Vaseline + Progasm at night = thumbs up!

So you are saying you leave it in when you sleep?

Hello, unconventional.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, 😉 ...

I've been into the Aneros devices for 4 months. The first 3 months were typical 1 to 2-hour sessions, daily. About a month ago I started sleeping with the Eupho inside all night. That worked well for a number of reasons, like always being ready for sex with my wife. The last 2 weeks since I got the Aneros VICE, I sleep with that model. (Awesome.)

Lube is critical for extended use. I use a thin coating of Vaseline on the tool with as much Olive Oil as I can cover it with after that. If you think Vaseline is too synthetic, a vegetable grease like Crisco would probably work just as well.

Cheers,

Dave

At first I wasn't able to sleep with it in, but lately I've been able to get a good night's rest. It's possible I wasn't getting sleep before because the aneros was really pleasurable then, and now I'm in a period of not so much pleasure. However, last night I was having constant erections with the progasm in and still got sleep. So, it's *more* likely that I'm just becoming more adjusted to sleeping with aneros-induced conditions. I'll have to continue reporting on this. Last night, the aneros also entered my dreams (nothing happened in the dream). But of course it's a very good sign if you dream of the aneros. I strongly believe this could eventually lead to dream-induced orgasms, or possibly waking up to an orgasm.

I'm really not sure if there's any truth to this, but sleeping with the progasm *every* night might have lead to my feeling of constipation, so I took a few days off (feels better now). So, I'll pay attention to this and if someone else can also confirm this, then there might be some truth here.

Dreaming of Aneros? My first super-O started while I was accidentally sleeping with the Helix inside and it woke me up. Talk about a wake-up call. Yikes!

Regarding sleeping with Aneros inserted and constipation, I haven't noticed a correlation. In my experience, that problem is mostly related to diet and exercise schedule.

I often use the helix or prograsm before I go to bed so I often find myself napping a couple of seconds during the end of my sessions but like every other technique it won't make it past low/mid level p-waves. I just don't get how this thing should work on its own. If I don't do anything I can feel some very very subtle bumps of pleasure but it's like I have to do something (not necessarily actively) with them to build bigger waves. If I keep relaxing the waves will stay the same and slowly disappear during the course of my session.

You said, "I just don't get how this thing should work on its own."

I don't think anybody here really means that these lumps of plastic or metal work on their own. Sure, I've often said that the devices seem to have a mind of their own or do their own thing. What's really happening is, my body/brain combo has figured out how to wring pleasure from the device without my conscious intervention. One way to take your active mind out of the picture for a session is to simply go to sleep with the thing inside you. After a few nights of that, your body/brain may figure out on its own how to maximize pleasure.

Best of luck to you, and...

So you're saying we shouldn't ever try to "steer" the sensations by concentration, focus or sth like that (again not necessarily in an active way) and direct our focus completely away from that?

grayfox;

The Aneros experience is so personal and individualized that I can only say what works for me and what might work for others.

The state of mind that lets the Aneros device "do its own thing" is sometimes called Active Awareness. For me, it would be better to call it Passive Awareness. Whatever you call it, that state is one in which you know what's going on, you're highly aware of what's going on, you're focused on what's happening, but you don't step in and do anything about it.

I admit I violate that state when the Eupho starts moving in a way that causes me to have muscle spasms. Then, I do step in and use voluntary contractions to get the Eupho to move the way I prefer. Occasionally, the Eupho is "stubborn" and returns to what it was doing before I interfered. So, I step in again. I've never had to "force" the process this way more than 3 times in a session.

BTW, the VICE is much better behaved and doesn't ever cause the "spazzing out" business, but I do have to step in with voluntary contractions to slow things down when the vibe starts driving involuntary contractions too hard and fast.

Best Regards,

Dave

Yeah, sure, but nothing works for me so I'll try what I can find 😉

grayfox;

When you say nothing works for you, do you mean you have no sensation of anything pressing or touching your prostate during a session? Or, do you mean you feel the massager on your prostate but it's not exciting/pleasurable?

If you can feel the Aneros but the feeling never grows into anything worth talking about, it may simply be a matter of what guys around here call "awakening" the prostate. The Wiki has some tips about how to move the awakening process along. On the other hand, my wife told me that some women never get their G-spot to respond no matter what they do. Could be, some prostates are like that. I don't know what the statistics are or if anyone ever collected any on that topic.

I hope you're among the majority of Aneros users who eventually get satisfaction from it.

Best Regards,

Well, I can definitely feel something and once or twice in my 1 year aneros experience I think I made it to a dry-O but for the most part the sensations will stay at a very low level. I'm also not sure if the massager makes perfect prostate contact (I have a helix and progasm fwiw). The fact that I can get sth out of it probably indicates it but some people talk of a clear tingle when the aneros makes prostate contact.

grayfox;

If you think you had a dry-O, you did. Congrats! That's progress. The fact that most of the time you feel stuck at a low level is another story.

Since you have a Progasm, there's no doubt you've got good prostate contact -- simply a matter of body geometry versus device size. I get the tingle effect about once out of every 5 sessions, so that's not much of a factor in getting more orgasms from the tool. I consider tingles minor things that don't mean much by themselves.

Seems to me, your issue is all about how to get from low level sensations to ones that build into orgasms. I don't know how many of the numerous tips and tricks discussed in the Wiki you've tried. There are so many factors that affect arousal and orgasmic potential that it becomes a trial and error process. Everything from what you eat and drink to medications, physical condition, and environment plays a role.

With any luck, perseverance will pay off for you.

Cheers,

Dave

Keep it up Multi, the pro just requires a little more time to get in, i think!

Well, my sessions have gotten a lot better in the most recent time and funnily enough, the progasm seems to work better than the helix. Again I'm not sure where on the orgasmic scale I've been (probably mini-O if I have to guess) but I can definitely enjoy my sessions now because I'll get so close and I can clearly see some progress.
