LTC's Top Summer Tips'
Being locked up can be excruciating at the best of times, so when the temperature starts rising things can get downright uncomfortable. Surviving a summer of submission doesn’t need to be an exercise in torture though. With some simple adjustments, you can be living your best caged life, all year round!
We surveyed our team (submissive and Dominant) to see what tips they had for making it through the hottest months of the year without breaking your pledge.

  5. Choose a More Suitable Cage

Don’t Be Afraid To Take a Break

Our first tip might seem obvious, but there are many, many men who “push through the pain” as if it’s a part of the chastity lifestyle. While yes, the submissive isn’t meant to necessarily enjoy being locked up, that isn’t the main point behind wearing a cage.
So if the heat is getting to be a little too much, you’re struggling to keep up your commitment, or you’re simply getting too sweaty, don’t be afraid to take the cage off until it cools down a little.
You’re not failing your pledge by simply recognising that sometimes being uncaged is the best thing to do. In fact, it can even be seen as a mini challenge. Just because the cage is off, that doesn’t mean it’s time to play!
Of course, make sure you discuss it with your keyholder first…

Plan Around the Heat

Mistress Tracy has dealt with plenty of summers in her time as a dominant, and her top tip is to plan the temperature into the pledge.
How you do this depends on your own circumstances and preferences, but the idea is pretty simple. Even though the submissive enjoys being bound in a latex suit, the middle of summer probably isn’t the best time to do it. Instead, perhaps he has to spend more time completely naked, aside from the cage of course!
By taking the temperature into account when planning your activities, you can turn summer from a frustration into a feature of your chastity lifestyle.

Ice, Ice Baby

You might have heard of temperature play already (playing with hot or cold objects to stimulate the senses), and what better time to explore than the hottest days of the year?
Whether it’s stuffing his cage with crushed ice, teasing his nipples with ice cubes, or “making” him take an ice cold bath, there’s plenty of ways to include ice play in your pledge. And I’m sure any submissive will be grateful for a chance to “cool off”.

Take the Chance to Try Some Roleplay

Even if your house is like a pressure cooker, there are plenty of places that aren’t. Hotels, for example, are usually fitted with ample air conditioning to keep things cool.
So when staying at home becomes unbearable, why not take your pledge on the road? Perhaps you “meet” in the hotel lobby, before agreeing to stay the night. Or maybe you decide to get a little naughty in the library (don’t get caught!). You could even try skinny dipping somewhere and enjoy all the awkward looks his caged penis get.
Public humiliation is another huge part of the fetish for many submissives, so alongside trying something new in your pledge, you can seek out somewhere to cool down.

Choose a More Suitable Cage

Of course, one of the simplest, and most effective ways to stay cooler in the summer is by wearing a different cage. Instead of a full enclosure, try a ringed model. Instead of silicone, try metal.
Essentially any cage that will stay cooler can be a massive improvement on hot days in the cage.
Here’s some of our top summer picks:

The Ferrari

A sleek, stylish cage that feels as good as it looks. The Ferrari is made with firm ABS plastic making it lightweight, but still very restrictive.
Across the body are many open vents, allowing plenty of airflow. A side mounted locking mechanism also makes putting it on and taking it off a breeze.
For a simple, good looking, daily cage, this should be a top contender during the summer.

The Jailer’s Steel Chastity Cage

If summer comfort is a top priority, then we’d choose The Jailer’s Steel Chastity Cage. A steel, ringed design, this firm metal cage holds you securely in place.
With concentric rings forming the majority of this cage, there’s ton’s of open space to help keep things cool. It also features a wider base ring than many other cages, which adds another layer of comfort during hot, sticky days.
Choose The Jailer to keep chastity challenging, but comfortable throughout the hottest days.

Water Based Lube

An often overlooked part of chastity is simply putting the cage on (and taking it off). When the temperature rises, this can get much more difficult. As soon as your shaft starts to enter the tube, it sticks, so getting it any further is near impossible.
Using some lube completely eliminates this problem, making your summer of submission a lot less frustrating (except when it’s supposed to be).
Our Water Based Lube is skin safe, toy safe, and comes in two different size bottles so you can always make sure you have some ready when you need it.

Sissy Low Waist Thong

We talked a little about it earlier, but sometimes it’s just simply too hot to wear a cage comfortably. But wearing a chastity cage, and being “in male chastity” are two completely different things. So there’s no reason you can enjoy submission and an occasional reminder of your pledge in a different way.
What better way to remind you than a sultry, silky thong? This pair of lace underwear won’t keep you chaste in the same way as a cage, but they’ll always remind you that you aren’t supposed to be touching. They also add a thrill to your everyday life, as you won’t want someone to discover them.
So when it’s just too hot for traditional chastity, try something different with the Sissy Low Waist Thong.
