I’ve been using Aneros (mainly the Helix Syn Trident but I have a couple others) for about 1 year now. Depending on my mood and level of arousal/relaxation, I can feel a lot of pleasure and occasionally cum hands-free, but I always felt like I was missing something and I couldn’t “let go” fully.
Living in a flat with a housemate in the room next to me, I was always subconsciously trying not to bounce around on my bed too much because of all the noise of the mattress squeaking.
Last night, I lay a duvet down on my floor and tried using the Aneros on a hard floor. OMG. It made such a ridiculous difference. I could easily writhe around in pleasure and contort my body into positions that I couldn’t do properly on a bed. I felt like I could FULLY relax for the first time and just give into the sensations without being paranoid about making loads of noise.
I know this is a pretty simple thing and lots of people will have already done this, but losing that subconcious fear of making too much noise (or falling off the bed!) allowed me to relax and reach pleasure MUCH more easily.
I hope this helps someone who was struggling! It’s probably obvious to a lot of people, but I don’t have much floor space so it hadn’t crossed my mind before last night.
