I have been slowly but surely reviewing the Aneros Maximus model. I hate hyping things up or shooting them down before I try them a few times. If I am expecting amazing, mind-boggling results from the toy, and then I am let down when lightning doesn’t shoot out of it, or I expect it to break or do nothing for me, I feel foolish and feel my review suffers. So this review has been a long time in the making, based on the reputation of the Aneros brand.

The Maximus is smaller than the Progasm, but a little larger than the Helix. Both the Helix and the Progasm have their strengths and weaknesses, but I found myself using the 'Goldilocks Protocol.' One was too big and one was too small, thus I set my sights on the Maximus, which looked “just right.”

It’s only 1 3/4” at its widest point, and slides in like a charm with minimal effort. I was using a generic, water-based gel lube for the job, as I had the feeling (this being my first foray) viscosity could be as important a factor as quantity. Since the Maximus is made of non-porous medical grade plastic, there was no need to use a condom on it nor is the water-based a must.

Like all Aneros, the Maximus is designed to cradle and massage your prostate. The prostate is like the male version of the G-Spot, known as the P-Spot, and stimulating it through massage or vibration makes for some intense orgasms. When the Maximus is inserted you can feel it right around your P-Spot.

The Maximus and all Aneros toys work by contracting and releasing the muscles in the anus to make the piece move hands-free. The Maximus is harder to move right off the bat than I had expected. It’s definitely a toy that needs to be worked towards, otherwise you risk being very unsatisfied with the money spent.

The Maximus isn't everything I wanted, based on the prior reviews and reputation. Although once you get your rhythm down, the Maximus is a good pleasure device, I have yet to reach orgasm of any kind using only the Maximus. I will say that, although it does feel good, it feels a bit uncomfortable at times. I think it may be a bit top heavy, but I’m not sure. It wasn't the easiest to use for a prostate massage, but still felt really good despite that, and it was a different kind of orgasm with it than without.

The Maximus is a great product that falls short only because the Mayans failed to make us all of equivalent anatomy (I apologize if I have offended any Mayans in the process of the review.) I might recommend the Maximus to someone who is maybe more experienced in P-Spot play as they may have a better idea what to look for in sensations.

This has not proven to be "it" for me. That being said, I am not unsatisfied, nor would I not recommend it. Your mileage may vary, as well as your anatomy.
