The Science of Aless

Aren’t all sensations we feel a mix between stimulus and perception of stimulus? If you concentrate on any part of your body where there are nerve ending, you can become aware of it, because it is constantly subject to some sort of stimulus. Even when we think we are still, there is still light muscle movement present (think about when you hold your hand out and it naturally shakes lightly), blood pumping, cold or heat... so there is always stimulus, and we (re-wired folk) have taught ourselves to be in tune to the these microstimuli and even find great pleasure in them. Like looking at something under a microscope and discovering an entire microcosm, we are taking these micro-sensations and amplifying their many contours and subtleties.

Personally when I do aless, I am aware that there is muscle movement going on. Like if I imagine a hand reaching inside me and caressing me, there is surely accompanying movement going on, no matter how subtle. And add to that my accompanying reaction to these subtle stimuli— eyes rolling back, moaning, tending of other muscles, OR the intentional relaxation of those muscles— and I have a symphony of subtle sensations to observe. The confusingly benign term “aless”, hides the fact that both on the stimulus side and on the perception side there is actually a lot going on.

i am not aware of any scientific research but I am drinking a tasty coffee and enjoying my pseudoscientific morning musings.

How is this possible? I know there haven't been enough studies about prostate orgasms in general, but what is the mechanism responsible for this result?

@Anerospore I think you can find some of the answers if you study the concepts of conditioning and neuroplasticity. I wrote a post on the latter some years ago, Neuroplasticity - the science behind rewiring. In this post you will find some links that might be helpful.

Hey @Anerospore ,

Just by thinking about the pleasure of prostate stimulation I am achieving mind bending orgasms. How is this possible? I know there haven't been enough studies about prostate orgasms in general, but what is the mechanism responsible for this result?

I try to keep it as short as I can. Since there is little to no scientific backing, this is 100% speculation.

What is an orgasm?
The first step to answer your question is to get a proper idea of what an orgasm actually is. IMHO science is not there yet. Sex researches in the last decades mostly concentrated on easy-to-measure but secondary symptoms, like heart-rate, temperature, breathing and the like...

In my book, orgasm is primarily a neuronal / nervous-system phenomenon. Why is that important? The nervous system builds and forms your reality. All what you can sense and all what you are able to act out with your body - that's your nervous system doing it's thing.

I think all nerves in your body are capable of orgasmic behavior (hence full body orgasms). I think, arousal, pleasure waves and eventually orgasm are all just different stages of oscillation in your nervous-system. When you masturbate your penis in a traditional way (good ol' up and down motion) you are feeding your nervous system with a forced oscillation (think of a swing, that you have to push with the right timing). If enough nerves oscillate in the same manner at the same time, some places in your body notice that something sexual is going on (brain, spine and inner sex organs). The amplitude then grows due to resonance (often called a neuronal feedback loop). When the amplitude hits a certain threshold, these places trigger reflexes. Your inner sex organs trigger ejaculation (a reflex), your spine triggers a traditional (rather located) penile orgams (also a reflex). These reflexes seem to be tied to a specific nerve cluster: your genitals. My educated guess is, that's because they have a direct connection for communication and don't need re-routing via the brain to react to genital input.

So, when you oscillate other nerves, you get different results. The only crucial part is, that you need a decent amount of nerves to be involved in the first place. That's why big nerve clusters are better suited for that than other random places of your body (ever wonderd why genitals are so rich in nerve endings?). When tantrists / daoists talk about chakras, they mean exactly that - specific places where it's easy to build up "energy": pelvic floor, belly, solar plexus, heart, forehad, crown...

Why is it possible to orgasm with a-less / mere thought?
I bet you never asked yourself this question regarding moving your limbs, did you? But it's the same magical thing: you think it, you nervous system acts it out for you. There are several different parts of our nervous system with different tasks, like the autonomous system regulating all the things you don't can (and don't have to) control manually Like digesting, heartbeat and the like. And the part we are dealing here is our sensory nervous system. We are just used to the fact, that we have no access to it, but in fact we do! It's kind of a body hack. Like you are able to manually breath (although most of the time you just forget about it and it's on autopilot), you are able to spark sensations in your sensory nervous system at will.

Why does hardly anybody can pull this off?

• nobody knows
• it's not exactly easy to learn
• it takes time and practice
• very few are just lucky

Conclusion
So what you are doing and training with the aneros is active receiving. Which btw, resolves the biggest misconception about sex in current history: receiving is not a passive act. Sadly the whole world believes this. And from there all the problem arise like in a domino-chain-reaction:

• If receiving is passive, the receiver can't do anything about it.
• If the receiver can't do anything, than it must be the giver being responsible for literally everything.
• If there is no orgasm, than it's the giver to be blamed.
• That's why nowadays having "good sex" only revolves around being a good giver, not on being a good receiver.

Ever wonderd why some women can orgasm from intercourse but the vast majority can't. Ever wondered why the G-Spot is so controversial, with some women literally vowing on it while others think it's patriarchal pipedream for tricking and shaming women? Guess what, they have differently developed receiving skills without being aware of it.

Tl;Dr: Being able to meditate / a-less yourself to orgasm is the top end (thus mastery) of active receiving.

Just by thinking about the pleasure of prostate stimulation I am achieving mind bending orgasms. How is this possible? ... what is the mechanism responsible for this result?...how is it possible to do this for p-gasms?

As @Pavlov noted the mechanism which makes this possible is our inherent neuroplasticity combined with self induced classical conditioning. Through use of your Aneros device you learn how to use your internal muscles combined with sensate focus to generate sensations which feed to the brain. Your mind (both conscious and subconscious) makes an interpretation of these sensations and chooses to place pleasure values on them. Those sensations generating the greater pleasure values get higher releases of dopamine thus encouraging repetitive behavior to generate more dopamine. This partially explains the addictive nature of Aneros use. During this learning process the Aneros device (the initial stimulus) is being manipulated by your internal muscles via conscious and subconscious intent to produce desired sensations, thus the device is only a small part of the associative conditioning occurring, most of the associative conditioning is occurring as muscle memory and retained perceived memories in the neurocircuitry of the brain.

I believe this is what @divine_oblivion was referring to. At some point, for many men, they have built up enough muscle memory and neurocircuitry in the brain that exercise of those neurocircuits combined with their muscle memory can elicit sensations similar, if not identical, to those sensations generated when the Aneros device was actually present. This is what makes Anerosless orgasmic sessions possible.
Good Vibes to You !

Wow guys, thanks for the incredible responses. I really feel like I have a better grasp here on what's going on, and now I'm starting to wonder if its possible to generate orgasms across the other chakras in the same manner as with the 'sacred' spot. Time to start exploring... 🙂
