Using the HELIX properly........important

would you be kind enough to provide the link to rummel's advice to proper insertion of the helix? i'd be very grateful.

so would i. thanks

I've been hitting sort of a glass ceiling with my Helix. It feels like it's been really hard to get a light touch from it, as if it sits to forceful against the prostate. It's starting to make me think I should get myself an MGX. I found this post when searching around for a different post I remember seeing, sort of a Helix vs. MGX topic.

I'd like to know what Rummel's Helix recommendation was. If anyone else has other advice, I'll kindly take that as well.

Here's a procedure that works for me with either the MGX or Helix This isn't a matter of just getting it in there. It's a matter of it "floating" once positioned. Here's my test for either the Helix or MGX....

Insert only to the mid-ridge, letting the tool be drawn inward with little to no external force. Gentle guiding. No shoving! Gain p-tab contact by using a couple of easy anal contractions and not by manually positioning it. Relax. Check the p-tab position. If that's OK, leave the handle alone. If p-tab isn't right, pull the tool outward to at least the mid-ridge and allow it to suck back in, only guiding to change direction. Allow your bod to "mate" with the tool.

Then, relax completely with NO contraction. Inhale a small/shallow belly breath (rather than a chest breath.) That little breath should move the tool without any muscule moves or repositioning by you. If not, you need to reconsider prep, lube and/or relaxation. When you have it working this way, it meets the criteria of "floating" as expressed in the Wiki.

I found that the whole 'fit' of these tools evolved slowly over the last 4 months as I gained PC muscle tone and bulk. It took time and is probably still changing! Wasn't a 'sudden' process for me.

Thanks Rook, I'll have to give this a try when I have some spare time. I find sometimes that the Helix seems to come out too far. I think this may just have to do with the level of relaxation.

At one point in the past I was doing a ton of PC exercises, and I think it kind of affects that muscle's ability to relax. Sometimes it squeezes the prostate too much, or twitches at a slight touch of the glans when I'd rather it just stayed relaxed. I haven't done any in the past few months and noticed an improvement however.
