Progress in stages?

I found it relatable when you said "forget previous sessions" and rediscover.  During the orgasms everything is so vivid about how pleasurable it is.  Once I'm done it's almost like a "Did that really happen?  What was that pleasure like, I seem to have forgotten..."  Which is great because it keeps the next time from feeling redundant or repetitive.  

As for 'progress', I would say yes.  Not so much as a steady incline or steps in the upward direction.  More like different responses each time.  Most of them good, some of them great - then some days that it's just not happening and I throw in the towel (dry-ish white towel).  Each time I get more confident in approaching it and feel maybe less stage fright that can hinder explosive experiences.  I wouldn't want a "final" stage if there were one.  I enjoy feeling like the sky's the limit and keep at it enjoying each experience for their uniqueness.  I hope that helps, and welcome back.  

@waynehanes so very true! Each experience produces different results sometimes earth shattering pleasures and sometimes leaves you without any progress but definitely a learning process! My prostate/rectum also lets me know when it’s time to play!😀

A few questions for the more experienced among you: Have you also had this kind of impression? Do you make progress in stages? Have you reached a final stage?

I definitely haven't reached anything like a final stage. I know there's still more, because I catch momentary glimpses of it on some rare occasions. Some fleeting internal involuntary contraction that's hard, raw, and deep beyond anything I've ever felt in a sustained way. The kind of pleasure, that if it did repeat rapidly, might make me lose control completely. I thought for a long time that the videos of guys moaning were exhibitionist bullshit, but to solve the equation from the other side of the equals sign, maybe they're just "getting taken" in a very deep way, that I can still only get flashes of. Naturally, it's disappointing to not reach these sustained levels myself, but at the same time, it represents a bigger prize.

IMO, there are different categories of orgasm. When I smoked weed with my sessions, I feel like I ascended to some incredible levels, but they were mostly chemical and vaguely full-body... but they still never hit the thunderous locality, hardness, and accuracy of some of the flashes I've had sober. I've never moaned in a session, no matter how impossibly good it felt, but the higher level flashes I've had feel like they might just break me.

@fred27 Definitely.  I’ve been coming to peace with the sessions that just seem to plateau.  Usually they happen after a day of super-o’s which is understandable.  So I agree with looking at them as progress and learning experiences.

@clenchy It is okay not to be vocal as not everyone is.  For me it can make it more fun or trick my brain into thinking it really is going intense and that will slippery slope into something bigger.  But when you say “might break me” is that enjoyable for you?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. I have made noises before voluntarily, because that's where the vibe was in that moment. Other times I've made noises that surprised me, because something peaked and I was surrendered to it. What I haven't experienced is loud, repeated/extended moaning and thrashing like I've seen in some videos. For me to do that would require losing all control, and being subject to something extremely overwhelming and prolonged, beyond anything I've experienced before. Which would take some doing. As much as I don't want awkward looks from my neighbors, the thought of being "taken" by something that powerful does sound exciting.

And I feel like I've had momentary pleasure-spikes that lasted 2 or 3 seconds, that were so profoundly deep and sweet, that if they weren't just these one-and-done sensations, that if instead they kept happening over and over again... I could see that being enough to sweep me up into these kinds of big vocalizations. 

Hear hear. I too have never got to the point where I feel the urge to moan and groan loudly. At times, I was breathing heavily and sighing with pleasure but that felt still some distance away from the involuntary moaning/groaning. I don't however doubt at least some of those guys in the videos were truthful (and not to put up a show) in their feelings and expressions, and I think it must be sublime to be able to experience that. While I'm fully open to working toward it, I also know that stage of pleasure and excitement may not be in store for everyone, and some of us may never have that experience, which is OK. Wherever it takes me. I submit to it.
