fits, if the blood flow is normal, and if there is any discoloration to the penis. During this time, try to do your usual things and move around the house. Try to urinate while the string is still tied around your penis. Do this measurement at least twice more in a few days, preferably in the morning and evening, and if there are no problems, mark the place on the string, measure the length, and you have the size of the cock cage ring.

Take the average of the measured circumferences and calculate the diameter by dividing the measured length by 3.14. We advise you to get a slightly bigger cock cage ring size if you are a beginner, just to be on the safe side, and after you gain enough experience, you can get a smaller ring.

Measuring for the Cock Ring Length

Measuring the length is more straightforward, as you only need to take a ruler and place it on the underside of the flaccid penis. Don’t press the ruler into the scrotum or stretch the penis, as this will give you the wrong measurements, but only measure from tip to base. This measurement is also best taken after an orgasm and a warm shower, as the penis is in its natural un-aroused state.

Please note that men with uncircumcised penises may find it uncomfortable to pee with a cock cage on because the foreskin may cause pee to splash within the device. If you get a too-short cock cage, you risk the penis sticking out of the end hole and getting a feeling of your penis getting pushed back into the body.

Make sure you measure your penis length several times to precisely determine the average length, and we advise you to deduct about ¼ inches from the measurement to ensure a better snugger fit.

Measuring for the Penis Diameter

The next dimension you need to measure is the diameter of the penis. Since you already have the measurement of the cock ring, it is not difficult to measure the diameter of the penis, as this determines the internal diameter of the cage.

Take a piece of string and wrap it about halfway around the flaccid penis, around the thickest part, and mark the length of the string and measure it. Use this dimension when selecting a cock cage, and try to get a model that is as close in size to the measured dimensions as it will ensure a perfect fit.

Measuring for the Ball Trap Size

The ball-lock cock cages have a gap of varying sizes that is between the cage and back ring, which is called the ball trap gap, and you also need to determine this size, so you will know to look for a wider or a smaller gap.

There is no measuring involved here, but you need to look at the way your testicles “hang” from your body. If the testicles hang low and have a lot of skin covering them, then it is better to look for a smaller gap that will hold the balls firmly in place.

If your balls sit tight and high on your body, you can get a cock cage with a wider gap. We advise you to stay away from a too-narrow gap, as it may hurt in the long run. As a rule of thumb, you should get a cock cage with a 3/8-inch ball trap gap, as this is a sort of universal size.

After measuring your penis for a chastity cage, you can move on, choosing a cock cage that you’ll be pleased with and one that will keep your cock snugly in place. Here are some tips that can help you select a cock cage:

• You want the ring to fit as closely as possible to the measurements you took
• For a snug fit, the cage should be between ¼ and ½ inches shorter than the measurement you took
• The cage diameter should be the same as or slightly less than the measurement you took

You can get a smaller, more restrictive cock cage as long as you consider your health and safety. While the cock cage should restrict you from getting an erection, it should not be painful or cause discomfort. Please note that everyone is unique, and you should get a cock cage that is as close to your measurements as possible.
