First Mini-O

Just a quick update as this is the middle of the holiday season. Everything is very busy and there just isn’t time for quality sessions. To make a long story short, I got some time and decided on the Peridise, beginners edition. The first half hour passed without so much as a twitch. Time for a cigar. No bannana’s! Oh well, might as well hit the showers. But I saw the exercise ball and thought, what the heck, why not watch an old episode of “Three’s Company” and bounce around on the exercise ball! Now that got some pleasurable feelings going and definitely lifted the session above a dud – not the best, not the worst.

Then, “Three’s Company” is over, time for a shower – this is were things get interesting. The water felt fantastic when it was pounding the area right below my navel. My water pressure is weak and I do not have a flexible hose, but the hot water immediately got some p-waves going and involuntaries working. It must have lasted 10 minutes. Pleasure and contractions. Self-perpetuating (as long as the water was on the spot). Almost a textbook definition of a mini-o. I didn’t hurry it along or finish it off. Just something to build on in a couple of days.

The Peridise made it exquisite. As I am learning, slow is better. Let it build up. If this had been the Helix, I probably would have ended up with a hands free wet one. But the Peridise makes you work it.

I think I had my 1st Dry-O!!!

I’m pretty sure I had my first Dry O today! OK, all you newbies and veterans alike, here it is. After about an hour of relaxing, I got on the exercise ball. I had noticed good feelings before with this technique (As it turns out, lying on the body ball is a great way to use the computer without having to sit down. Search ‘Body Ball’ in the forum and there are extensive threads and even a Wiki entry!).

I noticed that positive prostate feeling that signifies either a hands free wet one (achieved on fourth session and never again – made it by rocking on the couch.) or a Dry One coming. This time, 4 and half months later, I had an intense orgasm. I was smart enough not to stop and look. Afterwards, when I looked, there was a little puddle, but I didn’t feel done. I had some things to do and an hour later I still was feeling little twitches. Applying a quick manual penis rub revealed that I was definitely ready to orgasm again the traditional way!

Tried Shea Butter!

Keep trying new things, right? After a wonderful Vegas vacation and 5 aneros free days, I thought I’d give one of the forum suggestions a try. Thanks to Love_is’s fine description of Shea Butter usage I went out and bought some. Found some 100% pure Shea Butter at the local Whole Foods. I dug out about a teaspoon full and shaped two little balls about the size of raisons and stuffed them in manually. I then spread a thin coating over the Helix and it slid in easily. I even tasted a little Butter first – if you can’t eat it, you shouldn’t insert it. I don’t think it would be very appetizing on toast but it didn’t gag me either.

I had been using Maximus lube for the last couple of months with fine results, but let me tell ya, the Shea Butter is the schnizzel.

Some comparisons:
Maximus is liquid, Shea Butter is solid at room temp – like cold butter in the refrigerator.
Maximus disappears after two hours, Shea Butter (just a small amount) lasted the entire 2.5 hours session and was still going strong!
Maximus is better right off the get go, I gave Shea Butter an extra ten minutes to soften.
– I usually get involuntaries quickly with Maximus, took much longer with the Butter.
– Though one times usage is not enough to form a qualitative session sample, I got no gas with the Butter. Maximus, maybe because I’m injecting 4 ml. of the stuff, can bring on a reaction. The Butter never mad my stomach flutter. It was a very gastric event free session. This, and the long lasting lube overcome the slower start in my mind.

Oct 9 – Nov 12

Still averaging 3 to 4 times a week, still averaging 2 hours a session.

Past months highlights. At the end of one session when I decided to ‘finish off’, I came twice in quick succession – maybe 3 or 4 minutes apart. I didn’t ever do that even as teenager. Had one more mini p-wave this week. Surprised the heck out of me and then it went away.

Past months lowlights. Not enough time? Had some gas a couple times? Lost weight because I don’t each lunch, pizza or spicy food and I drink less?

Observations: Don’ts – Watch what you eat! As you get older, darn near anything can give you gas. Avoid spicy food the night before a big planned session. Aneros and drinking doesn’t work either. Don’t eat half a pizza and then think you can have a great session. All in all, this thing is less tolerant than sex with the missus but a lot more available.

Do’s: Use it with the missus any chance you get! Try things you read about in the forum.

Thoughts while using: Is anybody writing a book on this thing? How many aneros units have been sold? I wonder what it would be like to go on a rollercoaster with this thing in me? What about standing in front of some speakers at a concert? I was thinking of suggesting in the forum that we, as a group, start a ‘Full Moon Club’ where all the forum members around the world have sessions on days and nights with a full moon. That way, collectively, we generate Coherent Orgasmic Energy Waves that circle the earth. Still trying to think of a schnazzy anacronym for it though.

I love progress – first mini P-Wave?

I don't know if this is catagorized as an official day-after effect, but the thing that's most noticable for me is that I seem to be attuned to a different frequency in my body. It's like that roller coaster feeling in your stomach, except sometimes its in your teeth or a foot or an arm. Mostly in the stomach though. Oh, and that guy that says 'don't forget your nipples'? He's so right. They are waking up.

Today the frequency seemed to intensify throughout my session – at one point culminating in an intense abominal twitch. There and gone. A mini build up that my body remembers and wants to repeat.

Going on five months, and maybe my first little mini p-wave!

Measuring Aneros Time

October 4th – 8th
Decided this week that I needed to stop having sessions every day and hold off to every other day. On 10/4 I took a nice long hot bath. If you have never done this, it should be on your “to do” list. Only then will you ponder the thermal transference properties for this particular kind of plastic.

On 10/8 I engaged in one of favorite pastimes – Using the Peridise while I sit in the garage and smoke an hour and a half stogie and stare out at Suburbia. Reclining on a camping chair I can either read or just pretend to read a book while doing my rear end calisthenics.

Measuring Aneros Time. How do you measure Aneros time? I finished my first bottle of lube today. It was 250 ml. One full bottle of lube down the path. Do you measure time on the road from the start of use date? How many sessions you’ve had? How many total hours of Aneros ‘in’ time? Since haven’t been keeping a log, I figure its about 5 ml. per session so that makes about 50 sessions, 2 hours per session, started in August, so comes to about 4 times a week. Far less time then I could have put into internet poker.

Registration Day

October 2008 – October 3rd – Registered for the forum.

Where I am today. Isn’t that just the question everyday? What is it that compels a man, in mid-life, to start making internet adult toy purchases? Compels a man to experiment with anal devices, become an expert on lubes, fish oil and various mid-extremity muscle groups? Comb a single forum, dedicated to men’s pleasure, for advice on orgasm, diet, binaural input, dopamine, spiritual guidance and addiction?

What compels me to risk my internet anonymity, to actually blog about experiences so intimate I am barely able to communicate this to my life partner without a liter or two of red wine in me?

Is it just the search for the super-o? Not really. The journey has already taken me to a new level of intimacy with Mrs. J4. Some of you are way over my head with your chakra’s and kundalini’s. Then again, two months ago I didn’t know I had a perineum. So, where am I on the path? It doesn’t matter. “As we rewire we are all reconnected”, says one of the forum experts with his signature. There are places beyond orgasm that I want to experience. This, apparently, is the journey I seek.

Thank you to the regulars here who have made it worth my while to come out “in public”. You people have a lot to share and I appreciate it enough to register so I can say it out loud.

4th Month

September 2008 – I purchase a 5 cc. lube applicator over the internet. The blunt end is perfect for anal use. I also purchase Maximus lube. The old lube I had contained glycerin – not pleasant.

Got the go-ahead to purchase the Peredise Starter Set. Received and tried it right away – nice, but so far my preference and results are with the Helix. Mrs. J4 tried the Peredise when I was out of town with no results at all. We have not had a session with both of us using Aneros.

Mrs. J4 and I have, however, had several sessions together when I have been using the helix. Each one is better than the last. I get more results with her input than anything I can achieve alone.

3rd Month

August 2008 – Kids go back to school mid month and I’m lucky enough to be a stay at home dad. The first week I get to have a session every day. This is fun and I have some good feelings. I’m also trying to figure out how to tell my wife. I’m pretty sure she’d be OK with it, and maybe even interested. So, typical me, I wait for a good time to have an intimate talk with her – Friday night, at the end of the first week of school for the kids and during a neighborhood block party. She’s kind of accepting – she waits for the end of the party and makes me take a shower with her – she wants to insert it in me herself! After almost two decades together, it’s nice to know we can still share the intimacy and explore the next step together.

2nd Month

July 2008 – Thinking the Aneros product might be mainstream, I drive to a local Adult Toy Store. I guess it’s not mainstream. Nobody carries this product or has heard of it. Being a straight laced kind of middle America guy – there’s not a lot of places where main street meets anal stimulators. I haven’t talked to my wife about any of this. I pull the trigger and order it off the internet. Maybe she won’t notice the credit card bill for a prostate massager amidst all the other back to school purchases.

Next up is the quest for lube and lube delivery systems. I’ve got a couple days and some year old lube for the only other vibrator we ever purchased. I read someplace in the forums that someone used an animal medicine syringe they bought from a pet store. I go out and buy one. I can’t even look the check out girl in the eye. I’m glad I don’t have to tell anyone my lame story about a sick cat.

The Helix arrives and magically the wife and kids go out of town. The first time in eight years I get the house to myself. The animal medicine syringe is a disaster. There is a raised rim around the end to keep a cap on. It hurts and I abandon it (later I try to sand the ridge down but it makes the end too sharp). I find a spare children’s medicine dropper. This works like a champ. I have my first session.
