Ever since we started full time chastity, I've kept a record of every orgasm that we've enjoyed. I don't really know why I started doing that, but I'm glad I did as it gives quite an insight into how things have changed over the last 7.5 years. My original target was always that Mistress should have 10 orgasms for every one of mine, and it took until the 2017-2018 chastity year to achieve that (as an average over a whole year). This year we're getting close to 15:1, I wonder what the ratio will be by the end of March?
Some of our records are more fun than others, my favourite record would have to be the ones we set in May 2013 and August 2017, when Mistress had 14 orgasms in one month. In a 31 day month, that's almost every other day and represents about a 50% boost over the average of 9 per month. Conversely, November 2016 was the worst month we've ever had, with Mistress enjoying just 6 orgasms - and with me having 2 that month, that means the ratio was a dismal 3:1 as well! :(
One of the less observed records we have is the time between me cumming inside Mistress R's delicious pussy. The previous record was set between April and September 2016 when I went 134 days without cumming inside. Well, that record has been well and truly annihilated, because the last time I was allowed to cum in Mistress's divine pussy was the 10th of April, which is over 220 days ago... who knows how long it will be until I finally get to explode inside her again?
Speaking of which, my longest period between full orgasms was set this year between April and June, when I was kept waiting for 81 days. By contrast I actually came twice 2 days apart in 2015, I can't see that happening again in a hurry, in fact I think that might be one record that stands forever!
Another record which has stood for a very long time is the most Mistress R orgasms on consecutive nights, this was set way back in April 2013, when Mistress came 5 nights in a row. I have a feeling this one might stand for a long time too, although I'm always game to try and beat it! :)

Thank You for Your Comments!
First of all I'd like to say thank you to those of you who left comments/suggestions for Mistress's list of weight loss related treats (so that's Archedone, Peter, Evil Queen and of course Harry Haversackers..), in case you haven't read their comments I shall post them here...
Archedone said: For reaching a mile stone she could get a condom and a bullet vibrator. holding the vibrator against your cock put the condom on. Now you straddle her 69 on your knees and worship her pussy. she controls the vibrator and you must lick her until you climax.
Evil Queen said: Glad to have you back Robert! May I suggest that your Mistress is applying far too much carrot and not enough stick (in my opinion). All you have suggested is good, but surely for the sake of balance there needs to be punishment for failure. I would suggest a week of total chastity lockdown for a non-loss and a hard paddling for any gains.
Peter said: There could be so much fun to be had with this! Maybe Mistress should re-read your stories for insiration? You have some intense fantasies imagine if Mistress played them out for you, I bet you would lose weight fast! My choice would be the one where you got to service all her friends and sisters orally - wonderful! :)
Harry Haversackers said: Hey, Rob... What's a syn?? Good luck with your weight loss program. I'm in agreement with Mr Anonymous above that there needs to be consequences if 1) you don't reach previously established weight loss goals, or 2) in the worst case, gain weight... The punishments shouldn't be connected to the rewards. In other words, if the reward for meeting your goal is being allowed to eat Mistress R's ass, the punishment for not meeting the goal should not simply be the removal of that perk. I'm of the mind that, you, in a relationship with a dominant woman like Mistress R, would deserve to be taken over her knee and paddled until you truly regret not sticking with the plan... I know that it would work for me!!!
I would love for Mistress R to do this to me... :)

Archedone, that's an interesting idea... although I have my doubts that I would ever be able to cum from a bullet vibrator, I've always found vibrators completely overrated. Thanks for your suggestion though, I appreciate it.
Evil Queen, I'm glad to be back, although I hope that doesn't mean you didn't follow me to Fetblogger? Again, interesting... although being back on the Slimming World diet I'm rediscovering a childhood love of carrots! Thank you for leaving a comment though.
Peter, I very much doubt Mistress would want to live out a lot of my fantasies, and you have managed to pick a story there that Mistress really did not like at all. In fact I think that one was her least favourite story ever! Thanks for your input though.
Harry, a 'Syn' is Slimming World parlance for a unit of calories, so basically a 'Syn' equals about 20 calories. Stuff like vegetables, eggs and fruit is all 'Syn' free, you can eat as much as you like, as are some other things like All Bran and wholemeal bread (although these you can only eat small quantities of), things like chocolate and crisps are 'Syns' and you need to use your allowance on them (and also some pre-prepared foods like burgers or coated chicken dishes). And... well, so you're another nasty, vicious reader who wants to see me paddled.... I never knew you were all so vindictive! Just as well Mistress R isn't nearly as dominant as you like to imagine (which usually is a cause for frustration, but in this instance works in my favour!). Hahaha.
Well, as it happens... earlier today Mistress showed me her draft list of 'treats', and as you would expect from a woman as 'organised' as Mistress R, it was presented to me thus...
SLAVE R's REWARD SCHEME
Each week that 'new' weight is lost (minimum 1/2lb) SR may choose a toy which will be used in the next teasing session. On reaching each of the following, SR may choose a corresponding reward from those listed. New rewards may be added to the lists at any time.
1/2 stone - 1 from list A
1 stone - 2 from list A
1.1/2 stone - 3 from list A
2 stone - 1 from list B
2.1/2 stone - 1 from list A and 1 from list B
3 stone - 2 from list A and 1 from list B
3.1/2 stone - 3 from list A and 2 from list B
4 stone - 4 from list A and 2 from list B including*
4 stone plus - to be decided.
List A
Lick Mistress R's ass
Extra teasing - either an extension of a session or an additional session
Up to 20 ball slaps
Up to 10 minutes of foot worship
Up to 5 minutes of touching your own cock
Choose an item of fetish wear for Mistress to wear in the next teasing session
Ask Mistress to remove her bra either for or during the next teasing session
Edged twice during a teasing session
List B
Watch MR masturbate - with or without a toy
Choose the destination of the next cum (either Mistress's ass, feet or pussy)
Request a ruined orgasm during the next teasing session
Request a full orgasm during the next teasing session.*
Well this looks pretty awesome to start with, I can already see a couple of items that are going to be chosen more than once (can you guess what they might be I wonder?), not sure why I can't choose to cum on Mistress's gorgeous breasts, I think I need to ask about that, it might just be an oversight...
To address any confusion, I requested clarification on the 4 stone reward, apparently I'm only allowed to choose a full orgasm once I get to 4 stone, so maybe that should be on it's own list? Hmm, I'll get back to you once this is finalised I think.
So far the diet seems to be going well, I'm sure I've lost a few pounds already so no stress this week. As predicted, it's a lot simpler to stick to my limits now that they are set correctly, although I do still find it annoying because I tend to hold off and hold off because I don't want to blow my Syns too early and then want something later - particularly at the weekend. But I guess it's something I just need to learn to deal with. Part of the problem I think is that traditionally Mistress eats very strictly during the week and eats whatever she likes at the weekend, which is fine if you can stick to that. Consequently, it puts me in this weird position where I'm supposed to be on a 'diet' and yet in the week I'm the one eating 'nice' things (albeit in small quantities) while she sits there drinking water.
As far as I know you can save all your Syns and eat them all at once if you want to, but I'm not really sure that's a terribly good idea. Anyway, that's enough about dieting for now...
On Saturday afternoon Mistress allowed me a ruined orgasm, which was very frustrating (of course) but still provided some minor relief. My last orgasm was on the 21st of October so it has been 27 days. I've now had 5 full orgasms since April the 1st and 10 ruins... by comparison Mistress has cum 73 times, which means we're approaching a 15:1 ratio now (not to mention 2:1 on the ruins as well) - pretty impressive!
After I had finished leaking, Mistress scooped up the cum with her fingers and had me lick them clean, I love it when she does that because it reinforces the Mistress/slave dynamic between us, in fact the times when she doesn't make me eat my cum I am always rather disappointed...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since I started writing this post, Mistress has enjoyed another orgasm... and I also asked her about the rewards thing. Apparently it was indeed an oversight and I am in fact allowed to ask to cum on her breasts if I want to. Good to know... :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, here's something I found on tumblr. I'm sure you will all enjoy it as much as I do, after all there's nothing hotter than a girl who enjoys inflicting pain on a guys balls.... hahahaha.
I would love for Mistress R to do this to me... :)

Getting Back on the Horse...
Long term readers may remember (about four years ago) that I went to Slimming World and lost two stones in weight (28lbs)... before losing patience with the diet and stopping going. I must admit I regret stopping going because over the last few years I've put back on all the weight I lost (and a little bit more) and I think if I'd carried on I might (at worst) be still a couple of stones lighter than I am now - and probably better than that.
Unfortunately I wrongly believed that I could follow the diet on my own and get the same results (which proved time and time again to be inaccurate), but recently I've come to realise that while there is a lot of bullshit with slimming groups, what I really need is the discipline of having to go every week and get myself weighed. Rightly or wrongly, I need that pressure to make sure that I don't go off the rails and so last night I finally relented and took myself off to my local Slimming World.
I must admit I really wasn't looking forward to it, but in the years since I went it seems to have changed quite a lot and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. There's now two sessions in the evening and most people go to the earlier one (I would if I could get there on time!) and so the later one only had about twelve people there and most of those seemed to be just starting. That was quite nice for me since I didn't feel like everyone knew each other and I was invading their little group (inevitably I was the only man)...
At the end of the session I was weighed and then the lady who runs the group said 'and of course you're lucky because being a man you get 25 Syns per day instead of 15'. To which I replied 'when did that change then?', because for all the time I was at Slimming World I was led to believe that I was supposed to stick to 15 syns a day. This is quite important really, because if I'd known that at the time it would have made it easier to stick to the diet and get the results I wanted. So on the one hand I was well chuffed about now having more Syns to play with but on the other hand slightly annoyed that I'd been misled before. And then when I read through the website it appears that I should actually have 30... but I shall keep that up my sleeve perhaps for now.
It seems kind of ridiculous to me that I can go for over seven years without making myself cum, even though there's nothing physically stopping me from doing so, but I can't apply the same application to sticking to a diet that I know works. But that's how it is, and so I'm back on the wagon and hopefully by next Summer I will be a whole lot thinner. The lightest I've been in the last ten years is 15St 12lbs (222lbs), right now I am 18St 3lbs (255lbs) - which is way too much (let's be honest 222lbs is too much!) so as you can see I have a long and difficult road ahead of me, but I feel determined and rejoining SW is a very positive step in the right direction.
Again, I don't know if anyone remembers my last Slimming World adventure, but Mistress and I agreed that every week I lost weight I would be allowed to choose a sex-toy for us to play with in the next teasing session and I suggested we might do the same again this time around. Earlier tonight Mistress teased my cock to the edge (she is on her period at the moment unfortunately and it is very odd being teased without the taste of her gorgeous pussy on my lips... but I survived, and my cock was lovely and hard throughout) and then told me that she had been working on my 'Rewards Programme'...
She produced a sheet of paper and started reading from it while stroking my cock, but as the light was dim she was struggling to see so my cock eventually got ignored and slowly deflated as she told me her plans so far. It seems she has put quite a bit of thought into it already, with some kind of reward every time I lose any new weight and extra benefits for every milestone achievement reached.
Some of the things she mentioned included being allowed to worship her ass, being allowed to watch her masturbate and being allowed a ruined orgasm. It all sounds very encouraging so far, but I would be interested to hear any ideas you might have which could help me keep focus and get the weight off, I'm sure Mistress would appreciate your input too. I know some of you (but not all) might be having problems leaving comments on my blog at the moment, I don't know why that should be but I've been made aware that it's happening. If you find the comments don't work or you'd prefer to contact me by email then please feel free to do so at...

Don't worry, I'm not going to bang on endlessly about my weight-loss, but it should provide some fun things to write about along the way, and hopefully it should mean I feel better all round and become more productive generally, so hopefully more stories will be coming your way. One of the things I'm really looking forward to is being able to wear the masses of clothes I own that I can't get into, and in particular a really cool dark blue Ted Baker shirt that Mistress bought me last Christmas.
I look forward to hearing your ideas...

My Cock is Healed at Last!
Well it took a whole week, but my cock is finally healed... and so tonight Mistress and I took advantage of that. First Mistress had her fifth orgasm of November (obviously just because I was out of action that didn't mean Mistress would be neglected!) and after a little foot worship I lay down and Mistress started teasing my cock.
Admittedly it was a little slow to get going, but once I managed to relax my cock started to harden and I did what I always do in these situations, I started thinking about Mistress's gorgeous ass! Usually when I think about Mistress's ass, it's more a general memory or combinations of memories from times when she's stood over me and I've been allowed to pull her cheeks apart and gaze at her delicious asshole. Or when she's sank down onto my face and allowed my to tease and probe her amazing asshole with my tongue - usually while she's slapping and stroking my aching cock... that's what I usually fantasize about while she's teasing me.
But tonight was a little different, it started out the same, but as my cock got harder and Mistress's lips closed around me and brought me closer and closer to the edge, I started to picture Mistress's ass being stretched by a big cock (much bigger than mine) from behind while she peered over her shoulder and smiled at me. Eventually the cock pulled out, leaving her ass stretched and cum dripping from her tight hole... she smiled at me again and told me to clean her ass.
That was probably when I edged the first time... :)
Mistress let go of my cock, but I begged her not to stop and she continued gently, waiting for the edge to fade enough that she could continue as she wanted to. In my head the scene continued, she sat up and pushed my head towards the other guy's cock, telling me to clean it for her.
The scene inside my head disappeared as I focused on the wonderful sensations as Mistress sucked my cock and stroked me to a second edge. Her mouth felt like silk wrapped around my aching cock and though I didn't really think I was going to be allowed to cum, it crossed my mind just how easy it could be to cross the line without even trying.
Thankfully that didn't happen.
I resurrected my tumblr the other day, and it didn't take all that long to remind myself why I stopped going on it last time. The problem with people 'curating' their own content, is that most people don't do anything of the sort - all they do is repost everything that comes onto their stream thus creating a maelstrom of crap with no regard given to the quality of what's being posted.
In the last few days I've followed several tumblrs and then unfollowed them almost immediately, because the moment you follow you find your feed swamped with twenty or thirty poor quality videos that they've put up in the last ten minutes. Why do these people not understand it's quality not quantity that will win out in the end... all this scattergun approach does is annoy people - although having said that some of these tumblers had fifty times as many subcribers as I have, so maybe it's me that's doing it wrong?
Probably... which is why my tumblr will probably soon be ignored and dormant once more.

Legendary Blogger and all round friend of this blog 'Harry Haversackers' is still on tumblr, and earlier today he posted a piece someone had written about how 'Chastity' had improved his and his wife's sex life. It certainly can, and furthermore it can redefine what your sex life is all about. If PIV sex is the be all and end all for you then chastity is probably not going to work for you... but there's so much more you can do.

And We're Back!
I don't even want to think about the number of hours I've spent over the last few days putting this blog back how I want it, but the important thing is - it's done! Or at least done enough for the moment, obviously there are still improvements to be made and if anyone finds any problems or anything that isn't working then please leave a comment and I will sort it as soon as I can.

Changes in the Near Future!
Hello!
Some of you will hopefully remember the days back when this blog was 'Robert Anthony's Chastity & Femdom Blog', before I moved to Fetblogger and before Google started threatening to shut down adult content blogs! Well, I'm excited to tell you that over the next little while (I'm not sure quite how long or how soon that might be because I haven't decided exactly how much work I'm willing to do transferring content from the current blog) this blog will once again become my main blog.
That doesn't mean my stories will be disappearing, they certainly won't and I very much hope to be adding more. But the site will be getting a new look, quite how different I'm not too sure as yet, again that depends on how things work out...
There are a number of reasons why I'm doing this, one of which is simply that perhaps because Google favours it's own blogs in search results I've never got close to having as many visitors as I should and as I did when my blog was here. Another is that with regulations popping up all the time about blogs etc, I know Google will put things in place like 'Cookie' warnings and I won't have to worry if they are they or not... and also if the UK does pass some kind of porn age restriction I think people will be happier about visiting my site if the platform is Google rather then a smaller company they may not have heard of.
Still, I am very grateful to Lady M, who set up Fetblogger in our hour of need (even if it was only about an hour before Google realised what a dumb move they were making) and I've had several good years on that platform. But with the closing of every other blog on the platform there was only me and Lady M still there and it makes sense that she can simplify her own commitments and be free to not worry about anyone else but her own blog and to close down Fetblogger eventually if she wants to.
At the same time, I feel like I have struggled to keep the blog going a bit this year, and I need some kind of renewal to reinvigorate my blogging, and I think a change of scenery might be a good way to motivate myself, which in turn could very well lead to some new stories as well.
I am so disappointed at the number of blogs I follow that have closed in the last couple of years and I don't want my blog to be another one that disappears, at the same time I have been absolutely amazed by the incredible number of views this blog has continued to enjoy, and all with just over 40 stories to read. Just yesterday I had nearly 700 views, on a site that has not been posted on this year - that is truly remarkable and I thank you all for your continued enthusiasm for my work. I hope you will enjoy the new blog, at worst you can always just continue to read the stories, but I hope you will enjoy the new content I will post and that we can all move forward together.

At the same time, I feel like I have struggled to keep the blog going a bit this year, and I need some kind of renewal to reinvigorate my blogging, and I think a change of scenery might be a good way to motivate myself, which in turn could very well lead to some new stories as well.
I am so disappointed at the number of blogs I follow that have closed in the last couple of years and I don't want my blog to be another one that disappears, at the same time I have been absolutely amazed by the incredible number of views this blog has continued to enjoy, and all with just over 40 stories to read. Just yesterday I had nearly 700 views, on a site that has not been posted on this year - that is truly remarkable and I thank you all for your continued enthusiasm for my work. I hope you will enjoy the new blog, at worst you can always just continue to read the stories, but I hope you will enjoy the new content I will post and that we can all move forward together.
