After not having a lot of progress over the last half year or so I was getting a bit tired of my Aneros collection. It got to the point where I prepared myself a couple of times but as soon as I layed down I decided that sleeping was the better option.
I used a Lovense Edge sometimes which was nice but not much to write home about. Other times I jerked it normally, maybe with some perineum massage. I didn’t totally stop prostate play but I certainly did it way less frequently.
Well, after like a month of doing this the urge to try a massager again got me. My first session with the Eupho was decent but nothing new.
A couple days later though my prostate started to tingle during the day. I was looking forward to trying again. I used the Helix that night and it was the first session where I could continuously feel the Aneros rubbing my prostate. As normal I finished by stimulating my penis but this was easily one of my best sessions.
I think taking a break helped me to get rid of old patterns. Generally I was much more relaxed than previously and didn’t buck my hips up and down when things got going. Also I wasn’t contracting as strongly as before. I would contract only lightly and wait a couple of seconds to feel the pressure from the helix. Then I fully released and started again.

I think it’s more related to your new approach of staying relaxed and less clenching. I actually stopped any prostate play for two months and it didn’t feel better when I resumed. I think that spacing your sessions by a few days and being regular will give better results than a long break.
