New to Aneros-gctid4392

hi,

Welcome.

May I ask how tall you are? age? That will effect which aneros to use.

Take your time, took me 4 weeks to feel anything.

Hi I'm 33 and can I point out that I take an SSRI Celexa 20mg. As this drug has already numbed my sex life ie. penile sensation and arousal/desire. I've wondered has it also numbed the prostate ❓

Hmm, that SSRI can be a problem, if it really has numbed both your nerves and sex drive. I do not know whether it has a similar effect on the nerves the Aneros massagers aim for. 🙁 [EDIT: and even if it does, prostate massage with Aneros is a serious sensation, so unless the nerves are completely deadened, I'm sure you'll feel it. 🙂 ]

I wouldn't be so hasty to believe that the massager is missing your prostate, though - I started to have the same feeling until I had my first serious involuntary contractions and felt the Helix almost punching my prostate. The colon area is quite flexible, and as you contract (and receive involuntaries), the massager's pressure might shift considerably.

I'd recommend reading the "Getting Started" section of the Aneros Wiki. Try the contraction / breathing exercises, and see if you start feeling the types of arousal listed (seeping fluid is just one). The effects can be quite subtle at first. The two things I want to underline are:

1) Use adequate lube in adequate amounts.
2) Do not stress yourself, either with the contractions or otherwise. During the first sessions, you'll likely gain the most by relaxing the muscles around the massager and letting it shift by itself.

Glenzo,

I'm not sure if by SSRI you mean anti-deppressants. Ive been on a 20mg of przac-fluxotene for about 10years, it has taken care of the depression and constant sad feelings. I started the aneros last fall and it took a good 3 months to rewire. In fact I put it away for a month after christmas and gave it a rest and the first night back, had some nice involuntaries as a dosed off to sleep then woke up.

Since then I have used mainly the helix, sometime the msg and eupho. I get best results with the helix. No super 0 yet but some nice feelings. So nice i feel compelled to masturbate and can't end the session without it. Other times I can just end the seesion without manual masturbation.

I'm still a little confused over what type of contractions to do at what intervals and if the contractions are NECESSARY to take me to the next step.

One result of the aneros is I often wake up with a hard on like I did in my teens, that hasnt happened in 20+ years.

Good luck and patience to you.

Getting back to not getting anywhere after several sessions.

Now I don't feel anything but a bulge in my rectum, sometimes uncomfortable, not always as I usually use lube. Wet/Olive Oil/KY/Vaseline (usually Wet) Inserted about 5ml by syringe.

Now I started on the MGX and it just seemed to go right past my prostate when I lay there, squatted, sat or whatever so I ordered the Helix.

Now with the Helix I feel a little more just past the entrance to my bottom as my prostate seems to be just in there, hence the extra helix thickness as opposed to the ribs of MGX. (At least when I squat anyhow). Other than that nothing.

I've lay, relaxed and then contracted for a while but don't feel it hit my prostate until I take it out and it nudges it at the end.

Am I abnormal? My prostate seems to be just in maybe not even an inch. Diagrams show it's way up there where the end of the Aneros touches.

I've asked my girlfriend to feel in for it and massage which would definately clear up where it's location is. She's not comfortable doing this as I think she thinks she's putting her hand in waste even though I've told her nothing is there as long as you're regular and she could use a latex glove. I don't want to push her.

I did have a good wank the other day with it in me sitting down gripping it with my sphincter muscles. When I got near I jumped up and the feeling of the bulk pressing in me and being contracted gave me a pretty good orgasm and ample ejaculation.

Where am I going wrong?

Ps. I don't start out my sessions physically aroused as if lying there I was horny my old chap would be erect and likely to masturbate. Do I need to be more mentally aroused or what?

Any advice appreciated otherwise I'm left in a state of confusion, not to mention out a few Euros.

Uh, "usually use"? I trust that you apply lube to the massager and the rectal area? Since otherwise that sounds somewhat uncomfortable, from a personal point of view. 🙁

I think I'm starting to see the problem - I noticed a similar phenomenon after my latest session with the Helix. I feel a strong sensation of pressure - supposedly - on my prostate just as I'm pulling the largest part past the tight area near the sphincter, even though I felt it pressing harder when it was fully inserted during a contraction. I don't think the prostate itself is mobile, but I believe the dimensions of the rectal area where the massager moves can change considerably with the contractions, as I implied in the earlier post. Or it's very possible that the contractions drive the massager "sideways", allowing it to sort of flank the prostate.

And again, as I suggested in the last post, try relaxing both your body and the rectal muscles when you have the Aneros inserted. If you have gravity on your side, the massager should slip outwards, closer to the sensible area. It's important to know that before you start to get aroused from the massage, Aneros is unlikely to trigger anything if it's kept fully inserted, without the possibility to maneuver outwards as the surrounding muscles relax. This I can tell from my very first session, that botched in just about every way. 😳

If you have affordable healthcare available, I'd recommend a prostate exam. In one visit, you

1) could find out whether the characteristics of your prostate differ from the average and
2) also come to know if there are any abnormalities in the near rectal cavity that could have an effect.
3) Lastly, the physician might have the resources to review whether the prescribed SSRI has an effect on the relevant nerves.

Any lubes to recommend??

Any lubes to recommend??

There's plenty of personal preferences - mine's white vaseline, mostly because it appears to be very stable, as in doesn't irritate my skin. Also it's extremely long lasting, no fear of drying out during a session. Biggest drawback is aftermath, it's more difficult to clean from skin than water-based lubes. I usually wipe off gently what I can, then take a shower using mild, skin-friendly soap.

Hello Glenzo, 🙂

Here's the two really relevant lube threads in this forum that I can recall.

http://www.aneros.com/forum/unrefined-shea-butter-how-much-t3714.html

Also the Aneros WIKI has some good information about types of lubes.

My preference is unrefined 100% shea butter. Lube seems to be a highly individual thing as to what you like. So experiment with a few different kinds till you find what works for you.
