physical or mental thing?

Retread,

You and I joined the Forum in the same month, though it appears you have spent more time with the Aneros than I.

I had a prostate biopsy performed back in June, I waited many weeks for the healing and blood to clear out of my semen before attempting to resume Aneros use. When I did resume usage, I noticed a distinct decrease in sensitivity as opposed to the ‘before’ condition, so to your question – “Is this a physical problem?” I believe the answer is yes. However, things did gradually improve to a more normal state prior to my prostate cancer radiation treatments, so to your question – “Have the needles ruined the nerves there or is this a "head thing"?” I believe the answers are No to the first part and Yes to the second part. Obviously your prostate has suffered trauma from the biopsy and needs time to heal, just how long to fully recover is probably highly variable among individuals, in my case I would estimate 4-5 months to get back to what I felt were more normal responses. The whole Aneros experience is very much a “head thing”, I believe one’s attitude will greatly effect the success rate of Aneros usage. What you believe to be true, becomes true for you.

I am only now beginning to re-insert Aneros usage into my life. While I have not gotten the initial levels of pleasure I was hoping for, I am getting pleasurable feelings again. I believe as I heal and learn the pleasurable feelings will correspondingly grow as well.
