Shivers last night - what were they? Unsure

Ive been getting these weird shiver/p wave feelings myself in my thighs lately and its the first time since I started using aneros many years ago. They feel good so I'll just blame them on my prostate. The prostate can cause all kinds of weird feelings, if they are pleasureable then just chalk it up to the prostate.

Sound like something is 'waking up' (even though you went to sleep!). Everyone is different in how they experience this. In many ways it doesn't matter exactly what you call the shaking, in fact analysing things only stops them progressing.I would say if it feels good go with it, be patient, and see what happens, you might be very pleasantly surprised soon. Let us know.

Thanks guys, I was thnking it was a prostate thing, but again not sure. Will have to have another session to find out 🙂 Basically I was pondering over whether it was a hypnagogic sensation or not, haha. However I am not reading into it too much, just kinda letting things happen. I do however feel a little more aware of my prostate today though - maybe a sign of awakening like you said smudgefish!

I will let you guys know what happens next time...

I've had those as well. I tend to have better sessions when I'm tired and on the verge of falling asleep. I think I am the most relaxed at that point and things tend to happen more. I would say its a prostate thing.

There are many different sensations you may experience during your journey...here's my short list...but see the Wiki under 'Getting Started' for the big list...

o Leg or arm or shoulder muscle contractions
o Sudden strong buzzing sensation in any number of locations on your body
o Slight tingling that can feel like shivers - Be particularly aware of these...they can grow into much much stronger sensations

As others may mention, your awareness of how your body reacts to these new sensations is what your early journey is all about! Relax, read the wiki a few times and enjoy everything that feels good during your sessions!

Welcome to a whole new world!

These shivers belong to the orgasmic spectrum. They sound like what we refer to as mini-O here. P-waves are much milder and more repetitive (like waves).

You better get used to these shivers and cherish them because they are your door to the whole "internal" orgasm spectrum, as opposed to the tensed ejaculatory orgasm. These two seem so different you'd wonder at first why we use the same "orgasm" word for both. But now you've had the shivering experience of a deep relaxation orgasm (althouth it was a mild one), you know what to expect and where to go.

Enjoy.

I agree with Canacan. These sound like mini O's.

I remember the first time i experienced this sensation for the first time. I thought that could be a superO but was pleasantly surprised that it gets better.

BTW, when you were in high school (presumably a year ago - given you are 19), did you ever think you'd experience something like this?

Keep enjoying!

Hey you guys, thanks for the replies!

I had time to a couple more sessions over the last few days or so, more and more interesting things have been going on. I definitely feel like I am close to at least getting a dry orgasm. I will go into reasonable detail on each. I also have experienced more of those seemingly hypnagogic sensations, but I can now conclude that they are definitely resulting from my aneros usage.

Both of these sessions were done at night before I fell asleep.

Session #1, I lubed up and inserted the aneros before settling down in bed for the night. I usually do sessions starting out laying on my side but once I start to get things going a little more I move to other positions like laying on my back.

I was laying there enjoying the subtle sensations of having the aneros inserted, and I slowly became more and more relaxed. I also am really good and getting myself aroused via fantasy (I never masturbate to porn), as well as via rubbing other parts of my body besides the usual (like nipples or inner thighs). However things took an interesting turn one moment while turned over and laid on my side.

Around 1AM (which oddly seems to always be when these sensations start), I had my head on my pillow and I again was laying on my side. I started to become extremely relaxed, and I began experiencing sensations like I was falling into the bed, and an increasing feeling of pressure around my prostate. I started to become even more aroused, and was definitely hard. I can almost relate it to a sensation like being high, with a sense of increased sexual awareness. There were also some shivers involved. It almost felt like it was an out of body experience.

During this, I even started to involuntarily hump the bed and writhe in a sexual manner. All of this lasted for less than a couple minutes and kind of just tapered off. I kept the aneros in and ended up masturbating to a couple of very nice ejaculatory orgasm after that, taking care to be slow and sensual. I made sure other parts of my body were involved as well, including my prostate. I fell asleep with my aneros in.

Session #2, I will be more brief on this, since it was basically the same circumstances (getting ready, timeframe, etc.) as the last one. I did this session the night after the last session. However, I did experience more of those out-of-body, involuntary humping mini orgasms (again around 1am). I have really come to like them! It is almost like I am handing the keys to my body and letting it take me for a ride. I will note though that my prostate was even more woken up this time (as one could expect). At points I felt like a definite orgasmic feeling was welling up, and I did my best to try to focus on it and make it grow, but it ended up going away after about five or so minutes. This occured a couple more times - at that point I think I was definitely on the way to a dry orgasm. After a little while more of just enjoying the aneros I ended up masturbating normally like I did the last time.

I will note too that my penile masturbation has not hindered my session or "rewiring" in any way it seems.

I hope that I have described my sessions good enough for you guys to picture what is going on! Sometimes I feel I type gibberish, lol.

@Mattp: Yes, now that you mention it, I definitely believe that these were mini orgasms. Also, I think I have known about the aneros and male prostate orgasms for the last few years. I have lurked on the forums here every now and then to try to gain some knowledge and read the wikis. I finally had to give in and buy an aneros after experimenting with my finger while masturbating normally (which was awesome).

So yeah, I guess in high school I knew for a good period of time that orgasm was not about ejaculation, and that prostate orgasms would open the door to new experiences like the orgasms you guys describe. I always have been very in touch with my inner sexuality too and I can genuinely say (through my own personal opinion) that a lot of guys my age limit there sexual potential so much it is ridiculous (not being emotional. letting go, furiously masturbating to penile orgasms, etc.), there is so much pleasure available to the male sex that is just sadly overlooked by 90 percent of the male population. I do however have a couple of friends (one straight, one gay) who have also experimented with prostate play, so it is cool to be able to share some experiences with them. However they do not really know about the whole multiple, dry orgasm thing it seems.

Also for the record I have just finished my freshman year of college 🙂 . I actually used the aneros in the beginning of my journey in my dorm when my roommate wasn't around on days when I wasn't going out to party, lol. I actually ordered it from my dorm room!

@Canacan: Again like I said to mattp I definitely agree to the fact these are mini orgasms. I will say that it is quite a bit different, but I like it because it is a nice change. I can't wait to see what comes next when I move further down my aneros path! Oh and you say that that was mild, lol I cant wait to see what a strong one is like!

@Theme_gasm: I have read the wiki many times, however at the times I did so I did not ever experience any of those sensations, so it was kind of left up to my imagination, lol. It is nice to start to see what they are really like! I am definitely experiencing increasing awareness as well with each session, probably due to my prostate waking up! It feels great, and I am definitely enjoying it.

@kguy17: I agree with your statement completely, right before bed seems to generate the best feelings for me, and oddly enough I start to become extremely aroused when I just lie there and think about sexual fantasies with my head on my pillow, generally more so then when I just go about my day (heh). It definitely helps with relaxation and letting myself go!

Thanks everybody and I look forward to everything you guys have to say!

How long are your sessions? I know that I'm relaxing enough when I feel like I'm falling into my bed, so keep that up.

Probably anywhere from 1-2.5 hours I would say, not really sure how long exactly, heh.

That's a good amount. I get the shivers too, but I don't think too much about them. When I get them without inserting anything, I just try to enjoy them. If I'm riding, then it's a sign for me that something's working.

Agreed, the shivers are a good sign that something spectacular is warming up.

I'm not sure if I've experienced the shivers yet. I have felt that floating sensation when laying in bed however. Could you describe the shivers in more detail? I assume this isn't like a full blown shaking as if you were cold. What led up to it and were you physically shivering or was it more of a mental thing?

You ask too many questions. Relax. Let it come to you.

Sorry, I've always been one to ask a lot of questions. When I get into something I want to know everything there is to know about it. I guess I'm kind of ocd with things of interest.

Sorry guys, been a little busy lately. Have not had much of a chance to use the Aneros due to my work schedule, but hopefully I can get a session in sometime soon. Its probable beneficial for me to space out my sessions anyway. Anyway I will answer some questions:

@Orgazmo: I think the floating sensation was a definite precursor to the shivers - I have not even had shivering happen lately in my sessions. However the best detail I can go into is that it is both a physical and mental phenomenon - my body is definitely shaking, almost vibrating, but there is a mental component in that I guess the mind kind of shifts to a more alert yet extremely relaxed state. I mentioned how I could sort of "hear my thoughts" in the beginning, I guess that is what I mean, i don't even know for sure lol. Every feeling will be different for everyone - what I describe may end up feeling completely different for you, as everyone has their own orgasmic fingerprint. That is the only way I can really describe the shivering sensations right now I guess. 🙂

Also, I don't really believe that asking lots of questions will really hinder someones journey - to me I think the added knowledge would seem reassuring to someone with the Aneros. That is just my opinion 🙂 The more you know the more you know.

Thanks guys!

@Searching4Bliss I experienced the floating/melting sensation again last night. Before it happened however, my body was buzzing heavily. I never progressed to shivers, unless the buzzing sensation is what you are describing. Seems like my progress has really sped up. Last night this happened when I went to bed without the aneros and wasn't even planning to do much but sleep.

I enjoy reading others experiences and like even more when something I read about happens to me.

@orgazmo
All that you read will eventually happen to you.
