Hi guys, I'm back after a fairly long hiatus which somewhat forced me to take on more of a "beginner's mindset" regarding the whole Aneros super-O experience. It's a fairly paradoxical thing where my expectations are really high and at the same time, I don't really worry about the session's outcome, maybe it evens out ? 😏
Anyway, while the results are not truly there, I have a lot of hindsight to fall back on and I get to confirm some theories I had, while some others end up being complete baloney. One thing I always felt was true but that I was too far ahead to verify is that a Super-O can start to happen at any level of pleasure or involuntaries, or even without any involuntary movement at all. That's truly the case. I feel like we tend to think that it's too early for a Super-O because x,y, and z are not happening yet, or at least, things don't feel good enough to get into Super-O territory and therefore, we need to build up more. Which is the worst thing ever if you haven't had many, many Super-Os as a point of reference, and still quite bad even if you have. For someone who has not experienced "it" yet, it could be the thing that's preventing further progress and that's also true for those who feel they might have "gotten lucky" once or twice and cannot get back there.
Years ago I wrote that it was better to get it out of the way and get an easy success as early as possible in a session, going from "not a super-o" to "maybe the smallest Super-O ever" and build from there, rather than getting stuck on the highway and never taking an exit because it does not feel like the right destination yet. While this was more like an intuition back then, now I can confirm that at least for me, it's the most productive way to approach things. The bar for "Super-o" needs to be as low as you can get yourself to accept, regardless of what anyone's else definition might be. How well you are doing compared to some arbitrary level is probably the most useless metric of all and something everyone should get rid of as soon as possible.
