Hi! This might not 100% fit the sub but I can't think of another nsfw sub that might better fit.

There's a small chastity component here I'll touch on, but I'm trans (mtf) and I really actively don't enjoy looking at my junk or having it acknowledged even when undressing myself or going to pee, and I'm hoping experimenting with beautifying the area a bit or creating a device or setup for myself to change how it behaves and sits against my body could break down some of those semi-irrational negative associations and make me less ashamed of what I have down there.

I really like the idea of having my erections restrained but I've never tried a chastity cage because I hate the look of the ball ring so much. So I don't 100% understand how they actually work - I guess it's really just dependent on a 'cage' of mechanical pressure? I don't really understand if it actually stops erections or just makes them hurt. Nor what happens if you keep getting turned on while in a small cage! Do you just continually bruise or does your brain realise you can't get hard?

I've seen a lot of devices that are *similar* to what I want but I'd really like to see if I can create an alternative solution to a typical chastity device that 1. doesn't add so much rigid material and 2. looks more like a pretty and permanent body mod than a plastic sissy toy.

I'd like to be able to go to the toilet and just exist without needing to take it off (not that I wouldn't clean it or be mindful of giving my body a rest, just that I'd like it to feel like a relatively comfortable extension of myself). It'd also be really nice if it didn't need straps - if I can't figure that out, much of the experimental part of this goes out the window, and it'll be a simpler project of adapting existing products so that I like their look better.

Aesthetically it doesn't have to 'trick' anyone that I have different anatomy than I do, I just want it to strongly visually signal that I don't wear, use or relate to my genitalia as a typical dick.

So, to explain the idea I've been sitting on but not yet tested - there are a few devices I want to expand on the idea of, most notably the fufu clip, which anchor by clipping or holding the scrotum, pulling it forward to resemble labia, and pushing the balls back into the body - they go in FRONT of the balls, instead of sitting behind the balls. There isn't a TON of info about these but they seem hit or miss and fit seems difficult. They hold the skin in place by tension/keeping it pulled through between arms of mostly-rigid plastic. I'm not sure how well they stay on or prevent erections, especially for longer wear, and unlike a lot of chastity cage users generally a lot of mtf who this is marketed to can't really get hard, or at least can much less easily than before (unfortunately for my purposes here, I can).

My dream solution is a device that keeps the scrotum forward, the balls tucked in and the dick head somewhat restrained by using piercings as anchor points/connections.

Of course, if I had a more general way to discourage erections that would minimise the need form a 'cage' of pressure. It might be easier to split this up into parts, maybe using a more typical ringless chastity device on the head?

So yeah, i'm thinking a semi rigid structure *like* that of the plastic labia/scrotum-forward clip in how it arranges the flesh, but either constituted partly or fully of piercings, OR anchored to the body with piercings so that it's semi-permanently installed. Similar effect but more blending into the body.

It's not important that it can lock (I'm happy to wear an *extra* chastity device over it for chastity play), and it'd actually be ideal if I can both pee in it 'closed' and also open/close/adjust it to access the penis, perhaps with links in the structure/enclosure that can be partially undone. It is really important that it doesn't stop my ability to pee, having to take it off constantly would defeat much of the purpose.

I'd love to take visual cues from female labia ring piercings, which are so pretty to me - either a few piercings, or a couple of rows of piercings, sitting symmetrically under and to the side of the 'clit', accentuating the 'clit' while drawing visual weight away from it, and holding the 'lips' or meat forward. I'm wondering if some transscrotal piercings could serve to 'pinch' the skin forward, away from the balls, and basically accomplish half of the idea here in one set of piercings. perhaps that could anchor to a flush little metal hood for the clit/dick, something like that.

I'm going to need to do some more research on genital piercings that could work as secure anchors and how much I can realistically expect to securely 'bind' my genitalia like this without needing a strap - that seems to be the real technical issue here.

My next step is to try a fufu clip (they come in metal so I might try that or try both for material contrast), try to understand how it works with my anatomy and more thoroughly research the types of genital piercings that might be workable here. Then maybe try to talk to a piercer about the viability of some of those anchor piercings... unless someone more knowledgeable about the anatomy puts the kibosh on the idea or tells me of a better alternative before I get to that point! Maybe tinker up a more lightweight, less complete and bulky counterpart to the clip that complements and provides the necessary structure the piercings can't.

I included a bunch of reference images including similar devices I've found, male and female piercings I'd like to borrow from the look of, and visual examples of some of these less common piercings and setups, even though I'm mainly looking for a proof of concept right now. I would love to come back and update if I find out this isn't going to work (or if it works surprisingly well!), I think my needs are fairly niche but I'd love to let other people know how to do it if I end up getting good results. The extra visual examples are there, of course, because the second leg of the project would be turning it into a visually appealing setup!

It will probably be a while before I get this off the ground but I've had the idea rattling around in my brain for quite a while, wanting something cheaper than full surgery that I can do to make my anatomy a little more useable sexually and mentally. I'm hoping it's doable and it's just a matter of noone having tried a setup like this yet 😭

(I also don't plan to DIY anything dangerous like piercings in which I am not trained! to be clear)

I hope this isn't too much of an early stages project/empty big idea to be allowed here but I genuinely haven't seen much discussion of the like so I'd be really curious if there's stuff I don't know about : ) perhaps its more useful to test how different devices work on me through direct experience and proceed from there than to ask, but I'd still appreciate input.

As far as I can tell it's a pretty basic and semi-proven concept but actually coordinating the necessary forces between the anatomy, trying to create the effect relatively minimally and elegantly/improve on the clip or similar products, and trying materials/altering and combining existing products/researching, getting and healing piercings in different combinations could all take a really long time. Hopefully I can come back with an update and dispel which of these options are not really practical/worth exploring for anyone who likes to tuck and likes chastity but doesn't like standard chastity cages. I honestly don't think it entirely fits among the other projects here but I'm hoping it's interesting enough to make up for that :sob:
thanks for reading!
