When I first read reports of the Aneros MGX|Aneros™ MGX providing hands-free, toe-curling, full-body orgasms, I was intrigued. I’m naturally a skeptic, though; add to that the fact that I’m completely hetero and had never had the slightest inclination to put anything up my ass, and there was a huge amount of hesitation. Nevertheless, I eventually came around to the decision that I had to at least give it a try.

When it first came, I weighed it in my hands, pondering whether something so simple-looking could really be responsible for much pleasure. “Here goes nothing,” I said to myself, as I gave it some lube (you don’t really need much) and slipped it in. After I got used to the sensation, I realized that it actually felt kind of nice! The Aneros comes with some tips on how to enjoy it, and so I started doing some of the prescribed contraction exercises. As the Aneros started moving around inside me, this started producing some novel feelings, and I felt that there might be something bigger just over the horizon. I never quite got there, though, as my muscles tired and I couldn’t sustain the feelings. Nevertheless, I could tell that there was something potentially special going on.

I came back to the toy lots of times over the next month, trying hard to push myself over the edge with it. Each time, I could feel the tipping point getting closer and closer, but always just tantalizingly out of reach. I almost gave up in frustration, but the promise of new discoveries always drew me back to it. Finally, one day it came. I can’t really say what I was doing differently – maybe it just took me that long to really get used to what the Aneros was trying to do – but out of nowhere, the dam just broke. My whole body started jerking around on the bed and I could barely breathe, as my ass just clenched the toy like a vise and refused to let go. I’d say that it was a real eye-opening experience, except that my eyes were screwed shut the entire time! I couldn’t tell you if it went on for 30 seconds or 3 minutes, but it was absolutely mind-blowing.

So, um, yeah! It works, if you’re patient with it. You’re unlikely to get results right out of the box, and if you’re just looking for a quick, no-fuss orgasm, this is the wrong toy for you. But trust me, it’s worth the wait.
