Wondering where i am / what i do next...

@pommie, interesting. I have only tried sleeping with my helix a few times, slept horribly. I'll have to try the peridise next time i get into a slump. Thanks!

Peridse sounds good @Pommie, i always thought they weren't really used for prostate stimulation, i was considering the eupho as it might do something different somehow. With regard to the peredise, which one did/do you use as you get two different ones in the packet by the looks of it?

Willing to try your method out defiantly...

Willing to try your method out defiantly...Somebody really needs an attitude adjustment, defiance ain't going to help you out man.

@inhope, you can buy them by the double sets, i believe one is a beginner set and the other advanced, or you can buy all four together. The smaller the end on the peridise the more advanced.

@ineverknew,

I originally obtained the complete set of four "Peristals" from HIH (for treatment and relief from haemorrhoids),and followed their instructions, using each one for a while from the largest down to the smallest.

I now only use the smallest one. Frankly I wouldn't be able to sleep for more than a few minutes with the larger ones. Like you, I couldn't really get any proper sleep at all with a Helix on board, although I have sleep a couple of hours with the Eupho.

@inhope,

You're right, Peridise models are not intended for prostate stimulation but they certainly help in waking up the rest of the rectal cavity.
From them I have learned that the prostate is only part of the scene, just as the penis is only part of the scene.
Taken to its logical limit, I guess almost the entire human body could become an erogenous zone!

I'm finding that i don't get much pleasure using the device at all in sessions, but the next day without a device i feel nice things, is that anything anyone else is reporting?

Also when using the device if i want to feel anything at all while using it i find using my modified MGX which has the swirly bit cut off is the best when I'm sitting on a cushion or in a sitting position, is this safe/good and have others tried this method?

whether your session was good or bad, pleasure the next day is a good sign.

I cut the swirly part of the tail off of all of my devices as it helps with movement and the tail doesnt get hung up on anything. Sitting with it in on a chair is probably fine, but you really will not get much movement, so not sure whats the point. If you do sit, just make sure you ease into it like an old man into a bath lol.

yeah its a good sign etc and i am careful when sitting (the sitting, or actually standing as well) is the only thing that creates 'nice' feelings, nothing earth shattering but there we are. All these videos and people here saying they do it by lying down, or on their side or even in a doggy position puzzle me, these well practised methods do NOTHING for me, i have to f**king sit on it, you know, where it can't move or anything! amazing.

I actually get lots of pleasureable feelings when sitting even without the aneros, though if I lay down I will lose them, so I think I agree with you on that. Maybe try using the aneros in a sitting position but sit each cheek on a pillow so it will not interfere with movement of your device. In fact I'll try that myself 😉

@ineverknew let us know how you get on 🙂

so i work in the furniture repair arena and i have access to foam cores for furniture. I cut the center out of one and made it kinda look like a toilet seat. Spent the session in a sitting position for the most part, its a recliner so i tilted it back slightly. It was definitely an interesting session compared to just laying on my back, though it didnt end up being anything spectacular. i will try again and see where it goes.

@inerverknew,

I assume you work alone!

If you have workmates, I'd be interested to hear their reactions!

@pommie, yes i definitely work alone LOL. I'm a closet aneros user! :))

Bit of an update & some observations as well as
questions for hopefully moving forward.

With every session I know have with my device(s) I find that
I get very rapid and uncontrollable leg twitching, when I ‘tense’ that area
inside. Interestingly this leg twitching occurs even when I’m not in a session
and there is no device at all. I don’t see people anywhere here reporting this,
not anywhere at all.
Secondly when using the device (tensing) i usually need to be
lying flat on my back with my legs straight causes the device to move (resulting
in leg twitching) which also rapidly moves in and out which I’ve
reported before, but get no detectable pleasure at all.

Another interesting point is that when I’m tensing it results in
an erection that is harder than I ever had. This erection in itself causes pleasure in the prostate area, though it is not anything so amazing that a normal self pleasuring session
would outclass.
If however I tense with this super erection together with a device, within an hour or so I can achieve an orgasm without
touching myself! The orgasm is usually poor, but sometimes is good. Some times
I teeter on the edge of an orgasm and come back an forth from climax to build
up for 5-6 times.
As before I see nobody mentioning or recording this. Usually if I just concentrate on the aneros device it just
results fatigue in the prostate area and no pleasure.

What do those of you that are stuck here find worked or moved
you forward?

"

your attitude can facilitate whether you have a good/bad session, make sure you are in the right frame of mind when having a session."

This man knows what's up. Insecurities, anxiety, worry, etc are killjoys.
Poster here (forgot the name) said it best when the Aneros is an amplifier of arousal, and not a provider of.

Edit:
Whoops, did I already post this? It saved drafts from different topics and posted them.

Well darkengine, this i already knew and it makes little difference how aroused i am, though just so you are aware i am always (more or less 100% of the time) aroused when entering a session, the device certaintly moves more quickly and vigoursly, but it still results in NO pleasure, i mean literally nothing. That cannot, i repeat cannot be right? its like, i have the device working as it should, but it just doesn't produce any feelings! its like eating the most glorious and expensive food but it having no taste!

Maybe do some sessions where you do nothing but deep belly breathing. Any tension or involuntaries that occur, try to relax them away as well. And focus on subtle sensations no matter how insignificant.

@inhope,I also wonder how often you have a session, how long your sessions are and what tools you are using.

I usually have 3 or 4 a week, each session is usually 2hrs, sometimes longer (this excludes leaving it in overnight as well, which I've tried 3 times)

I use the SGX, MGX and Helix. I have the SGX because i am a man of smaller stature.

@inhope,Sounds to me as if your routine and choice of tools are ideal so I am a little surprised at your apparent lack of success.

Might I suggest that you try the Peridise set and mix them in with your current stable. I'm sure the use of these in accordance with instructions from HIH, coupled with a period containing some overnighters with the smaller ones, helped to get me past the road block.

Admittedly, I did get them primarily for the relief of haemorrhoids, but I soon discovered that they do have this tremendous additional advantage.

Worked for me. See how you go and Good Luck!

You're surprised? imagine mine! and the money this company have had from me for bits of plastic i have been shoving up my ass for years, for NO actual point, it would seem....! Can you all see why i might think this is all false? some sort of scam or joke?

I can try what you say but I'm unwilling to spend yet more money on something that i know in my heart just wont work! if this company believed in what they make then let them send me all the models they do and when i get some success then i will pay for them and rave from the friggin' rooftops about how awesome they are! seriously, 3 freaking years man!!!


I also kind of confused/slight angry as to some of my results and side effects I'm experiencing, that nobody in aneros history seems to concur with, such as (just a few, there are lots more things i experience):

"The other thing that is a big problem is the involuntary leg movements i am getting. I also get these OUTSIDE of aneros sessions and are usually when my legs are close together.

They are uncontrollable, i literally cannot stop them. When using the aneros they are super violent and are verrrrry fast. THey are so violent that i am unable to stop them from happening, it also results in it being a distraction from making the device work, but again even if i am gripping my legs they get crazy and ruin things.

When these leg movements happen it usually causes my penis to move which triggers pleasure in it, again detracting from prostate concentration.

Lastly, during my sessions i will occasionally get these lovely sensations, which i assume to be the device working but what I've actually discovered is my bladder filling up/putting pressure on things inside, so as soon as i go pee the pleasure stops. How weird?

Same thing goes when i get an erection, lovely pleasure inside until its fully hard, then nothing."

Though, as I've said before, i will keep trying but seriously i am feeling so stupid lately and that its all big joke all of this, the pleasure people report just cant exist and this just cant work. I would LOVE to be proven wrong, but there just isn't any evidence other than ramblings from people on a forum. If it were a year ago, when i was still positive then yes i would happily try it all, but its not its now 3 years (in fact over that), i seem to be the only one trying for this long without success, it even made me doubt i had a prostate at one point (yes i realise this is stupid, but when you're upset and exhausted from trying at something, you start to think outside the box)

@inhope

@loveis has you beat by 2 years dude.

@inhope,I note your problems. If you feel the side effects are a problem, you should probably quit now.

For what it's worth, I began this journey in June 2009 and I still don't have success on every trip, but at least the past year or so have been mostly fun.

If you possibly can, try to enjoy the fun. If that isn't possible, I repeat that you might have to quit.

Perhaps your prostate is numb. Take some time off and start again at a later time if you wish. Now that you're feeling hostile probably nothing will happen. After a great session I had involuntaries that lasted a couple days, which overworked my prostate and now it is completely numb, devoid of all sensation. I hope my sensation comes back as well, b/c it was just starting to get good.

2 years? so then 5 years with nothing, NO pleasure? wow, what a trooper!

I dont have success on any trip, at least not success that involves the aneros actually working, what i thought was progress recently actually isn't at all, in fact it appears to have been the opposite. It would be nice to enjoy the 'fun' as you put it, but i don't experience that either, not unless i am in need of a pee or getting hard ons when i can actually feel the prostate doing something, if only for a few seconds.

Numb? i dont think so, i can still orgasm traditionally very well. The side effects arnt a problem, they dont scare or worry me, but they are distracting! my legs go crazy, i don't get why and i don't know how to control it, i see others stating they get 'in-voluntaries' and 'twitching', which is fine but i want to know why they happen, as this may help me better understand and control them.

See i feel like something is happening but i cant tell if its good or not! nobody even knows if using an aneros in a repeated fashion can cause damage (i'm pretty sure it wont but nobody says definitively that its 100% safe when the results from person to person seem to vary wildly.)

I dont want to stop because i feel there is something there, but i have real, serious moments of doubt, jealousy and occasional anger when the effort i put it, and believe me i put it in, yields no results, even slight, which i don't think is too much to ask. Just so you know i didnt expect reward in any way, or results, not for the first two years anyway. I still seem to be no better off than a beginner, i should be a veteran of experience, shouldn't i? Im still at square one, and can give no advice to newbies or first timers because i am very much exactly where they are!

In fact i was happy to enjoy the ride, to have a journey, but now i'm tired, frustrated, confused and alone. I am weary. But its the stories i read of people here (which i at times think are plants potentially) that get me excited and want to continue... i just hope they are real people and telling a truthful account.

If i quit now, even for a 'break' as it were i would feel even worse, all that effort and time for nothing, i must continue because the way i will feel will be worse than i feel now. All I need is to gain 1% progress to get my positivity back that i once had, that isn't too much to ask is it?

Just one last thing i want to add as well, the packaging of the aneroes states that you put the device in and it then works automatically. That is such BS i cannot even begin to believe its actually there, in black ink on that packaging! Perhaps once you are rewired, yes that may be true, but it mentions nothing of this process whatsoever.

@inhope, i can say that the results of the aneros are real, i have felt them, though like others have said, it is not always a given. I have had spotty results and been using over two years now. I have had a couple of the elusive super O's and multiple dry O's though i havent had any O's in quite a few months. Most of my sessions are usually very pleasureable though as of late no O's for whatever reason. The suggestion to break for say two weeks is not a bad one. I have done this and was amazed at how my prostate came to life just thinking about having a session. Its at least worth a shot. Also taking a break would also help you re-energize and come back with a better attitude. My personal belief is that your expectations and attitude has a tremendous affect on how well an aneros sessions goes, so i will leave you with this quote that i like. "Happiness is not a matter of good fortune or worldly possessions. It's a mental attitude. It comes from appreciating what we have, instead of being miserable about what we don't have. It's so simple?yet so hard for the human mind to comprehend."
Bits and Pieces

I agree that the marketing approach of Aneros is misleading for most people. I can still have a good traditional orgasm even though my prostate is currently numb. It just won't sense my Aneros right now. Maybe take a break and ease into it when you come back. Try shorter sessions with no expectations. I would be frustrated in your position too, but maybe you've been trying too hard.

@inhope well what do you expect? "Try the Aneros! Within 5 years most people are able to have prostate orgasms!"...

Although it deffinitly has some hype to it, I k ow I wouldn't have stuck around if it was like " Try our product maybe. I think one guy once had a good orgasm once with one. No promises though. We can't guarantee it".

I think mocking their marketing strategy is pretty pointless...

Quote, "Just one last thing i want to add as well, the packaging of the aneroes states that you put the device in and it then works automatically."

@inhope, I am no where as long a user as you are. I agree that there is no automatic working of the Aneros for me! It just sits there! I have tried all the known ways to coax it into spontaneity, but no it just sits there. I do however feel a pressure response from probably my prostate and against my BC muscle. I can move the aneros up and down using various muscles, I may just get a mini single involuntary or perhaps two in succession when the moon is full. I can trigger a single involuntary by tightening up various muscles except the BC and PC ones. But this is probably teaching myself bad habits - for which I will no doubt pay for later.
On the positive side I believe the presence of the Aneros and the Prostates' rather pathetic response has greatly improved my attitude, my sex with my partner, the well being of all the pelvic area, and my 'rhoids have all but gone. I sleep much better with an Aneros. But it is still frustrating that I don't seem to be able to get to the "thrilling" bit, this may be good as my body may not be able to take too many thrills, being somewhat long in the tooth. but perhaps I am rationalising.
I find it difficult to read the members super o's - an fact even their sequential in-voluntaries. I am not moaning, just saying there are quite a few plodders.
I feel it is beneficial for me to continue, so I shall.
On day perhaps..............

@ctusser you have me slightly concerned, is it possible i wonder that a prostate can ALWAYS be numb? perhaps from previous/prior damage? i cant see that being true? i cant even see it being true in any other way for that matter.

I should also have mentioned that I've had breaks, around 2.5 years in i had a break of almost a month and again there was little difference when returning. I am starting to think that maybe just maybe the aneros device experience is more unsuccessful for most that it is successful....

Can i also state that before a thread was made regarding videos of people using their devices, the videos you would find on the net would involve someone using a device whilst masturbating. This company should have had some instruction videos out somewhere/everywhere to stop people getting the wrong end of stick, because for a looooong time i assumed that it was something to aid those kinds of sessions.

Also im not mocking their marketing, I'm just stating it needs to be better! It literally states on the first use of it that it works (it moves in and out) automatically! this is literally true of nobody that I've ever heard of!? I'm not being nasty or condemning it or anything just that its not particularly clear or accurate. Okay maybe i am mocking it a little!
