So, as expected I had a chance to use the Helix today. I used the Astroglide. It seemed slippery enough, altough it was so thin that it was tricky to get it to go where I wanted and not just drip all over the place.
So, then with the Helix in, lying down and reading. Once again after about 5 minutes I felt the “tingle” starting. I tried to relax and let it go for a few minutes–slow, deep breathing and nipple stim. This time something different happened… I got hard. My Aneros experiences so far have mostly been erection-free, but this time the pulsating of the P-tab seemed to lead directly to my penis. At this point I decided to wait it out and see what happened… though I had a pretty strong compulsion to clamp down with my PC muscle, I decided to wait and see what would happen. After a short while I reached a plateau of the involuntary Helix motions and then started to relax, and the erection went away.
After a couple minutes of relaxing and breathing the tingling came back, and another erection, though not quite as hard as the first one. At this point I was feeling another buildup and I gave in to the impulse to do some contractions. I had some very pleasurable spasms, but it felt like there was more to come.
At this point about 1/2 hour in, the lubricant situation was clearly not very good. I took a break and applied some of the JO H20. At this point I’m not impressed with the Astroglide, but I think I’ll give it another try before I give up on it. (I like the JO, but I’d like to have an alternative I can buy locally at a drugstore etc.)
So, back in bed, I sort of started over, just relaxing to see what would happen. I felt aroused (though no more erections), and as time progressed, along with looking at some porn, I was feeling some involuntary shaking of my hips. I tried to relax and let this take its course. As things moved along I spent more time contracting my PC and anal muscles. It feels good to just clamp down hard and stay there, but that does not seem to lead anywhere, so I try not to do it too much or for too long. What I tried to do was relax about halfway, and this got some really good results, keeping the pressure on while still being relaxed enough to let the Helix move around a bit. I have not done this “halfway” bit before, but I clearly need to explore it more. Also, with the movements, I felt like I was starting to actually feel my prostate–it helped to visualize the shape of the Helix and where it is in relation to the prostate. With all the movement around, I reached a point where it really felt like I needed to ejaculate, but I didn’t, and after a few seconds at that peak I started to subside. I believe this may be what @rumel wrote about in “Super-O Myths & Illusions” that there is no “edge” to go over.
At this point I was almost 2 hours in and knew I needed to stop soon, but of course I didn’t want to. At this point I had been lying on my back, and my back was a bit stiff, so I decided to try on all fours for a bit.. a position I like, and that I find comfortable for my back, but that I haven’t had much success with as far as the Helix goes. I concentrated on the “halfway” contraction of the anal/PC muscles, and worked on manipulating the Helix. I continued for about 15 more minutes and got some light involuntary movements going, but at this point it not only time to stop, I was clearly getting tired, so I called it a day.
