I thought I would share my first experiences and observations with the Aneros. They're positive!
I've experimented with anal play a bit in the past, but have never been completely satisfied with it. In the short span of a few days, the Aneros has changed my entire outlook on sexuality and linked together a number of unlikely experiences in my life that until now simply seemed odd or unexpected. I'll elaborate after first describing the past couple of days.
Based on recommendations I gleaned from this forum, I placed an order for the Helix. However, anticipation got the better of me while waiting the few days for it to arrive, so I looked up a local retailer and picked up the MGX to get some instant gratification, so to speak.
My first session was a learning experience to say the least. The MGX was comfortable, and acceptable to me given my limited past experiences. Following instructions and the advice I've been reading, I relaxed and began becoming familiar with the sensations of my new friend. I eventually began experimenting with some contractions, and it was not long before I noticed a strong yet intangible reaction when fully contracted. I could not identify anything particularly pleasurable inside, but the P-tab was definitely doing something for me. I have to agree that finding the "sweet spot" for the P-tab goes a long way in getting pleasure. (As an aside, I found the pressure from the MGX P-tab to be a bit severe, and ended up adding some cushion in the form of a soft cloth.)
I had noticed my body twitching slightly, and at first dismissed it, thinking maybe I was just a little cold or something. I soon learned that was not the case.
What happened next (maybe an hour later) really took me by surprise. The twitches had suddenly turned into violent, raging spasms with my arms, legs, and torso completely out of control. It wasn't like an orgasm though, as I wasn't particularly sensing any pleasure. It was just a raw, uncontrollable urge to convulse. I found myself becoming very vocal as well, with lots of deep guttural growling. I'm not sure I was completely conscious as it seemed I was no longer in control of my body; something animalistic had taken over.
I had to forcibly subdue myself as I was getting really fatigued. I experimented more with contractions, trying to see if any involuntaries might take over. They didn't, but I understood this is all about the rewiring process and I accepted that. I was still not experiencing anything that I perceived to be particularly pleasurable, with exception of the sensations from the P-tab. I did however have some strong emotional reactions, from laughing uncontrollably to almost wanting to cry for the sheer appreciation of being able to have this experience.
That first session lasted several hours and eventually I decided to try finishing off with a Super-T. To my slight disappointment, this was both difficult (because I didn't have a very strong erection) and not completely satisfying (the movement of the Aneros by the ejaculatory contractions were uncomfortable). However, it did satiate my desire to continue the session, and I called it quits for the time being.
It wasn't long though before I was ready to go at it again. My second session benefited from the experiences of the first, and it was during this session that I started to experience something that just barely felt like an orgasm. During the fits of spasms, I would occasionally tense up for longer and longer periods of time that I soon found to be undeniably, if almost imperceptibly, pleasurable. Having some erotic material to look at definitely helped. My body was still largely uncontrollable, and during the strong locked-up tension moments I felt I was starting to give myself a headache as I was forcing blood to rush into my neck, face and head. I decided to cool down and reflect on what was happening.
The sensations I was starting to experience, while not immediately identifiable, were nonetheless surprisingly familiar to me. I can recall a number of incidents in other, completely non-sexual contexts that in hindsight I now believe are related. To give just a couple of examples, when I was a young kid at the playground, I sometimes liked to climb poles (like fire poles or swing stands). Doing this, however, I found often gave me a strong tickling sensation in my groin area—but not centered on my penis. Sometimes it was so strong I would have to stop climbing. I didn't understand why it happened, and I didn't climb poles in pursuit of this feeling, but I remember asking my mother about it out of sheer curiosity (and not getting an answer). Today I would say climbing the poles had indirectly stimulated my young prostate.
Another experience I now cognitively link with prostate stimulation is when I finish urinating. I have noticed that when I clench to finish urinating, my body will sometimes shake involuntarily. It only happens very briefly (hopefully imperceptibly to anyone in the room with me at public urinals) but given my newfound understanding of the male anatomy I would say this is also due to prostate stimulation. The spasms I have experienced with the Aneros are much like an amplified version of this simple response.
On to my third session. By this time the Helix had arrived, so I decided to give it a whirl. It seemed to be even more comfortable than the MGX, especially the P-tab which was not exerting quite as much (painful) pressure, so a cloth was unnecessary. Using some erotic material as a catalyst, I found I was starting to get some intensely pleasurable results. I learned to control my body spasms so I could focus on the other sensations. To my delight, my sphincter muscles were beginning to make some involuntary contractions, giving me less need to focus on contracting them voluntarily.
What I've found is that the pleasure builds from deep within, and is not directly caused by the Aneros at all. Others here on the forum have said as much; the stimulation of the Aneros works to amplify and expand those feelings. The feelings to me are like those felt when just nearing an orgasm: a small concentration of pleasurable energy deep within. By focusing on that energy, I find that the Aneros is able to coax it into becoming slightly larger. Through a chain reaction, eventually the energy becomes overpowering, and feels to me very similar to a conventional orgasm. During my third session, I experienced wave after wave of this building and climax. The climax itself was often not the climax at all—it would continue to build into a new, even higher climax repeatedly until I felt exhausted and had to let the energy subside before it would start all over again. During the climaxes my body would convulse and tense involuntarily, but otherwise I tried as much as possible to limit or internalize my spasms. I was getting a workout, sweating, and thirsty! I kept several bottles of water nearby and drank from them often.
Breaking only for the occasional pee, I continued that session for hour after hour. I tried playing with a Fleshlight for a bit, only to find it wholly paled in comparison to the pleasure I was getting from the Aneros (and I found it difficult to hold an erection anyway—it seems my focus would rather be on what was going on inside). I tried to finish with a Super-T again, but still found the Aneros to be uncomfortable (almost painful) during ejaculation. Nonetheless, I was sated. What a marathon.
Today I'm finding I have several day-after effects. First is muscle soreness! My legs, abdomen, arms, and chest feel like I've finished a workout at the gym. But the more interesting effect is I am able to bring on body shakes just by looking at images I find erotic. These don't feel orgasmic in nature, but they are arousing and I could imagine they might lead somewhere very pleasurable; I might experiment combining this with traditional masturbation without the Aneros.
Finally I have to say the best day-after effect is a profound sense of well-being. I've found myself singing and dancing like I'm a new man—because I am. Wow. Thank you, Aneros.
Hi Robby-O and welcome to the Forum,
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. First of all you are an excellent writer and also because of your remarkable experiences. What you have been able to experience in 3 sessions took me about 6 months so congratulations and consider yourself a lucky man.
I look forward to hearing more as your journey continues.
Excellent and very descriptive post. It was as if you were relating my sensations. I find that if I have a session that lasts about an hour, take the Aneros out and have a short break and then try again the sensations are ramped up from there.
I wish I could experience some of what the OP is talking about in my own sessions 😥
Finding it harder and harder to fit aneros into my schedule.
Hi all,
Thanks for the welcome into this candid and thoughtful community.
I've already had some new experiences to relate—some positive, others perplexing.
In my first post I mentioned I might try combining my pleasurable day-after effects with traditional masturbation. I did, and the result was one of the strongest orgasms and ejaculation I've had in recent memory; it was quite enjoyable.
That was last night. Early this morning I woke up to involuntary spasms and arousal sensations, as though I were having an Aneros session—but I wasn't! The convulsions literally woke me up. Unfortunately, I was still tired and wasn't in the mood to go for a spin. But there was no stopping the movements and sensations. Frustrated, I got out of bed and started my day—tired, but at least consciously able to suspend what would otherwise have been a pleasurable experience.
It wasn't long before my tiredness caught up with me, and I decided to take a nap. I slept for maybe an hour, and awoke again to the same orgasmic teasing and uncontrollable body movements. This time I was a little less tired, and kind of enjoying the experience, and since I couldn't seem to stop them anyway I gave in to getting the Helix and going for a full session. I practiced some deep breathing, trying to calm my body as much as possible. I focused on bringing the pleasurable sensations into every part of my body, filling me up. By concentrating on keeping my body completely relaxed, I think this helped spur the involuntaries as the only remaining avenue of release for the mounting erotic tension; I don't think I induced any voluntary contractions at all.
I think this fourth session has been the most pleasurable overall. It also ended up being the shortest; maybe an hour or two. I was fairly aroused throughout the entire session, and kept an erection for most of it. I got so horny I had to go for the Super-T again, and this time it actually felt great. I have some theories on why my earlier attempts were so uncomfortable, having to do with the length of session and issues of lubrication.
So my problem now is that I can't seem to get any sleep. I got very tired and decided to call it an early night, but soon after crawling into bed the spasms and tensions started up again. I just wanted to sleep, but my body had other ideas. I found no way to calm myself, except to give in and masturbate with traditional ejaculation (without Aneros). That succeeded in getting me to sleep—for a few hours anyway.
I want to say the Aneros has so far been to me both a blessing and a curse. Not a curse in the sense that I'm addicted to it (although I admit I am hooked) but rather that it has provoked irreversible changes in my body that I haven't quite figured out how to control yet. And here I'm talking about controlling my body after the Aneros is removed! I don't quite know how to turn it off. I know for some people this might seem a welcome turn of events, but be careful what you wish for!
Has anyone else had a similar experience? How did you deal with it?
I'm not disappointed at all, but I would like to get some quality sleep time. Hopefully my body will adjust and learn to balance its newfound ability to induce pleasure with my competing needs.
Cheers.
Hi Robby-O,
You are experiencing an issue that has been dealt with before on the forum. Your body must be almost pre-wired for this and you got everything happening so fast and intense that you have not learned how to shut it down. I have never had the issue but I recall reading several threads from guys who were exactly like you. They were kind of scared as a matter of fact. These threads were quite some time ago and I don't have them handy to give you the link to. I am sure that they can be found using the search function or maybe someone else might be able to pull them up and provide a link for you.
Fear not, you have awakened something remarkable within yourself and you WILL be able to control it. You just have to figure out the shut off switch. You have as was referred to in your post as a "high quality" problem, but it is a problem that is adversely effecting you so you have to put some energy into. A guy has to sleep!
Good luck, I am sure you will figure it out.
Great post Robby-O!
Hope you get a handle on the sleeping problem. 😉
Hi Robby-O and welcome to the Aneros universe
As Buster and others have remarked here you have gone almost instantly to a level which takes most months, even years. Reddog_e350 has a couple of threads including "Freak of Nature" just below on the current Forum page 1, and he is similarly experiencing this extraordinarily steep experiential learning curve.
If you don't mind, could you tell us your age.
As your journey continues, the key issues of patience, timing, expectations and training wheels, will come into play. They are much discussed throughout the threads of this forum. You have had very long and intense sessions within hours of each other! One of the key parts of the rewiring process is timing and the general recommendations here, based on the experiences of many, is to give your body a day or two's rest between sessions.
Another I would recommend is NOT putting an aneros in when you are experiencing spontaneous day-after effects. I believe that these are a crucial part of the rewiring experience, even though people's experiences of these too are very widely varied, or non-existent. Your body needs time to develop and test itself without the aneros stim as it senses or strengthens these new priorities in its choice of neural pathways for erotic/orgasmic responses.
So much of what you have already accomplished is absolutely marvellous. Just slow down find a comfortable pace and you will sleep very well again. Space out your sessions and allow your system to reset and relax. Just as too many ejaculations too close together, while feeling extremely macho, are eventually enervating and exhausting, too many sessions too close together may be counter-productive in several respects.
One of your most significant reports/experiences, I believe, is your feeling the sensory and spatial distinction of the energy/energies "deep within". That perception/sensation is for me the defining key to this whole aneros training and the parallel/complementary training methods such as KSMO ( www.multiples.com ) Tantra, Tao, Kundalini Yoga and others cited here and elsewhere.
Aneros, as "Tantric training wheels", as expert BF Mayfield coined "long ago", means that, for many, we learn through using Aneros to rewire to consciously come to feel these generalized orgasmic energies, this life force, and learn to trigger, amplify and loosely direct these energies, completely separated from ejaculation, for your growth, spirit, and vast oceans of ecstatic pleasures and various forms and levels of learning. Age can also condition where one is focused in this phenomenological spectrum. My blog discusses my "career" as a prostate massager over the last nearly five decades. 🙄 http://www.aneros.com/displayblog.php?id=3544
Your rocket-like start reminds me of my mid-teens start eons ago and the astounding Intellectual Orgasms day-after effects that overwhelmed and so enriched me then. Everyone is different, so all this is just my reflections from my experience and reading so many others here. Thank you so much for your articulate and detailed posts. I look forward to many more from you.
all the best to you on your rapidly introduced journey

Buster, artform, all:
Thanks so much for your feedback and very valuable advice. This has been an incredibly joyful and amazing journey, and I appreciate the opportunity to share and learn from each of our experiences and understanding.
Something interesting happened last night that was completely non-sexual, and yet at least as energetic and satisfying as I've been experiencing lately. I decided to try some meditation (in bed) with the help of headphones and soothing audio. It was not long before I started to feel some tingling, mostly in my legs—not erotic at all but soothing and very relaxing. I was able to direct this tingling with my focused awareness into other parts of my body, and was soon feeling it all over.
Some other things also happened that I'm not sure I'm ready to talk about, as they are very personal. I'll just say that I think I made some significant spiritual progress and felt enveloped in loving guidance. As it relates to the tremendous feelings the Aneros is able to bring about however, I will also say I was exposed to a number of different energies of which the orgasmic energy seems to be just one in a vast spectrum.
I slept very well last night. 🙂
This morning I felt refreshed, but was also starting to feel the same urges as before. I was pretty charged up, so I experimented with having an Aneros-less session and, to my great amazement and satisfaction, achieved numerous body-shaking orgasms. I didn't feel the need to ejaculate, and finished the session instead on a great high. What a great way to start the day!
Right now I've got the same awesome feeling of well-being I had the day after my first Aneros exposure. I'm listening to music and it just seems to capture me and make me want to get up and dance. I love it.
Although I'm in my mid-thirties, I feel more like I could still be in my twenties.
I look forward to a lot more of this. I'm a very happy man.
Robby-
Regarding the spiritual 'side effects' of the aneros (a subject I am also very interested in), here is a recent thread that might be interesting to you:

WOW Robby-O!!!
Great reference Bishop!
In case you haven't come across Michael Winn's article The Quest for Spiritual Orgasm, which Pan first posted on here, here it is: http://www.healingtaobritain.com/p67magazinequestforspiritualorgasm.htm
I look forward to your further posts and chats, if you care to join the Open Chats here when they are available some weekends. We may also be able to get a Spiritual Orgasm themed Chat with Support some time.
all the best as your astounding journey continues

Seriously Robby, the more spiritual side of this is fascinating to many of us. I am very interested in tapping into more of that myself but you are on some kind of special mission that I am envious of.
Too bad you were not around for the "Full Moon Club" session last Monday night. Keep March 11, the next full moon, open.
For anyone interested in further following my journey, I've started a blog which continues where I left off at this entry.
Thanks again for all the input I've received. This is a great community of people.
It sure is. Ive been aware of aneros for 5 years and im 19. If it wasnt for the forums and all the info here I wouldnt own my helix. Its really changed me in better ways 🙂
