*How Vocal?

Alternating between moaning and groaning, and whimpering and sighing, depending on which phase of my orgasmic state I'm in.

During orgasm only.

Only dry-O so far. So no moaning during sessions.

However, at night after good sessions I moan (loudly) in my sleep. It wakes my wife and makes the dog bark loudly. 😳 😮

Time to get into KSMO and moaning so that we can all sleep !! 😀

Only during orgasms - a new user of a Aneros Helix - still learning -

During the whole session, from beginning to the end and then more!

With neighbours to consider I normally muffle my moans, which is a pity coz I think being able to moan without restriction would really enhance the Aneros experience. As they call orgasm 'little death' my take on what they mean with that is surrender. To really experience, you have to let go, holding back on moans is the same as not being able to completely experience the full scope.
Even after the Aneros I moan silently .

I think your body responds to moaning, I'm just not sure why that is. If it's because your body presumes you must be orgasmic so that, even if you're not at the moment, you become it.
Or because men are already wired to respond to moaning and this is why women can manipulate men to ejaculate with moaning so they don't have to fuck too long.

Sorry, guys: 80 percent of women fake it - Health - Sexual health - Sexploration - msnbc.com

Pillows work well to muffle moans and groans!!

It really depends, more intense = louder vocalization. Usually it is just breathing. I am very in tune to keeping good breathing control, which stems from yoga and martial arts, correct breathing is essential to promote a relaxed and responsive systemic state for just about any activity, including rest. A great percentage of people have been breathing incorrectly their entire lives. I recommend personal research into this if you are unaware of the techniques and rehearse your breathing until it becomes 2nd nature. It's essential to ones well being.

I moan a lot during an orgasm in an aneros session.

I used to moan softly when it starts to get intense. Since I started to have super O I find I am moaning louder. I wasn't aware of this until the cat came in and started meowing loudly.

nope no moaning during my first super-O maybe some occasional soft groans here and there...
and never during sessions

Had been quiet with the Aneros until yesterday.

During sex I've always accompanied my trad-O with a small 'chuffle' sound. Hadn't ever brought that sound into my Aneros journey since it just didn't seem to be a fit with the mini-O or Super-O feelings. My only sounds during a session were an incidental grunt or "oh-oh." Those were usually associated with body movements that interrupted the build of a p-wave.

Yesterday, just for the 'helluvit' I let go. It was a totally great and fulfilling feeling. I quickly developed vocalization at the onset of the slightest p-wave. Without any thought, the shout and it's accompanying exhalation became the primary and most natural way I've found to shape and direct the growth of the mini-O. Results:

-- mini-Os develop much faster and with more surity.
-- mini-Os shaped with sound seem to build faster, become better defined but don't last as long (perhaps only 45 to 90 seconds instead of the two to three minutes I used to experience.
-- as a mini-O matures and breaks into an automatic thing, I can detect the 'next' mini-O starting and shift focus to that budding event in a very natural way.
--- OTOH, maybe I'm incorrect here and am just intensifying p-waves and making them more self sustaining. Whatever this is, it's a real landmark !!!
-- At the start of the Super-O it's seems natural for me to change to a slower, more gentle and perhaps more 'careful' vocalization. Right now I'm fading out to zero vocal stuff as the visual Super-O develops.

Probable danger: Gettiing on an alfa-male/ego trip that might shift me into a more controlling mode, lessening receptivity.usually because there's another one building on the heels for the first one.
I'm syncing it to my breathing. One, two or sometimes three "shouts" are naturally happening on each exhalation.

update, November 2010 -- 4 months later --

I've adapted this vocalization to one specific visual Super-O. It has evolved into a louder, deeper, shout/cry that "calls" the next dry-O. The feeling is that I'm using it to 'claw or burrow' my way through the heavy part of the arousal process before I fall into the Super-O. The shouts/crys have increased the intensity and duration of each dry-O in the chain.

I make noise the whole time. Recently, during the Supers and Dry-Os, it is a low, growly sound.

Depends on if the house is empty. I suppress my moans when my wife is upstairs. I do think that moaning enhances the experience, lets you go deeper into the moment. It's the aural indicator of letting yourself go, free of inhibitions, ready to feel whatever your mind and body can dish out. One time I videotaped my Super O, then watched and listened, and counted: 668 "Oh"s in about 15 minutes. 96 "god"s. 56 "yes"s. That's an incredible amount of breath. Sure forces you to breathe responsibly. I have noticed there's a "hump" to cross when breathing: When the pleasure builds, I can't help but breathe faster (even if I'd valley breathing the whole time prior). And it get a little out of breath and perhaps even dizzy if that continues for too long. But if I control the speed better, I cross that "hump" and go into a really nice rhythmic breathing pattern, and get the pleasure without the much too frequent breathing.

i first met my gf she was telling me that some people were put off on how loud she was and it really turned me on scream your head off and after being together for a while, well before aneros we were pegging and boy i was noisey (thankfullly our living situation) we are able to make all the noise we want and with aneros i am definatly a whole lot louder than she is and we love it i see the look on her face when I scream..... Pic is still in my mind

Soft moaning just in general pleasure, gasps and louder, more urgent moans when the involuntaries kick in ( and that's as far as I've gotten, boys ... ) I'm certain the noise level will only increase as the level of pleasure increases.

I think this as alot to do with 'hysteria'.
Now if you put 'hysteria' into a search engine, you'll find it rather interresting.
It mentions about the invention of womens dildo's and vibrators (clockwork) in the old Victorian era.

Very vocal. Somewhat animalistic.

I find my best sessions occur when I have the privacy to vocalize freely. While I have had satisfying sessions under circumstances that I had to inhibit my vocalizations, I find my absolute best sessions include panting, animal sounds and exclamations, it all seems to kick it up a notch ( or several, when strings of orgasms, one after another make me moan, growl and pant all at once)!

You have to let it ALL out when riding to really transcend orgasm into the divine.  No holding back!

It's good and I super when keeping quiet because others around, butt when get those chances to plug-in and let go, WATCH OUT!

Just had my second experience with my Progasm Jr. and for the first time ever I really moaned and grunted when the sensations kicked in. Normally, I'm quite the quiet guy, so that was a first for me.

@jason28 when you start vocalizing you know it is hitting you in all the right spots! I moaned so loud one night I thought my neighbors heard me. I had a wired couple of days where I couldn't really look at them when I would run into them. LOL! It sounds like you are having a great time with your Progasm Jr.. Happy Riding!

Well, I'm sure I wasn't so loud, so no weird glances will be exchanged. I think 😉

It was definately hitting me in all the right spots. Anticipating another ride this afternoon!

Happy riding!

Being vocal is super hot and accentuates everything about a sexual moment whether solo or duo. When alone I like to let go and moan loudly with grunting in the really heavy throes of passion. Recently, with the wife I was whimpering like a hot sub as she took me to ecstasy places seldom enjoyed. Love to be vocal and hear vocal moments!

I only get vocal during some Super-Os, and it's totally involuntary. If I try to force any noise then that knocks me back a little bit from orgasming.

I seem to remember Barbara Carellas mentioning something like "Fake it 'til you make it" with regards to sound (in Urban Tantra).  I don't go that far but I probably do exaggerate just a bit sometimes.  There are certain resonances that I've found to help but it comes from being relaxed, very much in-tune with my breathing, certainly diaphragmatic breathing.  I never took formal voice training but I did sing in several college choirs so I picked up a little there.  It also helps when I know that I can freely express myself at any volume, from a relaxation standpoint: very important to letting go.  I bought a white noise machine to this purpose, and knowing that my roommate won't be back that day helps as well!  I do still have to feel something though, the sounds don't conjure up feelings by themselves, though at some point I should get serious about my KSMO practice. 

It's perhaps an aspect of Surrendering, but I've found that occasionally exclaiming "Oh, yes ma'am!" can have a pretty marked effect as well, whether I'm responding to guided audio, a particular fantasy, or something else.  I'm still studying this phenomenon but think this is linked to diaphragm and resonance as well.  I will credit @mj05 with this one: I've started talking to an imaginary woman, describing just what is happening to me and how it feels; at some point I hope I can record audio of a few sessions but that's still in the future. 

So I would say I'm very much invested in being vocal.  I'd say there's a lot of merit in not stifling my sounds and hope I'll get to the place where I'm wailing uncontrollably for hours.  For those that are there, might I recommend this and this? 😉
