The Next Step

My thinking is that it has to do with new peaks, and astonishment. What I mean is that when you hit a new type of pleasure with greater intensity then you've currently experienced, you tend to marvel at it, catalog it, or wonder about it. When you give in to your astonishment, you tend to forget about what comes next. Don't expect it to come back, because it never will.. or not in the same form.

If you can, maybe try anchoring your attention on something next time, for longer. Could be somewhere on your body or and image or sound. It's hard! I definitely struggle with focus, but I've learned to notice points when I'd marvel too much, then expand past it, into new peaks. I'm no expert, but I think this problem you have never truly ends.

Over all, best to further open your mind. Welcome to it.

When it’s happening is the time to really let go. It’s difficult in the beginning to stop the mind zeroing in on new discoveries but that’ll get better with experience.

But if you came for around a minute,that’s already a pretty big deal,since a TO is about 5 seconds lol. You have to have humility and be grateful for whatever is given,greed needs checked as more often than not,it messes you up.

Wisdom in both replies above! Remember this is a journey. You can't always see the path forward or back to where you just came from. You are not alone.

It sounds like you aren't having much trouble getting there, but you are having difficulty staying there. A few things I read back when that helped me was 1) memory of the pleasure filled sensations can help to bring the sensation on in the present. 2) the experience of a super-o, mini-o, pleasure wave, what have you, sets you up to have another one.

I dabbled with aneros for over ten years before I ever made any real progress (totally my own fault! ), but the the big one hit. I mean totally ground shaking life changing true to its name SUPER O, and then nothing. Nothing. Months went by and there was nothing. Honestly over a year before it got good again, and now, almost two years out from the big one, I have made enormous progress and as of lately made it back to consistent super-o experiences. It has been a wonderful ride.

The thing that I finally had to do to back off the expectations and pleasure blocks was to go back to the basics of good lube, insert the aneros, relax, and just focus on any pleasure I could sense. I often fell asleep relaxing, and then woke up approaching orgasm. I guess it was a modified do nothing method. Just focusing on pleasure no matter how faint. The eupho was a wonderful partner in this because it so small, maybe like a woman using a jade yoni egg. 

I'm not sure what device you are using, but I found the larger ones are great for training your body because you feel it more, and your muscles have more to work with until you are toned and tuned in more to the sensations. Then, next session use a smaller device. That helped me out a lot.

If I wake up in anero-rousal mode, it can easily go on for a couple of hours of bliss.

This is valuable advice. Knowing how to savor the pleasure received, even if it is tenuous, is one of the important points of this journey.
At the beginning of my sessions, I mentally thank my massager and my prostate for the pleasure I will soon enjoy. I thank them for the most subtle as well as the most intense pleasure I will receive.

This is true.  I basically have a session for about 15 minutes and the sensations start to come in - heightened excitement, some body shivering, and then slowly I get hard until I get really hard.  I then seem to stay hard for 30 seconds to a minute, occasionally getting jolts to my body, similar to what some people might experience in the end of a really strong traditional orgasm.  Only other sensation I can explain is.. it feels as though my penis is three times its size in width.

Any idea why you lost it?

I'm not sure what device you are using,

I am strictly using a modified Progasm with the second tab chopped off.
