Just tried the Aneros for the very first time. Few concerns

I wouldn't be too worried now but you should never see blood during a session. Also, one rule for Aneros is that once inserted, HANDS OFF! The P-tab will find it's place in time and may even be pulled tighter against it. You can make sure that it is centered over your perineum and then make a minor adjustment if needed but after that, do not attempt any manual stim of your prostate! That function is entirely the reason the Aneros' are designed as they are. Only your anal contractions are needed for proper stim. You may want to 'experiment' with different lube(s): water, oil, silicone. Go slow and you should make progress. Good luck!

Carefully read the Wiki, it's full of great info. The Aneros shouldn't harm you, especially if you don't mess with it while it's inserted. It's fine to occasionally adjust the p tab toward your sweet spot, but not at all necessary.

You need to find the origin of the blood. If you don't have hemorrhoids(internal or external) then it might be time stop putting anything up there and see a doctor.

so what would likely happen if one were to manually stimulate the prostate with hands while the aneros is inserted? would it cause any damage to the prostate? the reason why i was pushing it in more was because i wasn't sure if the aneros was in all the way because i didn't feel the p-tab touching the perineum. And when you say "The P-tab will find it's place in time and may even be pulled tighter against it. " Does that mean if I insert it in most of the way but not all the way, the p-tab will automatically get pulled in closer to my perineum without needing to use my hands?

I forgot to mention in my post that I only saw a little bit of blood the first time. The second time, i didn't see any blood. So maybe its because I didn't use enough olive oil the first time.

Yes, you are correct. The P-tab will press tighter as the Aneros is 'pulled-in'. You need not worry about the positioning My original post suggests 'Hands Off" and that is always true! DO NOT manually stimulate your prostate! I have not tried olive oil. Lubes I have used include: ID Glide, Sliquid gel, Slippery Stuff gel, Boy Butter, Wet Platinum. My go-to for classic Aneros is Boy Butter. For me it is long-lasting and does not dry out.
