I mostly lurk on these forums, reading posts every once in a while. I'm about 2 years in to using Aneros products. Probably well over 100 sessions. In those, I only got hints of orgasmic sensations twice. they involved the quick heart-rate increase and a warm feeling of "falling" in to "something". But they only lasted a few seconds and then vanished. All other session varied from duds to mildly pleasurable, or enhanced traditional orgasms.
But last night I finally had a bit of progress! I had been a faith-full subscriber to the "do nothing" technique. Trying very hard to do nothing at all. Or, the very light 10% contraction technique. Despite many session in various positions, nothing much happened.
So last night I decided I wanted to start trying something new. go the opposite direction. My goal was to treat it more like exercise. I started with usual relaxing and then with the Eupho Syn, did a set of 100 full in and out contractions. Then, full contraction at 90-100% for as long as I could over 4 minutes I think. not much happened, but I was feeling good.
I took a break, relaxed more, watched some vids (not porn, no porn this night). Just feeling chill. I then inserted the Helix Syn and took a healthy toke on some good weed. Laying on my back, pillow under butt, legs bent, feet flat. Just breathing calmly. After a bit I then went for a strong PC based contraction, somewhere between 80-100%. My intention was to treat it like an exercise and simply hold that level of contraction for 5 minutes, with no other goal. To my delight, I started hitting the spot. A ball of warm gooey "good feeling" was appearing in my pelvis. I did nothing but HOLD the hard contraction, right on that spot and breathe. Not increasing or decreasing the contraction at all. I also in my mind focused hard on the good feeling and even thought over and over "it feels good". The sensation grew as I held the contraction. It started to "wave" up and down, getting stronger. It then felt like sort of like I was ejaculating over and over, and my contraction "broke" and the device started dancing in and out, massaging the spot. It was a stronger sensation then I'd ever felt, making me whimper in pleasure and even want to cry. The best I can describe it is similar to the feeling right before traditional ejaculating, where you are "over the edge" and there's a rush towards ejaculating but you don't and it keeps going like that. Still, I felt somewhat in control, like "hand in hand" with what my body was wanting to do. I did not completely lose control and get swept away but rather rode it out in sync with the device / prostate etc. It lasted for ... I don't know 5 minutes maybe. I took a break and soon got another wave which was less intense but still "something". I later tried the Progasm, but it was less effective.
Things I learned: (These are not objective truths, just think I think I know.)
- If what you are doing isn't working, do something else! Everyone is different.
- The "do nothing" technique was uhhh, doing nothing for me. I feel this is because I simply wasn't touching the prostate at all, and there was no "spark". I feel it's highly likely we all have different anatomy to a degree. I mean, we all have differently shaped dicks right?
- Marijuana helps. I'm in Oregon, it's legal. I know it's not for everyone, but the "proper" level of high is an enhancer. The proper level for me is baked, but not to the point of where you lose concentration and go off on little head trips. You need that concentration and a calm lucid mind. Less thought the better.
- I finally realized the goal is to contact and massage the prostate. Continually and very precisely. Like a dance. All other techniques, contractions etc simply are tools to achieve this goal. Though I realize, different people approach in different ways.
So, if I can ask the experienced members here, what do you think I experienced, and where you think I am at? Were these the Involuntaries? A mini-o? The beginning (or completely) super-O? I definitely feel like there's more there to access and amplify. (I'd be happy just to get back to this spot though for sure.) In any case, just glad to have made progress!
I'm a long time "do nothing" follower too, since I had some early success with that technique - I figured my search was over. But after re-visiting contraction exercises, I think they can help awaken certain things. You might find you're able to access some of those same sensations more easily in a do-nothing session, and new parts want to twitch. It's completely insane how much my experience has changed. Like I never thought in a million years I'd get any wiring from my nipples, I thought that was only for a handful of especially kinky types. Just saying, it doesn't need to be set in stone, where one thing works and another definitely doesn't, I've gone months with various models doing very little for me... then out of nowhere they're hitting some spot and I'm having a new personal-best session. I've gone about a year or more thinking the Helix Syn was too short for me, but it's a rock star now.
I think if you've hit a peak that you're happy to call an orgasm, it could range anywhere from dry-O to super-O... the definitions are a bit foggy. Having read a large number of "Was that a super-O?" threads, there are no strict criteria for saying which is which. I'm in pretty much the same boat, I've had things that were beyond traditional orgasms, but I can still feel something bigger beyond the horizon, a sensation so profoundly large and deep, that it makes me doubt whether what I've felt before was a super-O at all. That deeper sensation has been visiting me more and more, but I don't feel like it has ever really left the launch pad in the same way my dry-orgasms have. That sense of having triggered something in my nervous system that is now dumping pleasure on me. The thought of triggering the deeper sensation in that way, is actually a little scary.
I guess you never know how far the pleasure goes until you get there... which is probably why it's hard to tell someone whether they experienced a super-O or not. I've had a number of sessions I would have described (at the time) as the greatest sexual pleasure I've ever felt. But it's only the greatest until a new, even better one happens. And when one personal best tops your previous one... it makes you question how far this ride goes.
The whimpering sounds like a good time though! Congratulations on your progress.
