A-less
short for Aneros-less, which means stimulation of the prostate without an Aneros toy, by simply utilizing internal muscles.
alpha waves
the kind of brain waves that occur during -> relaxation and drowsiness; usually a prerequisite for experiencing -> mindgasms
aneros
a specialised brand for prostate massagers, almost all of which are to be used hands-free, i. e. only with internal -> muscle -> contractions; see also -> toys
awakening (the source)
the process that leads to the discovery of the -> sweetspot; cannot be undone, but not to worry, it’s pleasurable! See also the blog post I did it – Now the tingles won’t stop….
B
Base
the -> muscle (group) known as the -> sphincter found at the anus, keeps the “backdoor” shut
Big Squeeze
a -> Mindgasm -> exercise to fatigue the muscles in order to encourage -> involuntaries
Breathing
If done deliberately in a calm and controlled way, it helps to relax mind and body, see also -> meditation and -> letting-go. Do not -> hold your breath, maintain slow consistent in and out breathing through the nose and mouth. Further tips in the blog post Relaxation Breathing Technique.
Buzzing
a strong and persistent vibration sensation in the -> Source signaling a responsive prostate, usually an indication of readiness for a -> ride; can occur before a -> session or during, possibly also after
C
Center
the -> muscle (group) known as the -> PC muscle that controls the flow of urine and lets the penis bounce when it is erect, contracts during -> orgasm and assists in male ejaculation
classic masturbation
involves (only) the stimulation of the primary sexual organ (penis or clitoris), typically with the hands, and usually leads to a -> wet orgasm in males. See also Blog To fap or not to fap – should I stop masturbation?
Contraction
a -> muscle movement, voluntary or -> involuntary, that leads to tension in the respective muscle; the opposite is -> relaxation. Note that it doesn’t have to be an actual movement. Imaginary voluntary muscle contractions/flexes are called -> mental contractions/flexes.
D
dormancy
a period of several days as long as a month or more when the -> Source stays silent (no -> sweetspot -> tingling or -> buzzing), usually combined with low libido in general; can have multiple causes (e. g. following excessive masturbation or exercising, during preoccupation or other life stresses); no reason for concern, will go away on its own eventually

a state of deep -> relaxation, balance and harmony where both mind and body are calm and in tune, achievable by -> meditation techniques
Eternal Wave
a -> Mindgasm -> exercise to massage the prostate by short, fast internal -> muscle -> contractions of -> Base and -> Center

Glow
1) the pleasant feeling of pre-orgasmic -> warmth in the lower body parts; see also -> afterglow
2) a phenomenon that occurs after a few days of abstinence from masturbation (and porn), which will show in a person’s body language and behaviour when the sexual drive is directed into a more sustainable, more aware form of pleasure; this is characterised by the absence of shame and an increase in control and confidence. More about this in the -> 30-day challenge.
H
HFDO / HFWO
short for hands-free dry/wet orgasm. A -> mindgasm is by definition a hands-free -> dry orgasm (-> HFDO).”Hands-free” here means: by mental focus and/or internal -> muscle -> contractions; other types of hands-free -> orgasms (e. g. rubbing the penis against an object) probably belong to the -> classic masturbation realm.
Hold
in females, an erogenous area of the vagina; sometimes also used to refer to the male equivalent, the -> P-spotkeeping a -> muscle -> contraction steady for a prolonged time, i. e. with the same degree or level of -> intensity.

I
Involuntaries
cover term for all sorts of undeliberate yet pleasurable -> muscle -> contractions, -> feelings series
Intensity
-> Flexes can be done in a range of intensities from a light squeeze requiring little strength to a hard squeeze with full force. The -> exercises typically use a scale from -> level 1 (= 10 % strength) to -> level 10 (= 100 % strength). Note that for -> Top squeezes, the lighter the -> (mental) -> flex, the better the effect. Its motto is “Less is more”.
J

the individual -> Mindgasm experience, from the first encounter with “A. I. Allie” in the early lessons to the -> rides leading to -> mindgasms and potentially -> super orgasms; it includes lessons and learning, cultivating greater self-awareness, exercising the -> pelvic floor -> muscles (-> Base, -> Center), beautiful music, -> meditation, and serious pleasure (-> rides) along the way! “Enjoy the journey” is the -> Mindgasm motto. See also -> mindset and this guide How to go through the Mindgasm lessons.

Mindset
For a pleasurable and enjoyable -> Mindgasm -> journey, it is advisable to cultivate a positive, open and mindful attitude that includes the subconcious level.-> Mindgasm is a -> journey inwards. It is important to enjoy this -> journey instead of being obsessed with the destination. Love yourself!
Multi-orgamsmic
the ability to have several -> orgasms in succession, typically -> dry orgasms without a refractory period
Muscles, Internal or external
For -> Mindgasm, it is especially the internal muscles of the -> pelvic floor (-> Base and -> Center) that are relevant; to a lesser degree the external ones of the primary sexual organ (penis or clitoris). [?]

Pulling
the sensation of a muscle -> contraction in one direction, for example up or down. A -> Base flex feels like pulling the -> pelvic floor upwards.
Pulsing
1) rhythmic -> involuntary contractions of the -> Base muscles, typically in combination with an inserted toy [?]
2) rhythmic voluntary contractions of the -> Source muscles, see -> Eternal Wave
Pushing
involuntary strong contractions of the -> Base muscles, happens usually through physical stimulation of the -> G-/P-spot rather than -> Mindgasm techniques and can lead to squirting (and possibly a different kind of “wet” orgasm); not to be confused with -> reverse Kegels, i. e. intentional pushes
P-Spot
erogenous area of the anal canal around the prostate gland, sometimes called the male -> G-spot
PC muscle
-> Center.
Q
Quivering
-> involuntary rapid muscle contractions or shaking [?]

2) a mental state induced e. g. by -> meditation, see also -> letting-go and the blog post Relaxation Breathing Technique.
Reverse Kegel / push
a -> Base or -> Center flex done deliberately in the opposite direction, usually after a -> contraction to ensure muscle -> relaxation; can be pleasurable as well; not to be confused with -> involuntary -> pushing
Rewiring
the process of reprogramming one’s brain to experience new ways of pleasure, to increase information flow between -> Source (-> G-/P-spot) and brain; see also this detailed blog post and video.
Ride
extended -> sessions focusing on utilising, rather than practising, -> Mindgasm techniques to experience -> pleasure (“riding pleasure waves”), -> mindgasms, and possibly -> super-Os
S
Session
the period of time when -> Mindgasm -> exercises are practised or -> rides for pleasure are undertaken; see also Finding Time for Mindgasm in a busy life
Source
the muscles surrounding the prostate, in the original sense mainly a combination of -> Base and -> Center. (A Source flex is a Base flex and a Center flex done simultaneously.) Now used as an umbrella term for all of the relevant -> Mindgasm internal -> muscles groups, i. e. -> Base, -> Center, and -> Top. [?]
Spike
a very intense -> involuntary -> contraction of the whole -> pelvic floor with a quick build-up and a slow release; can be deeply pleasurable but also borderline uncomfortable or even frightening; cannot be induced by exercising [?]
Shadow Flex
a crossover between two muscle areas, i. e. an unintended additional secondary muscle -> contraction, e. g. a lighter Center during a stronger Base flex and vice versa. As muscle control improves with training and experience, shadow flexes tend to occur less often and less pronounced. See also I can’t distinct base and center – the Shadowflex.
Shaking
uncontrollable partial or full-body moving; can be a violent movement or a mild shaking as if shivering from cold
Shivers
involuntary rapid small muscle movements around a -> sweetspot, often combined with -> warmth and -> tingling; cannot be induced by exercising [?]
Super-O
short for super orgasm, typically an extremely intense and long-lasting, possibly mulitple (-> multi-orgasmic) -> dry orgasm and/or involving the full body that goes far beyond a regular -> mindgasm or -> classic orgasm. Might require a lot of training (of mind and body) to achieve. What counts as “super” is for the individual to decide: if it feels super to you, then it is super.
Sweetspot
typically the area around the -> G-/P-spot that, after -> awakening, can often be perceived as -> tingling or -> buzzing on its own; the precise location as well as the -> intensity of -> contraction required to induce -> involuntary -> muscle movements during exercising (-> Big Squeeze) can vary a bit from day to day. There are similar sweetspots in other body parts, e. g. the penis. [?]
Sphincter
-> Base.
T
Tingles
a pleasant, sexual or non-sexual, goosebumps-like sensation that can occur in many different body parts, e. g. the -> Source, but also on the outside on the skin, spreading in different directions
TO
short for traditional orgasm, sometimes also called -> genital orgasm, see also -> classic masturbation
Top
the Ischiocavernosus muscle and the Bulbospongiosus muscle in the -> pelvic floor; it can be felt at the tip or close to the tip of the primary sexual organ (penis or clitoris), and for males at the root of the penis and/or along the sides of the shaft of the penis. For beginners it is helpful to imagine a muscle at the tip of the primary in order to discover it.
Toys
sexual toys, here typically for prostate play. They are considered unnessary for the -> Mindgasm way but can be helpful as “training wheels” to amplify sensations, and better understand how -> muscle -> contractions affect -> pleasure. See also the article Should I use toys or not?
Trinity
a -> Mindgasm exercise to bring all relevant internal -> muscle groups together: -> Base, -> Center and -> Top
Tugging
[?] (Synonymous with pulling? If not, how to distinguish between the two?)
U

V
Vibrations
an -> involuntary trembling sensation of exhausted -> muscles; can be induced by exercising, e. g. with the -> Big Squeeze
Visuals
various sensations of intensifying light, colours, auroras or sparks appearing before the closed eye lids in combination with increasing sexual arousal and -> mindgasms
W
Warmth
a pleasant sensation originating in the -> Source in combination with sexual arousal, radiating outwards into the lower body parts or the whole body
Weed
colloquial expression for marijuana/cannabis; anecdotal evidence suggests that the drug could be helpful to relax mind and body and thus enhance -> Mindgasm -> sessions. Provided it’s legal where you live, you might want to try it at your own risk.
Wet orgasm
an orgasm with ejaculation, see also -> HFWO and -> pushing
