I don't know if this is catagorized as an official day-after effect, but the thing that's most noticable for me is that I seem to be attuned to a different frequency in my body. It's like that roller coaster feeling in your stomach, except sometimes its in your teeth or a foot or an arm. Mostly in the stomach though. Oh, and that guy that says 'don't forget your nipples'? He's so right. They are...

October 4th – 8th Decided this week that I needed to stop having sessions every day and hold off to every other day. On 10/4 I took a nice long hot bath. If you have never done this, it should be on your “to do” list. Only then will you ponder the thermal transference properties for this particular kind of plastic. On 10/8 I engaged in one of favorite pastimes – Using the Peridise while I sit in the...

October 2008 - October 3rd – Registered for the forum. Where I am today. Isn’t that just the question everyday? What is it that compels a man, in mid-life, to start making internet adult toy purchases? Compels a man to experiment with anal devices, become an expert on lubes, fish oil and various mid-extremity muscle groups? Comb a single forum, dedicated to men’s pleasure, for advice on orgasm, diet, binaural input, dopamine, spiritual guidance and addiction? What compels...

September 2008 – I purchase a 5 cc. lube applicator over the internet. The blunt end is perfect for anal use. I also purchase Maximus lube. The old lube I had contained glycerin – not pleasant. Got the go-ahead to purchase the Peredise Starter Set. Received and tried it right away – nice, but so far my preference and results are with the Helix. Mrs. J4 tried the Peredise when I was out of town with...

August 2008 – Kids go back to school mid month and I’m lucky enough to be a stay at home dad. The first week I get to have a session every day. This is fun and I have some good feelings. I’m also trying to figure out how to tell my wife. I’m pretty sure she’d be OK with it, and maybe even interested. So, typical me, I wait for a good time to have...

July 2008 – Thinking the Aneros product might be mainstream, I drive to a local Adult Toy Store. I guess it’s not mainstream. Nobody carries this product or has heard of it. Being a straight laced kind of middle America guy – there’s not a lot of places where main street meets anal stimulators. I haven’t talked to my wife about any of this. I pull the trigger and order it off the internet. ...

Background: Male, mid 40’s, married with children. June 2008 – While cruising a web site for couples, I read a couple of threads on tantric sex. One of the threads talks about prostate massage leading to great orgasms for men. A simple Google search on prostate massage leads to a variety of web sites – one of them is for Aneros. I read the forums and do some product research. My wife and I have a fun relationship,...
