Hello professional326,

And welcome to the Aneros forum. 😀

What you describe are very common new Aneros user issues. So don't feel like it is just you that is not getting much of any pleasure out of it. I encourage you to read as much as you can in the forum and ask questions as you need to. Also, the Aneros WIKI has a lot of the answers to basic new user questions, in addition to more advanced stuff.

To answer your observations and questions...
First of all, recognize that it is not a race to reach super-O's. Be patient, as you have to go through a "re-wiring" process before you will start to recognize pleasure from your Aneros sessions. I struggle with this also, as I have not reached super-O's yet either. But I have had very pleasurable sessions where I've gotten mini-O's and hands free to almost hands free super-T's(A traditional orgasm with ejaculation). Most guys will not experience much of anything in the first few sessions. Some times it takes longer, sometimes less. During a session just allow your body and mind to relax and accept that it is on a journey with no particular goal in mind. Expectations of the results of your session will usually make for a dud session. So lose any expectations. I find for myself that pleasurable sensation only occur both when I have allowed my entire mind and body to completely relax(especially the anus), and have a way of keeping myself aroused.(A hot fantasy in your head, your partner with you, or watching and reading porn, etc., etc.)

Your experiences do not have to be like what other people describe their's are. And probably will be somewhat unique to you. To me, whether or not pre-cum drips out of my penis is irrelevant to what happens within the session, or if I am experiencing pleasure.

My understanding of an anal contraction is when the anal muscles tighten around the Aneros, forcing it to move deeper within your rectum. But what you are trying to achieve through relaxing your body/mind and anus, is involuntary anal contractions. Anal contractions that occur on their own without you controlling them.

How close you are to starting to experience pleasure during your sessions I have no idea. But if you patiently and regularly practice using your Aneros, you will not be stuck at the stage you are at now forever. Don't make the same mistake that I made for the first year after I bought my Helix. I would try it a few times, and then not use it again for months in frustration. Because of irregular use, it took me over a year to start to see results.
I wish you well on your Journey.
Peace

Take it slow and relax. Definitely do not rush yourself, you'll likely miss the steps that will bring you to a Super-O. Something just clicks, that's the best way to describe it. One day, you'll feel nothing. The next, you'll start to get "something". Then before you know it out of nowhere, Mini-O's or perhaps for you, Super-O's (to be honest, I'm almost afraid..the mini-O cascades I've been getting lately were intense because it lasted so long, though it wasn't overly powerful).

I don't know if this is universal for everyone, but I did notice a throbbing sensation (which I'm guessing is the prostate). I concentrated on this while relaxing and noticed contracts began without me even focusing on them. I kept focusing and before I knew it I felt what could only be described as a fleeting butterflies in the stomach feeling before being rocked with wave after wave of mini-O's (I know they weren't Super-O's, but they were awesome!!).

Be patient, good things come to those who wait ;).

so are you suppose to make yourself contract to try and get the involentary contractions or do you just let them happen

Hello again,

Generally if you just completely relax, they will happen on their own. But I've found in some instances I've had to make ever so minutely small contractions to help them along.

Hi professional326,

Some folks are able to let the contraction come without any activity, but IMHO that is not the normal here.
Most folks have to start their own contractions. What you want to do is contract lightly, hold for about 15 to 20 seconds, then release, then do it again. You should feel almost a flutter when doing this after some time. hopefully it leads to a stronger contraction and then involuntaries.

We mentioned this on the chat this last week. You can read what was said here...

On the order of a 1 to 10, you contract about a 2 to 3 on the scale. but read more on the chat.
Some opinions vary slightly on how strong to contract.

I hope it helps, 🙂
