I have a Progasm and I generally use it with silicone lube, applied both on the toy and rectally via a lube-launcher.
In all my sessions, I can feel the slight pressure from the Aneros on my prostate, but it is often subtle and hard to detect. Very strong kegel exercises can make the sensation a bit stronger, but that’s it.
I have decent control of my pelvic floor, and can generate twitches in my PC muscle easily enough; it doesn’t seem to work very well, though. I’m also familiar with diaphragmatic breathing from my vocalist training, but it doesn’t seem to produce much of a good response either (alone or in combination with my PC muscles.
I have the distinct feeling that I’m missing something.
I’ve read over the wiki without much insight. Most of the given techniques fail to produce much sensation, even when applied over long time periods.
So today I got profoundly stoned, put in my Progasm, and just tried to relax into things. So far it isn’t unpleasant, but I still feel like something isn’t quite lining up to get me beyond “this is mildly pleasant” territory.

Try a smaller model like the MGX
Are you sexually aroused when you begin your session? That can help as it causes the prostate to swell.
I’m going to give you some blasphemous advice for this sub, try edging before a session. The increased arousal and increase prostate size will help jump start your sessions.
I know it goes against the sacred texts which say thou shalt not touch thy penis, sometimes you need something to get you going. Maybe give it a try and see if it helps you. Honestly, I don’t think you’re going to lose any sensitivity in your prostate if you built it up already through the rewiring process.
If you haven’t gone through the rewiring process yet, then you absolutely should do that. You need to abstain from penile masturbation to build up sexual tension. This will help you become horny which will help your prostate swell because of semen retention, which will jump start your sessions. You need to be able to feel sexual pleasure from your prostate, and you will have a much harder time doing that if you continuously masturbate your penis.
So let me update my advice, because in reality there’s a whole boat load of things you can do to improve your odds of success, YMMV of course
1 do the rewiring process
2 abstain from traditional masturbation
3 be aroused sexually when you start your sessions
4 use plenty of lube, the toy must be able to move freely
5 make sure you’re observing your feelings, close your eyes and concentrate on what you’re feeling
6 listen to some sort of binaural beats or meditation music (this just helps you concentrate it doesn’t really do anything else, it keeps your mind from wandering by wondering what every little sound is)
7 wear a sleep mask (it’s like meditation music for your eyes)
And then if that doesn’t work…
1 try edging, masturbate your penis until you’re just about to the point of ejaculation and stop, do this several times perhaps even over the course of a couple of days
2 insert your toy and see if it’s giving you pleasure, if not edge with the toy in
3 try wearing a cock ring, it helps
4 do nipple play, seriously, it helps
5 improve your overall horniness levels by experimenting with your other erogenous zones while you have the toy inserted, I’ll leave it up to you to figure out what those are but it could be nipples like in the previous suggestion, thighs, just, stomach, back your neck, your ears, whatever dills your pickle
6 …
7 profit
And then if none of that s*** works, use a dildo or an njoy wand
My sessions greatly improved after listening to hypno / asmr (shibbysays) without the aneros in. It produces alot of the same feelings and let’s you know what you are looking to feel.
Shibbysays 2 states of mind is great. There is no femdom etc etc. Just great feelings
Something that surprised me when I began to read your post is that you say you only feel slight pressure on your prostate from your Progasm. That thing looks huge to me. I use the Eupho which is the smallest model and I don’t have to squeeze hard for it to hit my prostate. If you’re squeezing hard with the Progasm, chances are you’re putting a lot of pressure on the prostate. I personally find a lot of pressure desensitises my prostate. You gotta start off slowly and almost just let the toy tickle your prostate to build up sensitivity
After three years with good success I have learned that my smaller toys give me the best results. Some of my most intense pleasure has been from my Eupho. Also my Helix Trident & MGX. All plastic models. The movement from them is really good. Also I use coconut oil which helps too. I have yet to have as much pleasure using my Progasm. Bigger isn’t always better. The smaller toys in general move on the prostate better for me.
