What is a P-wave like?

Hi Somejoe,
You must be new to the forum , So am I 🙂
I also get shivers and shakes when I first put in my aneros , almost like a light electrical jolt , this dies down and then happens again when I start doing some
mild contractions. I don,t know if these are P-Waves or not but I'm not complaining , it's something new and feels good. With mine after a short while they get warm and fuzzy not cool as the first time. Maybe one of the more experienced members will tell us.
Nice talking to you

Yeah, they are more warm now and they feel less like shivers. They gotta be P-waves. I find that I can even generate them while normal front stimulation without the helix. I haven't yet done it with the helix and no extra stimulation though. Though I haven't had the chance to use the helix in during recent developments. If feels like that with each breath I can figuratively blow hot coals inside and get them to smolder. Really cool.

Something odd though, I've had waves shoot out into my head, and it gave me a headache. Certainly not migraine level, but enough to last a day. The head waves don't feel sensual in nature. Are these neural energy waves something that I need to learn to control?

Somejoe,

P-waves come in all sizes and shapes, but for me they tend to be warm, surging, tickling and yes sometimes electric. The "P" in P-wave stands for pleasure so they should feel pleasurable. Although you may feel them in your penis, the thing that distinguishes them is that they may be felt in any area of the body. With respect to feeling discomfort in your head, is this something that you are perceiving when the wave is there or does this present itself like a hangover after your session?

when i insert progasm, i dont get any of those things you guys mentioned.....

aneros_user524911,

One does not necessarily experience P-waves immediately, they often develop over time. Furthermore, they are often very subtle and may be overlooked, particularly by new users who are accustomed to having orgasms in one way (through ejaculation). Part of what happens here is that you must learn some new things about your body. Being attentive is key. There are events that occur here on a neural level that take time to develop as well. This is the "awakening" or "re-wiring" that you may have heard about. Read through the WIKI, it will give you some good background on this.

somejoe & aneros_user...,

As 'B Mayfield' said a P-wave is just a shorthand term for Pleasure wave. If you have experienced a traditional ejaculatory orgasm then you have experienced P-waves. There are many types of body stimulation that can generate P-waves and I'm fairly certain you have all experienced these things in the past. Please don't start thinking these are something unique to Aneros use or different from your own knowledge of pleasurable sensations because they aren't. If you interpret particular sensations as pleasurable then those are P-waves.

As 'B Mayfield' also said "P-waves come in all sizes and shapes,..." they also come in a wide variety of intensities. In relation to Aneros use, for the newbie user, the initial sensations being generated through use of your massager may be quite subtle and your mind may not have experienced these sensations before so you may first interpret them as 'uncomfortable', as in being unfamiliar and somewhat strange. This is perfectly normal, it may take a short while for you to associate these feelings as pleasurable but that usually happens fairly quickly. What may take longer, however, is learning to tune into these initial subtle sensations.

An oft heard refrain on this Forum is "Relax", there is a very good reason for this. When you are in a relaxed state of mind and body you can more easily focus attention on the sensations constantly being generated by your body as it signals the various happenings taking place in the living organism that constitutes YOU. Your Aneros massager, when inserted, is a foreign body and your body will sense this and begin to react. This is where your mind comes into play to interpret and help direct the body's reaction. All of your conscious and sub-conscious thoughts about erotic activities are quickly drawn together. It is your attitude about this whole activity which determines how much and to what extent it is pleasurable. The subtle sensations initially generated by the gentle massage action of your Aneros are often ignored, overlooked or dismissed as "nothing happening", "I don't get any of those things...", etc. the sensations are there, it is a matter of fine tuning your mental awareness to a micro level to detect them.

We first learn about our body's pleasure triggers from macro, external stimulation sources when we are babies. Nursing gives us sustenance, satisfaction, relief from hunger and pleasure through our sense of taste. Rubbing and caressing the skin from loving hands gives rise to pleasurable associations through our sense of touch. Later, our auditory senses can be stimulated to pleasurable effect by song and loving talk from our parents. Likewise our visual and olfactory senses develop to provide us mechanisms for interpreting the sensory output from the external, macro world, meanwhile our minds determine which experiences are pleasurable and which are not.

When it comes to prostate massage the newbie is faced with a relatively new phenomenon, namely deriving pleasure from internally generated sensations. Women face a nearly identical learning situation about deriving pleasure from vaginal intercourse. It is a response that can be learned. Since internally generated sensations are inherently different from externally generated ones, a paradigm shift in thinking is necessary to accommodate the differences. One of the reasons for the repeated Penis, NOT! admonition is to help establish this new paradigm.

Thanks B Mayfield and rumel. Very helpful insight. I've read the wiki and the penis not post and I don't focus on the penis.... though oddly enough, I've seem to have the most success using it in order to get my balls aroused (which can generate more intense feeling than my penis), which seems closer in proximity to the prostate. After which I get a very nice pleasurable tightness in the prostate area. But I also try it without the penis as well. Just mixing things around.

As for those waves that go to the brain, definitely not like a strong hangover, more like a mild long lasting headache that can be ignored. The initial feeling isn't bad, but just kind of weird. Though when I do get normal headaches (rarely) they are usually stronger and last days anyways.

Somejoe,

Have you noticed any kind of clenching or spasmodic contraction of your head, neck or upper body while you are experiencing these waves? Is there any other source of discomfort during these times.?

BF Mayfield

Yeah, I think it's the muscle on the back of my head/upper neck. Normally, when it tightens, it takes a long time (even days) before it loosens up. Thanks! that explains it.

@b-mayfield I've also been experiencing neck muscle stiffness and discomfort following prolonged sessions in which I have extended Super-Os. Assume it's related to the continual body spasms accompanying this and/or the position of my head (usually lying on my back w/ head on pillow). Will see if I can find another position to help lessen this, but would appreciate any suggestions.
