Adjusting to a more sane routine

So my journey is just a little over a week old, and already I have had incredible, previously unknown experiences. I definitely see this journey lasting the rest of my life, and transforming and aiding many life experiences as well as my orgasmic life.

Congratulations on the opening to enlightenment and blissful contentedness, you have indeed embarked on a potentially transformative path.

Obviously, it also has its challenges. This week it has almost entirely taken over my life. Between reading the forums, writing on the forum, having Aneros experiences, and experiencing Aless almost all day long, I can hardly think about anything else. ... Anybody else have this kind of experience, especially right at the beginning?

Yeah, I too have been there, I liken it to an infatuation period with a new lover but like any infatuation there is a chance for it to morph into an obsession and/or addiction as I noted in my introductory PM to you. You may wish to check out some of the other Psychological ramifications of Aneros use in the Aneros WIKI.

How did you make adjustments?

Having to work for a living certainly established some formal time boundaries, plus having to do normal household chores also contributed to containing my early infatuation. My infatuation was also coupled to my curiosity as to the why's and how's of this new experience which led me to start investigating peripheral topics related to sexuality. While I did indulge myself early on, as I continued to educate myself I began to absorb the wisdom of some of the veterans here which gave me pause to think about how I wanted to integrate this practice into my life going forward and not let it become a controlling addiction but rather have it become a very enjoyable healthy addition to my lifestyle. I guess it comes down to getting your Id and your Ego to play nicely together, each to play their part at the appropriate time.
Good Vibes to You !

I over did it my first week or two. I had nausea, headaches, tenderness, and tried to ride daily some times multiple times a day. It affected work and sleep. I had not done enough reading.

After a few weeks I got over the intoxicating infatuation stage and settled in for a journey at a more reasonable pace for me. I also read interesting threads on the forum and scoured the wiki (rereading multiple times).

It sounds like you are seeing this, and concerned about this infatuation. You might try taking the foot off the gas a bit, and give yourself a chance to recover. Like you I too had a GREAT start - the first three months were orgasmic, spiritual bliss... I was convinced I’d never need a women again. Shortly after that followed a lackluster, flat 9 months (I think I was trying too hard to repeat the early experiences).

A year later and I’m now in a better state of mind and things are working better than during the drought. Best of luck too you.

@HereByAccident@rumel Thank you so much, Gentlemen, for your generous and very helpful responses. Very encouraging and instructive.
