I am finding myself at odds with my Helix and needed a bit of advice before I throw the towel in.
I'd like to preface this by saying I have looked through a good amount of posts, used the search function, and watched videos to no avail. I have also kept a very open mind about this and to completely surrender to this unit and any feelings it might bring.
That said, I have spent quite a few days, for HOURS at a time with the Helix. I have done it with some alone/quiet time. I have done it doing a little house work. I have taken a shower with it. I have sat in front of my computer for hours watching porn in hopes of conjuring up SOMETHING, carefully making sure I don't miss any brief moments of pleasure. There was none. The only sensation I felt was an overwhelming need to empty my bowels. I want to say that it's not from a lack of trying. I REALLY wanted to experience the convulsive orgasms some of the guys on video were experiencing.
I'm sure it's a matter of finding that ONE thing that will make that light come on. I just don't know what it is. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, how far is the Helix (or any other unit, for that matter) supposed to go in? The Helix just stops at the second notch (out of three) and won't go in any further without discomfort. I assume that third and last notch is there for a reason, but I can't accommodate that. Is this an indication the Helix may be too long for me? I didn't see anything in the instructions on this.
Thanks again for any advice you guys can give.
aneros_user44271,
It is a while since I have read the Aneros Wiki and if you haven't yet done so, may I recommend that you do so, from end to end. I would particularly suggest you read the Newbies Checklist contained within the Wiki. (Just click on the Wiki button at the top of this page).
Try not to put pressure on yourself. Just make sure that the your rectum and the device are well lubricated, insert your Helix and lie down and relax for an hour or so. By all means experiment by lying on one side, on your back and on the other side, even your stomach if that allows you to relax fully, but just try not to WILL something to happen. It eventually will happen, but most likely when you least expect it. It is usually the case that results will more likely occur if you have some sexual tension going on, so try to limit your practice sessions to two or three a week. I find also that if I have not ejaculated for some days, that also helps.
Above all, don't give up. Just remember that Aneros practice is almost certainly not going to do you any harm and that the practice is probably going to keep your prostate healthy, so there is another good reason to keep going!
Good luck,
Pommie
