Survey Results: How Long Men Stay Locked on Average

When I started selling male chastity devices, one question kept popping up in my inbox: “How long do guys usually stay locked?” Some expected me to say a few days. Others bragged about being locked for months. But instead of guessing, I ran a quick survey with actual wearers—real men living that locked life—and the answers were honestly eye-opening.

The most common range? 7 to 14 days. Yep, about one to two weeks is where most guys land before getting unlocked for cleaning, teasing, or playtime. That’s long enough to feel the mental edge of denial but short enough to avoid hygiene issues or cage fatigue.

Then there’s the next level—the “committed” group. About 25% of respondents stay locked for a full month or more, some with their keyholders’ permission, some with timed padlocks or smart locks. They talked about it like a mental challenge, describing how their minds slowly adjust from “horny frustration” to “calm surrender.”

A smaller but bold crowd—roughly 10%—goes beyond three months. These are usually guys in long-term chastity relationships or serious power-exchange dynamics (without using that word, of course). Many said it becomes part of daily life, almost like wearing a wedding ring… just a lot tighter.

Of course, everyone’s body and lifestyle are different. Some prefer shorter cycles for comfort or hygiene, while others push limits to deepen their submission or please their keyholder. The real takeaway? There’s no one “right” duration. It’s all about finding your balance—mentally, physically, and emotionally.

If you’re new to chastity, my advice is simple: start small. Try 24 hours, then 3 days, then a week. Take notes on how your body feels and how your headspace shifts. Over time, you’ll figure out what kind of lock-up rhythm works best for you.

Curious to try longer wear but need something comfortable enough to make it possible? I’ve got a few designs in my store made exactly for that—lightweight, breathable, and safe for extended wear.

Because in the end, whether it’s 3 days or 3 months, the experience should never just be about the lock—it’s about what it unlocks inside you.
