I can't read this. And I can't not read this. My stomach is turned into knots. I am submissive...

Both your characters and your universe are all too real my friend. Please keep writing. Even if it does terrify me.

That's probably the most validating thing anybody has ever said about my fiction.

And there I was worrying there wasn't enough explicit action in this chapter!

Shona's lack of remorse really gets to me for some reason. I've always desired long term chastity(which I define as months), but not permanent, so I really feel for Hal's predicament. Not even sure predicament is the right word, probably situation. Predicament implies it could end.

I also know enough about myself over the years that I would want the keyholder to decide on length of time locked, tease about perm all you want, as long as I know it is just a mind fuck.

In personality profile terms, she has a really, really low Agreeability. Growing up, I found women like that unbelievably hot, but it was impossible to work out how to date them. The mature adult ones I know in RL tend to have settled into a pattern of rotating disposable boyfriends.

CARGO is of course part thought experiment. I've deliberately tuned everything to be extreme while plausibly liveable, and therefore tempting.

Hal does have a predicament, by the way, but it's to do with autonomy.... ;)

We write because we must create and bring things to life, it is a need, not a desire. I have to compliment you on a well developed character, even if meeting her would terrify me lol.

The idea of CARGO is appealing, because I like the idea of being open, honest, and accepted by others. That being said the HrLcker app is more likely to become a reality than CARGO. *fingers crossed lol*

It's difficult for me to say that freedom, or lack thereof, is a predicament for Hal, when I have dedicated my entire adult life to fantasy fulfillment and submission/slavery. Even being locked permanently I would seek out potential partners and make the most of it, so I will continue to root for him.

HrLcker will only become a reality when there are reliable escape proof male chastity devices...

Between Chaster, emalock, chastitymaze, among other keylocking apps, AND the disappointment of other dating apps/forums which are mostly clickbait, spambots, paywalls, and "findoms/catfishers"...

An app like HrLcker that requires in person verification just to join, regardless of whether or not all current devices are escape proof, one can only expect it to be right around the corner to be honest.
