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!

Should you avoid ejaculating after a session?

For those of you who have fully rewired or can at least have consistent prostate o’s, did you manage to get there by completely avoiding ejaculating after a session? I think the reason I haven’t progressed much lately is that I tend to jerk off after taking the out the toy (whether it be a dud or a good session), so perhaps ejaculating kind of cuts short the rewiring process. Any thoughts?

Will this position hinder my progress?

So I’ve had the most success by far using the do nothing method while laying face down on my belly. Usually laying in this position with the toy inside me will put a slight pressure on my dick, making it get hard (I make sure to point it down between my legs). This pressure kickstarts slight pleasurable sensations on my penis, which in turn trigger pleasure waves and multiple dry o’s radiating from my prostate.

I’ll admit the sensations in my prostate are definitely mixed with some penile pleasure (let’s call it 80/20 or 70/30), but these orgasms have never resulted in ejaculation, they’ve always been dry. Since I know some people swear by the rule of not stimulating your dick in any way during the rewiring process, I’m wondering if I should maybe focus on other positions or whether I can expect to make good progress in my journey to super O’s despite the penile sensations.

How to re-rewire?

Hello everyone,

So I’ve had my Aneros for about a year now. I started making good progress (slow and steady but I didn’t mind) and over the summer I was having sessions once a week with intense p-waves and multiple dry orgasms. I was also having pretty strong aless on the off days.

However life got in the way for a few months and I generally wasn’t in the mood, so I took a break. These past few weeks I’ve been trying to hop back on the Aneros train, so to speak, but I haven’t had much success (very mild p-waves, if at all, and no orgasms).

Has this happened to anyone else? How did you overcome it? I’m currently thinking of doing nofap while having a session every night or every other night, but I don’t know if that’s forcing things too much. I’d be interested in anything you guys have to say. Thanks

How to find deeper arousal?

So I’ve noticed the only sessions where I feel strong P-waves are those that I start feeling aroused even before I insert the Aneros. It feels like my prostate is craving the stimulation.

However I’ve found I don’t get to that highly aroused state very frequently. More often than not I insert the toy and feel relaxed but not very horny, and so not much happens. Porn doesn’t really arouse me as much as I’d like (maybe I’m desensitized?) and I’ve also tried abstaining from masturbation for several days and haven’t had much success with it.

On the other hand there’s been times when this prostate arousal comes up in a totally natural and effortless way (usually a day or two after my last session, even if the session itself was mild). Sadly it almost always happens during the day when I can’t take 30-60 minutes for an impromptu session. By the time I have some time to myself, the prostate arousal is long gone.

I guess my question is how I can access this deeper arousal within me when I *do* have time to play. (I think I got the relaxation down pat, I have some experience with meditation). Thanks for any advice!

Is progress supposed to be linear?

I often read people say that “each session is better than the last,” and I’m wondering if that’s been the case for other people.

My experience feels a lot like “one step forward, two steps back” instead, where I’ll have a good session (still nowhere near super O) followed by several duds. I’m guessing the experience of continually building upon the previous session occurs at a later stage, if at all?

Prostate seeming to turn off rather than on?

So I’ve been exploring prostate simulation for around 3 years, initially just with my fingers. I had some really good sessions along the way (strong p-waves and what felt like dry prostate orgasms), but I didn’t do it very often. Last year I decided to be more consistent with it and so I started doing it on average once a week instead of once a month-ish.

Pretty soon my prostate was “waking up.” Not every session was successful, but after a while I could distinctly feel prostate arousal (i.e. tingling in my taint, arousal in my rectum, prostate just craving to be touched, and even light to moderate p-waves that I could bring about just by thinking about rubbing it). Sounds like great progress, right?

However, the frustrating thing is these sensations almost always happened during the day, when I was busy and couldn’t do anything about them. Sure, they were very pleasurable, but I began to associate the sensations with “now’s not the time” and mentally trying to push them away so I could focus on work, etc.

Unfortunately, I think this began to affect my actual sessions, meaning once I had time to play, my prostate would be totally dormant and unaffected by stimulation, even if earlier in the day I had been strongly craving it. Since I kept “missing my boat” due to bad timing, so to speak, pretty soon my prostate went quiet again.

Should I totally abstain from ejaculating?

Some background: I just got my first Aneros toy over the weekend (Aneros Helix Trident) and used it twice with minimal results, though my lower body began to shake uncontrollably the first time, so I’m taking that as a good start.

I already have some prior experience with prostate stimulation. I’ve had some really intense pleasure waves just from fingering myself. They were way more intense than regular orgasms, and longer lasting. However my fingering sessions are very hit or miss. Around 70% to 80% of the time nothing happens and I give up after 30-ish minutes. Hence why I decided to get an Aneros.

So as I begin my Aneros journey, my theory is that if I lay off from touching my dick for the foreseeable future and only receive stimulation exclusively from my prostate, it’ll do a better job at “rewiring” me so that my odds go up from my current hit-or-miss situation. That means not jacking off during, after, or even in between sessions on off days– at least for a week or two.

Am I overthinking this? Should I masturbate like usual in between Aneros sessions? I’m currently planning on doing 2-3 times a week as suggested. Thanks for the feedback.
