Age of forum members

Great idea Buster! It will be intersting to see how this shakes out. grateful

i was actually thinking about doing an age poll myself. it would also be interesting to see the various rates of success within different age groups. i have a hunch it would increase with age

This is pretty interesting. Too bad more of the 190+ people that have viewed this poll didn't vote, but I think it is starting to tell a story.

I'm really surprised at the number of older members there are so far. I guess I just got into the game early 😛

19 years old and no luck yet with mgx yet, also holding out for the "smaller progasm" model that was talked about a while back.

Let's bump this up and see if we can get any more participants.

i think it is very interesting that the 30's category is so low. that is consistent with my casual observations of guys' ages on this forum.

here's a guess: guys in their thirties may have the best partnered sex life, so they aren't so interested in this basically auto-erotic option. younger guys are still having trouble getting layed consistently, and older guys are in a life-long monogamous relationship, so possibly need a diversion.

younger guys are still having trouble getting layed consistently

hey, speak for yourself buddy. haha kidding, i avoid women like the plague; i think youre bang on. I also think that 'the 30s' seems like a high stress time aswell when people are realizing theyre getting further into adult hood and need to get a career, family etc established. Secondly, i would bet that as one gets older, you might tend to become more relaxed and comfortable with yourself; the whole 'what would my friends think if they saw me now' mental block could be eliminated. i certainly feel that my personal orgasmic obstacles mostly stem from youthful arrogance and pride.

OH- and i forgot to add; i believe the average member of my generation has about a 30 second attention span brought on by living in front of screens from a young age; whether it be TV, laptops, PSPs, whatever. AND, with the internet has come an increasing acceptence of pornography. i personally would feel like a creep walking into a porno shop but with the internet it feels so comfortable (although i do try to keep it down to a bare minimum). Even the word pornography has been transformed into the socially accetable 'porn'. Ive read articles detailing how this massive subjection to porn massively rewires the brain, creating a ridiculously high arousal threshhold (what in real life can make you horny when youve seen all your sexual fantasys played out on the internet repeatedly from a young age)... and, how can your imagination possibly turn you on when youre so used to having endless stimulation so easily accesable? Just some food for thought...

In don't know, but my first impression is that during your 30's (like Enemagra said) it is a time when you have the most amount of pressure to 'make something of yourself'. That would go for careers and families, I guess. By the time you reach 40+, you are more interested in what makes YOU tick. Expanding the horizons.

A very broad statement would be that those over 70 might not spend the same kind of time on the internet exploring this type of opportunity. Ofcouse not all, but I would think a larger percentage. I would assume that you can be multi-orgasmic well past 70. I am really hoping that is true!

another thought that never dawned on me before as to why aneros seems to be so popular with the older generation: i imagine many have discovered this product in a context of its original intention: helping prostate disorders... seems like a no-brainer

i didn't find it that way.

maybe that would be a good poll. perhaps something like this:

what led you to the aneros?
- prostate problems
- surfing: prostate stimulation
- surfing: anal stimulation
- surfing: extended orgasm
- surfing: general sex toys
- a male friend
- a female friend
- a sex shop
- your mother

before this poll came out, i was thinking a good one would be:

-20s super orgasmic
-20s no luck
-30s super orgasmic
-30s no luck
-40s super orgasmic
-40s no luck
-50s super orgasmic
-50s no luck

i would bet that the higher up you go, the higher rate of success. i really think that the different ways different generations are socialized plays a huge role. actually, im taking a sociology class right now, maybe ill make this my final project 💡

This one's for you Mogasm, let's see it on the big board!

Hi Buster: I meant my post of Oct 19 to come to your poll but am naive to internet communicating and it didn't. So here is my credit to you and thanks for your message of this morning.I'll endeavor to answer questions for my success with attaining Super O's in time. For conclusions , I must depend on surmise . Mogasm

I'm 24. Born in October 1983. Bought my Aneros in May 2008.

I am in my mid-late 40's (depending on your view, lol) and my husband is 40. Our relationship started out very actively sexually speaking, died out and is now back to being active but less athletic and more...what? Slower? I guess. Now we take more time to enjoy the journey instead of getting right to the main event; time constraints mean we don't have sex as often as we'd like, but when we do it takes several hours now. Even a quickie lasts over an hour most of the time and I have to say, I prefer it this way.

I would like to see this poll become active once again. I am very curious why there aren't more members from the 20's group. I mean 25 men is it for the 20's age group??? There's a whole world population. I guess I should feel lucky that I'm part of this poll.

Look HOW many men over all are missing out on this wonderful experience/journey.

Spread the word guys. Let's see if we can get arrested. 😆 😀 😯 🙄 😉

Great Poll and fascinating results so far. Somehow I missed this and just voted now, adding to the 60s total.

I first discovered my prostate almost 50 years ago during puberty years at an all boys summer camp and that led to developing a very active solo prostate massage habit in the 1950s, early 1960s. That led to some kinds of rewiring or maybe different original wiring of my erotic arousal nervous system.

The IOs (Intellectual Orgasms: please see Early Post of Youth Experiences post in my blog at: http://www.aneros.com/displayentry.php?id=205 ) that resulted were a life-changing glorious experience then and have contributed to being exceptionally integrated as a person, as we all are regardless of our gender orientations, where our "male" and "female", assertive and vulnerable fullness of being is naturally integrated and expressed in our way of being socially and with our partner. The biggest benefit is the ease and fullness of friendships with many many women, in a non-sexual but lasting, energetic and strongly bonded, platonic love, while having an even deeper relationship and sexual/erotic/ecstatic love and life with my partner, mrs. a!

Because of sex role pressures on young males, the open vulnerability of our external genitalia, and the mysterious sensations occasionally inside which are "dirty" and never to be explored, what I have termed elsewhere for years, "The Rolling Poison of the Playground", I am not surprised, but saddened by the low numbers of young males here.

When will our prostate, our great orgasmic treasure, and its portal the anus/rectum, be recognized as a central, natural essential part of male genitalia and male eroticism in its full erotic/ecstatic/and integrative/developmental potential as well as something able to be discussed socially in any company without any discomfort for all orientations from rigidly straight hetero to exclusive bottom homosexual?

It may take another couple of generations, if the movement isn't viciously suppressed again as means of fear-based social control. Forums and conversations such as we have here are absolutely essential and the more open here the better.

all the best to all

Wow, over 10,000 people have viewed this poll yet under 200 have participated in it. Interesting. I think I have moved up a category since I started the poll.

One of the seven sub-20s here. Or, rather, soon to be.

Artform is absolutely correct with the rolling poison analogy. It's been this way since the middle ages, although we are making progress now. Perhaps the best thing to do is to instigate another hippy movement.

Looks like I have 7 homies!!!

😀

Probably quite a few more than that.

I'm 32, in a wonderful stable relationship were I don't have any trouble getting it. What sparked my interest in MMO and ultimately aneros, was seeing how my girlfriend responds during her orgasm. Losing control, shaking, quivering, facial expressions, vocalizations, telling me it feels too good, just can't take any more pleasure, having difficulty standing, walking, maintaining composure, etc... I thought to myself wow, I've had some good T-orgasms but I've never experienced anything like she is. There must be something I'm missing.

At first I attributed my lack of pleasure with being circumcised. The foreskin contains the highest number of touch/pleasure sensitive nerves, where the head of the penis contains pressure/pain sensitive nerves. I'm guessing this is why I've never said it feels too good, but the rest of it is still possible.

I will never circumcise my male children just so they look like daddy or for any reason what so ever. Western medicine is at work here again. Watch the main video http://www.youtube.com/user/painfulquestioning I think the motivation is simple, money.

If you are really interested in the purpose and pleasure the foreskin holds take a look at these 10 minute videos: Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9DoCn3gATE and Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps1dkbcOKfA You have to sign in but the information is worth it.

I think the ages should be adjusted i am 29 in a little over a month but i feel like selecting 20's doesn't fit me a 26-34 group would have fit better i would have done the poll in increments of 5-8 years.

I agree with Promass' splitting the 20's by age. I think there's also another pair of sub-groups in the 20's...'single' versus 'committed monogamous.'

Masters and Johnson, in their first study of male sexual response, named age 42 as a major transition point. The offer of an improved or different orgasm might have some interest for 'over 42's' as the MMO word travels.

So, perhaps

We've got a 'bi' population here. Are there differences between open-bi's and closet-bi's ??

NuBe09

Yeah, I assume open-bi's have more fun. 🙂

The poll function only gives you a certain amount of categories that you can have per poll. I wanted to make sure that I got the full spectrum of ages.

18 here. I feel too young to be ordering a Helix and looking at the forums 😳
And speaking of bi's, I think I'm closet... or just experimenting... I'm still not sure myself to be honest 😉

Welcome JSTAFF22

You are not alone in age or "experimenting". Even some of us geezers (I'm now 62) started prostate massaging in mid-teens and "experimented" back then. In the Male Sexual Orientation Here Poll at http://www.aneros.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3204 you could vote "Just Figuring It Out" if you so choose and join the 2 previous voters in that category.

One of the effects of prostate massage can be various forms of Day After Effects described in the Poll of that title. In my youth I had really extraordinary ones I called Intellectual Orgasms, dry-Os with vivid cinematic imagery. There is an early entry in my blog http://www.aneros.com/displayblog.php?id=3544 describing them.

This site and the companion Wiki have wonderful examples, suggestions, advice and friendly chats.

all the best on your journey of discovery

Hi Inverse and newbie2009

I don't think we are talking "one-stop shopping", or even two here. The science on this increasingly shows a sliding scale. That is why the Male Sexual Orientation Here Poll http://www.aneros.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3204 was structured to account for that middle range: Straight-bi(14% of all voters to date), Bisexual(7%), Just figuring it out(2%), and Gay-bi(4%). That is virtually a quarter of all the voters in this poll to date.

From straight men who have experimented with gay relationship(s), often at one particular age or stage of our evolving life development, through even more carefully differentiated experiences and preference patterns to gay men who have had some hetero experimenting, it is a wide range on the sexuality spectrum.

Enjoy.
