The Fort Stainless Steel Locking Chastity Device Review – part 2
Yesterday, I told you all about how I ordered The Fort Stainless Steel Locking Chastity Device from Extreme Restraints, what the packaging looked like, what it included and how the device compared to the CB6000. Now it’s time to continue my review, with yet more pictures.
Once we were done unpacking and examining everything, all that was left to do was put the device to the test. One thing that did not come in the box is an instruction manual. There was no indication anywhere as to which piece went where. Nothing.
Having used the CB6000 before, we were convinced we’d figure it out easily. I mean, we knew the tube goes over the penis, and the ring goes around the cock and balls (obviously). The spacers, however, turned out to be another story.
Boy Toy started putting things together but after 5 to 10 minutes, we still weren’t sure of how to proceed. A few more trials, and I went to get my laptop so I could check out the pictures on the Extreme Restraints website and see how they did it.
From the picture, it looks like this guy uses the big spacer just behind the padlock. I went on to read the device’s description and sure enough, there were what you could call directions for use: “The spacers can be used in various ways by positioning it in-between the cock ring and cage or on the outside. By using one or all 3 spacers most men should obtain a very good fit and not be able to pull through.”
As for the ring, I selected the one that was closest in size to the ring Boy Toy uses when he wears the CB6000.
We decided to arrange the spacers like the guy above because putting the big spacer in between the tube and the ring made for way too much space. But there’s one little problem with this configuration. The guy on the site is holding the device and it turns out it’s for a reason… The pins stick way out in the back!
Moving around a bit, trying the thing out, Boy Toy didn’t find the pins to be that bothersome, so we decided we’d see how it’d go. The other weird thing about this design is that if you use the big spacer on the outside like we did, the padlock kinda sticks way out. And it clonks when Boy Toy walks around! One thing’s for sure, I know where he is in the house when he’s in the Fort. Putting a rubber band around the padlock would probably fix this but we couldn’t get our hands on one at the time.
Other than that, Boy Toy initially found the device to be quite comfortable. He said it felt just like the CB6000, except heavier. I’m not sure what psychological effect the thing had on him but he sure seemed happy, last night. I followed him around the house, badgering him with questions. How did it feel, that it was stainless steel rather than see-through plastic? This made him blush and he suddenly realized that he couldn’t break out of this device, if worse came to worse. He looked scared. He told me the thing felt totally secure.
Then I decided to put it to a different test: I ordered Boy Toy to strip and had him climb on the elliptical trainer. I had him workout for 5 minutes. When he was done and I told him how comfortable he looked exercising in the device, he said that it’s wearing the chastity device with pants which usually causes a problem, as the pants will push the thing up into him.
He stayed in his new stainless steel chastity cage all through the night and apparently, he slept horribly. But to be fair, he usually sleeps baldy when he first starts wearing the CB and then he gets used to it. This morning, he started pushing down on the tube and managed to pull his cock completely out of the device! He was using the third ring in size. Since he could pull out, I had him change to the smallest ring. I had to leave for work shortly after so I made sure to hide a key in the house, and I instructed him to let me know should there be any unusual discomfort.
I received an email from him towards the end of the workday. He said he had several kinky dreams during the night and that the psychological aspects seemed to follow him into his dreams. He also told me that when he went out for a walk, he had to tie a string around his waist to hold up the Fort, as it was hanging down too much due to its weight. This caused the pins to poke into his skin while walking, which was very uncomfortable.
When I got back home, I asked him to cut and grind the pins, since he would never wear the device with the big spacer in between the tube and the ring. He obliged.
As you can see, the pins aren’t sticking way out anymore. But notice how low the device hangs? That’s due to its weight. It hangs so much that even with the smallest ring, Boy Toy managed to pull out of the thing. The picture below is proof.
He would probably have a damn hard time pushing his penis back in, so if he did pull out, maybe I’d find out. Maybe. Nonetheless, for me, this totally takes away the value of the device. Boy Toy says that there needs to be some sort of lockable belt to keep the device up higher. I guess that could work, and I’ve instructed him to find a solution, as an assignment. Needless to say, I’m disappointed.
However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider the Fort Stainless Steel Locking Chastity Device. I mean, if Boy Toy could pull out of it, he can certainly pull out of the CB6000. I just don’t think he’s ever given it enough of a try, so he didn’t know he could. I imagine some men would not be able to pull out. No one’s made the same.
This cage does have its appeal. The stainless steel is definitely hot. It feels more solid and secure than transparent plastic. Its heaviness can be a drag but it can also act as a constant reminder that one’s cock is under lock. It’s comfortable, too, once you get rid of the extra lenght on the pins!
In the end, it’ a personal choice whether this is or isn’t the device for you. I’ve provided all the information I could. But stay tuned, I may yet publish a part 3 of my review, after we have really test driven the Fort.

The KSD-G3 plastic insert should fit this device, as it seems to be a copy of the CB3000.
The G3 is an insert that fits around the cage opening and has a tongue that sticks about a 1/2″ into the cage along the top side, with a small lip or bump at the far end that turns down, pressing into the penis. When you are flaccid enough to pull out, the lip catches loose skin, making it bunch up at the end. An order will come with 3 sizes of lip.
It also helps to keep the 3k from sliding down, but I have no idea if it’s enough to manage the weight of the steel device.
You can find them at http://www.keptforher.com
Also, about the locking pin and spacers? How would you like a set of different sized ones, so that it doesn’t stick out so far? I happen to have some already made up that will fit the 2k, 3k, and Curve models, and would probably fit this as well.

Thank you for the review. I hope you will post more.
Pullout with tubes is sadly a problem. I suspect anything that is not so tight as to be harmful can be pulled out off with enough determination.
My experience with the K3 devices that Tom mentions is mixed. I’m still experimenting. With the two largest I get swelling of the glans and foreskin (oedema) after a day or so. The smallest is not a 100% secure but is more secure than without it.
Their are two ways the K3’s make pullout more difficult – the tab and the narrowing of the entrance to the tube. When I have time I plan to modify the largest so that I have a large tab but much less narrowing of the tube entrance to see if that works better.
I have a stainless steel Gerecke cage. One gets used to the weight and one can select underwear that gives some support. If BoyToy’s experience is like mine after a few days he will adapt to the weight and find it much less noticable.
Psychologically steel is fun. Having had tubes split with the CB6K I tend to take care to avoid subjecting it to stress. Knowing it may break apart or that I could snap it off in seconds detracts from the fun. With the Gerecke (modified to include a steel rod through an inaccessible frenum ring) there is no way I could do that with my bare hands and I don’t have to worry about it breaking accidentally. That makes it easier to forget it is there and after a while I stop even feeling it. In fact it becomes so comfortable that even if I focus my attention there I can barely notice it. Perhaps because of that when I become aroused it is quite a bit more intense than with a CB6K.
The downside of a more open design is that there is less sensory deprivation of the penis. The Fort looks as though it might be better in that department, more similar to a CB6K or CB3K. I gather from your post that that is the case.
I’m curious to hear about hygiene aspects. The Gerecke is a cross between a cage and a tube that allows very effective cleaning whilst worn. With the CB6K such is harder (the short tube is a little easier) and I feel the need for removal at intervals for cleaning. From the look of the Fort I suspect it may be better in this respect than the CB6K. For example, the side vents/slots look a little larger than those of a CB6K. Is that so? I ask because putting a cotton wool tipped stick through to clean with the CB6K can catch skin painfully and slightly larger slots might make that less problematic. I’d value hearing about your and BoyToy’s experiences in respect of hygiene.
Have fun,
Michael

Tom: I knew about the KSD-G3 inserts but have never paid them close attention. I’m wondering if they would indeed fit? We don’t have the CB3K here so I can’t compare, but I can tell you the tube of the Fort is shaped slightly differently than the tube of the CB6K: it’s rounder, whereas the opening of the CB6K has a flatter top. I’ll definitely keep it in mind and maybe even have Boy Toy purchase it. I mean, I paid for the Fort, he can pay for the KSD-G3, don’t you think?
As for spacers & pins offer, will email you

Just a curious wife: You’re cute

Michael X: Thanks! Good to know you get used to the weight. I’ll have something to tell Boy Toy when he complains about it.
He moved on to the smallest ring, yesterday, but woke me up at 4 am because he was in pain. I told him where he could find the key and went right back to sleep so right now, he’s out of the thing. I’m a bit discouraged, to be frank, but I guess I should have known the thing would be so heavy! We need some sort of belt to hold it up. As it is, it’s so heavy it almost slides off his cock all by itself…
Yes, steel is awesome. Both for him and for me, I think.
I’ll interrogate him on hygiene issues and see what he has to say!

The 3k is round, while the 6k is oval. However, the G3 fits both devices. I’ve been particularly pleased with how it’s been working out.
I wrote about them both on this post earlier this year. I swear, I’m going to start a blog just for chastity mods.

i am giggling away at the clonk. LOL!
GREAT review. xox

The device came back in stock yesterday. Like you I failed to receive an email notifying me. So, I’ve ordered one.
I’ll let you know my experiences with UPS, customs (UK), and charges. Last time I ordered something from the States that required paying charges I received an email and had to pay over he web. UPS say delivery on the 25th (Wednesday) and that it is currently in Ontario, Ca. Also that it weighs 2.5lb. If that’s true then, ouch

Michael X: I knew it was back in stock, I received an email notification… lol
Hmm yours has a longer way to go! And it’s strange, mine said 1 pound.
Did you manage to ask Extreme Restraints to declare a lower value for customs?
November 21st, 2009 at 12:53 am
Jobthingy: I was giggling too… But it’s kinda cool, I knew where he was in the house! Just like a cowbell!
November 21st, 2009 at 5:26 am
Yes, I’ve now had an email too, it arrived the day after I ordered. I’m sure it is illegal to declare a lower value so I doubt they would if someone asked, I didn’t. The Sex is Fun podcast has a code that gives 7% discount which I used, they broadcast it during the podcasts.
In the UK I believe I might be excused customs if it were a gift and they labeled it as such.
Another possibility might be having it declared as a medical device for the treatment of a chronic condition which would exempt it from VAT.
I have bought several lower and one higher value items from US ebay sellers and not been hit by customs so I suspect there is an element of luck and an element of who the carrier is. Given it was UPS I expected a charge, based on past experience, and indeed their website has it flagged as “SHIPMENT ON HOLD AWAITING PAYMENT OF DUTY & TAX / BROKERAGE RELEASED SHIPMENT. SHIPMENT IS SUBMITTED TO CLEARING AGENCY FOR FURTHER CLEARANCE”
Anyway, it has traveled from Ontario, CA to Philadelphia, PA and onwards to East Midlands Airport, GB. Wouldn’t it be cute if UPS could continue the tracking so one could have ongoing 24/7 tracking location accessed by the internet

Promises, promises.
The weight issue is one I’m familiar with when wearing the Steelheart, though this device looks like it’s a bit heavier. Hard to say. I’ve already seen your next post, so I know you’d *ahem* licked the problem.
November 26th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
My Fort arrived yesterday so just to round off my earlier comments.
Real cost after adding customs clearance, duty, shipping is more like £223 (GBP). In the UK a CB6000 is around £95.
It is definitely impressive, much more solid than my Gerecke steel device. In real terms security is similar since the weak point for both is the lock but psychologically it feels a lot more secure, a combination of appearance, weight and tighter more enclosing fit.
Looks like hygiene will be easier than the CB6000 in terms of both cleaning and urinating.
The KSD-G3 does not fit as I would like. There is a slight lip to the entrance to the tube and the tube is a little lower down from the locking post hole than in a CB6000. It is workable but will be better when I have had a go at the K3 to alter its upper part to fit better.
Somehow I’m going to need to find a way to get a custom locking pin made once I have decided on long term setup. The current one sticks out too far. Given they provide five rings it seems miserly to have just one length of post.
My 15mm Asus padlock sits fairly flat and surprisingly the bulge under clothing is certainly no worse than a Cb6000, possibly slightly less.
Security with the K3 is good. I suspect I could pull out but that to do so would leave me cut and bruised, I tried and decided not to take the experiment to self mutilating extremes.
Weight is … interesting. Here are some figures, all with smallest K3 and lock:-
CB6000S – 73g
CB6000 – 83g
Gerecke – 199g
Fort – 352g (or using 2 smallest rings 473g)
Not only won’t this go through airport security I’d suggest not even walking past the building
Despite the weight after a few hours it is surprisingly unnoticeable.
I’ll be making an add on to enable use of my frenum piercing ring for security after which I’ll do some longer term wear trials but certainly it is comfortable and I’m very happy with it.
Given it is adjustable, and with the K3 secure, this is perhaps the best device yet for the fantasy of springing non consensual chastity on someone without warning. Using a modified long hasp padlock (jammed shut with superglue) in place of the locking pin it should be proof against all but an angle grinder or several hours with a HSS handsaw.

I think that this might be a good option for this belt http://www.lockedinsteel.com/?Cat=63&CatName=CBx000%20Security%20Belt
I always found it a bit ridiculous to wear with a plastic device (it seems odd to have such a heavy belt with a light weight device). with the fort it might create an interesting option for a less expensive full steel belt…
Just wondering…
thanks for your comments on this device.
December 13th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Thanks, Guodor! I admit that it looks a little funny with a plastic device. It’s probably a much better match for the Fort!
December 24th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Well, I am ticked off. I just purchased a new CB6000S when I discovered your blog and the Fort SSCB. I have been wanting a metal device for long time because with the plastic once I hit my 70+ days of lock up and orgasm denial I go crazy and usually end up cutting the pins (I have been throwing away the keys hoping to get permanent lock up and denial.). I’ve been looking at these: http://www.maturemetal.com.
So, what about piercing Boy Toys cock and using a cable on the piercing to prevent pullout? If I go for the Fort I will pierce.
