Stimulation..

@Tommygunn great question. I know you are going to get many opinions on this. When I lay down to ride, I relax as much as possible, but I don't really focus on anything in particular. During the times when pleasure is just starting or not much is perceivable, my mind tends to wander: work, hobbies, tv shows, whatever pop in to my mind. I don't really try to derail my wandering thoughts. As pleasure ramps up my mind sometimes drifts to someone pleasuring me or engaging in hot sex acts. But when the incredibly intense dry orgasms hit, nothing else matters and I am zoned in on the pleasure. In this way, my pleasure controls my thoughts, not the other way around. I have no control over the pleasure my body chooses to bless me with, so I approach my thinking the same way. Again, there are men here that hit incredibly high pleasure plateaus by doing everything the opposite of how I just described it. This is just my experience.

One last thought on the subject: Whenever I have tasted a Super Orgasm, my inner mind monologue just STOPS. I have no control over that. My body hits me with this immense tidal wave and much as a person who witnesses something too magnificent to describe, I simply float on this pleasure tsunami and there is no thinking whatsoever. It's really a confusing, miraculous state of mind that my will and conscious mind have absolutely nothing to do with.

[USER="58120"]Neveryman[/USER] great answer bud.

What does everyone think about during a session?

I don't know what everyone thinks about during an Anerosession but I know my thoughts are often all over the place as mind noise is an ongoing complication for me.

Watch porn?

I don't watch porn because I find it too distracting from actually focusing on the pleasure my body is generating.

Fantasise in your head?

Occasionally sexual fantasies will spontaneously arise from my subconscious and spur on my arousal which does often lead to orgasm but it seems if I try to consciously construct a fantasy it is not as effective as too much mental energy is spent focusing on the fantasy construction and not enough energy spent on enjoying the pleasure.

Think nothing?

I can't recall any times when I don't think anything, however, on those occasions when I am experiencing a Super-O, I am in an altered state of consciousness, sense of time is distorted, my ego is suppressed acting as an objective observer while my Id is reveling in the sensations my body is producing. It is a strange duality of perception but quite a peaceful one where the mind noise is non-existent.

Are there those who think about non erotic things?

Yeah, this is part of the mind noise problem.

... when the incredibly intense dry orgasms hit, nothing else matters and I am zoned in on the pleasure. In this way, my pleasure controls my thoughts, not the other way around. I have no control over the pleasure my body chooses to bless me with, so I approach my thinking the same way.... Whenever I have tasted a Super Orgasm, my inner mind monologue just STOPS.

I pretty much agree with this description except I know I can stop this process at any time but I DON'T WANT TO ! Unfortunately, the mind noise problem can occur as well and shuts down the session too soon.
Good Vibes to You !

I usually focus on the feelings that are going on in my prostate, or visualize the action of the massager. Occasionally I'll fantasize about an erotic situation, but I have to be in the right kind of mood for that. Sometimes when a session seems to die down and I can't get it back on track via the usual techniques, I'll actually take a break. I'll get out my smart phone and start checking out Facebook or something. Strangely, in a fairly short amount of time the good feelings return!

I preface this with the advice that we are all wired differently. What follows is what is best for me. Earlier in the day before a session, I will either sext with someone or watch porn. Ideally sexting juices me the most. Then at night before bed I will spend an hour or so in my offices writing erotica that specifically is focised on a fantasy from a previous ession, a dream or sexting dialogue.
The writing is targeted at my personal idiosyncrasies and sexual proclivities so it arouses me more than anything else. Since I do most of my sessions early morning, I will then instigate an A Less session right after I get into bed. Invaraibly I will have a sexy dream which will prime me for my early morning session at 4-5 AM. Sometimes I will have them earlier.

I have been on my Aneros journey close to seven years now. After my big breakthroughs with bona fide Super-O's and MMO's in mid September 1996, I have focused all Aneros sessions on the delicious sensations Aneros produces for me, on relaxation, and the beauties of my Aless! I am seldom disappointed! 😉

I avoid porn during Aneros - doesn't do much for me.

Sometimes I will listen to spa music app - it's is nice and my mind wanders.

I have a few self-guided audios that I made for myself that walk me through tying up a bondage partner. It's too short however so I need to extend it, but it's a nice slow way to focus on the sexy things I really like to think about.

i've thought about writing erotica (an occasional hobby) beforehand - interesting to see that suggestion - may have to try that!

But mostly, I try to visualize what's happening inside me. I see the bumps on the Aneros sliding over my prostate.

On two occasions those visualizations morphed into visions of geometric shapes. One was hexacons stacking on a digital version of my penis to my heartbeat... each hexagon send out a flash of light as it landed with each heartbeat... was sooo cool! In another it was like fractals... during those visions is when I had the most intense sessions 🙂

Good times... Hmmm I may need a session now.

Yes,I’ve found porn doesn’t do much,more distracting than anything,I just wondered if guys do the Aneros trick without some form
of sexual stim.. And now I have my answers,thanks all.. 😀

Recently I've tried putting on a sleep mask, one of those things you wear over your eyes to sleep in lighted areas. I guess
like someone losing their sight and their hearing gets better this really increased sensations.

I want to find some very comfortable and effective ear plugs to block out any sounds in the area. I've tried some foam type
and they were okay but not for long wear. Softer ones did not block enough sound. When I had ear plugs in it enhanced
my session too.

I think your body tends to pay more attention to the strongest sensory input. Covering ears and eyes seems to make my
prostate the strongest sensation.

I use my imagination!

I start out with porn but once I get to super-O which is fairly quick nowadays I just go with my immagination.

@NewJoyToy my wife snores like a bear. These earplugs are not only comfortable, they block an insane amount of sound. You may wish to play around with the best way to insert them: I roll them thin between my fingers and plug them in far, but not so far i cannot get them out again. I hold them in until they expand a bit, and over the next few minutes they puff out and create a sweetly quiet environment. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FY4H16F/ref=dp_prsubs_1

Thanks for the tip.

I normally start either by reading some erotic tales or by making up my own in my mind. This helps me out to heat me up and to get noise out of my mind. During this time, I do not do any contractions or other movements - I just let it be. When I start feeling good vibrations in my pelvis, I stop the tale thing and start focusing on them. I can't go on with the reading or thinking on tales, because I find it hard to focus on them and on the sensations at the same time.

I use my meditation skills to keep my mind as still as possible and then let the aneros do its work.

Binaural beats, or porn audio (not video, my eyes are usually rolling into the back of my head anyway)
