Popular in Japan, evidently. (Aneros instructional)

I thought it was a girl for a moment until I looked at the other thumbnails lol.

Anyway, in regards to contracting the PC muscles while relaxing sphincter, I don't remember if I've heard of that before or not. I'll have to try that, though I'm not sure how long it'll take me to learn that, seems like PC and sphincter muscles are closely linked in my experienced. Are there any exercises to help decouple PC contractions from sphincter contractions?

It was confusing indeed.....guess I'm not totally familiar with manga, so at first it looked like a female instructed guide. 

@aneros_user88299 Basically start with the muscle that lets you flex your wang. That's not the PC muscle, but there's another group right behind it, and thats the one you want. 

It's what everyone says, drink a lot of water until you're ready to bust, and it's the muscle you're clenching to stop from soaking your pants.

Yeah interesting, I think I've been doing the exact opposite of that, contracting the anal muscles and trying to relax the PC muscles as much as possible; still plenty of mobility that way.  I have some experimenting to do!  I don't remember even reading the wiki that it explicitly says what to do, but in general there's an avoidance of the "one size fits all" approach.  Frustrating, sometimes! 

With everything else it takes time to separate different muscle groups but practice makes perfect...so I hear. 

If you could figure how to flex them in opposite directions, that would be the Gold Bar right there.

I think I picked this up on the Aneros wiki page somewhere, but there was a was a write-up on using the Aneros Slightest Touch (basically it was an erotic tens unit, not sold anymore). Who ever wrote those instructions really just wrote a good manual on how to use the Aneros with or without the e-stim. It was available as PDF for download I think. 

Anyway, the technique it taught me that sent me to the moon was to breathe in deep, make a contraction, hold, then relax and push out as if trying to have a bowel movement and relax. Repeat. Then start trying to hold the kegal at about half or so while exhaling and bearing down. 

That technique changed my life a year ago. 

@kaygo Behind that muscle? That sounds like we're trying to flex the sphincter without the pc, rather than the other way around. I think of the PC muscle as being more in front compared to the sphincter.

@aneros_user88299

In front of the sphincter, but behind the one you use to flex your dick. 

Once you've figured that out, the next thing to keep in mind is that all you need to do is "contract" it. You're not flexing, you're not lifting a hundred pounds with it, just contract that muscle. The functions it performs don't require a lot of force, so don't force it. Just move it, keep it fluid. When you try and flex it as hard as you can, that's when you start flexing the surrounding groups, too. You have to ditch that "If I can't feel it, I'm not making any gains" mentality for this one.

I found the advice to keep the anal sphincter relaxed very effective. 

It helped me discover the beautiful feeling of the Aneros rubbing my prostate, which  feels like rubbing your dick, but from the inside.  This led to a new, more prostate focused, orgasm (I thought I was ejaculating, but I wasn't). 

I now realize that my past orgasms were more anal/rectal focused.

Also, I liked the manga comic.

Thanks for sharing.

Do little "flutters". Flex that muscle as far as you can for kegel exercises, but in a session, you really only want to pull it about a quarter of the way. Just flex that far and release, over and over, with the same rhythm as a bird flapping its wing. When you start to feel something, keep that steady pace. Don't speed up and don't try to flex harder. The idea is to build up a tide that you can't hold back anymore, and then it crashes all over you.

Odds are it won't be surefire the first time, but that's what rewiring is. You get a little further each time.

This topic deserves a different name, like "Aneros Contraction Methods, Explained."  Never have I found such explicit directions or so many different techniques in one place! 

They have a manga for everything!
