Hello-
So I've been trying with my progasm on-and-off for about two years now. Early on, there wasn't much to speak of. I just would would put it in for an hour or two (I have hypnerosession) and feelings were vaguely pleasurable... But I would finish myself off with it in and that would be obviously better than normal.
For the past three months or so I've been more consistent and have learned some things. Lately, I've been getting MUCH more interesting feelings. Yesterday was probably the best. I've read some things about smoking pot before a session... I don't smoke regularly, but I managed to get a little a from a stoner buddy. I can't say whether it's helped or not. I think it has to some extent. Anyway, my session yesterday was interesting because there were moments when, for the first time, I could really feel and almost see my prostate in my mind's eye. The problem was that these moments of great pleasure were on verge of me falling asleep. It probably happened five times. I would almost start to dose off and I would get this incredibly intense feeling in my prostate. As I noticed this feeling it would almost instantly disappear because because of an uncontrollable reaction to contract. Which, in turn, 'woke' me back up and the feeling was gone. It was very frustrating. It was almost as if the very moment I acknowledged the pleasure, I would be back at square one.
The logical response is, 'don't acknowledge it.' Obviously, I tried that. It seems impossible to ignore. When I couldn't ignore it, bam, hard contraction, feelings gone.
I used to creep these forums quite frequently and I seem to remember similar topics... of course, now I can't find them. Which brings me to my questions:
What are some techniques to grab onto these feelings without destroying them?
Will I just get used to them?
Why does it seem these feelings are only happening when I'm half asleep?
Any advice/links to other posts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I've experienced the same thing, too. Except without indulging in pot. Many times I would be on the cusp of slumber, when the Aneros would suddenly become active, I would feel intense feelings from my prostate, which would jerk me into consciousness, ruining both the moment and the sensations. For three hours last night I went through those infernal cycles and ended up pulling my Helix out just to get some sleep. It would be nice to have the sensations hit after entering the sleep paralysis stage, so I wouldn't jerk awake with a start at the edge of sleep. And I've been at this for about four years, with some progress, but a lot of regression.
The sensation is very much like when you are just drifting off to sleep, and you may have a dream of falling (hence the term, "falling to sleep?"), and being jerked into consciousness upon or just before impact. I don't know if you can get over them, because they are a normal part of falling asleep.
I believe the feelings happen in the half-conscious stage of sleep, is because your mind is unencumbered with reality and inhibitions, and the body is relaxed. The sudden thrusting sensations stimulate the body too much to remain relaxed, and thusly, you are jerked awake, losing all you accomplished in that half-sleeping state.

Have you tried using it earlier in the day(morning/afternoon)?
