So I got the Progasm out to give it a try. I'd gotten a lot of advice, and read a lot of intros etc., so I felt I was as ready as reading could make me. Now it was time to get real.
First was prep. I used a bulb syringe to give my rectum a good wash, repeating until what came out was clean. And I made sure my nails were clean, trimmed and filed smooth.
Then it was time to loosen up the anus. This is pretty much new ground for me, and I got some good advice. I got some anal lube gel )I think it's Wilde Jelle, something like that( and started by massaging the outside of the anus. In a short time it relaxed, so I could put one fingertip in. I continued to massage, until I could get to the inner sphincter. It took about ten minutes, I guess, until I could get two fingers inside to the second knuckle and they were free to move and flex.
Then it was Progasm time.
I used a lube injector to put about 5cc of the anal lube inside. I shot it all in one place, which turned out to be a mistake. I should have drawn the injector out as I pressed the plunger, to distribute the lube better.
So I took the head of the Progasm and sort of nosed it around at the anus. It's pretty smooth, but it's firm and unyielding, so though its cross-section is smaller than my combined fingers, I clenched a bit as I tried to get it in. So I took my time, sort of nosing it in and alternating with using my fingers again. My position was as recommended in the instructions: On my left side, left leg nearly straight, right knee drawn up comfortably. It took a good fifteen minutes until I had the head in, and then it shot in pretty easily. I think it would have gone even more smoothly if I'd distributed the lube better.
I did put some lube on the Progasm itself, but I think that sort of scraped off where it first met me — the better lubrication was what I'd deposited before I inserted the toy.
So once I got the Progasm in and seated, it was a very filling sort of feeling. As I gently worked different muscles, I could feel it moving inside me and touching me in ways I'd not felt before. I enjoyed the contact of the P-tab. The K-tab was more subtle, and I don't know yet whether it adds much for me, but it wasn't uncomfortable.
After insertion, i found I preferred to lie on my back. Sometimes with knees up, sometimes not. In addition to trying the squeezing motions recommended in the instructions, i also found that different thrusting motions, or other hip motions, caused interesting feelings.
I also tried reorienting the Progasm. It felt very interesting; I spun it 180 degrees a number of times during the hour I spent with the device inserted.
I felt building excitement several times while I went hands-free. But I did in fact have limited time, and while I didn't want to try to pressure myself to a hands-free orgasm, I didn't want the adventure to end without a bang. So as my time ended, I went ahead and used normal methods to finish off, and was rewarded with a larger than usual orgasm.
So there are a few things I will try to change for next time. First, the room I was in was just a little cold; I'll have it warmer next time. Second, I will have some extra pillows on hand so I can support my legs in various positions. Third, I will likely wait until I have a little more time; I'd like very much to achieve a hands-free.
But I'm going to call last night a success. I'm very new to anal play and had some trepidation. It turned out to be sensual and fun, and the ending was happy. The great advice and instructions I got here let me avoid potential problems )cleaning, lube, patience(.
So thanks, Aneros. I'll be back. :(
