Importance of abstinence?

I keep hearing sort of conflicting advice on whether to limit/avoid ejaculation while you’re rewiring. I know everybody is different, but has there been any consensus formed around this very important element of prostate play?

For some context, I’ve been ejaculating about once a week for several weeks now and having consistent aneros sessions 2-3 times per week, making sure to not stimulate my penis at all. So far, there’s not much progress to report, at least nothing noticeable, and in fact I feel like my libido is decreased. However I look back on good aneros sessions I’ve had in the past, and I’m certain I was cumming frequently around that time. However some people swear by abstinence as the thing that finally helped them make good progress with the toys.

I guess I’m answering my own question here, i.e. “do what works for you and don’t worry about other’s journeys,” but I’m still curious to hear everyone’s input on this!

  2. On a few occasions I’ve had a traditional ejaculation and then gone right into a device-less orgasm but I am mostly rewired. Abstaining can help a bit because the prostate is more engorged with fluid.

  3. I think abstinence is overrated personally. It can help sometimes but it’s not really worth worrying about too much.

  4. abstinence is fine, too much abstinence is not. It’s a journey not a race. masturbate. have sex. let the aneros fuck your prostate. all is good

  5. 3 years on my journey, well through the rewiring process. My Aneros mantra is “pleasure trumphs it all”. If you’re feeling you are missing out by not ejaculating probably you should release, the whole path should be pleasurable. That said, I believe that when we come, not only we partially empty the prostate, but our testosterone level goes low for the next few days, depending on your age. In that sense abstinence helps a lot for the arousal part, not only for the physical aspect. IMHO proper relaxation is even more important, good Aneros sessions require both arousal and relaxation, and plenty of time.

  6. IMHO if you’re only ejaculating once/week, more abstinence is unlikely to be helpful.

    Abstinence is overrated. Arousal is what matters. Abstinence is a simple (but not easy) way to build arousal, but it’s not the only way; and taken too far it can be counter-productive IMHO.

    A really good ejaculatory orgasm with my wife puts my prostate into overdrive, I have some of my best prostate sessions in the first 24 hours after good sex. So I definitely don’t worry about needing to abstain to improve my prostate sessions.

  7. In my experience bstinence has no relationahip, in fact if you are too horny which makes you unable to relax, a good thing is cum which will make you can relax and then rest and enjoy.
    (of course if you have cum a lot or you are the kind of person who end too tired after cum, it will avoid you can began enough horny.
    On these cases limit the number of cum / calculate the time your body needs to stay normal after cum)

  8. If I don’t cum for 5 days I notice my sessions are more receptive. Not sure how effective anything is beyond that because that’s usually my limit of self control.
