Greetings
I just came here to share some of my progress and things i have picked up a long the way and changes which have helped me progress.
Reason for this day is a massive breakthrough has now been achieved, At the point of achieving super O's. I started like many not sure where to start other than checking out the wiki and reading the forums, I begun training my Anal muscles as described, Whilst also trying to begin awakening my prostate with the Aneros helix. I would have 1 session thinking i was on the right path but the next 10 nothing seems to be clicking.
I didn't get frustrated as i read a lot of posts saying some people progress at a slower rate, So i just continued the journey whilst not trying force sessions but also refrain from any other relief, This for me was one the biggest things i did where i noticed it started to show progress. Now the progress was slow but i now had a idea what i was looking/feeling for and what i could be trying on my next session to replicate how i got to the previous point. As time progress i would get little flashes of a feeling and then it was gone. So i started having sessions every 6 days that was like for me a mental note of "this is the time I'd set about to explore" Now after a session which would last between 1-3 hours depending but i started noticing aless 2 days after the session and when the 5th day had passed my prostate was buzzing and as mentioned on the wiki forums i was more excited when it came to exploration day.
Now a few months past and i thought ok, It's time to start mixing it up, I would try the Do-nothing method one session and then contractions on the following, For me the Do-nothing is where i finally started speeding up through the process. I also added audio stimulation into the mix. I would use Erotic audio stimulation with contractions then just relaxing music/beats and the do-nothing method and then switch it up on the next time. As this point i was also changing my positions, I tried all the suggested ones and kinda hit a block again as progress kinda stopped but was still having good sessions just knew there was more to discover. Now one day not sure why i did this but i started a session and decided i would try using a recliner chair and the bed. So i moved myself to the edge of the seat which allowed movement, Then rested my legs on the bed so was tilted at a angle similar to the fetal position in a chair. I started the breathing exercises and then all of a sudden the Aneros began doing magic, This was the first time i had a dry O, Now it wasn't instant it actually took around 1 hour to get to that stage but this was maybe the first time i was able to just hone in on all the feelings and muscle moving without me restricting anything, It was like i was completely relaxed and comfortable. Yet able to hold myself at a stage and then build up and then keep building from that.
This point i kinda said to myself I'm gonna skip the contraction sessions and keep the Do-nothing approach but keep alternating my positions from all the suggested. Now i kinda didn't get much feedback from the other positions right away and was using the chair/bed method i tried but then decided the laying on back with legs raised and feet flat was where i should be focusing, This went on for a few sessions. I then sprained my ankle at work a few days before i would normally have a session, Rather than skipping it i tried laying on the side. Progression once again happened in a major way, I laid down on my side doing the breathing technique and the Aneros just took off doing its own thing and i was doing my upmost to just breath and try not clench in any way. From this point i was using audio stimulation do nothing whilst laying on the side left+right was positive for me. Now i knew the direction i was heading, All the knowledge i had gathered from experimenting in various positions, audio, visual and keeping a schedule so my body was in a routine. Now the next thing i needed to get to was not allowing myself to clamp down and try force movement. I achieved this a few months later.. Now overall it took maybe a year a few months to get a understanding of how the Aneros worked for ME, This is what i did and how i progressed on my journey. Many dry O's later and decided it was time to experiment once again but this time it was the aneros itself. I purchase the Maximus and it fell flat, It was just way too large for me. A straight male with no anal experience other than the Aneros helix after a female friend gave me a prostate massage which begun this whole journey.
Ok so stumbled across the modification page on the wiki and seen the sanding method of making the aneros smoother for less friction, Well after much contemplation i decided to do just that. I started off on a 800 grit and progressed upto 7000. I sanded just the insert able stem and left all the rest as it comes from factory, I felt that i was happy with the anchor points being a little rough.
This was mind-blowing I'm not sure if this worked or its just a mental side of things but after this step it has been nothing but awesome each session since and today i finally had a super O or what i think is a super O, Full body orgasm and it just kept going, I could switch sides and onto the back and no matter what i did it just washed over me wave after wave, Massive trembling head to toe and pleasure shooting all over my body. I spent the last 4 hours in this crazy place i hope i can return to very soon.
I have never had a wet orgasm, zero fluid ever at any stage. I think at one point i needed some leakage to progress but that is not true, Don't get tied up on the little things
My take from this journey is just be patient and don't be afraid to experiment, For me using all the things above kinda brought me to this stage and i believe doing all this exploration and reading the wiki and the forums was invaluable.
Just like to say thanks to Aneros and the community sharing your vast amount of knowledge. I wasn't a believer when i first started but now i am convinced, Just have fun with it and don't allow it to frustrate you and any hurdles are there to be broken in time.
Thanks for the write up, it's great to read, many months of experiments condensed so well in a single text. Congratulations for trying a lot of different things and finding your own way.
I think that the plastic Aneros toys are a little rough from the factory, but it's understandable that they can't pay a guy to polish each one to a mirror finish. And as you discovered, spending a little time working on them can make a lot of difference. If you ever decide to polish another one, I suggest using some fine plastic polish from a good brand, that way you can stop hand sanding at 1000 grit and save a ton of time. The stuff sold for cleaning car headlights is great for this.
One important thing you wrote about and that I think is worth repeating is that once you get into super-o territory, the specific position or your actions don't matter that much, it just keeps going, so people shouldn't be afraid to "break things" or think that they will lose the feeling. Just do what feels good, at that point you earned it! Thank you for sharing your experience.
