While using a dick lock or chastity cage is generally safe when used consensually and with proper hygiene, there are some potential risks involved. These risks include chafing, skin irritation, and infection due to improper cleaning or ill-fitting devices. Additionally, wearing a cage that is too tight may cause circulation issues or nerve damage. To minimize risks, ensure the cage fits properly, maintain good hygiene, and remove the device immediately if you experience any pain or discomfort.
