Thanks for the reply some things to think about there for certain, however i must explain a few things so it doesn't appear that I'm some sort of 'negative nancy'
I am actually a positive person, with a positive outlook on life, i followed Mr. Mayfeilds advice/threads to the letter and others as well here for 3 years, i think that any human being after this period would feel a little bit wary as to the devices function. Now i never said it was a scam, and I'm not accusing others of lying or being 'plants' for the company, but as i said after 3 years of confusion and getting nowhere at all, it does form seeds of doubt in the mind.
Those night orgasms i mentioned, i thought those were normal for every man (not the actual act of it happening but rather the orgasms thats experienced which i can tell you are mind-blowing!) its the reason i started with the aneros in the first place, because i thought i had experienced several Super-O's before even knowing what one was. Its something I've recently discovered that i appear to be alone in these intense orgasms that I'm experiencing from 'wet dreams', if this is what a super O is then i am very jealous for those that can have them at will, its so powerful i remember each one I've had, over many years.
As i say again, 3 years on and no progress, again it creates seeds of doubt, even in the most optimistic, positive and open minded people. Please understand that i still have some faith, but it is wearing thin.
The diagram i posted, is this accurate? most diagrams I've seen of the male anatomy seems to show the prostate being MUCH smaller, it confused my perception of whats going on in there and slightly annoyed me that the aneros apparently is in contact with prostate in a big and obvious way yet it feels like its hitting nothing but anal cavity!
This then led me to think about why there are so many models? why not just one, and possibly a smaller one for smaller statured men, if all males are the same/similar? (i appreciate its in the aneros business model to have lots of different devices, to make money -thats cool with me) it does though, to its detriment look as though there is a specific device for a certain kind of person (hence my purchase of the sgx, for the asian market i.e. smaller men, the latter being what i am!)
Do you see what I'm getting at? I will keep trying, I'm a believer but i am just loosing a lot of faith when others make it so much faster, i would just be happy with 1% progress each time but at the moment its nowhere and nothing. But that isn't to say i don't enjoy using the device, i do! and i will continue... i just need more ideas for positions, things that other have tried that worked, anything!!
also @twlltin i get that itch often, and think its something bad? i even once thought it was causing something akin to prostatitus or somesuch! thats very interesting!
i think the aneros needs WAY more instructional use, especially in the packaging. it doesn't state anywhere on the older models about misuse of it, only on these forums it seems to state it! if misused it can cause sever issues such as prostatitus and tearing etc, that to me is a dangerous thing. Needs a warning sticker on there somewhere or something.
@inhope well they do have a warning on this website. see here https://community.aneros.com/disclaimer/
Put simply they do not recommend its use or misuse.
Here it is, use it or dont, its up to you!
thats cool! though it states it on the website not on the packaging over here in the UK such a thing on any other device would warrant a ban or a repackaging, but its sold over here and it doesn't!
doesn't having the above disclaimer say something to you? to me it sounds like its possible it could cause issues? but either way its not aneros manufacturers fault or responsibility! What other device or product has THAT as a disclaimer? I'm confused by this actually!
I'm a long time user too inhope, maybe just a little longer and haven't hit Super O either. That said I still believe it will one day happen, I've been very very close on occasion. Even the pleasure you do get is progress however. The key I have found is being open and clear minded, if I'm distracted then its a write-off. Hope it works out for you
thanks cj, the thing is the pleasure i feel isn't in that prostate area, its why i feel or am starting to think i don't have one haha! i don't feel a build up or any point of contact with anything in there... am i supposed to? what do i look for exactly?? what am i supposed to feel? it feels like its not doing anything other than these little micro movemnts which feel nice in tems of anal pleasure but not of prostate contact.
I can't seem to make even a little progress, and thats my frustration now
@inhope If you get in a car, Is it the car manufactures fault if you crash it? Do they recommend it is good for u and will not harm u? Same thing really. life is a risk life always bring the risk of death.America where`aneros is made has laws where you can suw for anything and any reason. It is little wonder that the disclaim for any and every reason.
@inhope this might be a very radical idea but, you might find visiting a therapist for a professional prostate massage helpful. At least then you'll know what kind of sensations etc you're aiming for/what you should be feeling etc, with someone who knows what they're doing.
I guess sometimes using these aneros things can be like taking a shot in the dark. Just an idea...
hywel - that sounds a good idea.
I have read some of your posts inhope, and I know that you think you are a positive person. Actually if I may, I would like to reclassify you as DRIVEN rather than positive, I say this for a variety of reasons, but perhaps the biggest is that you appear to think you can get a super-orgasm, especially if you follow the instructions "to the letter", and that simply wanting it, is enough. Your ego is acting against your progress.
Rumel mentioned this is a personal journey - one person's "instructions" cannot therefore be relied upon to give you your own personal pathway. It is actually about listening to your body - something that you don't appear to have done, because you have dismissed the sensations you have had, as not good enough, or at worst irrelevant. It is precisely these sensations that you need to focus on and enjoy, no matter how small. You cannot expect them to grow and develop into a super-O unless you do this. These sensations are the first glimmering of the gifts that the aneros can bestow. Dismissing them almost feels like an arrogance - hence "driven" rather than "positive". Actually upon reflection you attitude seems quite negative.
This is not like setting your sights on a new expensive car and saying I am going to get one of them, by hook or by crook. It is almost the antithesis of this, which is why many successful aneros users find it a sometimes spiritual experience.
That being said, I wish you all the best in your personal journey, but an attitude change will be essential for any success.
@ Linum you may be right in some areas but there is one thing that everyone seems to forget even though its been mentioned and its why I'm starting to NOT be a positive person, at least not where the aneros is concerned.
What i refer to is 'dismissing the sensations i have felt' -no i have not, not at all. The sensations i feel are ok, nothing to rave about and i realise its a progression FROM there but the problem is since getting to this level, there has been no increase in them or change in them since having them, which let me tell you is a LONG time.. In actual fact it is exhausting, i felt knakered after each session down there using it, when i tense the muscles for a long while and feel the blood rush back into them its not really that pleasant and i feel tired for the rest of the day after just a 45 mins session!
It makes life difficult when all i get is exhaustion (not not from trying too hard, just using it normally, not over exertion, believe me!)
THAT is my frustration, the fact that a normal session of sex is massively less exhaustive that using one of these makes me, i cant figure out why it takes all my energy, but it does! i know there are others here that feel the same way and have the same thing happen too, there is one guy here trying for six [six!!!] years and not getting anywhere! The most positive of people could not remain positive or have faith in these things for such a lengthly time without even 1% success? I'm getting weary after just 3!
@inhope. I have bought the Aneros Syn some 3 months ago. I guess since then I have had some 10 sessions with the SYN. After having read quite a few comments here I got started. Relax, contractions etc. It was nice but nothing special I thought. And as you say especially using contractions is a bit exhausting.
Then through xtube I got across a video by myvidfun using the aneros. I asked him for some advice because I liked the way he enjoyes the syn in the video (45 minutes very quiet, and no spastic movements). Since then I do hardly use contractions anymore to enjoy the SYN. Because that is I believe the real secret. Relax en concentrate on every small bit that you feel down there. The slightest movement, tingling etc. I do not think I have experienced a super-o. But I really do enjoy the sessions now much more. Sometimes for 2 hours, like meditation. If your concentration goes away and you feel less horny, you can watch porn on the internet. I find it really amazing how the SYN works in that situation (without doing much myself).
Since using the syn I have another nice experience in that I am even during day time much more thinking about my prostate. When I relax and breath in that part of my body I get a hard on, can feel my prostate moving and working.... without the syn inside... a nice side effect. A bit tantric in a way.
@inhope: perhaps it's just time to call it a day?
I find my sessions very relaxing, even when they have been very dynamic. Rumel's idea of erotic meditation fits well with how I feel about it, and I come out of the session more energetic, focussed, and with a sense of fulfilment. Even dud sessions (they do happen) are relaxing because of the meditation element.
I have learnt not to expect or even hope (inhope) for anything, and be happy with wherever the experience takes me. Bizarrely enough, by taking this approach my experiences have become more heightened as I focussed on the sensations - it is as if my cognition of them ultimately makes me more sensitive to them - the sensations may not be any stronger, but stronger is how I now perceive them.
It has taken me about 3 years to get to this point. About a year and a half in, I realised I'd been having dry orgasms for some time, so it isn't even that one isn't having them, just that we don't always perceive them as such.
I agree @Linum I feel it is like meditation too. On the weekend my wife went to sleep on the couch in the afternoon and I went to the bedroom and although I could of slept I had a session with helix.I felt refreshed after 3 hours. I do not force contractions I just lay there and the contractions come to me by themselves and pritty soon there is a magical land of pleasure down there.
I would have to say that over all I am disappointed so far with the term (super O) but I still let go and expect nothing and the pleasure starts to flow. A good session is intoxicating and I long for those sessions and as time goes by, on the whole it just keeps getting better slowly.
@inhope I dont know why you feel nothing maybe you are just trying to hard. It must be infuriating listening to everyone else with no success yourself.
Maybe its like driving a truck some people can just do it, other just cant no matter how hard they try.
It took me a long time to get anyware but I had nothing better to do at the time and after getting just a little sucsess I built on that by "doing nothing". It was a very hard concept to grasp but none the less it was the key!
@inhope Start listening to your body and not to the piece of plastic you have shoved up your butt. Your prostate is at the core of all of this but your toes, nipples, belly button, or whatever does it for you, are just as important. In fact it's more to do with the chemical reactions going on in your noodle than the walnut of delight up your ass. Endorphin and adrenaline rushes etc. Don't quote me on that though.
There are many other sensual joys in life to experience. Perhaps you might like to take a break from your aneros for a while and really get into those.
@inhope, your words
>
It may not be over helpful but I spend most of my session time trying not to tense my muscles, just as it is beginning to feel it might be going somewhere I notice it is blocked by some automatic response muscular tightening. Perhaps you are forcing the issue as you say "I tense the muscles for a long while...." Yep for some this seems to work but of others it seems to be necessary to back off.
All this said, have been using A for 13 months. Nothing great but I go back for more. I feel if I could really surrender it would go really good. I believe I am letting go more and more.
@isvara I left out some info there, thats my fault let me clarify: yes tensing/muscle strain and blood rushing back isn't pleasant but the micro movements and other feelings are! its just I've got to put some effort in to feel anything at all, i would be willing to take my time etc normally but its been 3 years and no progress, my body seems more impatient than me!
I have also found my muscles are twitching throughout normal daily business, which is somehow nice too (with no aneros present)
I have found something that has taken my journey to another level, it's called "Holosync, Awakening Prologue" a form of meditation/recording using binaural beats hidden behind the sounds of gentle rain with some chimes. The nice part is it doesn't require any concentration or focus, just put on your headphones or ear buds and listen...amazing is an understatement, I thought I was getting good at relaxing and letting go, but this has taken me to another world. I start to have POWERFUL orgasms within minutes of listening, and they just keep on coming; I can feel my Helix, Tempo or Eupho like never before, it's like the sensations are magnified and I'm super sensitive. It truly is incredible! I'm even able to have orgasms only by lightly touching my nipples or placing my index finger at the base of my penis (belly side) and still feel the anal/prostate sensations. It's like stacking orgasms.
I've read a number of posts from users who are having trouble feeling the joy, and it may be that your just trying to hard; this program will get you REALLY relaxed and in tune with your body. I thought I was getting good at the "do nothing" approach but this program showed me how much tension I was holding, now I'm truly relaxing and what a difference! If you're looking to SUPERCHARGE your Aneros sessions, this might be the answer. The program has a number of other positive uses, but the Aneros benefits were worth the price of admission.
The program comes from a company called Centerpointe Research and is pricey, but you can find used copies on Amazon or eBay.
@Bobandy - Interesting! I wonder how this compares to the other binaural beat recordings that other users here have been using?
@Bobandy for you consideration... 🙂 https://community.aneros.com/forum/discussion/14241/the-erotic-audio-challenge#Item_35
@braveneworld Thanks for the info, actually I have listened to all the recordings(my favorite being "La Petite Mort") and this is what got me interested in the binaural sounds.
