I have no children yet but it's on the horizon quite soon.
We are lucky enough to have discovered a wonderful part of male pleasure that so many men don't even know exists or thinks is "gay".
Would love to know from men with or without children as to whether they would explain to their son (at an appropriate age) about prostate pleasure and the aneros.
Personally I think I would explain that the prostate is the male version of the g-spot and that men can have incredible pleasure from it. I'd probably broach it at a basic level during the "birds and the bees" conversation as he becomes a teenager - as it's at this age that all the shame and homophobia around male anal play starts to come in.
Whether or not I'd tell him directly about aneros when he's 18 is another matter. I think I probably would - I don't think there is any shame in discussing and being open about sexuality with ones children.
I think it would be a good way to bring up an open minded and accepting child.
That said I don't have children yet so would love to hear from those who do and their thoughts on this.
Has anyone already talked to their son about this stuff?
There is an extensive thread on this subject. Others may be able to reference it. My searching on the tablet is hopeless
@isvara. Perhaps you are referring to the "Telling your Friends" thread started by Gilman in 2013. There are some good expositions of the pros and cons, but nothing specifically about telling one's sons. With my youngest of 4 boys now 25, I have thought about letting them know about MMO and Aneros, but, then again, my boys and I have not had a buddy buddy relationship when it comes to sex, beyond the basics and issues of responsibility that a parent needs to discuss with their children. Never issues of technique or things like that. But I would like them to know that this exists and at some point, I would not be surprised if I did explain the concept and the device. "Dad? you put what in your ass?"
We'll see.
I am in the same situation! To tell or not to tell...that IS the question!

My two cents... How would you have felt if your dad handed you a progasm and said "shove this up your arse, son". I'd have run a mile.
I have an 18 year old son I couldn't risk our relationship on the off chance he might take it up and be cool with it.
I just don't think it's worth the risk, things can't be unsaid.
Best to drop hints about prostate health and let him discover it for himself.
neros,
This topic has previously been discussed on the Forum. You may find these two threads CONTROVERSIAL QUESTIONS!! & Should we teach our boys reaching puberty the benefits of MMO, prostate massage, kuma sutra? particularly informative and enlightening.
Good Vibes to You !
@rumel thanks will check that out!
@Bunk yeah I think you are right. I think probably what I'd do would be just explain to them as they grow up and start asking sex questions that girls have a clitoris which is anatomically their "penis" and they have a spot inside their vagina called a "g-spot" both of these give different types of pleasure. And boys have the penis and the prostate which is reached via the anus. And that enjoying the prostate isn't gay.
And I'd probably leave it at that. If they are brought up without sexual shame and a knowledge that the prostate is a pleasure area then I'm sure they'll find their own way to it.
here is a possible way to approach this, in the vein of general sex education for your son.
give him this book: http://www.amazon.com/ESO-Lover-Extended-Sexual-Orgasm/dp/0446677620
it is the way i learned, 20 years ago, about prostate stimulation, plus a wealth of other stuff.
as i look back on my personal sexual trajectory, i DO wish i had better sex education. it wasn't until i was well along the path that i even knew about the idea that going slow was worthwhile.

I think we all should forge or own paths. I may leave the aneros home page or wiki open on my computer....kind of like finding my dads playboys under his bed.
When I entered adolescence fifty plus years ago, discussion of sexual matters were taboo at home. Both my parents were raised Victorians on this one issue. My father was ashamed to give me the facts of life. My mother was a prude and condemning. Things loosened up a great deal after my sister gave married in July 1965.
So I went to the town library and found out for myself.
Things are different now. Many schools have sex education courses. I am sure I would found the book, ESO, Lover Extended Sexual Orgasm, suggested by @Darwin, both helpful and informative!
If I had a son, I would tell him about the function of the prostate and prostate health. I may even tell him about the benefits of the Aneros.
But I have a question:
