“No Aneros? … No Problem!”

Introduction
Yes, I’m referring to Aless. That concept whereby a guy gets all the pleasure of a prostate massage, but without the massager! How is this possible? Let me explain…..

Technique
There is really not much to learn here. All that is required (IMO) is a willingness to activate and stimulate the prostate by some simple anal/PC contractions (also known as kegels). It takes just a little bit of practice but once learned, the technique is almost automatic. The intervals of those contractions can be far apart or closely spaced. The idea here is to begin to feel it just a little in the prostate. The rest will be accomplished by your body’s own response. The important thing (I find) is not to stop too quickly! When I start to feel that unmistakable “flutter down-under” I know I am on the right path!

Since I wear ‘chastity cups’ regularly, I find that while wearing one is the perfect opportunity to practice my kegels. Especially while sitting down at a computer, It doesn’t take any preparation and I can start and stop at any time.

One thing that can be a little problematic is when I start to do some contractions in a public place. I have to be careful that I don’t get my prostate stimulated too much. Otherwise, I may react with a slight moan due to a euphoric, orgasmic feeling! But usually, I have enough self-control to the point that only I know what is going-on down there!

“Flatlines and Cravings”

Introduction
I am currently in Day 7 of SR and Day 71 of NoFap ® PMO. I still feel like I’m in a ‘flatline’ period but just the other night, I experienced an intense craving for sex (or at least an ejaculation). I have night-time erections every night but this one was different. At the time, I believe I was wearing a ‘cup’ and the unusual thing about this erection was not only with the physical reality but the mental state I seemed to be in at the time. Let me explain….

Extreme Craving
The steel-hard erection was accompanied by a mental state that I can only describe as an unsatisfied need for sex. Yes, I mean penetrative sex with ejaculation. It was a strong feeling and one which I have not felt in a long time. I have read that these cravings are entirely normal while in NoFap ® and the best way to cope is to focus on something else! Thank goodness I was wearing a cup!

More Spontaneous Erections
I have noticed recently that I am experiencing more erections (or at least half-ones) not by looking at porn but a pretty woman or a great, sexy body! I suppose this is an entirely normal reaction. It means that I am being turned-on sexually the right way! This is almost an automatic response from me. It can, however, be somewhat embarrassing if the erection comes-on at an inappropriate time such as on the beach or in the pool. But a guy has to cope the best way he can.

“Meet The SGX (Again)!”

Introduction
I probably have not used my SGX Classic in a year. The SGX is the smaller version of the MGX Classic and it is no longer offered by Aneros. I decided that the time was right for a session; the SGX was the massager of choice.

Session
I lubed-up the SGX with SSG. I did not pre-lube for this session but that was okay. One think I like about the SGX (and the MGX) is the ribbed anal stem which provides a distinctive level of anal pleasure with each contraction. In spite of its small size, I knew that my prostate was being adequately engaged.

Almost right from the start of this 25-minute session, I began to experience an erection while wearing my XO ‘chastity cup’. I definitely had some ‘pumping’ action going on during this session which I could feel. I did quite a bit of low-grade moaning too. Being still in SR and NoFap ® I would consider this to be a therapeutic prostate-massage. About mid-way through the session, I removed the cup and just observed the nice amount of fluid emanating from my cock. After a while, I felt that this session was winding-down to a conclusion and I was quite satisfied with the feeling. As I have noted before, I now will be entering a ‘pseudo refractory period’ of about 1-2 hours during which time I will generally not be experiencing any erection or feeling of arousal.

“I’ve Been Cupped! — A Primer”

Introduction
While reading some recent posts in the Forum, there appears to be some lingering questions about the use of athletic ‘cups’ as they enhance our Aneros sessions. Having experienced this topic and written about it in somewhat great detail (along with @BigGlansDC), I felt it may be the time now for a refresher. Here goes…

Semen Retention, Chastity and Cups
I began my SR quest with the use of chastity cages. My best-fitting cage was the CB-6000S which I wore on and off for about 8 months. I didn’t wear it 24/7 but usually for 10-16 hours a day. It got me in the habit of delaying my ejaculations while at the same time, stimulated me so that my Aneros sessions became better.

At some point, I ‘discovered’ athletic groin cups—-or ‘chastity cups’ as I now call them. I had not used them in school for sports (like baseball) and so I relied on regular athletic supporters—–jockstraps—-when I needed support and protection. The first time I bought a ‘cup’ and tried it on, I could not believe the feeling! Now I must admit that I probably have had a jockstrap fetish most of my life. The jockstrap was worn to enhance my masturbation practice and I used it regularly.

Background
So I wake up around 3 AM with a steel-hard erection. I know it will take about 40-45 minutes to subside before I can even think about getting back to sleep. In the meantime, I try my best to keep my hands to myself. But just a little touch on my frenulum through my short PJ bottoms sends a ‘horny shock’ throughout my body and makes me wish I could have a wet dream or at least a somewhat involuntary ejaculation. But alas, neither is happening.

The combination of semen retention (SR) (Day 8) and NoFap PMO (Day 64) means that I have really scaled-back my ejaculation frequency. I now have them only to control my blue-balls; there is no prolonged pleasure. An edging session is out of the question!

But then I starting thinking about this some more……

Do We Guys Have To Get Horny?
I suppose some guys would say “NO!” But upon closer inspection, these things come to mind. First, all ‘normal’ males MUST HAVE night-time erections (called NPTs). These will come whether the guy wants them or not. They are designed to keep a male’s penis healthy. With the regular ‘up-and-down’ of each erection (perhaps 5-7 each night), the penis is invigorated with new blood and thus is always ready for its primary mission: ejaculation.

Introduction
Had a great session with Helix-Trident very early this morning. One thing I am doing differently these days (last 3 sessions) is to pre-lube. What a difference it makes! Not only eases insertion, but allows the Aneros to ‘move’ effortlessly with just moderate anal/pc contractions. I found that the easiest, most hygienic way is to use a latex exam glove, then apply a generous amount of lube (in my case, Slippery Stuff Gel) on the index finger, and pretend I am getting a DRE from my urologist! That deep insertion not only feels good but allows even the inner sphincter to get slick. And that allows the Aneros (which is also lubed) a most facile entry!

Can’t Say Enough About ‘Chastity Cups’
I was wearing my Mueller cup for this morning’s session and the reason I usually select this model is due to the placement of the leg straps which are quite far-apart. They do not interfere with either the P- or K-tabs of the Helix-Trident (or other models). It does not allow me to contact my cock during sessions and I can lie on my side or on my stomach and not have any interference.

“Chastity Groin Cup: A Fapstronaut’s Friend”

Background
I am surprised that I was unable to find a connection online. While abstaining from PMO in NoFap*, it is easy for me to avoid porn (P). In fact, I have done so for over 60 days already! Yes, I will get urges and a few thoughts remembered, but in general, I am abstaining from porn for the long-haul. I can do that!

The night-time erections are starting to return stronger than during the last ‘flatline’. In fact, I had a couple of automatic, spontaneous erections during the day yesterday that really surprised me. They were so strong that I was starting to leak some precum.

Groin Cups**
Now, what does all this have to do with groin cups you may ask? Well, for me, it is only natural that I control my urge to masturbate and ejaculate (MO) while practicing NoFap. To just “will it” and keep my hands off sometimes is too difficult, especially when the arousal is strong and my SR days are increasing. To counteract the urge, during those times, I find that putting-on an athletic hard cup (groin protection) is the best solution. It doesn’t matter which one I choose, they all will completely prevent me from making contact with my package and that will prevent me from masturbating.

“Yet Another Flatline?”

[Note: NoFap is a registered trademark owned by Alexander Rhodes and NoFap LLC]

Background
Stats: SR Day 3 NoFap PMO Day 59. My last SR run ended at Day 9. I wasn’t really feeling the ‘blue-balls’ (yet) but I just wanted to ‘clear the pipes’. I did a weekly prostate massage with my MGX Classic. What an awesome ride! About 30 minutes and I thoroughly enjoyed the therapy! I am pre-lubing before insertion and that is making a world of difference in my sessions! I’ll be sure to keep it up!

I still feel the need to prohibit any tendency to masturbate by wearing a cup, usually in the early-morning hours after I awake with an erection. I just find that the hard cup keeps my hands away from my package and, yes, it just feels so good!

Flatline?
Why do I think I am entering yet another so-called flatline? My night time erections are still there but they don’t seem as plentiful, or rather, they are not waking me up like before. I really don’t feel close to the PONR like I have. During the day, I have zero erections. I’m not complaining, but it would be nice to get a little bit of a rise once in a while.

“NoFap Erections: Dancing Around A Wet Dream”

Background
Now at SR Day 6 and NoFap PMO Day 54. My night-time erections (since NoFap) have been incredibly strong. I feel like I am oh-so-close to a wet dream! I know that I probably will not have one when I am awake, but I have been having rather vivid dreams lately, mostly of a non-sexual nature. Just last night, while awake with a steel-hard erection and not wearing a cup (yet!) even a very slight movement while on my stomach nudged me ever-so-close to the PONR and, potentially, an ejaculation. All without using my hands at all. I honestly believe that I am headed for a wet dream any night now. I still must relieve my ‘blue-balls’ with an ejaculation but the stimulation is less than I would received from a HJ. Technically, not really a relapse since I am completely abstaining from porn now (and binaural beats as well).

Erection Quality with NoFap
I believe I have entered and exited at least two (maybe three) so-called NoFap “flatlines” since starting NoFap. Sometimes, I will have erections during the day, other days, I will not be aroused at all. But the real ‘magic’ now seems to occur at night when I will be subject to the regular NPTs. It is just that these erections seem to be different from the ones I remember prior to NoFap. I honestly look forward to going to bed now, in anticipation of those erections!

“It’s All For Prostate Health!”

[This blog was inspired by @Lth0ms0n, thanks!]

Introduction
I had read an interesting question on the Forum from @Lth0ms0n this morning, having to do with involuntaries. What are they? And that got me interested and intrigued. So the next thing I know, I am prepping for a ‘therapeutic’ session with the HIH 950. Here are the details……

Session
I am currently in Day 9 of SR with no hint of blue balls (yet). I am also into Day 49 of NoFap ®. I’ve only had an occasional ejaculation, about every 10 days to control my blue balls. Other than that, no masturbation for me, period. And no porn, ever again. But I still need to keep my prostate healthy. So this morning, I got ready for a nice session with the 950. I was already wearing my Mueller cup to prevent an unintentional ejaculation; it worked. I lubed-up with SSG not only the massager but my opening as well (it made a big difference!)

I started-out on my side. Before too long, while just relaxing and performing the ‘do-nothing’ technique, I began to feel a ‘twitch’ deep-down in my prostate. No, it did not feel like a fatigued-muscle spasm since I had just started the session. But it was something I just could not control. Around the same time, I remember, I had this erection develop as well as an uncontrollable whole-body ‘shudder’, almost like a jolt of electricity running all through me. Let’s not mince words here; these actions were ENTIRELY out of my control! And that IMHO is the essence of involuntaries—-by definition*, you do NOT CONTROL them! Just as you are ‘forced’ to excrete waste by involuntary muscular contractions in your colon, you are likewise ‘forced’ to experience the nuanced ‘pleasures’ of a prostate massage.
