Off for months, back into action!

When I read your post I think you did a lot of things 'right'. You listened to your body and felt actual arousal that came from your body to you and not the other way around. I think the reason men practise semen retention is to get into contact with this arousal if not for other reasons.
You also went into it without expectation with a ' why the hell not' attitude.

What you describe sounds a lot like a full body/ energy orgasm to me or at least your energy got spread out as opposed to a more localised feeling of pleasure. Feeling like being on a rollercoaster and getting scared a bit sound familiar to me. I think it's logical for your brain to detect this is a danger because it is new. This will become less so eventually.
Whether something is an orgasm or not is hard to define, and actually not that important. They can vary in intensity and form. Like a mild one can feel like just a breeze or a wave, a rush, a moan on the out breath. Larger ones can be beyond description.

It might be good to know that multiple orgasms in whatever form they may come are rarely a linear ramp up although they can be. More often than not you can feel yourself coming down. The most logical response is to want to return to pleasure right away.
Another response could be to catch your breath and recompose yourself like waking up from an intense dream only to yawn and stretch a bit and back to sleep you go. You might fall back into a similar or an even nicer dream if your mind and body want to. You could even smoke a cigarette, maybe go to the toilet and just fall back into it after.

Dropping down can even be a nice thing if you can appreciate the stillness or absence of thought. Sometimes you know you slept enough though and it might be time to throw off the covers to wake up and just go about your day feeling well rested and nice.

A tip for binaural play: put it on a loop 😛

That is a really eye-opening way of putting it.

I don't want to label it up or down. Let's just say it was a pleasurable feeling that I really liked. I don't want to get frustrated by thinking it was less or more of what it could've been.

I think it's the typical scary new thing you did. I knew beforehand that this could happen. And I told myself I should let it happen and not be scared. Unfortunately, it was involuntary. Getting scared makes you do things you're not even aware of. I'll have to work on that. But the rush of being scared in a secure environment is also nice haha

I feel like it was the tip of the iceberg. I said I didn't want to classify it as insufficient or too intense. But I do know it felt like it could be potentially more than that. It's a gut feeling. Even if it prolonged a little bit, I sense it could've been really really enjoyable.

You said I was doing things right by not setting expectations. I find it easy not to have great expectations every time I begin a session. Even if I had a good experience last time. But when I do have a good experience, like yesterday, I can get frustrated after that. I think I try too hard to do it again, and the feeling is too recent not to long for it. But dropping for a while, or basically disconnecting from it for a bit, that might just work if I don't want to call it a night yet.

Thank you for your response :3

Could you describe, or try to, how it felt the first time you felt something like what I felt?

The session before I had my first Super-0,the same thing happened,I felt an enormous heat in my pelvic region,and it freaked me out a bit,I thought maybe I’d bust a hole in my prostate and something leaking out :p.
Anyway,was reassured here it was simply one of the steps to the super-0,so I was ready for it next time and shorty after,I had my first super-o. So if you didn’t have your first super-o,I’d have thought you were heading into one,I seen a couple of posts where people get a bit freaked,it seems quite normal.

I think your feeling about this being the tip of the iceberg is right. This is also what sets you up for great expectations that are difficult to manage. It's not wrong to be intrigued by it. I would just accept the fact that as the captain of a ship you can only ever spot what lies above the water. What is going on underneath the surface of the ocean is a giant world of mystery. Jumping headfirst into the water might not be a smart thing to do. Keeping a clear head and steering gently around it with a sense of awe and respect is all one can really do.

As for what my first experiences felt like: I don't really know anymore. Memory is selective and experiences change; what was weird, new and scary before is different now. I also think everyone has their own frame of reference when it comes to these things and even the same person will have a different view on it with time.

As you can already tell from the way that I answer is that I need metaphors to describe anything.
I think this hobby is between my body and the universe or whatever you want to call it. It's a job that is not suited for the thinking part of my brain. During sessions, I like to think of it as a slightly idiotic friend that wants to start an argument about politics just to sound smart. I might politely nod while thinking to myself: I don't want to get into this shit right now. Just let me enjoy the movie already.

@Tommygunn I think we did have the same feeling :). I'm glad it's a step into the right direction.

It's funny how after a couple of years of Anerosing, this happened after a several-month hiatus. Almost out of the blue. I hope this keeps getting better 😀

@Mitaru That metaphore is a good one, I might use it 😛

@bobi1990 i think your journey may be unfolding in stages,and plateaus. I know mine has ,and many guys say they plateau for a bit and then further progress comes out of blue.

Last night I had another session. I think I had too many expectations, too little time and too much stress to begin with. I got relaxed enough for a short period of time to get a similar feeling as the first post, but it was fairly weaker. I got distracted by something else not aneros related, and then stopped the session. I took the Helix Syn out. I did cum after that, but like half an hour later. I just felt like doing it, but I didn't do it out of frustration while having the aneros in, which has happened several times in the past. So at least there's that.

Overall, the session was not fulfilling, though I have to say, the moments that I did have the feeling (which I don't know how to label yet) were fulfilling. That sensation is fulfilling. It's hard to explain because it's not like an orgasm when you cum. After that you may or may not feel fulfilled, but you do feel depleted. With this, which happened once and yesterday half-happened, I feel fulfilled and ready for more. Unfortunately, I think I'm too new to be relaxed and have the right mindset just after it happens. I have to mature on that. I hope I will with every session.

I'd love to have regular sessions. But, unfortunately, I'll be pretty busy and stressed for at least one and a half more weeks, so I doubt I'll be able to have sessions regularly, if not at all...

Another thing that I wanted to discuss is nipple stimulation. I do have sensitive nipples, and they do give me a lot of pleasure. They got more sensitive with aneros use. Ironically, I think they distract me when I'm having a session. Last night, for example, I had the feeling happening, and after that I thought I could use some nipple stimulation to help the feeling come back again, but no. They did feel good, but I'd say they are more linked to my penis than anything else. They produce nice sensations by themselves and also make me hard and horny, but not the way you'd want for a session. I think I need to rewire them.

Okay, it looks like this has become my progress thread xD

I think I might do a session tonight as well, I feel in the mood after all. In these previous sessions I was lying on my back with kness bent and feet flat on bed when I had the feelings. I don't know if I should try on one side with bottom leg stretched and top leg bent like many recommend. The bad thing is it will probably be uncomfortable with headphones :/

Let's see what happens!

Hi @bobi1990, perhaps my recent experiences can help you a bit with your next session. To save myself some typing I provide you some links to some of my recent posts. To begin with, as you asked about the forum technique to link words, I can help too, it‘'s as simple as this.

Concerning your nipple play I‘'d suggest that less might be already more for you. With growing sensitivity well known stimulation techniques might already have become too powerful to let you sense new and much more subtle feelings and reactions of your body you'‘re already capable of. If you don’t adapt their force, you might miss to notice the success you already made in your re-wiring. Only touching or even hovering your fingers above a sensitive spot might already be enough. To give an example, I now only put my forefingers ever so slightly on my nipples, still covered from the fabric of my t-shirt, and let my fingers rest there without any motion. It's all it needs to let my nipples get erect after only seconds and let also involuntaries start in my abdomen. Even more examples.

I'd further suggest to read another post and the post linked therein concerning Aless, meaning „Aneros-less“ enjoying prostate fun without inserting your tool by (first) only recalling the memories of those good sensations your last Aneros session has given you. This helps with your sensitivity for the new found vibes and with the understanding that your Aneros device is only the key to the bliss to open up the new realm of prostate awareness for you, but later on not necessary to feel the bliss - like the ring of the Green Lantern isn'‘t necessary for him to use his force.

But first and faremost I'‘d suggest to read about my latest expericence that taught me to lead my awareness of blissful sensations in a new way. I‘'d believe you have already reached a point where this insight can make a milestone in your journey.

But all these recommendations are only my two cents. Stay playful and try whatever comes to your mind. There is such a lot left to discover even after years, stick to it and the best is yet to come! Always remember, as unique we all are your journey will be too.

Good vibes to you and my best wishes for your special journey.
