New User Progress and Success

Happy New Year!

Just a few observations from a new user and apologies that this is a jumble of thoughts, I find it hard to keep straight.

Background:

1) I've tried some solo anal play and enjoyed it - aware of the prostate but never much success stimulating it thoughtfully. Orgasms that were somehow more intense, but also slightly more numb if that makes sense, and disappointing

2) I decided to try Aneros after seeing videos of very satisfied users. Without any reading (a mistake) I went straight for a Progasm Ice - it seemed small compared to the toys I'd tried and bigger must be better, right? (I suspect not)

3) I've had 4 sessions, 3 quiet and 1 rushed, over the space of a few weeks. "Do nothing" has worked best for me, with some abstract music and a few changes of position. I also have very sensitive nipples so brushing and squeezing them gently is very pleasurable, but touching my penis is a definite distraction, as the wiki suggests

4) Deep breathing has made a difference - definite twitching as I bottom out each breath and during the period just after a burst of deep breaths

Results:
1) Generally the whole process (ceremony?) is enjoyable - I feel at the very least deeply relaxed and content. I'm not a person who's gone in for meditation or anything in any way, but attempting to focus on these sensations has changed a few things for me

2) Definitely felt tingles down the back of the legs / knees, and involuntary prostate twitching leaves me feeling slightly high. In the last session I had my first burst of twitching coupled with a couple of involuntary spasms and the aneros squeezing my prostate with feelings of intense pleasure. So surprise I jolted myself out of the mood a bit

3) I am far more aware of the feelings in my lower abdomen / prostate 24 hrs a day, in a good way. It genuinely feels like a switch has been turned on

4) This morning, aware of needing to go to the toilet, I started to get some flutters (no Aneros, just lying in bed). I decided to try to ride the sensations motionless but with *some* breath control. This resulted in flushes of pleasurable sensations and twitching and built to two powerful spasms where my whole abdomen was totally rigid and it knocked the breath out of me a bit. Not a noticeable amount of pleasure during the spasm, but certainly leading up to it and in the relaxation period just afterwards

This last is the most unexpected. I suppose pressure from a relatively full bladder / bowel may have played a part, but I'm left thinking what the result would have been with the same mood but "clean" and with a toy in place.

In the few spasms I've had with the toy, I can now feel a slightly "crampy" sensation when the Progasm is drawn right in (and the same if I try a series of clenches). This is on the border of discomfort, so I think I'm going to try with the smaller Helix, can't do any harm

This an extremely interesting process and thanks to all the wiki contributors and forum posters for their advice 🙂
