From the moment I first saw the Progasm, I knew I wanted one. After reading many reviews giving the toy high marks, the decision of which Aneros toy to select came down to girth. As I kept reading, so many people noted the fullness that the toy provided (compared to other Aneros models) that I found my choice to be remarkably easy.
It was a bit like Christmas when the toy arrived, and I found myself giddy to try it. I used a thin coat of silicone lube to cover the toy, and slid it inside. Some people had noted that it took them a couple of minutes to fully insert the toy, but I had it inside me in less then 30 seconds. The toy felt simply amazing. Then, I tried to sit down. Ouch. Due to the telescoping nubs on the base of the toy, sitting down on any type of flat surface is not a good idea. I found that the most forgiving seated position was on a very cushioned sofa. I discovered a much more comfortable position was to be lying on the bed.
I really wanted my first time with the toy to yield the elusive anal orgasm that I had read so much about. Instead, I just had a really nice ordinary orgasm; it lasted much longer than usual. I tried many more times after that with the Progasm, but in the end, it was a different toy that showed me how to have one. On the positive side, now that I'm familiar with them, the toy produces the results that I expected from the beginning. My usual orgasms are accompanied with a full body orgasm that completely overtakes me.
@travelnurse: I'll be doing a review on the Nexus Excel soon, which also has a ball. That one doesn't really do anything for me either, but it certainly doesn't distract me the way that these did.
