                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I purposely try not to over-analyze my arousals now. I find that lately, I will select an erotic "meditative" type of track (even binaural ones for prostate health and healing), lie-down with headphones and just experience the enticing sounds. This is probably what @rumel referred as a "Hypnagogic state". Where that leads me is entirely up to my body and my mind. Sometimes, things happen (like erotic chills and an erection), but sometimes they don't. And that is okay with me; I never try to "force" any kind of sexual response on myself. That will happen sometimes, and the feeling can be weak or extremely strong. If strong, those feeling can propel me right into an Aneros session. Other times, I will end the meditation, let the erection subside, and just move-on with the rest of my day. There is no set pattern here.
	
	With my practices of semen retention and male chastity, I have moved-beyond just "rubbing one out" when I feel like it. But there are occasions, particularly when nearing the "end" of an SR "run" that it just feels right. I do this not out of a sense of obligation, rather that is what feels "right" at the time. There is little time for analysis, I just do what I feel.
	
	If all this sounds rather vague, it probably is because IMO the prostate is a mysterious organ, an adept player in our sexual arousals (and particularly ejaculations) but seeming to have its own way when separately coerced to orgasm through a massage session.]]></content:encoded>

	Interesting, I guess the state I get in is a certain sort of hypnosis seeing as I change characters completely.  I hadn't thought of it that way before, but like I said it is very new for me.
	
	<blockquote> For too many men the paradigm shift in thinking away from the rigid stereotypical male role model of behavior is too difficult for them and thus they struggle or fail to achieve much success with Super-O's.
	</blockquote>
	
	Yes I believe you are right there, as you know way more about the subject than I do. You have been here much longer, and I personally didn't have to deal with these issues, having grown up fond of my feminine side and surrounded by hippies.  But I am seeing more and more through users posts that this is a serious roadblock, given the vulnerability and giving up of control that anal penetration implies, as well as the letting go required to attain orgasmic states.]]></content:encoded>

	Well yes, with an open minded person that would be good. That is what I ment with saying that you were lucky. You seem to hang with a cool open minded crowd.
	If not it would be kinda hard to defend that you mean it in a good way but even than not impossible to do.
	
	That video you mention I actually have bookmarked. If you are sensitive to sound and like ASMR it is very good.]]></content:encoded>

	@tommygun I agree with you on the distraction of pornography. The only "porn" video that I have found that I enjoy with aneros is an ASMR video of two women kissing sensually for 8 minutes that I use primarily for the audio.  I sometimes put it on on loop in the background with headphones for the ASMR bit to have its full effect, but I hardly pay attention to the visual aspect, as my eyes tend to go bonkers during sessions. It is searchable on pornhub as "asmr lesbians tongue kissing". I highly recommend it. With good headphones it feels as if you are getting your ears licked :)]]></content:encoded>

I recently bought a dress, a vintage pink dress with flowers on it. When I put that dress on I become a different person.</blockquote>This is actually a self hypnosis suggestion. I would theorize this action of cross dressing is the trigger for an attitudinal shift into the optimal mind state for you. So congratulations for discovering this for yourself. While this action (cross dressing) may have many more implications about the action of your psyche and subconscious desires, I think its great you've discovered its value in getting to the Super-O zoneros.
	
	For too many men the paradigm shift in thinking away from the rigid stereotypical male role model of behavior is too difficult for them and thus they struggle or fail to achieve much success with Super-O's.
	<blockquote>I don't think that I'm man enough to pull off wearing a dress.</blockquote>Are you man enough to wear a kilt? <img class="go2wpf-bbcode" src="https://i.imgur.com/6ty60l4.gif">
	<blockquote>Another way to reach optimal mind state is to let it build itself over time. I believe your mind can do it all by itself.</blockquote>This is essentially what all of us actually do. <i><span style="color:purple;">"All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
