Of course, after I abandoned my ego I knew deep in my heart what the answer was. She just wasn't enjoying it. She was never the type to fake an orgasm, and, much to my increasing worry, she never seemed to get off while I was actually inside her, no matter what I did. Whatever I tried, however I attempted it, it was obvious she just wasn't into it. I started to stress, worried that I was fucking up, that I was losing her. She was an extremely sexual creature, and it was clear to me that if I couldn't satisfy her she'd go seeking someone who could.
Finally I brought it up to her. She seemed to regret doing so, but she openly acknowledged that, yes, actually, I was rather bad at sex. She tried to let me down easy, but she didn't sugar coat it. I didn't seem to be getting any better, and, to be frank, I wasn't exactly that well equipped for the job. She'd tried to give me notes, and, to my credit, I did my best to follow them, but it simply wasn't doing the trick. To be clear, my oral was top notch and I never failed with my hands. I could do a great job at, say, getting her off unobtrusively in a movie theater. But the actual sex was strictly disappointing.
I felt shattered.
But it got worse. She admitted that not receiving adequate pleasure was a dealbreaker, stating reasonably that, despite her feelings, she refused to live the rest of her life like that and if she wasn't satisfied she'd have to break up with me. She also said that she had no intention of having lousy sex on my behalf. It wasn't worth her time or energy.
But there was at least a small silver lining, a caveat. I was still incredibly good at oral, after all. So she could try to make it work. She didn't want to have sex, at least proper sex, anymore, but she'd be open to staying with me if I continued to get her off by other means. She said she would miss being properly fucked, but if I learned to compensate by using various toys on her then she'd give it a try. She truly did care for me, after all.
It seems crazy to agree to something like that but I couldn't bear the thought of losing her. I still can't. I would have done anything to make her life better. If she'd told me I had to wake up every day at 3 AM and scrub the toilet with a toothbrush I would probably have done it. No, I definitely would have done it. She is my world. I couldn't imagine ever being with anyone else. Sure, it made me feel lousy, I'm still only human, but really all I wanted was for her to keep smiling at me and telling me how happy I was making her.
So I agreed.
I won't deny it, at first it was bad, really bad. I'd be constantly aching, running off into the bathroom to jerk myself off leaning over the toilet. It was agonizing. But, honestly, over time I got used to it. Going down on her just became another regular chore, not much different than doing the shopping or fetching the mail. My own sexual pleasure became disconnected, separated from hers. They didn't exist on the same plane anymore.
And it's not like she left me completely high and dry either. When the mood struck her she'd use toys on me as well. Various masturbaters and rings. Her favorite, though, were vibrators. She liked to press them into the area under my balls, sending the vibrations deep inside me, into my prostate. She'd slide the buzzing head up and down my shaft, delighting in the way it made me squirm. She'd keep me on the edge for ages until finally letting me get myself off while she continued to use her various devices. I didn't even mind her keeping me on the brink for so long like that. When I did finally cum it was almost overwhelming, such a huge overpowering pleasure coursing through my body, my cock twitching and throbbing in my hands as the sensations washed over me like a flood. Something I could never get myself just jacking off alone.
She did really enjoy being there when I got off, and most enjoyed it when it was showy and dramatic. Usually this meant times where I hadn't gotten myself off in some time, when it went through me like a rocket, whole body shaking, shooting giant loads of cum out over my stomach. It got to the point where she asked for me to not masturbate at all when she wasn't around. She said she wanted me all to herself. I could see how delighted she was, how excited, every time it happened - usually she'd have me go down on her again after I finished, even if she'd just cum before playing with me - and I just couldn't refuse. She lit up from head to toe when I agreed.
It was not that long afterwards when she told me, cuddled up in bed, that secretly she'd always really liked having that kind of control over someone. She'd always been somewhat interested in chastity, but had never tried to pursue it. It was, until that point, just a fantasy she'd entertained, something she could get off to, but a fantasy she'd relegated to the realms of porn and erotica. She said that we were already pretty much already there, and that she just couldn't stop fantasizing about my cock locked up in a cage. She told me it wouldn't change anything about what we already did in the bedroom, since I only got off with her anyway. It would really just get her hot knowing I was wearing it. She then asked me, point blank, if that was something I would do for her. She was seldom so direct, and I could see how much she really wanted it. Even talking about her seemed to be lighting a fire in her, her body pushing up against mine, almost eager.
Of course I was apprehensive. Who wouldn't be? But I also remembered how unsatisfied and bored she'd been having "normal" sex, how excited she'd been lately, how she'd been taking more of an interest in my body, and just how happy she'd been doing these kinds of things with me lately. She frequently expressed such immense happiness for how I saved myself for her, keeping my orgasms all for her viewing, kissing me and stroking my cock throughout the day to remind me of what I was doing for her. So I thought about it and decided I'd try. For her. I wanted her to want to be with me, and not just go through the motions for my sake.
Which is how I ended up with my cock in a tight metal cage. She'd bought me an expensive, elaborate model, one that couldn't be finagled off with a bit of effort. I still remember the first time she put it on me, the cold feel of the metal, my growing apprehension and the sinking realization as the cage clicked shut and she locked it tight around me, then tugged at it experimentally to make sure I wouldn't be able to remove it, even if I tried. Not that I would have. I'd never want to disappoint her like that. I could feel it at all times, no matter where I was or what I was doing, I could feel it there resting against me under my clothes. It was a constant reminder of her control over me and what exactly I was being denied. Every moment of my day became sexual in a weird, subtle way, which only made the whole situation worse as I felt my cock straining against its new prison. She was of course absolutely thrilled. She even made me show her multiple times over the next few days just so she could relish the sight of it. She kept the key on a necklace around her neck so I could always see it. She might as well have been holding it over my head, teasing me with it.
She really did love to tease me. She'd rub her hands over me, sliding them down my pants, doing everything she could to get me so incredibly hot and bothered. She'd edge me, use her toys on me, stick her vibrators right up to the metal of the cage. She started to use multiple toys at once, one pressed below my balls so I could feel it churning through to my insides, the other on the cage. She had this almost cruel delight for using them on me while I got her off, then leave me hanging as soon as she had. She'd leave me desperate for days just so that when I did come it would be even more dramatic, more stimulating for her. She'd sometimes even fuck herself as she watched me get off, riding some toy cock or other, almost torturing me with what I was being denied. And she seemed to love every moment of it. If anything it fired her up, made her kiss me more passionately, put a skip in her step. Even her performance at work improved. How could I say no to that?
Things really took a turn, though, on one particular night when she decided to have some fun with me after what had been almost two weeks of teasing. She'd had me laid on the bed, my hands up above my head, tied lightly with a sash so I wouldn't reach down and try to touch anything. I had been twisting, turning, almost dying with how far she'd brought me without allowing release.
She'd been holding one of her vibrators right above my ass, when, almost as if it were out of simple curiosity, she moved it lower. She pushed it, gently, until the very tip of the device was slipping in. I didn't say no, or try to stop. In all actuality, I probably made a rather undignified noise of need and desire, desperate for any sort of stimulation that might send me shooting over the edge. I'd have probably done pretty much anything at that point just to finally cum. She asked if I wanted to try something a little different. My head was in too much of a blur to really process it, but I willingly consented, perhaps blinded by that aching, overwhelming need for release. So, cooing and praising me, she grabbed some lube - I only later questioned why she had any on hand at all - and gradually worked the toy into my ass, slowly loosening me up bit by bit until, before I knew it, she had pushed it all the way inside me. Then she was fucking me with it, pushing it up against my prostate. I could feel it sliding in and out of me, filling me up, grinding up against my insides. The buzzing was hitting me from both ends, the one buried inside, the other pushing down onto the cage.
