OH wow... excuse me...I have to indulge in a little Grant fantasy now. It's good to know that some men aren't afraid to actually try out something that gets pushed on women quite a bit. Please don't let this be the last "I did it for Science"! It's too good to stop! InsomniacGirl ..

Grant Stoddard is so utterly adored. I have had to send some of my very own "tight-ass" friends to Hooksexup just for the sake of "I Did it For Science". Absolutely adored...

Well written, very funny and titillating! At the risk of sounding tawdry, I’m a bit turned on too…

I want one! I've tried a few butt plugs (including vibrating ones), a couple of vibrators, fingers, and fruit (hasn't everybody tried a banana at some time???). I love the tickly feeling and heightened sensations. It's nice to know I'm not the only bloke to enjoy a bit of bum play every now and then. I hate the gay and "that must hurt" connotations that go with anal sex and anal play. I'm glad to see Grant had the courage to try it, and admit to liking it. :)

Grant, you should try using it during sex with a girlfriend. One of mine put me on to having a small anal vibrator on and in during sex and it was amazingly intense. The only drawback was having it feel so good that I couldn't contain myself and finished way before she did. But, she thought that was good and would only "allow me to use it" on certain occassions.

Great article! While it was entertaining reading, like another reader, I found Grant's science project a bit of a turn-on. My husband and I have both experimented with back-door fun and have found it an interesting treat from the norm. After reading this, I may surprise him with a little gift... Thanks, Grant!

ohh im a bit turned on myself by that a man doing this is a turn on alone i love it when a man isnt afraisd to touch himself!!!!! thanks for the fantasy now i have to go indulge

Did you actually stick a man made polymer up your ass for science? If that company wouldn't have sent the promotional product to you, would you have eventually used another readily available tool or even person? Your story sounds a bit contrived. It reads like the typical; I was scared then dissappointed then extremely satisfied story used to get children to eat vegetables or go to the opera. What you do with your anus and a mouse-like probe is your business, but leave Einstein's field out of it. just my humble, tight-assed opinion

Hey Grant! Pardon my protruding bulge, but your experiment quickened MY pulse! Aneros, here I come! (no puns intended)

Written with finesse. Nicely done Grant!

Hey! I wanna try it...!!! I did some search on the web and found one at www.malegspot.com... and another site (www.highisland.com?) that sells almost exact duplicate. Where can we get one of these things??? I know you don't want your column to be a product endorsement... but given that you've given such a high mark, it *might* be a good idea to inform us as to where we can purchase one (online, please)... so that we can duplicate the experiment... all for science, of course. If Aneros is as good as you say... I think I'll take down my personals ad...!!!! :-)

Way to go, Grant! Next on your list: Auditioning to be a porn star? It would be hysterical.

Thanks for trying it and telling us you liked it. I am all for science in such matters. I tell people all the time that there is so much to learn about sex. There is not time to learn it all, so we need help from our friends who find new information and approaches. I think it was very important what you said about allowing enough TIME for it to achieve the results that were reported. I have used the "WAND" to achieve the same results..when a man is willing to let a woman show him new tricks. I had my hand blown by friends who is a glassmaker..out of pyrex glass. All the others are made out of acrylic. I love it when a man is floating about 3 inches off the sheets when the orgasm takes over his body and he growls, thrashes, curses, and begs for it not to end! Keep up the good work for the enlightenment of all man KIND.

I love the scene in Road Trip where the nurse 'milks' the guys prostate at the sperm bank lol. I've had gf's masage my prostate with a couple of fingers while giving me a bj. It was so damn intense I thought my prostate was going to implode. And it would last sooo long too. I would still be having aftershocks like 2 minutes after. I do suggest laytex gloves though.

Oh! Grant! Don't stop!!! PLEEEEZE hahahaha! Interesting point though -- I've enjoyed some of this with my partner. Keep it up! Er, no pun intended...

Hey man your story sounds like what I was hoping for when I ordered Aneros. I've not had much luck and I feel I've done just what the orders said. I know I must be missing something and that is why I keep tuning in and reading what others have to say. If you've any positive input please drop me a line now! Thank you much for your time, James

Just wanted to say thanks for a perspective that I could relate to. I was sheepishly investigating the Aneros online, and came upon your article. I appreciate the humor, honesty, and insight. You've convinced me to try it! cheers.

You ask "I'm sure that feeling of No. 2-ing in reverse can be gotten used to — but can one actually enjoy it?" YES!! I am a thoroughly hetero man but admit that having something larger than a thermometer slowly inserted into my anus (with plenty of lubrication) can become so enjoyable as to be addictive. I find myself looking over the back scrubbers and toilet bowl cleaners at Target for handles that would feel nice stretching my anus from the wrong side in. You have to look for smooth and strong because you don't want things to get lost. But its a real trip.

The whole point for such experiments is for you to FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! You can't commit to the experiment and then skip steps! What if you had skipped something essential to the proper functioning of the toy? What if you got only half of the experience that way?

Gay---altho not very into back-door sex for myself---I bought the Aneros. The first time was a " build up for a let down. " Nothing new happened. The second time was similar, but I believe that there is a POSSIBILITY that this massager might introduce a man into pleasurable new realms. One great thing about masturbation: its certainly qualifies as safe sex ! Straight guys need to know that anal enjoyment does not " make them gay. " From a man in favor of tolerance.

thank you

This was a most interesting review of an Aneros prostate massager. You are to be commended for tackling it so seriously, and still keeping your sense of humor. I'd say, if you can keep your sample, that you'll build your tolerance to insertion, and find that you look forward to it. Though the packaging and reviews speak highly of the Super-O, I have yet to experience one that I would call that. They talk of hand's free orgasm, but I find I always need some help, either from Mr. Hand or from my wife. So the truely tantric experience remains ellusive. Please consider giving us an update if you continue your experiments. Your progress might be very amusing if not even enlightening.

The sheer comedic writing kept making me pucker in various waves of anticipation! Hilarious and informative. There is just no way of explaining this tactile invader sitting beside your suit and tie or dirt riding gear and boots! So I hope these ideas help the typical manly male cope with girlfriends, spouses, or immediate family. "Uh, it's for cleaning sludge out of your car's tailpipe. Improves fuel flow and gas mileage!" "It's one of those really, really high tech thermometers... and I have really, really bad allergies." "I have no idea what it is, I ordered a new fishing lure!" Hopefully my buddy will buy the line and say, "Holy Shiite, you're gonna need a big mouth to swallow that!" Heh. "I decided to pursue that ear, nose, throat graduate program."

Actually I read this and thought to myself, you are trying too hard. The thing that made it work for me, was not trying at all and instead focusing on relaxing totally. Its a strange balance and mental state you need to be in. I always feel like im starting to flip inside my body and lose my sense of position in space. Thats usually a signal that its going to start working. You need to crack the code yourself though I think.

i tried massaging my prosate with my finger over 60 or more times and now i got the aneros and nothing works, what do you do to make it work? squeeze your butthole together like your holding a piss and for how long? the instructions dont make sense, they use huge words.

Insomniac Girl, shut up. He didn't try something "that gets pushed on girls". This is a heterosexual male sex toy, not an exercise in self-humiliation or "gender bending" for the gratification of bitter girl-women who're afraid of men. It's for men who want a great, heterosexual orgasm.
