I started my journey in 2017 after stumbling across this forum and have been a long time lurker ever since. At the beginning of the road, I fell into all the newbie traps, and it took me a long time to get myself out of the typical masturbation mindset of racing to the finish line. I’d probably have given up, save for two nocturnal experiences - both of them came after only a few weeks of experimenting - in which I had mind blowing, full body, a-less orgasms after waking in the night. After happening twice, this never occurred again, but they served the purpose of proving to me that this was real, and possible. I haven’t used an Aneros device for at least two years now, what follows is all A-less.
On 15th February this year, something momentous finally happened. I’d taken a small, single inhale from a Sativa vape pen. I was feeling horny, had been watching porn, and I could feel a tingling sensation at the base of my scrotum. It felt nice. I paid attention to it and just enjoyed it. It gradually grew, until it reached a point where it was an identical sensation to the one I’d get from stroking the tip of my penis. It felt so good that I didn’t want to do anything, just stay in the moment and enjoy this pleasure. It got better and better. I focused my breathing, imagining I was breathing all the way down to the bottom of my scrotum. I could feel the muscles around it, tightening with the movements of my breathing. Before long, with every deep inhale, I felt like I was squeezing out cum. I kept it going for over half an hour, the entire time feeling that I was in that particular spot, usually so brief and fleeting, that feeling of ejaculating, but continuous. It was then that I realised, I wasn’t building to an orgasm - I was in an orgasm. A switch just flipped and the lightbulb came on. Orgasm is a state, not an event. And entering that state without touching myself allows me to stay there. For as long as I can bear it.
I’ve continued since then, exploring this state. At first, I carried on taking a very small amount of the vape, but gradually, I came to discover that my body, and my mind, were learning how to do this of their own accord. It was like I was making mental connections, discovering paths - while under the mild influence of the weed. For the past week I’ve been doing it without the weed, with the same results. Every time a bit better than the last.
Yesterday was a milestone. I managed to maintain this orgasmic state for three hours, and by the end, I felt so elated, so happy, so content, that I felt no need to finish off with a traditional orgasm.
All of this has been amazing, but more amazing still is the effect it’s had outside of my sessions. At any time, no matter what I’m doing, I can gently direct my attention and focus to that sweet spot, underneath my balls. As soon as I do, I feel the first gentle tingles of that sensation. And that’s enough to make me feel calm, content, and engaged in the present. It slows my breathing, it clears my mind. And it’s been amazing. Having something that I can do so easily to relieve any stress or anxiety. I have noticed a sudden increase in focus and productivity. It feels like the passage of time has slowed, and there’s a calmness to everything. My insomnia has disappeared, I sleep soundly and wake refreshed. Whatever i’m doing - work, reading, chores, watching something, conversing with a friend, I’m immersed on a level I never was before. I’m getting so much more out of my life in tiny little ways that add up to something wonderful.
I had to share this for anybody that’s new, or frustrated. It takes time, but learning to listen to your body and enjoying sensations for what they are will lead you here, and it will change your life. I can’t thank all of the people on this forum who post their ideas, experiences and suggestions.
