Flotation chamber?

This could have promise. I’ve had nice sessions in the bath and jacuzzi.

...local flotation/zero gravity company. Their stated benefits among others are total relaxation and euphoria! Anyone here ever try something like that? I want to give it a shot! Only question is which device do I smuggle in in my ass?

I've always wanted to try out a sensory deprivation float tank. Considering all the distractions that can make obtaining prostate orgasms possible, techniques which can decrease or eliminate some of those distractions might be a great way for men to learn and progress. Floating in an absolutely dark, quiet, warm, womb like environment could really allow you to focus on all the sensual signals an Aneros in situ would provide.

As far as devices go I think any models other than the Vice2 or the Helix SYN V would work well. If you decide to do it please report back to us on your experience.

Good Vibes to You!

Scheduled for Monday afternoon. I'm thinking the trusty EST will be the one but there something to be said for the Peridise too...

That's super cool! Hamilton Moriss did a piece on trying different models of tanks, if I remember correctly, he experienced complete loss of the sense of time. I'm sure this is going to be great! Also, I vote Eupho.

I've settled on the non-syn Eupho Trident because they have Vaseline on site for minor cuts. Saves me from transporting lube.

@reddog152 

I never thought about cuts, I guess with the 6 pounds of salt per gallon, it would kind of sting a bit! Do you need to wear swimwear in the tank?

 Is there anybody else who thinks this could be a bad idea? Having a possible super o, in a deprevity tank, could be catastrophic. Especially if theres know one there who knows whats going on. On top being the first time one has ever tried a deprivation chamber. Not trying too poopoo on the parade, but this could be dangerous. The tank can be a very spiritual exp. I do wish you the best, cause the potential could be awesome.

@zentai, nope nekkid.

I'm kinda curious about that myself. I generally can't yet achieve a Super-O without THC and I won't be using that in there so I'm just looking to see if the relaxation will spark something. Nobody can see in the pod so there's no risk of being seen to be convulsing or anything like that. I'm hoping to coax a calm seas from the calm sea.

Well...

I think most everything could be / can be a bad idea with Super-Os if things "go wrong just right", see my Kundalini thread, threads about THC, Ego death, etc. 

I didn't think you could drown in a floatation tank, unless you're facing down, but the Internet tells me 4 people drowned in tanks since they exist (1950's I think?)

In 2018, this man : Biotech engineer found dead in sensory deprivation tank in D.C. - The Washington Post

Also in 2018 :  Family of woman who died in stress-relieving flotation pod sues business (ems1.com)

It seems drugs were involved or suspected in the first 3 cases, but I'm going from what I read and did not research further. I have passed out during S-O sessions, but apparently people sleep in those tanks all the time. Of course, sleep and unconsciousness are not the same thing, and you would not simply wake up if something was to happen. 

The possibility of freaking out or having a panic attack would be much more concerning. I have no idea if the sensory deprivation would increase the chance/risk of having some kind of mystical experience or propound spiritual reaction. In the context of being into a deeply relaxing setting, I don't see a huge risk of going into crazy rough seas stuff which I associate with unsettling experiences. Still, there are such things as "life changing" S-O experiences, even if they are good ones. 

@tbob what do you have in mind when thinking about "catastrophic" outcomes ? 

Posted by: @reddog152

@zentai, nope nekkid.

That's kind of cool as it's the only way you could be on your back in a completely natural position with nothing acting against the toy.

This makes sense! Hope it works out for you. 

@zentai  Maybe a bad choice of words, although death may not be frequent, panic and anxiety attics are quite common. Not sure using aneros on your first time in one is a good idea, theres the what if it does trigger a k episode? That would be catastrophic.

I agree, maybe for the first time, going in without a device would be more prudent. On the other hand, if you can do Aless it becomes kind of moot as you could trigger a Super-O anyway from the relaxed state, then the floatation tank could be a potentially bad idea anyway. Altered states + Aless are kind of a scary proposition if you don't have full control on the altered state.   

As for a Kundalini episode, I do not know a whole lot about the triggers, outside of what I experienced myself and what people told me. For sure you would not want this to happen in an unfamiliar, enclosed space, it would make everything even worse. Honestly, if you're going to experience wacky stuff, your bed is the only truly safe space in my opinion, you can always sleep it off and hope it's better in the morning... A K episode in a float tank (or anywhere semi-public) would probably be terrifying and end up with an ambulance call.

The question here is whether or not the isolation tank is more likely to trigger unwanted effects than some of the other things we do to reach S-Os, for example, does it go much further than a deep hypnotic trance in a dark room?  I don't know how powerful the sensory deprivation effect is by itself, and how it would interact with the orgasmic feelings. I really do not have the answer to this one. 

Given the warnings I might just go into the first float without trying to trigger a prostate orgasm. I may be underestimating the novelty of the whole experience and could conceivably be overwhelmed by the solitude. Either way I'll report back on the experience. Looking forward to it! I plan to have a session Monday morning anyway so I don't need to overdo it.

I respectfully disagree that this experience is in anyway dangerous. Flotation tanks have been in use for many years and people have experienced many adventures during their times in those tanks. While there are some potential side effects from this experience, if you are aware of them this should pose no danger to having a unique experience. My intuition tells me concerns about producing kundalini awakening syndrome may be overstated. I think you are no more likely to induce this syndrome using your Aneros device in a float tank than you would be without it. Is there any risk? Of course there is a risk, as in any activity there is a measure of risk but life is full of risks, mostly minor ones and some major ones but you get to evaluate and choose the risks versus the benefits of your activities.

As in embarking on any new activity, it is wise to do due diligence in researching potential risks and then taking measures to minimize those risks while gaining all the potential benefits.

I would love to see a study testing the hypothesis that flotation tanks use enhances the likelihood of inducing Super-O experiences.

Good Vibes to You!

I don’t think it’d be dangerous unless you super o so hard you black out,drown and die.

Really minimal risk of drowning since the water is so full of Epson salt, pretty much floating on top.

I think we more-or-less agree here, I don't see a huge red flag telling me it's inherently dangerous to have Super-Os in a floatation tank.  It would probably be a fun experience. It could also be overwhelming. It does not have to involve a kundalini-something to be kind of a bad trip. One thing I observed from trying sessions in the bathtub is how loud my heartbeat gets when my head is underwater, this could be kind of freaky in a closed space with real sound insulation. It will be another individual thing and there's little way to know what will happen until you try.

I think that for me, it would have to be my own tank at home, with no time constraint, and I would probably consider starting with the tank open, so I could ease into things gradually. I'm not sure I would be chasing Os right at the beginning.
