Side effects: the good , the bad, and the downright wanton

What a fantastic post magma1984! 🙂

I'm just going to add my own observations to a few of your existing categories.

4. Mental fatigue.

This covers a lot of areas. I notice that sometimes on the days that I have scheduled for an Aneros session that evenings, I often have to much accumulated mental garbage floating in my head to really be focused enough to have some pleasurable results. I think that is where the first thing in morning sessions have an advantage. You've awoken clean and refreshed.

Lack of sleep from late night Aneros usage definitely can be a problem. Do this too many nights in a row and you'll regret it. 😛

5. Increased energy/ revitalisation

I've definitely noticed this one! I seem to require less sleep at night now, since I started getting results with the Aneros.

7. OCD in some users.

The way you describe it also reminds me of superstition, or ritual habits. I didn't find myself falling into this way of preparing for a session. I definitely wash my ass before a session, and sometimes look at some porn. That's as far as my pre-session rituals go. I agree with you completely! Stick it in and enjoy it! 😆 But, I think if these rituals work for some guys, and they are not harming themselves, then go with it. Just recognize that it's only as necessary as you believe it to be. If I find myself not in a mental state that is helpful or inducive to a good Aneros session, I skip it. Perhaps thats what these rituals are for some guys. A way to get into a state of mind that will allow a session, let alone a good one.

11. Oops, one I forgot, sperm consistency. Anyone else found that their sperm consistency changed almost instantly after first use?!?

Only because ejaculation happens a lot less often for me. My experience has been that the more often I ejaculate, particularly more than once a day, the more fluid like my ejaculate becomes.

thanks love_is, some good additions, and while i'm here, i have one more!

12. Increased sexual prowess! I don't know about you, but my refractory period has all but disappeared!

I read one of your recent posts where you felt kind of unsatisfied after masturbating and then had an outstanding aneros session on the back of that - perhaps your refractory period has improved in the same way?

7. OCD in some users. Either there are a lot of obsessive compulsive types on this forum, or the aneros inspires it, I'm not sure, but I read a lot of posts where people have 'to do' lists for getting into the zone for a good session. First I'll take a hot shower, then I'll rub my body with coconut and jojoba oil, then I'll moisturise, after which a lemon juice enema is usually the done thing, and then I'll listen to michael bolton for a couple of hours and by that time I'm usually almost in the zone, but first I have to go around the house and measure all the doors to make sure they're the same dimensions as yesterday.

Actually, it's the opposite of OCD. OCD is a person trying to generate serotonin from activities. What men do here is try to generate dopamine from activities. Having a relaxing ritual to raise dopamine makes sense. Studies have shown meditation and massage can raise dopamine, for example. There are also nutritional ways to raise dopamine, that might make the necessity for dopamine ritual a fun option rather than a requirement.

I'd like to point out that as prostate orgasms match vaginal orgasms, men who have experienced this should be more tolerant of women who want dopamine ritual before sex. Women have a physiological need for a relaxing ritual, for foreplay and romance to "get them in the mood". It's always interesting to see things from the other person's point of view.

Hi magma1984,

I don't feel that my refractory period has changed in me. Just that the ejaculation event via masturbation so far seems to have lost it intensity and satisfaction compared to a hands free super-T with Aneros inserted. I do feel like I am getting better at understanding what the feelings in my prostrate are, and what they mean.

zaneblue,

It makes sense what you have written. I find it always enlightening when you post, as it gives us the female point of view.
Thanks.

Love is Peace

ummm....zaneblue, thanks for pointing that out, but that was kind of the joke - forgive my light hearted banter, I do understand that a ritual helps to put people 'in state', I was simply pointing out , in a light hearted way, that it can raise expectations and have the exact opposite effect....a la serotonin imbalance. There's something inherently sad about having to explain your own joke....oh well.

In fact, if you read some of my other posts, I talk a lot about how I discovered aneros, which came shortly after sustained study and practice of meditation, hypnosis and putting myself into altered states of consciousness to make the body simulate the process of orgasm.

I know you were joking! 😛 I like your writing style

Don't mind me, I just jump at any chance to talk about brain chemistry. 🙄

that's quite alright zaneblue, your comments are most welcome, especially on my posts! 😆

was having a pretty rough day yesterday...ironically my seratonin levels were probably a liitle skewed which resulted in a bad session last night - serves me right 😉

Sometimes the new "related discussions" section tosses up some great stuff, don't you think?

i agree, dingus. i think he is right that many of us on here are sorta sex addicts. can't get enuf. i own that myself anyway. spend far too much time on sex.

Like these guys?

[email protected] speak for yourself, I have been married for many years and due to medical reasons have not been getting any for a long time. I will not cheat so have to go without. Only my hand to love me:)Miss aneros has changed things and she will hopefully get better with time.
😀

braveneworldI definitely admire u and anyone who will not cheat in a committed relationship, and u have my utmost sympathy for the medical reasons that prevent u "getting any for a long time." Actually i suffer (and i don't use the word litely) from ED. However i got a lot if not enuf from Aneros and Mangina. However i have met a guy and we really have gotten a lot from kissing, cuddling, hugging, etc., etc. We have a NSA and not LTR, butt neither of us wud be with another. On the other hand, since neither of us can host, it is putting a strain on things, because i feel the need for more opportunities for physical contact, so i don't know where this is going to go. Can't keep paying for motel.
