Just to bring you up to date. I’m not ready yet to declare what I make of all this or what my theories are of how to provoke what I’ve experienced, so I’m just going to lay out what’s been happening.

I did order the Helix, and found a good price ($45) on Amazon.com. The problem is that it took a week for the seller to ship it, and after almost another week, it’s still not here. If you have patience and price is a big factor, a reseller may be a good choice, but if your need is urgent, maybe you should order directly from the manufacturer.

I lost a few days after my last post because of some personal difficulties that took away any incentive for pursuing pleasure for a while. But after a few days, things returned to normal and I resumed my interest in the Aneros.

My next couple of tries with the device were kind of disappointing. I could get the involuntaries and some P-waves, but they easily faded. It was fun trying, but I didn’t pick up where I left off.

Then after my second attempt, I woke up in the middle of the night again, and again decided to see what I could do without the Aneros. Once again I was lying in my normal sleeping position, on my (right) side with my bottom leg extended straight and my top leg bent and resting on a pillow. I used the breathing technique I’ve described before, but, following some suggestions that have recently been made here on the forum, I enhanced my in-breaths by trying to breathe as deeply into my pelvis as I could. How to do this wasn’t very clear at first, but I soon got the hang of it, and I felt my pelvis being stretched and relaxed with every breath. I especially noticed that it felt my anus and perineum were bulging at the peak of my inhale.

After a dozen breaths or so, I relaxed and simply listened to any pleasurable sensations coming from my body. And sure enough they came. The tingling started in my balls and crawled up my perineum to my anus and then flooded my pelvis. I twitched and shuddered and felt flashes and glints of keen pleasure and a general glow. Over the next hour or two this was repeated with varying degrees of intensity, including some events that made me whimper in spite of myself. I’m not a big moaner, and so far I haven’t had an experience like some on the forum, that was so intense I found myself screaming. But what I felt was pure, keen, intense pleasure at least equal to, though different from, what I feel in a really good orgasm. I have watched plenty of porn in which I witnessed a guy have an orgasm that didn’t cause him to so much as bat an eye. Those are not the sort of orgasms I usually have. Rarely do I not experience at least a quiet moan at the peak of pleasure, some convusive movements, and a momentary loss of my self when I cum. This was on the order of those experiences.

I think it’s important to point out that I didn’t do any tensing at all in trying to induce the experience. I simply used my breath to try to stretch and relax my pelvic muscles as much as I could and then relaxed and paid close attention to what followed. Without going too far into theory, I’ll venture this opinion: it seems from my experience so far that the essential trick is to learn to recognize the pleasure when it begins. It’s very subtle and inconspicuous. It’s like being with someone who suddenly whispers, “Listen! What was that?” And you don’t hear anything, but you go dead still and begin to listen. And at first you can’t make out what they’re talking about, but then something separates itself from the background noise and you realize what your companion heard. And once you’ve recognized it, the noise becomes clearer and much more obvious. With the feelings of pleasure there seems to be some sort of feedback loop in which the more you pay attention to the first stirrings of pleasure, the more they are enhanced until they grow in waves, as everyone says, from a whisper to a roar. But first you have to learn to spot the inklings.

Last night I repeated this sequence of events with even more intense pleasure. If this isn’t what is meant by a super-O, I’m content with what I’ve found so far, but I’m willing to explore as far as it takes me. It’s an amazing experience, as if something has invaded your body for the purpose of thrilling you. And all just by lying still and being receptive!

Today nearly the whole day I have had an uncountable number of similar events throughout my day at work with very little effort on my part. Sometimes they’ve been so pleasurable that I trembled. I seemed to have the ability to summon them at will just by paying attention to the feelings in my pelvis.

I think I’m going to give it a rest tonight, because in spite of this method of inducing the pleasure by relaxing, there is still a certain amount of tension that creeps in unconsciously, and I can feel the potential for some cramping. I still mean to try out the Helix as soon as it arrives and see what that leads to. But like several other contributors to the forum, I’m beginning to suspect the Aneros is only a means to an end and that eventually we can transcend any kind of aid and just float in pure pleasure at will. Or at least I hope so.
