Personally, I don't see anything "womanly" about it at all.
Just because most people aren't used to the concept doesn't make it womanly. You just have to change your mindset and think of prostate orgasms as "manly" in order for it to seem manly. In other words, what you perceive is ALL in your mind and is highly subjective.
In fact, prostate orgasms OCCURS in the male body, therefore, it's considered a male orgasm. Period.
@DukeMania: There are exceptions to the rule of course, but I'd say in general gender roles are fixed and from what I know about homosexuals even they have 'tops' and 'bottoms'.
I think it's also the default position of the psyche of a human being that when the receptive (-) side of the sexuality gets triggered that one accommodates this(if one can) by acting feminine, affectatiously giving voice to the pleasure one's receiving. Nature can't know everything so if often presumes, apparently when a girl reaches a certain weight she goes thru puberty, default:times must be good; get ready for procreation and if a woman gets flooded with testosterone she'll start acting manly.
Receptive is feminine, it's nature's default position
@DukeMania, interesting question. I feel the word "womanly" creates the wrong idea. It would seem as if no human is completely male or female. Even some folk with the genitals of one may think like the other. So ideally in the male there is the capacity to be gentle and nurturing. Likewise, though culture does not give the opportunity, so with the other gender to be aggressive risk taking.
I certainly don't see my Aneros use as a gender female activity, though even my mild experience engender a wide vision (female) experience of life. I don't equate Aneros use as feminine at all.
I consider prostate orgasms as womanly because in order to achieve that, you have to completely surrender yourself to your pleasure, which for us, male, ego driven beast, is something quite alien.
Now everything is up to our interpretation, which is in turn is up to our culture and how we were raised, but, at least, that's how I see it.
Well, that's just from your perspective. Because from the way I see it, it's completely different.
In other cultures (especially Japan) being submissive to pleasure isn't feminine or womanly at all. But I guess in American culture it's perceived as that way.
So really, it depends on your culture and how you were raised.
My point still stands that prostate O's happens in the male body, so that in itself makes it "manly".
Labels, labels, labels...where will it end? (Lighten Up!)
I understand our tendency to need to make sense of our experience by assigning the various experiences in this journey with labels and categories.
However...The male exploration of the ability to have a different type of orgasm is no more female than it is male...which means it's a human experience...grounded in our physiology and our under utilized brain.
What we are really doing, in my opinion, is learning how to become more AWARE of what already exists within our own body!
Now...to take this concept to the next level...I, as I'm sure many of you, have had unexplainable events, such as déjà vu, or thinking about someone only to have them call you moments later, or even a dream that comes true...and we attribute these events to random coincidences...BUT ARE THEY? I don't know the answer, but I've personally experienced enough of these types of events over my 54 years to believe they are not coincidences!
So, now you know what motivates me to continue this journey for the rest of my life...exploration of what I believe is a connection that we just need to become AWARE of that which occurs naturally within ourselves!

I totally agree, except, man does have a feminine side but that's not a limitation it's an expansion, it's in the + - where the magic happens, that's just a fact of life and it can be applicable to your experience
Totally agree!

This is likely my fault from the post I made, stating that multiple-orgasms (and by proxy, prostate orgasms) could be considered womanly.I agree. Multiple orgasms occur in both men and women — that in itself should be a large enough indicator that it isn't tied to a specific gender.
My point previously was more towards how an average man might view it. But I don't know, it's an uneducated guess. It's simple presumption. Maybe I was riding on the basis that penile ejaculation has a refractory period — so once he orgasms, it's done and over.
WOMANLY ! What! What is so womanly about a man enjoying the hidden depths of his own body. This kind of thinking will prevent one from attaining the most exquisite superlative orgasms known to man.
Of course it is womanly... Then what? Why would it be a problem?
We're all part hermaphrodites anyway.
Hermaphrodite my ass!
To be a hermaphrodite, you need to have BOTH male and female reproductive parts.
The last time I checked... males do not have a vagina, womb, and fallopian tubes.
I believe as a man we have a feminine side to us as well as our masculine side. The left side of the body represents the feminine side and the right represents the masculine side, and as a man its your right to learn to balance these two energies as one. I also believe in our society today we as free men suppress these feelings because we are worried about what people may think about our sexual orientation. The truth of the matter is it's who you sleep with that makes you heterosexual, or homosexual and by insertion of the Aneros I also believe we get to access this feminine side we often don't see. By surrendering your body to pleasure does not determine your turning into a woman your just accessing this feminine side you knew you never had. So enjoy the ride.
The way Aneros use has changed my perception of porn to me is also compelling proof that passive sexuality stimulation does indeed activate the feminine side of man. Before I intuited this by the common sense notion of man being +/-
It is actually a problem in a way if you are heterosexual coz women have page after page on tumblr with audioporn, i.e. moaning men. It appears that women, like myself since I've been using the Aneros, have a disgust for most porn and also prefer to close their eyes and listen to arousing moans.
And marijuana only exacerbates the feminine, good for Aneros use but like Orgasmic19 said, balance is key.
Hermaphrodite my ass!

I guess what @canacan meant is, that the genitals of man and woman develop from the very same tissue in the first place. You can interpet that as not being differently, but just developing a bit differently.
Secondly, I get the feeling that our insisting on the male nature of things, reveals some incertainty of you. No offence intended, but as @canacan, said: even if prostate play/orgasms are considered somehow womanly... so what? Do you maybe feel downgraded or insecure about that? You don't have to! We are all human and the distinction of being male/female is not only physical but also psychological.You should rather embrace your female side than sealing it off. That makes you not less of a man.
This discussion reminds me alot of that whole #nohomo bullshit going around recently. This massive fear of being labeled this or that seems to be quite a thing in the US atm... something I really can't comprehend 🙂
Yeah I don't really understand all the labels. You are who you are and people should be or do whatever makes them happy. I don't understand how prostate play could be considered womanly when it is part of the male anatomy. This world is full of sexual hang ups and people are terrified of being labeled a certain way. I say who cares what other people think and just be who you are.
I'm gay, but don't really take offense to any of the nohomo stuff or people just joking around by saying gay or fag, although I'm not the type to be easily offended. If it was used in a derogatory sense or out of anger, then yeah it would piss me off. I think there is a pretty big difference in a guy telling another guy he likes his abs and saying nohomo, and seeing two guys holding hands outside and yelling a derogatory term. JMO.
Nothing is manly or womanly. Everything is merely human.
