#chastity question

[denial-permanente]

What is the trick in finding a woman that will Lock me up and keep me submissive???

Get off of Tumblr would be my first suggestion.

Women like men who are confident and who have hobbies or interests that can be shared. Go find some things that are interesting, things that build your mind and body up. And then don't try to find a dominatrix... just look for a woman who would be into you just because she finds you interesting and attractive.

Was Apple Stock a Smart Buy in Late 2023? AI Analysis Reveals

What if you could travel back to December 2023 and know with certainty whether Apple stock was a winning investment? Thanks to OpenAI's groundbreaking financial agent, we've done the next best thing. Was Apple Stock a Smart Buy in Late 2023? AI Analysis Reveals not just the answer, but the complete blueprint for how artificial intelligence can outsmart traditional market analysis. In this exclusive breakdown, we're pulling back the curtain on the AI engine that's changing finance forever. You'll see the raw agent output. You'll discover how shockingly affordable this powerful tool is to run. You'll learn step by step how to customize it with your own SEC filings or proprietary datasets. This isn't just another stock analysis – it's your masterclass in deploying cutting edge AI for market crushing insights. The future of investing is here, and it's powered by code.

Setting Up the AI Financial Agent

Was Apple Stock a Smart Buy in Late 2023? AI Analysis Reveals the answer—but first, let’s set up the experiment. I used OpenAI’s financial analysis agent. It was installed on a $6 DigitalOcean VPS. This setup proved to be a cost-effective choice for running such intensive tasks. After setting up Python 3.11 and the required packages (including rich and the invaluable openai-agent, I loaded my OpenAI API key, which is critical for accessing the powerful analytical capabilities of the agent. The goal? Make the agent thoroughly analyze Apple’s 2023 10-K report. The focus was on key financial metrics, trends, and management insights. These show future performance. But first, I needed to upload the document to OpenAI’s system. I ensured the format was compatible. The data had to be fully accessible for a comprehensive analysis. This step set the stage for the insights to follow.

Uploading Apple’s 10-K to OpenAI’s Brain

To teach the AI about Apple’s finances, I wrote a Python script (pdfToVectorStore_openai.py) that uploaded the 10-K PDF to OpenAI’s vector store. This converted the document into searchable data. Once uploaded, I grabbed the vector store ID (starting with vs_) and plugged it into the search_agent.py file. Now, the agent had Apple’s real financial data at its fingertips.

Running the AI Stock Analysis

Was Apple Stock a Smart Buy in Late 2023? AI Analysis Reveals the answer—but how? I ran the agent with the command python3 -m examples.financial_research_agent.main and entered my question - Was Apple stock worth buying at the end of 2023? . The agent used four specialized modules: FinancialPlannerAgent, SearchAgent, FinancialWriterAgent, and VerificationAgent. It analyzed fundamentals, risks, and even did web searches before giving a final verdict.

AI-Powered Deep Dive - Was Apple Stock a Smart Buy at the End of 2023?

At the end of 2023, Apple stock demonstrated robust financial performance, driven largely by strong iPhone sales and significant growth in its service sector. However, elevated valuations, strategic manufacturing shifts, and several notable risks posed challenges to prospective investors.

Executive Summary

At the close of 2023, Apple showed solid financial health, bolstered primarily by a thriving services segment and consistent demand for the iPhone. Despite revenue declines and mixed performance across product categories, the company maintained a $3 trillion market capitalization. However, investor caution was advised due to high valuation metrics and potential risks related to competitive market pressures, regulatory scrutiny, and supply chain vulnerabilities.

Financial Performance Overview

During fiscal year 2023, Apple's overall revenue slightly decreased to $383.3 billion from previous year's $394.3 billion. Nonetheless, Apple's services revenue achieved all-time highs, reaching $85.2 billion and highlighting the company's successful shift towards service-driven revenue streams. The Q4 earnings call indicated substantial resilience in Apple's operations amidst macroeconomic headwinds, revealing particularly strong iPhone sales growth, record-setting in emerging markets, and advancements in environmental sustainability.

Valuation Metrics and Analyst Ratings

Apple concluded 2023 with several elevated valuation indicators—its P/E ratio was significantly higher than the market average at 30.0, while the elevated P/B and PEG ratios signaled that investors expected substantial future growth. Analysts appeared optimistic, reflected through increased price targets—from $220 (Needham & Company LLC and Morgan Stanley) to $250 (Wedbush)—maintaining a largely positive outlook despite noted revenue slowdowns. The consensus rating was a "Moderate Buy," indicating investor confidence tempered by existing valuation concerns.

Emerging Challenges and Risks

Despite solid financials, several substantial risks existed. These included competitive pressures from major rivals such as Samsung and Google, regulatory risks highlighted by U.S. antitrust actions, and significant supply chain vulnerabilities exacerbated by geopolitical concerns and production shifts. Apple continued to diversify its manufacturing outside China, aiming to reduce risks associated with geopolitical instability and regional conflicts, notably the sourcing controversy in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Strategic Sector and Industry Dynamics

The broader technology sector recovered significantly in 2023 due to expanded investments in Artificial Intelligence, which many tech giants, including Apple, leveraged substantially. Meanwhile, ongoing legal and competitive challenges painted a complex landscape for Apple's operations.

Conclusion

Given the mixed financial metrics and numerous underlying risks, Apple's stock at the end of 2023 remained a potentially rewarding yet cautious investment. The company's strong market standing and innovation capability provided a robust investment thesis, while valuation concerns and substantial external threats mandated careful investor consideration and thorough risk assessment.

Recommendations and Follow-Up Questions

Was the high valuation justified by Apple's growth outlook post-2023?

What strategic steps did Apple take in early 2024 to address identified risks and maintain market leadership?

How sustainable were the growth rates observed in Apple's services segment?

The Shocking Cost of AI-Powered Investing

The best part? This powerful analysis cost just $1.06. The agent made 28 OpenAI's Chat completion api calls. It used 50,862 input tokens. Additionally, it ran 4 web searches and 9 file searches. For less than a coffee, I got a professional-grade stock analysis. Imagine running this weekly for multiple stocks—AI makes elite research affordable for everyone.

Try It Yourself—No Finance Degree Needed

Want to test this yourself? I have shared the GitHub scripts above so you can upload your own SEC filings. Swap Apple’s 10-K for NVIDIA, Tesla, or any stock. Change the question. The AI adapts. Was Apple Stock a Smart Buy in Late 2023? AI Analysis Reveals the power of automation. The future of investing isn���t Wall Street—it’s code, data, and a few smart scripts.

Hey Tom, finally ordered my first chastity cage and it will be delivered in just a few days..any prep work that I need to do to prepare besides the obvi a clean smooth shave? Any supplies or things I need to get ? anything else you can pass along would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

🔏 First thing, run your finger around the inside and outside of the cage, feeling for any obvious sharp edges. Then, run a cotton ball around to see if anything gets snagged on an edge that you couldn't feel. Your testicle skin will be more sensitive than your fingertip, especially after being hot and squished up in your pants all day. Take some fine scotchbrite pads (from Home Depot or B&Q, depending on which side of the pond you're on), and run it aound the inside if you feel anything sharp.

You will probably want some lubrication around the cuff ring and the inside of the cage. I recommend a heavy hand cream like Gold Bond, Nivea, Aquaphor, etc. The creams will pick up skin oils, sweat, bits of urine, etc., so you want something that will wash out easily with hot water in a shower. I do not recommend vaseline because of how difficult it will be to clean.

If your cage has one of those cheap brass barrel locks, you may need to lightly sand down the top edges that won't usually be covered by the cage flange. Unfortunately, even the better cages often use poor quality locks. You might want to buy one (or even to have a spare) from the Holy Trainer site, or from Amazon where you can find the original Burg Wachter ME/2 style barrel locks.

My personal kink taxonomy hell is cages. As a trans lesbian looking only for content including trans lesbians, I'm in a hellish enough spot as it is. But then when I go looking for women in cages, 99% of the time I find women who have their dicks in cages but are otherwise unconfined. I do not want this. She probably can't even get it up anyway, what does it matter if her soft penis gets a private cage? I am looking for dog cages where the caged dog is actually an entire transgender lesbian. But nobody tags "dog cage" and hardly anyone tags "kennel" so I am forced to delve deep into the unappended "cage" mines. And of course even when I do find actual dog cage content, half the time it's just people crawling around on the floor in the same room as a cage. Which is fine I guess but what's the point? That shit is expensive are why aren't you going to use it?

oh yeah, there's absolutely no specificity with cages even though that can mean a LOT of things

The Scent of Jasmine

<prev next>

Who's in the mood for some carewhumping after the emotional rollercoaster of almost dying? I know I am!

Thank you @whumped-by-glitter and @generic-whumperz for being awesome beta readers

TW/CW: aftermath of mock execution, trauma aftermath, extremely dubious consent, nonverbal whumpee, whumper turned carewhumper, dubiously consensual nudity, death threats, chastity devices (yes, it’s back), forced domesticity, food whump (sort of) (tagging it anyway to cover my bases), intimate whumper

The boss noticed Khaled’s grateful enthusiasm slowly fade into a catatonic silence on the drive home. He didn’t think much of it, though. Poor boy is just shocked is all, he told himself, we can work on that. He parked, got out of the car and led Khaled out of the garage and to the elevator.

His first order of business was to strip Khaled when they got home. The poor thing was soaked in melted snow and cooled piss. He was barely responsive as Thomas pulled him into the laundry room and slowly peeled each layer of clothing off his shivering body. “You need a bath, Khaled.”

Khaled didn’t reply, instead opting to stare at his bare feet with empty, starless eyes. I can’t blame him for being quiet. Anyone would be a little messed up after a mock execution, he figured. He sighed, gently taking the slave’s hand in his and leading him to the master bathroom.

Once inside, Thomas deposited him at the entrance and turned on the lights and the fan. Khaled stood silently watching him by the door as he knelt by the large, deep bath tub. “Come on in,” he beckoned. Khaled inched closer to the bath tub as Thomas poured a generous glug of bubble bath solution into the marble expanse and cranked the water full-blast, making micro-adjustments to make sure the temperature wasn’t too hot. As a finishing touch, he uncapped a tiny bottle of jasmine oil and dripped a few drops into the tub. The floral scent rose on the plumes of steam coming from the frothing tub.

Once the tub was full enough, Thomas turned off the tap and pulled Khaled closer to the tub. He effortlessly scooped the young man’s cold body into his arms, settling him on the edge of the bath tub before gently lowering him in. “I’m going to help you wash your hair and body. Nod if you understand me.”

Khaled faintly nodded, eyes fully closing as he slumped into the soapy water. “Good boy.” Nothing but a small, contented sounding whimper answered him. At least he’s becoming verbal again.

Thomas methodically washed the young man’s body and hair, being mindful of not getting any soap in his eyes as he massaged his scalp with the shampoo. He noticed the newly forming chafe marks on Khaled’s wrists as he scrubbed his body. All the while he whispered sweet nothings into his ear, like “good boy, you’re being so good right now, we’re almost done, I gotta rinse you off and drain the tub next.”

The awareness in Khaled’s eyes was flickering back on once Thomas helped him out of the bath tub and began towel-drying him. “Back with me, beautiful?” he teased.

“Mmm.” Inky dark eyes glittered up at him from dark lashes and damp strands of black hair as Thomas wrapped a soft fluffy towel around his shoulders.

“Yeah, good. Very good.” He procured something small and metallic from behind his back.

Khaled instinctively backed away as soon as he saw what it was. “Khaled,” he warned. It was all he needed to say for the boy to stay rooted on the spot. “I haven’t forgotten about you running around and getting an STD,” he explained as he wrapped the cock cage around Khaled’s privates. “And I’m still mad about it. But maybe I will let you out once we’re both all better.” He padlocked it in place and held the small caged appendage in his hand. “Or once I put that dumpster lover of yours under, like the horndog he is. Whichever comes sooner.” He marveled at how it was but a microcosm of Khaled’s greater captivity. As he craned his gaze upwards, he saw Khaled pout. “Oh, don’t give me that look –I’m doing this for your own good!” The boy smoothed his frown back into a neutral expression of apathy as he hid his eyes behind his lashes.

“That’s more like it. Now, can you change into your pajamas and wait in the living room until Master is done in here?” He measured out his words slowly and carefully, explaining it as if Khaled was a child again. Another quiet hum answered him. “Good boy. When I’m done, we can eat, and then we’ll watch whatever you’d like.” He gestured him out with a small wave of the hand, then hopped into the shower for a quick rinse off himself.

When he got out of the shower, towel-dried himself, and changed into a fresh pair of flannel pants and a wife-beater tank top, Thomas made his way to the living room, where Khaled sat on the floor, at the foot of the couch, gazing down at the carpet with desolate eyes. He was still wrapped in the bath towel. Seeing him there brought back memories of when Khaled was younger, when he would lean against his shins and let him brush his thick black hair. The memory brought back fond feelings in Thomas’ chest. He turned around and went back to the bathroom for a hairbrush.

Once he was done brushing his slave’s hair, they ended up sitting opposite each other at the dining room table, each with a plate of reheated takeout from a new Indian restaurant Tom had wanted to try. While the boss himself ravenously devoured the bhuna ghost, Khaled kept tearing the same corner of buttered naan between his fingers while staring apathetically at the murgh cholay.

“Are you sure you don’t want any more food?” he asked again. “You hardly touched your portion.”

The boy merely shook his head.

“Come on, at least two more bites, Khaled,” he coaxed. “Give me at least two more bites before I put it away.”

Khaled cast him an empty, weary stare, not breaking eye contact as he tore off the weathered chunk of bread, dipped it into the curry, and ate exactly two more bites.

They ended up cuddling onto the couch together after dinner, a rarity in their household. Thomas man-spread on the couch and rested his arms outstretched along the back. Khaled, still wearing nothing but a damp bath towel around his shoulders, leaned against his side with his head resting on his chest. His hands curled around a steaming mug of chai, which he occasionally sipped as they watched a rerun of the AFC World Cup. Khaled didn’t cheer, or groan, or offer any commentary of any kind throughout the whole match. It was unusual for Khaled to remain this quiet and glum during a game. Thomas gently took the mug from his hands and set it on the table. “What’s wrong? Why are you so quiet this evening? Is it –oh, is it because of that little scare off the side of the road?” he guessed. Khaled pushed his weight up against him, just short of burrowing into the man’s side.

“I guess I scared you pretty badly, didn’t I? Look, I’m sorry,” he apologized. “I know now it wasn’t you, but I had to be sure. I promise I will never fake you out like that again.”

The young man remained silent as he leaned against his chest.

“If anything, you should be blaming that boyfriend of yours,” he continued. “I bet he never would’ve attempted that hit if he knew what I was about to do to you tonight. But, what’s done is done, and now you’ll never see him again.”

Khaled did not respond.

It took about an hour more of mind-numbing soccer footage for him to realize the boy had fallen asleep on him.

Oh. He softly smiled as he turned off the TV. He carefully got up and lowered Khaled onto the couch, disentangling the towel from his unconscious, nude form. He propped a throw pillow behind his head, then unfurled a fleece blanket and draped it over him, making sure his feet were covered and he was properly tucked in for the night. “Goodnight, Khaled,” he whispered, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on the side of the boy’s parted lips. “I… love you...”

Dc x Dp Prompt #11: High Tech Chastity Belt

I can’t remember where I saw this, but it just popped into my head and I immediately had to get it out.

I remember reading something and I can’t remember if it was actually pitch pearl or just Danny pretending he was dating Phantom to avoid an identity reveal but Jack and Maddie slap the specter deflector on him to keep Phantom away.

Word gets out and a lot of people are not pleased that Jack and Maddie have essentially placed their son in what is functioning as a high tech chastity belt.

And it made me think: in a dp x dc cross over would the same concept work on Jason(or some other character), assuming we make him at least partly ghostly/liminal? How would this situation come about? Who put the belt on whom and why? (It’d be funny if it was Bruce through a misunderstanding ) How affective would it be? Is this better for angst or comedy? (I vote comedy)

Would Ocean O’Connell Rosenberg and Grace Chasity be friends or fight each other to the death?

Does the book work like a death note or does grace have to seduce them???

[denial-permanente]

To what extent should someone worry for a cages width?

Seeing cages 39mm wide or much less makes me question if what's going to go inside, having a much wider dimension, isn't going to explode😰😅

Dude, unless you are Superman or the Hulk, you are not going to explode anything. 😅

Your penis is a balloon made of meat. Blood fills little vessicles and hormones signal them to remain closed to pride mechanical support. Putting your balloon into a cage prevents engorgement and erection; your body will not continuously pump blood into it.

Most long term users find they are most comfortable with a cage just about as wide as their flaccid penis, and maybe 6 to 8 millimeters longer.

[mrs--edge]

I know you’re very (very) satisfied with Tom’s current cock but is it possible you might upgrade again one day?

No.

Over the last few years that I've been chatting with people here it seems to be a male fantasy that their wives will take bigger and bigger dildos. Unfortunately most men don't know about women's bodies or how things work. Just as some men are built bigger than others... women are also built differently inside. And most of us would find those monster 12 inch porn star dildos extremely painful.

The Vixskin Tex that we used for years is the same size as the "average" man, and had a shape very similar to my husband. It was a good fit for us, and honestly I would have been happy continuing to use it. In the pictures online the Ranger looked just a little bigger... but in person it was way bigger than I had imagined. And even though it's been a couple of years I can still feel how big it is inside me... especially when my husband starts getting all passionate and losing control (which is most of the time 🤣).

So no... I really don't want anything bigger. Besides I have come to associate how it feels with my husband. To me, the Ranger is "him" and I love everything about how all of this fits together. Anything bigger would really feel wrong to me and would probably spoil how things have worked out for us.

[that-tom-allen]

Hello, Tom Allen!

I am keeping my husband locked in a CB6000s for some days in the last year.

He and I are trying to make him cum in his cage without sucess.

Is it really possible to acchieve this goal?

May you provide some suggestions? With and without pegging?

Thank you!!!

🔐 First, I think that it is great to see a wife who has found enjoyment with this, and one who also tries to push some limits on her husband.

That said, remember that cages are meant to prevent men from having orgasms through direct stimulation of their penis. For most men, direct stimulation is the only path to orgasm that they have ever known, so being able to develop new pathways may not be easy, or even successful.

However, since the idea of not needing direct stimulation is so exciting, not to mention that it's fun to make one's partner have an orgasm, most couples that practice locking their man will make an effort to have him orgasm in his cage.

There are a few ways to approach this. The first one on most people's list is pegging. Since @mrs--edge does not indulge (her philosophy is that I am locked up for her pleasure, and not to indulge my own), I will point you to a website on the topic. Note that prostate orgasms take a lot of practice

The next thing to try is using a vibrator on (and around!) the cage. We have a Hitachi Magic Wand which neither of us cares for; while it is powerful and will lead to an orgasm, I found that generally even the slow speed is too buzzy for me, and an orgasm does not feel very good. However, that's me. A lot of guys really enjoy it, and the orgasm in the cage will certainly "take the edge off" his horniness.

For a lot of guys, though, the default method involves shaking and manipulating the cage. This works for some men because, even though it is not direct stimulation, the pressure and movements stimulate enough nerves inside their bodies. This may not work consistently, and you may need to try it for several weeks before it will work, but it would probably be fun trying.

And that leads me to where my wife and I are on the list.

My wife and I have sex frequently, although as I am always locked, I wear a strapon harness and a Vixskin Ranger for her (the practice of called #foxing). Because our sex is kind of hot, and we tend to make each other more excited with some dirty talk, a lot of moaning, and some scratching and biting, I become very close to having an orgasm just from the mental and emotional connection we make. However, sometimes the pressure of my cage pushing against her ass is very rhythmic, and triggers something inside me, and an orgasm will start to build. I have to let her know that I'm getting close, and ask permission to come. When she decides that I should have one, I find that I'm pushing against her pretty hard, which must be moving things around inside me. A man's erection extends several inches inside his body, and I'm sure that the muscles and connective tissue being moved around is what triggers an orgasm for me.

Note that when we were first doing this, those orgasms barely counted. They felt ruined, and often left me feeling incomplete. It took several years of not having any other type of release until they became powerful, pleasurable, and very intense. You may not get to this stage, but I often joke that my brain has been "rewired" to enjoy coming this way, because they are definitely as good as how I remember orgasms in the old days. Of course, I am only allowed to have them very infrequently, so...

[gilderoylockhart]

HEYY I dunno if u have an Hamilton s/i but.

What would ur s/i’s outfit be ?? I was thinking it’d be similar to bullet’s outfit or samual seaburys but. Idk :3

For totally non silly reasons,,

I actually have been wanting to make a s/i so bad but I haven't been able to bc I don't know what the outfit would be....

I do love Samuels' outfit though so I think if I were to make a s/i I'd probably make the outfit similar to his ^_^

[build-a-sissy-princess]

I don't have a partner right now so that's why, "Only when your master / mistress says," isn't an option. I'm the one who's gonna hold the key.

[princesspsalot]

Wouod you ever make a guy chastity cage for you

I have!! I love it, the power of having the key really brings out the brat in me!

Daddy hasn’t worn his in a while, got a new one for him to try might have to get him in it 🤭🤭

Codependent friendship

-How do say you’re in a lesbian (gay, homosexual or queer) relationship without saying the word? -I’m in a codependent physical friendship!?!

I think I've said this before. But I think it's awesome that you two are just having the time of your lives. No dom/sub relationship, no emasculation or humiliation. Just two adults having fun.

Thank you 😊 🙏

Yes, that's pretty weird, isn't it? 🤣
