Question about shrinkage

@VoyagerCV,IMHO, you need to disconnect the state of your penis from anything to do with Aneros activity. There simply is no connection.

It makes sense that you might have an erection (or more commonly a chubby) at the beginning of your session since you are at that time, probably sexually aroused. However, given the lack of stimulation of the penis during your session, it also makes perfect sense that your erection would diminish while the session progresses.

I think you will also find that most veterans in this process will tell you not to worry about it. There simply isn't anything wrong with you. Just accept what you get and enjoy!

It's very normal. An erection is not always a good indicator for the amount of pleasure you might be experiencing. Since the feelings are focused mostly on your prostate and anal region the penis can retire back into it's default flappy state. Personally I prefer a semi-erection because otherwise my penis will get in the way of the session.

I agree with @Pommie. An erection can at times be a distraction, during an Aneros session. Inversely, it can also be an enhancement? Roll with the punches and enjoy the experience.

As a (relative) youngster on this forum I can tell you the exact same thing happens to me. Sometimes I glance down there and it looks like I'm staring at a wet clit..!If ever I want to end a session with a super T, I have to go looking for the little fella before I can jack it off.
The only time I ever get erect during a session is when I'm stroking my nipples because they are hard-wired to my cock.
I'd imagine that a raging boner would distract me from my focus anyway.

Thanks for all the positive answers. I've only been using Aneros for a month and I'm very happy with the results so far. Knowing my manhood isn't in danger will make the experience even more enjoyable. I just wish I had started this years ago.

Yes, I usually start with a semi erect penis because I'm looking forward to it so much..
😉
However I find that it stays like that for a while and then goes back down. Like some others of you I find myself checking it out occasionally when I shouldn't be. I think we're so hard wired to think that sexual pleasure has to involve an erection that we have a hard time wrapping our heads around it not happening.

I am noticing the same thing. After I use the aneros for quite a long time my dick shrinks up a lot. To the point where it's a small nub. It's crazy, it's never been that small before but in an aneros session it is in full retraction mode to the point of it being like a clitoris. Outside of doing sessions it's a normal size when flaccid. I wonder why that happens???? I guess I'm not the only one

Sometimes, during my sessions, I'll get these wonderful sensations in my penis such that I'm quite sure I have a huge erection but when I check, it simply isn't, whatsoever. I find it wonderfully strange.

My theory is that a large Aneros might partially block bloodflow, while the smaller ones promote bloodflow. I notice shrinkage when I use the Maximus or Vice. But I get very hard (can be almost painfully hard) when I use the Helix Syn or MGX. Also, my balls feel heavier after a Helix session. Eupho and 950 seem to be normal, as far as erections. BTW, I don't switch devices during a session.

I'd like to know what devices others are using when they have shrinkage.

Wondering_smoke. I use the sgx but I'm on the smaller size so sizes are relative I think to the person. After a session I usually shrink up to prepubescent size. I think your onto something as far as it cutting off blood flow. There may be some truth to that.

A useless observation - perhaps.
I have a daily a small wipe of a testosterone supplement. It is a natural product as it is made from wild yams. (On prescription). The tube lasts a year. What I have noticed if I forget, or for some reason have a break I have penile shrinkage. With my HRT in its resting state the 'old man' is quite respectable. I know most members freck out at HRT but it has its advantage, apart from stronger bones, better heart condition, more positive attitude and numerous minor life give helps!
I am not advocating anything this is just a personal unscientific observation. 😀

On the subject of shrinkage, you may also find that with enough Aneros experience, you can suck your balls back into your abdomen, probably something that hasn't happened since you were a little kid.

@hula What? only when you cum right? thats what you meant.....

Several times a month I set aside a session for BPH therapy. This is a take-off on the High Island Health massage routine but I use a Vice to really loosen up the Prostate and Seminal Vesicles then swap to a smaller toy (SGX for me) for a clean Super-T shot.

As @Wandering_smoke notes the Vice will wilt any chubby during the 30-45 minutes it takes to really loosen up the prostate and the rest of the ejaculatory plumbing.

I've found that I can regain the erection more easily if I don a steel cockring before I lube up. That makes it easier to slide into the Fleshlight when I'm ready to shoot. Titan from Gear Essentials or the Aneros store is a fave but there are less expensive ones on eBay. The Gear Essentials website shows how to measure for a good fit.

Actually, Brave New World, no. I learned it from Darwin. Not sure if he still posts here. He posted the technique, and sure enough the balls went up into my abdomen like I was 8 years old. Was using a Progasm at the time.

@hula do you have a link to the discussion or was it private? Most interesting...

I am not a contributor to this forum but I have read the comments posted here daily. I must say that I am very very grateful for all of you who have posted your experiences here- those comments have been extremely helpful over the last 2.5 months I have been an Aneros user. Many many thanks to you all.
I do want to say something about this subject. I have found a few huge benefits- pun is intended. I am not a obviously large guy in the locker room or naked in front of my wife; at least that was true prior to using the four different Aneros products I now own. I was an average size when flaccid now I am routinely twice as large and I am fully at rest and not at all aroused. I like this particular benefit and so too does my wife

I also have found different types of stimulation produce different results when it comes to erections. I have completely and wholly become so aware of my nipples. Barely brushing them cause my dick to buzz. Continued stimulation, (get this as it is really amazing to me as it is so specific), of the underside and the outside of the nipple complexes causes a Huge Boner. This has been very beneficial when I'm rather spent from a few days of orgasms and my wife is interested in intercourse. (Also my conjugal episodes with the wife are far and above what they used to be)

I have also found one last observation about penile orgasms with this experience. This is a bit odd and this is certainly not for all as some might consider it as cock torture. I have found there is wonderful difference when you only stimulate the corona and the glans to orgasm and avoid the usual tugging and pulling of your dick as is in the usual jerk-off maneuvers. It takes quite a bit more time to build the orgasm, at least for me, with the head only technique and whats most remarkable is that at 57 years old and I'm only refractory for 20-30 minutes. Before the Aneros I was able to only accomplish this when I was in my teens and in my twenties when I discovered the difference between these two types of penile stimulation. The use of this approach can be too uncomfortable for some until you get use to the extremely intense sensations. There was a good link about squirting posted here in the forum that goes into some detail about the technique.

The Aneros has brought so much back and it is even better now in some ways then at a younger age back in the day.

Finally, for the newbies. Do read all that you can here on the forum and on the Aneros site. There is much wisdom about this new journey you begin when you purchase your first device. Two of the GREATEST INSIGHTS are as follows. It was said by Mr Mayfield that the path the super 'O' or 'MMO' is a COMBINATION. I do now fully believe this is true. EQUALLY IMPORTANT and another quote from Mr Mayfield is in my estimation the beginning of this search. Remember, PLEASURE TRUMPS ALL.

All those who post here have something to offer and that offering might just may be what a newbie needs add to their 'combination search'.

Be aware that I have not had MMO or the fabled super 'O' but many mini 'O's, and p-waves, and precum like I never had even 'back in the day'. I have for the last month had the most wonderful experiences both with and without the devices. I quickly rise to and sit in this plateau state just under orgasm and it's truly wonderful.

I finally had to post. I may one day tell the whole story on a blog when I find some time.

@rook, Question. I am much helped by your post. I do have question. With Vice what vibe pattern and intensity works best for you. The straight vibe tends to numb the area but may be better loosening it up. The patterned vibe make keep it more alert which may or may not be counter productive.I do have the Vice and had not actually thought of using it in this way. The more I think about it the more it makes sense as essentially it is a Prog-Ice 'with benefits'. I have the Muse version.
This information would also post well in the "Wee Resolution" as well.

@isvara i would use the vice without the muse in. Let your muscles drive it but if you want to use the muse then use the rhythmic vibe setting. You will find your muscles sync up with the rhythm then and it does not deaden the session so much.

@braveneworld, thank you for the response. My problem is that my muscles don't rhrythmic move. They apply pressure and pulse from time to time. So I picked up on @rook's comment for a bit of help.

bnw, I don't have the link. sorry, probably could find it with some searching. Try just pushing them in.

i don't recall anything about them going into the abdomen. I did suggest cremaster exercises, long ago, and exploring how it feels to pull them up.

at no time in my life could i suck them in.

HAHA thought i was missing out!
