Subj: Enlargement exercises
Date: 12/28/2003
Thanks for the info. I have type 2 diabetes and always had an average Penis at 6" erect but with the diabetes erections were almost impossible to maintain for completion of satisfactory intercourse.
I started the exercises about 1 year ago to help with my erection problem because I was at the end of my rope as I stated I was at 6" in Length and 3.5 " in circumference (I have kept records) I now hang flacid at 5" and 4.5" in circumference but when fully erect now I am 7 & 1/2" in length and 5 & 3/4 in circumference and can get and maintain an erection for at least 2 hours and have multiple orgasms in that time frame, I couldn't do this before because of the diabetes.
This is all the absolute truth, it was hard and dedicated work but it did work for me and the amazing thing is I am 54 years young and now my wife of 45 calls me "Superman" no Joke and I am still exercising with her blessing. I am not saying it will work for all because it takes great dedication but I had nothing to loose and everything to gain, no pun intended.

Subj: Really happy

I just wanna say I'm really, really happy to get this kind of information. I've been looking for this information. I going to start these exercises, Thank you very much.

Subj: Confused about exercise
Date: 1/13/2004
I have read the exercise for the PC muscles but I'm confused about how to do this exercise. Do we have to use our hand or just have to mentally squeezes it.
Rick

AskDocWeb: This is not a mental exercise, but a physical one. You have to actually use your muscles to stop (and relax them to start) the flow of urine.

Subj: Without using stomach muscles
Date: 2/2/2004
How can I relax my stomach muscles to do the pc exercises? I used to be able to do them without using my stomach muscles, now I can't, how I can I do this again?
Joe

AskDocWeb: It would help if you start with your stomach muscles relaxed and then keep them relaxed. For example, try this: Place your hand on a flat surface and relax it. Now raise your little finger and your center finger at the same time, while your other three digits remain in contact with the flat surface. This is something most people will find impossible to do on the first try but, with a little practice, can learn to do. The same is true for your PC muscles. You have to practice, practice, practice.

Subj: Exercising my PCs
Date: 2/18/2004
How can I be absolutely certain that I'm exercising my PCs and not my buttocks? I've been doing the exercises for several months and to tell you the truth, it kinda all feels the same.
Joey

AskDocWeb: If you feel your buttocks move, you are not using the right muscles or you are moving them with your PC muscles. In either case, go back to the beginning of the exercise. Test while urinating to find out if you have the correct muscle group.

Subj: Need more
Date: 2/19/2004
"AskDocWeb: This is not a mental exercise, but a physical one. You have to actually use your muscles to stop (and relax them to start) the flow of urine." Explain more...
FisherDx

AskDocWeb: Can you stop the flow of urine right after you start to urinate? If you can, then you are using the correct muscles. If you just imagine stoping and starting the flow of urine, nothing happens to the flow of urine.

Subj: How long does it take?
Date: 2/19/2004
Hi, I have been doing kegals for almost two months but I have not seen any results yet. I know I am working the correct muscle cause I can even see it retract.
How long does it take and is there any side affects? Thanks for your time.
James

AskDocWeb: There are no bad side effects from developing your muscles unless you overdo it. Having done the exercises for two months, you should be playing with this durring sex. Have you noticed what happens to your erection when you flex your PCs durring sex?

Subj: Herbal pills
Date: 2/19/2004
Do those herbal pills really increase or do anything for your penis? Thanks.
James

AskDocWeb: Some of them just make your erections harder. Some make your erections last longer and some lengthen your erect penis. BUT, they don't work for everyone so make sure you pick one with a guarantee.

Subj: Thanks
Date: 4/11/2004
Hi, thanks for this web site.
Zaky

AskDocWeb: You are welcome.

Subj: Anxiety
Date: 5/1/2004
Thanks for the information. I have a tendency to be anxious. Can't these formulas, particularly those containing Yohimbe and Ginseng be anxiety producing?
Enlightened

AskDocWeb: Yes, it is our belief that any stimulant can cause anxiety in those that have a tendency to be anxious.

Subj: Laparoscopic prostatectomy
Date: 5/10/2004
About a month ago, I had a laparoscopic prostatectomy and started kegels about 2 weeks later when the catheter was removed. It feels like really slow going but I know I've got to keep the exercises up for my urinary control and for any hope of erectile control. Thanks for the information and affirmations.
Cecil

Subj: Question
Date: 5/28/2004
Can the exercises be done while I urinate to be sure that I'm using the right muscles? Or will this not be sufficient or could it cause problems?
Jesse

AskDocWeb: Yes, in fact, that is what we recommend when you first start with these exercises. Once you become familiar with the sensation you can do them anywhere.

Subj: Where to do them
Date: 6/10/2004
Hi, the exercise is to be performed in the erected state or the normal one can be fine? Or which one can be more beneficiary? Can it be done while sitting in office? Thanks in anticipation.
Smith

AskDocWeb: Kegels can be done either with or without an erection. And yes, you can do them sitting in your office, while driving or just about anywhere you think about doing them.

Subj: Where is it?
Date: 6/28/2004
I would like to (know) where this PC muscle exactly located. Thanx
Q

AskDocWeb: It is not a single muscle but rather a group of muscles at the base of your penis inside your pelvis.

Subj: Best pill for penis enlargement
Date: 7/19/2004
What is the best pill to buy for penis enlargement and works great with the most success not sacrificing safety.
T

AskDocWeb: According to the feedback from users to date, that would be Vig-Rx.

Subj: Any good books on this?
Date: 8/21/2004
When doing start and stop masturbation as a method to better control your ejaculation, do you recommend ejaculating at the end of the exercise? Any good books on this?
Jonah

AskDocWeb: We recommend verity so sometime yes and sometimes no. Books on Tantra (Tantric sex) and E.S.O. or Extended Sexual Orgasm may also be useful in learning to control your sexual experience.

Subj: Erection problems at 21
Date: 9/2/2004
Hi, I am only 21 and I am having erection problems already. I can get an erection no problem but I can't seem to keep it. I just loose it in the middle of sex. It is very frustrating and it is effecting my relationship with my girlfriend. What can I do. Do you think Kegels exercises will help me? Should I take something like Viagra? I was a virgin up until 20 years old. I lost my virginity to the girl I am still dating. I have been having this problem throughout our whole relationship. It has been 7 months. Please help me. I don't know what to do.
Andrew

AskDocWeb: In order of preference, we would try the Kegel exercises first, then an herbal solution, and use drugs like Viagra as a last resort.

Subj: Quitting training
Date: 10/17/2004
Will I lose my increased pc muscle strength after quitting the training soon or will it maintain?
John

AskDocWeb: Like any other muscle, it needs exercise to stay in shape. And this is an exercise you may want to continue long-term. It will help you avoid wearing diapers when you get old.

Subj: Flexing PC muscles
Date: 10/24/2004
Isn't it inevitable for your buttocks to move while flexing your PC? They seem to be directly connected to the rectum. I cannot flex my own PC muscles without my buttocks moving slightly.
James

AskDocWeb: That only means that you haven't yet learned to separate the movements. You have four fingers and a thumb directly connected to your hand. And yet with practice, you can move any one of them without moving the others. It does take practice.

Subj: The answer
Date: 10/27/2004
I really appreciate that you guys are sharing these info. I really find it so useful... I have problems with my sex life, and I think this is the answer.
Bill

Subj: Useful for erectile dysfunction
Date: 10/27/2004
Kegals exercise is very useful for erectile dysfunction. After doing it for 3 months I gain size and stamina. It's amazing. Thanks for kegals.
Ravi

Subj: When to flex the pc muscle
Date: 10/28/2004
While having sex, do you continuously flex the pc muscle or do you only flex the muscle when you are about to have an orgasm?
Micah

AskDocWeb: It depends on what you want to accomplish. Why not find out what happens when you flex at different times during lovemaking. We suggest you have fun experimenting with it.

Subj: Safety
Date: 12/8/2004
Are these exercises safe? Just paranoid after I found out the dangers of jelqing, I had been doing it for a couple weeks..
Ab

AskDocWeb: Maybe you could fill us in on what you found out about the dangers of jelqing. We haven't heard of anyone having problems with Kegels.

Subj: Using the right muscle
Date: 12/9/2004
When I contract the PC muscle I feel my anal(exit) is also getting contracted. Am I using the right muscle?
Venu

AskDocWeb: When you first start doing Kegels it is common to group it with other muscles. With practice you can learn to make a distinction between the PC muscle and the muscles around it.

Subj: Lasting longer
Date: 12/17/2004
First of all thank you for the info website. I want to know if the strength of the muscle is used to force down my orgasm like a vise? Or is there another method I am missing? I want to make love for more than 2 minutes.
Garrett

AskDocWeb: You are missing a lot more than another method. You might try pausing occasionally to explore more of your partners body. Find out what she likes kissed, what she likes caressed, and how fast (or slow) she wants you to move.

Subj: Diarrhea and abdominal discomfort
Date: 12/28/2004
After I do my kegel exercises I get diarrhea and abd discomfort. wierd huh? Any info on why this is would sure ease my mind.
Lester

AskDocWeb: It may be that you have a condition that requires medical attention. Please talk to your doctor about this.

Subj: Is it ok?
Date: 1/1/2005
I have a question about penis erection, I can maintain erection for 5 minutes during sex and my age is 35 years, is it healthy on my state. I ejaculate after 1 minute. Is it ok, please let me know?
Sunil

AskDocWeb: If you just want to conceive a child then yes, you are ok. But if you want to satisfy your partner, then you are missing a lot of pleasures you could be having, and so is she.

Subj: Holding the kegel
Date: 1/2/2005
I have been doing kegels for about a month and can do many short squeezes in a row, but cannot hold the squeeze for one second let alone 10 seconds. Any suggestions?
Josh

AskDocWeb: You are working with a muscle that has likely been ignored for years. The development of this muscle is going to take time. Just keep at it, the benefits are worth the effort.
