I recently got the Aneros Helix Trident, towards the end of 2025, and have had some wild experiences with it! The toy is so profound, I actually completely freaked myself out with it to begin with.
So, when I first got it, I went straight into daily sessions with it, which lasted for about 45 mins to an hour, sometimes more. After doing some research, I found the method I would practice, would be the "do nothing" method, and to almost treat it like a mediation. Breathe deeply and be the watcher, feel the sensations around the Aneros toy inside, breath deep and slowly, in through the nose, deeply into the feelings felt around the toy, and out slowly through pursed lips. Don't CHASE anything (i.e. sexual feelings, orgasms), just feel, and if your mind wanders, bring it back to the feelings in the pelvis whilst breathing deeply. If you feel yourself getting exited, don't get caught up in it and chase any form of peak or release, just bring your mind back to the sensations, let go, over and over again, be the watcher.
Anyway, only two or three days into the practice, I was having these absolutely mind blowing sessions, my body was involuntarily convulsing profusely, like it had a mind of it's own, I was just "watching" it happen, I tried my hardest not to get caught up in it. So the part that freaked me out, about 5 days into the practice, I was sitting at my desk, working from home, scrolling Instagram, and saw a girl that got me going, I felt some movement downstairs, and decided to close my eyes and breath into it like in the practice, next second, I was having one of the full body orgasms, with no toy inside! During the moment, I absolutely loved it, but for some unknown reason, soon after, it absolutely freaked me the hell out, and I had this lingering anxiety over it for about a week or two later. Obviously during this time I didn't do another session, and I decided to have about two months away from it.
Well, a couples of weeks ago, I decided to get back into it, mindfully keeping the sessions short, with the intent to start small this time, and slowly add on top of it, to let my body and mind adjust properly. Any way, I did my first session, 5 minute timer set, put it in, started to breathe extremely deeply, in through the nose, deep into the pelvis, and slowly out through pursed lips, amazing feelings inside, but guess what, the anxiety came back. It was this moment, where I realized, that deep breathing is almost like a volume knob, that extremely intensifies the sessions. So I decided to go back into it, without the deep breathing, just laying there, eyes closed, watching and relaxing, with normal breathing, it was amazing, and wullah, no lingering anxiety. I am now up to 15 minute sessions, having absolutely amazing experiences, still have the body convulsions/full body sensations, but no lingering anxiety. I will slowly add more and more time to my sessions as I feel I am ready. But yes, back to loving it, and not pushing myself too hard.
I think I kind of freaked out about it, because it showed my this universe of profound energy, or sensations, I have never experienced before, and I was just not ready for it. I think I have always struggled with losing control over my body, hence why I have never been able to even enjoy weed, as it completely freaks me out. But this slow and steady approach, I believe is doing me well. I may add the deep breathing back into it further down the track. And although I am not doing the super deep breathing, I am still trying to relax and let go as much tension as possible, which I believe is a huge part in the full body orgasms occurring. I think you need to go into the sessions with no intentions of anything "sexual" happening, just focus on relaxing. May I add, I don't voluntary do any of the contractions, if you just put your complete focus on the feeling happening around the toy, your body starts doing the contractions itself, and the more in tune you are with being able to "feel" what's happening, the bigger they contractions become.
Thanks for your message. I completely agree with you. Far too much emphasis is placed on chasing orgasms, and all sorts of orgasms at that, when using Aneros. In practice, that doesn't really work. In my experience, simply "doing nothing" works best. Be aware of your Aneros inside you and be open to the sensations it brings. The rest will follow naturally.
