Rumel's Ruminations – Part I

This Blog is in two Sections : Part II is my periodic blog of experiences (most recent at the top), Part I (this one) is just copies of some of my earliest Forum entries (oldest at the bottom)

12/17/07 : I read in the newspaper today about the death of singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg at the age of 56 due to advanced prostate cancer, boy did that bring a twinge of pain to my heart. He was an artist that I grew up listening to with a gentle thoughtful style I regularly enjoyed. It certainly gives me pause to think how fortunate I am that my own cancer was detected early enough for effective treatment to commence. I now have a very good prospect of becoming a long lived cancer survivor. To any of you guys who may read this blog entry, I strongly urge you to begin getting yearly PSA tests (especially if you are over the age of 50)to monitor for potential prostate cancer. It is a simple blood test, I would never have discovered my own cancer were it not for that finding of an increasing PSA level. Hopefully, upon conclusion of my own treatments, I can get back to enjoying the wonderful Aneros journey I began back in April.

Have now tried Helix and Progasm

Well I have now had the chance to try out my new models. The Helix, and the Progasm. Let me begin by saying I have only had minimal success with any model. The very first time I tried the SGX I got a nice tingling in my anus and a kind of light kissing response from my anus, but was never able to repeat that. I have read so much about aneros taking over and doing its own thing to massage the prostate, but never really understood what that was like.

Last session I cleaned up used marksman lube as an interal lube and then lubed the Helix with ID Millenium (found it to stay slipprier longer, even if it takes more to clean it up) I inserted Helix and relaxed. I started slow clenching of the anal muscles and found that there were more muscles I was using, I guess they are called the PC muscles, the ones by the Perineum. It took about 15 or 20 minuets but then I began to feel a kind of pulsing in my penis, not my anus or the PC muscles but in my penis like it was bobbing on my body. I have to admit I wanted to get back to the body shutters I had experienced the very first time I used the SGX, (nothing since)so I concentrated very hard on what I was doing. The pulsing in my penis began to grow very slowly, and I could start to feel something, what I was not sure in the area of my prostate. It was vague and undefined. After about 40 minutes I decieded I was not free enough so I put a pillow under my bent leg (legs were in position as noted in the instructions). It began to feel much more comfortable, and I could feel myself relaxing even more than I had been. I felt a quiver in my body much like I had the first time I used the SGX, not as strong, or as long lasting but definately there.

An update

Hi all, I have not gone away. Thanx to rumel I found my blog I had thought had been removed. Anyway, today I posted the below to the forum when it really was meant to be here. I just wanted all to have the info, and the experiences I felt today.

I don't believe I have ever posted to the forum. I did have a blog that I started late spring, or early summer 07, but think it's been removed because of lack of use. I didn't want to post negative experiences to the whole group feeling there are way more negative users then positive ones.

My journey started with the Helix. I had no luck at all with it. Maybe because I do have anal experience with the real thing if you know what I mean. I'm not gay, or bi, but I am very bi curious. I believe it is a very natural feeling in both sexes. Some of us accept, and some don't, no problem!

But Wait! That's not all you get!

First a big thank you is due to B Mayfield, Buster, Darwin, Onthepath, Rumel,grateful and many others too numerous to mention! I have been meaning to do this for about a week but all my free time has gone into rewiring courteous of my Helix and MGX. I am fully addicted and have been averaging about 2.5 sessions per day, whenever I have had a free hours time. Too much you say….not for the full addicted.

After working my way through full body muscle contractions and a host or other detours, I was finally able to get anal contractions going about 4 days ago.

But Wait! That’s not all you get!

I have been to the edge in several sessions and have had a nice taste of the p waves but not the Super O and it still alludes me. I have put a days rest in between sessions several times but my addiction won’t let me do more than that. I’m working every other day so I just have too much free time.

But Wait! That’s not all you get! Call tonight and you get …..

The Begining

Hey,

Well I received my Aneros earlier this morning. The anticipation was finally over. But I wanted to wait for my first session til tonight, before bed.

I ordered the Progasm. I know it might be the wrong move but, I decided to just take the risk. I've had anal play experience with my gf and me attempting to massage my own prostate.

Anyways, on with my first session. I wasn't too intimidated with the size of the Progasm. However it is a bit dense. You can knock someone out with it (haha). I did all the procedures B Mayfield suggested. I prelubed my rectum and the Progasm. I slowly started to insert it (The scoop maneuver)and I've got to say WHAT A FEELING! It already stimulated my prostate from the start. Then I let my body adapt to the aneros.

When I finally relaxed I started contrating my PC muscle. OH MAN, the feeling was just over-the-top. I immediately started to have dribbles of pre-cum. Then I tried different positions to see what stimulates the prostate better. I tried the suggested position, on your side and the top leg 90 degrees to the chest, it limited the mobility of aneros (I'm a bit on the chunky side, my butt prevented it from moving…haha). I tried laying on my back, with my leg spread and my feet on the bed. This hit the spot pretty good, so I stuck with this position for a while. Then I tried doggy, this stimulated me the right way as well. The last position I tried is this one I made up, turned my computer around and had my knees on seat and leaning against the back-rest. I recommend this position if you need to watch porn during you sessions. But you're going to need to stand up a couple of times to prevent your legs from falling asleep.

Hornsby's Journey

I'm starting this blog as a means of chronicling what i learn about the use of the Aneros and my own internal workings as i start to use the Helix.

I've been reading the Forum rather voraciously over the last 3 or so weeks while i've been waiting for my Helix to arrive. This is my first excursion into the use of any form of anal or prostate play. But the comments in the Forum and testimonials on the webpage were just too good to not give it a try.

As a result of some of what i've read, i've spent the last few weeks exploring the various muscle contraction types that Darwin, B Mayfield and others describe in detail. I wanted to be learn both where my sweet spot was located and also how to identify and isolate the various muscle groups involved. I'd been quite aware of my PC muscle and sphincter before – but never realised what good uses they could be put to.

So today my parcel finally arrived and i was fortunate enough to have a lengthy period of time to myself. I took B Mayfields advice and had a lengthy warm shower to relax after having cleaned out my anal passages with some warm water.

Minimizing Full Body Contractions

I've been experimenting with delaying or minimizing the full body contractions to see if I will experience something different. Some users have mentioned that they feel like it short circuits the ramp up in energy that they feel. For me, it's like I'm switching gears when driving. The energy level is analogous to engine rpms. The initial ramp up in energy is when I'm in first gear and accelerating. The rpms get faster and faster. Then I switch gears (the full body contractions start) and the rpms (the energy level) drop back somewhat. The contractions vary in strength and speed but at some point, there is always another build up of energy. When I reach the point to switch gears again, the contractions stop and I feel those blissful full body tingling waves. So, while this is very pleasurable, I wonder whether delaying the contractions will yield different and perhaps even more pleasurable feelings. If so, then this will give me additional choices when I have my sessions: Do I want to have a session with full body contractions, a more subtle one, or both?

What I basically do is stop the Aneros contractions before I get to the point where I know the full body contractions will kick in. I've had enough of those to know when they're about to start. This allows me to experiment with some of the other contractions since I typically use anal contractions exclusively. I've tried using PC and rectal contractions before but so far I've had limited success with them. With a smaller unit such as the Eupho, I'm getting better at feeling the effects of moving it around.

First Super T

Well, after complaining about how I didn't like masturbating with the Aneros, I finally had myself a Super T and it was awesome!

I had had a couple of edging sessions the previous day without the Aneros and without ejaculating. Edging feels wonderful but it's hard to stop. I want to feel it just one more time!

Since I like edging, I thought I'd re-read B Mayfield's post on the Super T and once again, I was inspired! I lubed up and inserted the MGX since it dives right in and has less of a chance of being expelled. It also applies just the right amount of pressure on the prostate for masturbation – less than the Helix, but more than the Eupho. I was on the bed kneeling and alternating between that and a sitting position on the back of my legs. As soon as I got close to ejaculating, I'd stop and do a few contractions with the Aneros. I did this several times. I then started trying to shift into a position where I would be lying flat on my back, all the while keeping on the edge or just below it. That's part of my feeble attempt at trying to retrain my body so I can ejaculate while lying down. Usually when I do that, the feeling goes away so I have to go back to the kneeling position so I can get myself worked back up again. I finally got to the point when I was lying down that I knew I was about to ejaculate, so I stopped stroking and resumed contractions with the Aneros. The orgasm and ejaculation were intense. I had several strong spurts with lots of semen. I hadn't ejaculated like that in ages. But the fun wasn't over.

Subsequent Sessions

This is Part 2 of my catch-up posts. I bought the Helix and Eupho package in early July of 2006 so I’ll discuss what I experienced after the first few months of use. Please see my earlier post about my initial sessions.

Bought the MGX
I bought the MGX in December of 2006. I was curious whether the ribs on it would provide additional stimulation to my anus. The Helix and Eupho don’t have those ribs so they only provide minimal stimulation. I had read some posts where some users liked the ribs initially but found them to be annoying later. However, I had to see for myself since each person’s likes and dislikes are different.

When I first inserted it, I really felt it dig into my perineum and it started hurting just like when I first began with the Helix. I was surprised by this since the days of me having perineum pain with the Helix and Eupho were long gone. That being the case, I was glad that I didn’t purchase the MGX first. I can only imagine the pain that a newbie would feel having never used an Aneros before. After a while, this too subsided so it didn’t bother me anymore. Another thing I didn’t like about the MGX is that the larger tab caused it to grab the hairs on my perineum. I didn’t have that problem with the Helix and Eupho with their smaller tabs.

Initial Sessions

Hi All,

I've been an Aneros user for several months now. I bought the Helix and Eupho package back in early July 2006. Since I've been using them for several months now, I thought I'd record what I've been experiencing – before I forget it all! Hopefully, it will be good for me as a review and also help others. This is a bit long, but I have a lot to say.

I'll give some background to start off with as well as my early experiences. New experiences seem to be coming at a slower pace now, so I imagine that my posts will not be very frequent once I get these initial catch-up posts out of the way. But, I will try to keep it up to date. Admittedly, if nothing new happens to me then there won't be much reason to post!

Background
I'm single, straight, and in my early 40's. I've experimented with anal play and prostate massage on rare occasions in the past, mostly with small slender objects around the house or my fingers, but it never really did enough for me that I wanted to keep doing it. After checking around on some internet sites about masturbation (seeing if I could teach this somewhat old dog some new tricks!), I found where some of them described how great prostate massage could be for masturbation. So, that led me here, and boy I'm glad it did!
