When using my prostate cradle for about 6 to 7 minutes I find my dick goes absolutly numb, has anyone else experienced this problem? I've attempted to adjust positioning but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
One thing's for sure, I now have a pretty good idea what it feels like not to have a penis. 😯

In 7 days it's going to fall off 😉
Seriously though, never had that happen, probably just put it to sleep somehow.
Taurus,
If the Prostate Cradle is causing genital numbness you should stop using it immediately. It could be a sign of potential nerve damage.
Are you using any kind of cushioning with the Cradle?
You might want to play around with different ways to relieve some of the pressure on your perineum. Personally, I place the Cradle in the center of a very deep, and very soft Tempurpedic pillow, so that when I settle on top of it, the Cradle sinks down and most of my weight is actually distributed around the pillow and not on the device itself. I've never been able to comfortably sit on the Cradle with my full weight, so I never do. I wouldn't take the risk.
If you can find a safe level of pressure from the Cradle that provides prostate stimulation without any numbness or discomfort, then you should be fine. But if you can't find a way to use the Cradle without experiencing side-effects like numbness or pain, avoid the thing entirely. It's just not worth it.
Pan,
Thanks for the advice. Normally I sit on the couch when using the prostate cradle which I thought would be adequate as it sinks down quite a bit but I guess there's a possibility that even though the cushion sinks down it may still be too firm.
I've never been able to sit directly on it either the material is just too hard.
I don't really use the prostate cradle very often as it's never really done anything for me so whenever I have used it the session only lasted around 4 minutes then I got bored.
I've just recently started using it again because my Aneros sessions have been really bad for the last few months but I'm beginning to think the prostate cradle is not for me because I've never found a position that gives me any kind of response.
Maybe I will try a few things first like removing pressure from the prostate cradle by putting it in the middle of 2 cushions.
Where do you generally position the prostate cradle? The other thing I was wondering is do you just sit on it or move back and forth on it the way the instructions suggest?
Thanks
Taurus
Taurus, I'm glad you brought up the numbness. I too have been having the same thing happen to my penis the last few times I've used the Prostate Cradle. It never used to do that to me, but it has made it go numb in recent sessions.
Pan, thanks so much for your advice. I never considered that it could be doing nerve damage. I rarely use the cradle anymore, especially since I got a Progasm, but if I do, I'll be much more careful.
Hey Guys,
I'm really glad you mentioned this numbness problem. I think it's a serious issue that people should be aware of, especially the manufacturer of the Prostate Cradle. If you (and anyone else who's experienced pain or numbness while using the Prostate Cradle) would send him a quick email, maybe he'd reconsider the design or at least give a more detailed warning about the potential side-effects.
Personally, I was quite disappointed when mine arrived. I've always thought it was way to firm and should have been made from a much softer grade of silicone (at least twice as soft if not more). I suppose I should send him an email too...
Even though I eventually found a way to make it work for me, and I actually really enjoy using the Cradle, I've always been extremely careful with it.
To answer your question Taurus, I never rock back and forth on the Prostate Cradle or do any kind of major movements at all. I settle down on it slowly, and simply rest on it. I use mental stimulation only to achieve orgasms with the Cradle. And I always have my hands on each side of a folding chair so I can easily adjust my weight and position.
For me, the Cradle is just a kind of "finale" that I like to do after I've already had a bunch of non-ejaculatory orgasms (usually without the Aneros). When my prostate is really humming after a session, resting on the Cradle for a few minutes and entertaining some erotic thoughts gives me some intense Super-O's. But I rarely spend more than 5-10 minutes on it at a time.
I've found that for some reason, the Cradle only feels really good when I'm already "warmed up" down there from a nice long session. And I'm guessing that the increased blood flow from multiple orgasmic contractions may help make my perineum more pliable and able to accommodate the Cradle's pressure.
It might be that "cold-starting" with the Cradle is part of the problem for some guys? I dunno, maybe a nice long bath before hand would help?
Anyway, Taurus, I could recommend various ways to try and work with the Cradle, but I really think that for now, it would be best if you explored more gentle ways to stimulate your perineum.
I experienced my very first multiple orgasms by learning a technique called KSMO (www.multiples.com) which includes learning how to massage one's perineum in order to "wake up" your prostate's erotic sensitivity. I gently massaged my perineum with nothing but my hand and some lubricant every night for about three weeks. The first week, I felt a lot of soreness down there. By the second week, it felt kinda good. By the third week, it felt absolutely orgasmic!
Toys and massagers like the Cradle can be great, but in my opinion, nothing beats the sensitivity and skill of your own fingertips. If you spend a little time every night massaging that area yourself, you'll have a much clearer awareness of how healthy it is and over time, you may be surprised at how much pleasure you can feel down there with even the slightest touch.
Hope this helps.
Pan
Hi Pan,
Thanks for the great insight, I may just contact the manufacturer regarding the numbness and see what he has to say but at this point I really don't foresee the prostate cradle becoming anything more than a once in a blue moon toy. At present I'm more focused on trying to get back on track with my Aneros sessions and after reading your post I'm thinking it may be time to take a look at KSMO again.
Thanks again.
Taurus.
Hi, Pan and Collin
What is your prostate cardle (Extra Large, Large, Medium) and what is your intended use (medical use,sensual use,both)?
It seem that the large size can stimulate more, which may cause some soreness.
Hi jly,
I don't know what size my Cradle is. There was only one size and one color available when I purchased mine. Funny, that's how it was when I got my first Aneros...
I'm more interested in the density of the material then the actual size though. If the manufacturer were to produce a softer model, I would definitely be interested.
Now, there are different sizes and different colors. And when you order the product, there is a seletion that ask you what is your intend use.
Ok, I contacted the cradle manufacturer. In order to avoid numbness he said to use more cushioning and take more frequent breaks (makes sense). Also he said softer materials do not provide enough stimulation hence the need for cushioning. For me, both the mgx and the cradle have been useful in discovering parts of my body I didn't know existed. Now my prostate and my feet are basically turned on all the time! Yeah 'foot super O's' -- often simultaneously with prostate O's -- get a small round foot massage device and put it under the center of the feet then flex -- *Wow*!
What a great forum. Where else could we discuss this stuff?!
I guess the idea of using a stiffer material is that you can soften it up with padding but you can't go the other way and make it stiffer.
I bought one a few months ago and use it occasionally. It initially caused me discomfort and I couldn't find the right combination of padding and positioning to make it feel good, so I put it aside. Fast forward a few months and I thought I'd try it while masturbating. I had previously used it just by itself without doing anything else. I placed it on a closed toilet seat and was able to sit on it without needing any additional padding. I'm not sure why that is but perhaps my perineum is used to more stimulation now. It could also be that I was able to spread my legs more while sitting rather than having to have them pretty much pointing forward due to the sides of the chair that I was using restricting my movement. Very little if any ejaculate came out when I ejaculated, much like when I've clenched my PC muscles before ejaculation. It was a different feeling though than when you clench your PC muscles. It wasn't bad but it didn't really feel good either and I still felt the refractory period kick in as is the case when I've clenched my PC muscles. I've only used the cradle a couple of times for masturbation but it isn't something that I want to keep doing since I'm concerned about retrograde ejaculation. I also don't clench my PC muscles anymore when ejaculating. I've seen how it feels and decided I really don't like it, so I don't use those techniques anymore. If the ejaculatory contractions start, I just let them proceed and don't stop the process.
There was only one size available when I bought it so I checked on the site recently since I was curious about the different sizes. They are based on your weight. If you are 150 - 200lbs, then that's the regular size. They offer a larger size for those over 200lbs and a smaller size for those under 150lbs. It also comes in two colors although I can't recall what they are, blue and purple I think. The price is also slightly different based on these sizes. I assume that when they were only selling one size, that it was for the 150 - 200lb range.
They are in the process of adding a Forum although it isn't up yet. They also have a video that I thought would show how to use it, but it's only 30 seconds and shows the cradle by itself from the side and the front. Perhaps a more detailed video is in the works.

I noticed the retro ejac feeling a little when I press down on the front of the cradle but pressing on the center feels good. Really it's the feeling after normal peak 'O' that I like. While still sitting on the cradle sometimes my prostate becomes ecstatic with no pulsations.... super O's.... like the aneros
I have read lots of users talking about KMSO and despite my best efforts havent found exactly what it is/how to do it. The closest I can get is a link to the guy who discovered/invented its website, but then it asks you to purchase the audio.
Can anyone help me on this subject please?
Thankyou.
Hi playfulpair,
Welcome to the Forum,
It’s unfortunate that you missed Saturday’s Chat Session here with Jack Johnston (member name = HydraulicJack - developer of KSMO) and other Forum members regarding his technique. A partial transcript of the Chat Session is available here - http://aneros.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2911 . You can check out a reference in the WIKI at http://wiki.malegspot.com/index.php?title=Related_Products#KSMO for a little information, but Jack’s site at http://multiples.com/howtolastlongerinbed/ is really where you need to look for detailed information.
Jack’s technique is based upon proper articulation of a particular vocalization, as such one must listen to it to learn the technique, thus the need to purchase the audio.
On the audio recording Jack explains the technique and teaches you how to properly articulate the Key Sound Multiple Orgasm protocol.
The Prostate Cradle looks interesting. There are definately times when I feel that the fuss and muss of insertion seems a bit much. Kind of nice to have a simple and quick alternative.
One thing I noticed is that it comes in three sizes. I am 167 pounds, and at 5'9" rather thinly built. When buying shirts, I go for medium. Can anyone venture a guess as to whether I should purchase the medium or large Cradle? If I just go by the recommendations by weight, the choice would be the large.
How safe is the Prostate Cradle? It is shaped like a bike saddle and I lost circulation once. How much like a bike saddle is it in shape and all? It's been said that bike saddles have damaged nerves and blood vessels and cut off circulation in the perineum and root of the penis which can lead to temporary or permanent erectile dysfunction and sensitivity decrease or loss. Why they still shape bicycle saddles like that when manufactured is beyond me? Boys and men ride bikes all the time and they could have problems in the future for sitting on the saddles and riding long distances doing that? I wonder if these factors can cause women and girls problems. Is the Cradle shaped in a way to where it cannot damage like a bike saddle? Their literature says it's safe but is it really? Was this created by a doctor? I would like to use mine more but have been skittish about it because I don't want to damage my male organs. Does anyone have any advice for me on this or assurance it is safe or how to safely use it?
i have the cradle and i have not gotten the results any of you have gotten...to me its like sitting on a rock....how are you supposed to position that thing?????and how exactly does it work???and how long do you have to sit on it????? the directions they give you are to vague and not helpful at all...i have trying padding it in different ways and have been unsucessfull....
It's too bad their site doesn't give a forum like this one or longer and more detailed instructions. Their site is www.prostatecradle.com. I think the Prostate Cradle and The Crystal Wand (www.lovenectar.com and www.taobums.com) go along good with the Aneros. I don't see any of these products as competitors but more like friends of each other which coexist and that each have their own uniqueness.
equalityboy81,
The correct link to the Tao Bums is http://www.thetaobums.com/ I just tried it and it is functioning properly.

Take a look at the various bicycle seat/saddle options listed in my last post in this thread: http://www.aneros.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3944
I too think we have to explore external prostate massage carefully. There is a good site on that topic that appeared in a thread or threads here last year. A search of this site should turn that/those up too.
How goes your journey?
all the best

I never really know what to say when I make these posts, but I just wanted to share something.
Here it goes....
I ordered the prostate cradle a few weeks ago because of this discussion. I have felt the massage working, but no major pre-cum. just one hour ago I had a 30 minute session where I could feel the massage working, but no major contractions, so I decided to give it a rest. I laid down on my back to rest for a while.
Something clearly amazing happened within that time. I started having moderate p-waves (pure p-waves no contractions) they started spreading through my body, which lasted for about 10 seconds. During this time my penis became very erect from pure arousal. I thought that I would ejaculate. I rarely get pure pleasure waves. After these events I occasionally had small to moderate mini-o until they suddenly stopped and something bigger happened.
My body started violently shaking for nearly 3 seconds with minimal pleasure. (That was the start of a super-o) After my body stopped shaking more and more pleasure grew, but then suddenly dropped off. I laid there for nearly an hour enjoying the after effects of my prostate cradle session. When I finally decided to get up I found it hard to move because every step that I took felt like I was about to explode in ejaculation. (which wouldn't be such a bad thing). I wanted to have a similar session later so I restrained from masturbation or any type of ejaculation.
I just wanted to share this
Also I never had the problem with blood circulation with the prostate cradle. Maybe it fits me perfectly. When I'm not using the aneros I will definitely use the prostate cradle. I will also take it with me when I travel.
Well, fellas,
From my other posts, you know how passionate I am about the Aneros experience. I love the damn things.
But after reading the threads on the Prostate Cradle, I bought one. And am I excited about it, too.
Others have well said all that needs to be said, other than I use mine on a soft chair, with an additional blanket pad UNDER the cradle. It is a soft seat, with gentle stimulation...sitting on it right now as I write. I have had two INTENSE orgasm events in the past half hour! It's an amazing toy!
I'm not totally sure just why it works so well. but it sure does for me. Nice erections, too. Wow.
So...very pleased and highly recommended. If it's not working for you, remember, you gotta relax with this one too. And make sure you have plenty of padding under the cradle, and wear pants! No bareback riding here, dudes.
Here's to renewed experiences.
Cockadoodle....Do.
I bought the cradle and I'm sending it back. It's a big dud for me. Aneros still is the King. Good thing the cradle comes with a 30 day money back guarantee 😀
Yes Aneros is still the king but the Cradle does work the way it says according to most users.
i just ordered mine is there any special way to use this or you just sit on it?..and can you be naked or have to be in clothes?
Loco,
Sometimes you need some padding between your bottom and the cradle. I have found that one or two layers of towel works well, but I don't have much natural padding on my bottom. I also find that rolling up a towel and making a ring around the cradle to lift me up a bit also works well. Enjoy!

Hey Guys,
This just recently turned up during a late night web surfing. A visit to the prostate cradle web site could be DANGEROUS see - http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=http:%2F%2Fwww.prostatecradle.com%2F for details.
UPDATE: The security threat appears now to have been cured and the site is now safe to visit.
