To use KSMO to help my overall advancement, do I have to pay the...

Many years ago I wondered the same thing. I'm glad I paid the bucks and joined up. I was able to ask questions and share my progress and get feedback. And I did keep succeeding after that, and it keeps getting better. I was able to afford it, and I'm glad I could help support them.

97 dollars at multiples.com? Or is there another way to find/read/use the info there?

IMHO, membership in Jack Johnston's KSMO forum is well worth the price. Participation in his monthly chat sessions can be a valuable adjunct to the basic protocol. Jack is a very thoughtful and intuitive teacher and professional who truly cares about the success of his members. Your membership fee includes a personal evaluation by him of your KSMO articulation, you won't be able to get that from bootlegged copies of his program nor will you be able to get the one on one attention during the monthly chat sessions. Like the Aneros journey the KSMO path is a continuing journey of learning about yourself and becoming more of the human being you can be. The fact that KSMO beautifully compliments one's Aneros practice is a real bonus.
Good Vibes to You !

I've never regretted taking up Jack's KSMO. Although I used to be a dedicated Aneros user it was the KSMO that gave me the ultimate key to acqiring the ability to have unlimited orgasm experiences at will. No need for any devices or drugs whatsoever! For me it has been one of the best investments I've ever made.

I'm thinking about buying the KSMO Protocol but I'm not exactly sure, if it's the right thing for me. Normally I'm a very quiet guy: Even if I have a Super-O, I don't make a sound, simply because I don't want that my roommates hear it. I might buy the KSMO Protocol, but first I have to find a way to mute the Key Sounds.

I don't think the volume at which the Key Sound is expressed is a big issue. Loud is not necessarily good. Here is a short extract from a conversation on the KSMO forum:

"I was a little apprehensive and nervous in doing this just because I thought it might be a little awkward, what with doing the key sound with someone actually listening and what not. But no, it was very easy and Jack made me feel quite comfortable and we covered some stuff that I think will help my progress."

I've always found during my novice times that a quiet KS was totally effective. I'm a quiet guy too!

the #1 reason you shouldnt buy the ksmo tapes is because they are bullshit. you will not unlock some secret trick. you do not need this to have success with the aneros.
if you really want the files theres a torrent from like 2007 with them in it. ive redownloaded them 3 times and forget every time that i deleted the files instantly because they were so low quality that listening to them made me angry.

I've tended to get louder over the years and that have twice taken advantage of my full membership to improve my diaphragm response. Jack is an excellent breathing coach and far superior to either Kelly Howell or the meditation coach at my HMO's meditation and Yoga sessions.
