Which factors disturb your sessions the most?

Fear/Lack of privacy, and being tired only.

1. Lack of Privacy. This means even when I am alone I always feel rushed and have to take numerous glances at the clock to make sure I'm still "safe".
2. Expectations/Frustration. I'm good about going into sessions with zero expectations. But, when things start going well my mind constantly wants to take over so it doesn't miss the big bang. The result = no O.
3. Penis. My penis is only a problem when a. it starts to get hard or b. I'm on my side and it rubs the sheets, etc. I have the best experiences when I'm not even aware my penis is around. As in these two examples, once it enters my thought process my brain keeps looking for signals "there" rather than getting lost in the overall experience.

For me,

1) Sleep deprivation/tiredness

2) Expectations

3) Anything that distracts my attention

Don't get me wrong - watching porn with aneros in your butt is one of most enjoyable ways to watch porn. But don't expect any progress or orgasms. So: no distractions !

10) My moaning(?)

I thought that it was supposed to help things along, not hinder them. I seldom have the solitude to moan to my heart's desire, but when I do, it seems to be helpful.

🙂 lol.. I know, it's weird.. but lately I discovered that moaning can actually distract my concentration.. I start to concentrate on my moaning instead of the feelings...

3. to 7. botch development in someway, but penis is likely the largest issue so far.

Penis/PC muscles provide great sensations but they can cancel out development once it kicks in. Which is a sticky scenario since typically my penis tenses from arousal which...is how the Aneros works for the most part.

Besides that, avoiding PC muscle usage leads the p-waves to simply plateau from my body being unable to comprehend the surges and whatnot.

#2, until I find some way to talk to my wife about it.

It's tiredness and stress for me lately, and maybe some emotional uncertainty as well. I've been having so-so sessions the past few weeks because by the end of the day when I finally have a little free time for a session, it's a struggle to stay awake and focused.

Other than that, erections/arousal. I get so turned on during good sessions that I find it torturous to not have a traditional orgasm if I just stay on the edge without going over for too long (I haven't crossed over to mini Os/dry Os/Super Os yet).

for me it is: - lack of privacy. even if i had total privacy, a voice in my mind might still creep in "what if somebody sees or hears you"

- discomfort. this is individual to me and those who suffer from prostatitis and other pain issues down there.

For me, they are:

(1) Tiredness. Generally I retire fairly early, certainly before midnight most nights. It is hard for me to have an Aneros session in the evening after a long day's work. I am toying with the idea of having a session around 7 a.m. when I am refreshed after a night's sleep.

(2) Lack of privacy. I have a great deal of privacy here at my apartment. Most of my neighbors are quiet people. Unfortunately a lady has moved recently into the apartment below me. She has wooden soled shoes which goes "clunk, clunk, clunk!" She walks incessantly in her apartment. All this is a great annoyance and distraction at times.

(3) Tensed muscles, being up tight, also rob me of a good session.

Other possible distractions will make their impression upon me as I continue with the Aneros. Being both open and receptive to all the good the Aneros has for me is a good antidote.

Lack of experience: I relax and things start to take off, and I feel an orgasm coming on.... Then it's like hitting a wall and fades away. It's frustrating, and I really don't know how to get around it. Don't know if I should relax, or use contractions. Contractions seem to stop any involuntary movements going on, yet I can't seem to get over the hump.
Lack of time: I find that I'm either too tired, or I have to start late and cut into my sleep schedule which causes the next day to be a little rough.
Burning sensations: Don't know if it's the P-tab, lack of lube or what but sometimes it comes right away and fades away, or sometimes it comes later in the session.
Needing to Pee: I hate this. It's like clockwork. After about 30 - 40 min in I get the urge to take a leak. Try to ignore it but it doesn't go away. It's at this point I'm out of the zone, and end the session.
Lack of an erection: I notice some people posting the opposite here. I know it's also said that you don't need one for prostate orgasms. However in my sessions my erection seems to indicated how the session is going. If I'm really hard I'm enjoying the sensations and feel like I'm about to orgasm. If I go limp, the session isn't really going anywhere.
No Super T: This is mostly about if you want to have a traditional orgasm with aneros in. People say it's great, but for me it ruins the orgasm. While cumming it's more of a distraction and takes the enjoyment away.

Very interesting post here. I am often put off by a cruel thought that "It won't work to day"! If I have had a good session, I feel elated all day and go about with a smile. Sometimes I get little or now response from the Anreos, and I feel really down afterwards. Then I think "Will it, won't it the next time"? More anxiety.

Sorry! One more comment. A very obvious disturbance I experience is any retention of any pending stools in therectum. They will surely be a hindrance. Also insufficient lube. and above all, too much anticipation of what's going to happen.

I actually had an interesting observation while viewing porn and 'trying' to get off with the Aneros. I found that if the viewing was less focused, ie seeing a large number of erotic images all presented at once, basically a gallery page.. The erotic stimuli was actually stronger than when focusing on a single subject. I noticed the same thing with a video I was watching when it switched to a rapid succession of erotic imagery. The "less focused" the subject was, the greater the stimuli from the Aneros. I think I've come to the conclusion that the more abstract stimuli actually prevents your mind from focusing on trying to become aroused, thus... you become more aroused.

For me it's almost always distracting thoughts or lack of focus. Basically I'll get caught up on thoughts that are bothering me. So the pleasure starts to go away as my thoughts are no longer arousing and my focus is not on the sensations of the Aneros. Other times but less often, tiredness will keep me from evening starting a session.

1 , 5 , 7 and 9 , With all the advice on here I try and do as follows : # 5 if tense I am told muscles tire so that relaxes me anyway , works for me when clamping also . # 7 something goes in my ass and my cock shrivels , it always has done when discretely trying stuff when the wife isn't around, This was a major hang up until I thought it was hard and looked down at this limp dick ? I try to take it out of the equation now as it has become irrelevant but feels good anyway .#7 and 9 work the same for me therefore if I don't expect I will not become frustrated . Its all good really as the Kiwis say . :-* My major one will become #2 , A major hurdle that could be a turning point as I am alone through work for a few weeks . !
Cheers all

11. Breathing. I've got it down now. but took long time to balance the pleasure and breathing. Getting almost there and losing it, because forgetting to breath is real bummer. Painful headache and then having to work all the way back-up.

12. Improper prep. Not fully preparing bladder and ass. Nothing worse then having to stop for a bowel movement!

The intrusion these days that most disturbs an Aneros session for me is the noxious political rhetoric of our upcoming presidential election here in the USA!

Earplugs? 😉

Another big hindrance some is poop in the rectum. It just dulls the pleasure building to the point that I usually can't ride. Have to plan around when my rectum's empty.

Defintie privacy / rushing a job, but they are still fun to run with, followed by expectations after a longer ride (1hr+) and also sometimes peeing

As far as my own hangups go, I'm trying to journal and record them so that I can get better in that department. Here's what I've learned so far.
-Expectations: (goes hand-in-hand with Frustration) I've experienced a few prostate orgasms with other toys (Rocks-off Naughty Boy) so I keep hoping to be having the same success with Aneros and I'm still waiting. After a while I'll get frustrated and just decide to ejaculate.
-Lack of Privacy: Yeah if there's anyone else in the house then I'm obviously holding myself back and worried about making too much noise.
-Tiredness: I'm almost always tired with I have time and privacy for an Aneros session, so it's a dice roll whether I'll make anything happen or if I'll fall asleep after 30-60min.
-My Penis: I don't like to lie on my back, it usually has too many associations with traditional masturbation, so I go for side and/or stomach, and if everything's going well at some point my erection will distract me 66% of the time. There's a lot of blood pumping into my penis that I'm pretty sure is a precursor of blood pumping into other areas that could get the dry-O started, but it takes a lot to pull my focus back toward my prostate. When I manage to do it I get a mini-O (I think).
-Tensed Muscles: This is something that I didn't understand at first about involuntary contractions but have gotten better at understanding, and the journey I've been on has taught me some things about my own body. The biggest thing is that I tend to clench a lot of muscles (especially PC and anus) and that has kept me from generating greater involuntaries. Perhaps it's just that I'm unaccustomed to the sensations as yet, but it's very close in some ways to the urge to purge and because of that oftentimes the feeling of the Aneros moving inside me will cause me to clamp down without thinking. I've been practicing a lot without the Aneros recently and it still takes a very conscious effort to un-clench all the different muscles. I'm sure that when I have mastered this I'll be much better at generating arousal and involuntaries.

Tiredness and Severe Depression can end my sessions before they begin

I find that moaning, vocalizations and involuntary movements add to the experience. In fact when I’m in situations that I have to control these things I never achieve as intense and satisfying a session, it really helps to just let go of all inhibitions and give your body over to the experience, come what may.
