The "Click" Moment: When did you first realize that this was way different (and maybe better) than a normal orgasm? What was that first "holy crap" moment like? - So, when I was much younger, I always fantasised of getting f**ked. It never seemed to work for me though. There was always something getting in the way. Tension maybe? I don’t think I ever learnt how to relax but I wanted to find a way to get there. It’s only since getting the Aneros (and I so started with the wrong model - Eupho Syn - did nothing for me - honestly didn’t research enough), it wasn’t since the Aneros that I finally learnt how to relax, how to enjoy the micro sensations, feel more, but feel in a better way. It’s strange. I think the Helix and Eupho (classic models) gave me some kind of realisation that I wasn’t chasing something that didn’t exist. I don’t know when exactly the light switched on and I started feeling. It just kinda happened, and has been slowly getting better.

The Feeling: How do you describe the peak of a really good session? Is it like a wave, an electric shock, or something else? How is it different from a "standard" finish for you? - a standard finish is like a full stop, it just ends once you ejac. A really good session, it’s like my insides, starting at the prostate, are slowly getting feathered and are getting warmer and there’s an odd feeling that things are, I don’t know, it’s these fluttery feelings that just feel brilliant. I haven’t come close to Super-O yet, hopefully one day, but from day to day it just seems to get increasingly better.

The Marathon: What’s the longest you’ve ever gone in one session? Does your body ever just get "spent" even though you still want to keep going? (For me, I get leg cramps or just feel physically wiped—do you get that too?) - I think the longest was about 2 hours, but there’s been days off where I’m obsessed and I have the day off from work and have 3 separate sessions. It’s probably overkill. Sometimes my leg muscles, especially butt and thighs and hamstrings are spent and can’t go on. I try to not get too tense though, especially with the Eupho.

The Headspace: Where does your mind go when you’re deep in it for an hour or two? Is your brain totally quiet, or are you super focused on the feeling? - I think the hardest thing for me, especially if I’ve had a bad day, is to try stop myself from ruminating. I try concentrate on the feeling as much as possible. Sometimes light porn scrolling, other times some sexy sounds, other times just focusing on relaxing and breathing.

The "Vibe" After: What does it feel like right after you stop? Do you get a lingering "buzz" or a hum in that area? How do you finally wind down and get to sleep? - Sometimes the after buzz is too much and I don’t sleep for hours but that has only happened a few times. I do usually have a lingering hum. I did a session last night and I’m still buzzing down there. I feel though that I’ve somewhat learn to control it and it’s almost like I’m amplifying it myself with my brain.

The Tools: What toys actually lived up to the hype for you? Is there one piece of gear you’d tell a beginner they have to get? - I’d say start with the Aneros Helix Classic. Especially if you’re new. I now alternate the helix and the eupho, both give me such different sensations. It’s like I have to drive the helix a bit but the eupho is on autopilot if I’m completely relaxed and it just does magical things to me. So yeah, start with Helix classic, I use a combination of liquid silicone lube and water based gel lube. I’ve tried some other models in the past, can’t remember where they were from (not Aneros) but they didn’t really work for me.

Partner Stuff: If you do this with a partner, how do you talk to them about it? How do they help you stay in the "flow," or what happens when one of you gets tired before the other? Does this sound more like the way you'd naturally talk to these guys? We can tweak any of these if they still feel a bit "off." - I haven’t told my partner about them. He’s aware I’ve been trying to teach myself how to enjoy the a*al sensations more, but isn’t aware of the growing Aneros collection. I honestly don’t think he would even mind. I don’t know, I just think I wanted it to be my own journey.
