Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about Reverse Kegels in this Ask the Experts article.

If you have questions you’d like answered in an Ask the Experts article, please PM Big Al.

Q. I’ve seen many recommendations online that one should do Reverse Kegels as well as regular Kegels.

… Is there a reason why you normally don’t recommend Reverse Kegels? Just curious.

Big Al: Reverse Kegels are recommended if one has a week urine stream or ejaculatory force. Do you feel this to be the case with you?

Q (reply): No, I dont suffer from those things. Do I still need to do them?

Big Al: In that case, standard Kegels and Stop and Starts should engage enough of the peripheral pelvic floor muscles and associated organs to ensure you’re getting full development. If you do feel the need to improve your ejaculatory force then the standard Reverse Kegels will help.

Q. What’s the difference in Reverse Kegels?

…I see one described as a type of Kegel where you force pee out, and another where it reads like a stretch.

Big Al: The traditional Reverse Kegels is a contractile exercise where the Bulbocavernosus (BC) muscle is contracted and held.  This can be done by simulating forcing out urine.  This exercise is comparable to the standard Erect Kegel for assisting in venous sufficiency and tissue expansion.  It can also accomplish the goal of more powerful ejaculations.

The alternate version of the Reverse Kegel is described as a pelvic floor stretch. For more on this, please see: Caution about adding the Reverse Kegel to your routine

Big Penis supplement contains hidden ingredient, FDA warns

Kristin Lam, USA Today

* This article is a repost which originally appeared on USA TODAY

Avoid Big Penis supplements, the Food and Drug Administration again urged consumers this week.

The product promoted for sexual enhancement violates FDA regulations by containing a prescription drug without clearly disclosing it does, according to a public notification issued Wednesday.

Regulators previously advised consumers not to purchase or use Big Penis Male Sexual Stimulant three years ago. The FDA also identified the supplement while examining international mail shipments then.

The supplement contains sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra and other erectile dysfunction medications, according to the FDA. The drug can lower blood pressure to “dangerous levels” when taken with prescription drugs containing certain nitrates, including nitroglycerin, the FDA said in its notice.

Doctors and patients who experience side effects from the product can report the issues to the FDA’s MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.

A DRUG given to men to help halt their baldness is reportedly ruining their love lives – by leaving them impotent.

Finasteride, sold under the brand name Propecia, is one of the most commonly used treatments for male pattern baldness.

Multiple studies have found it improves hair growth within months, with the effects lasting as long as the medication is taken.

But a growing number of British men say it’s caused them persistent side-effects, including sexual dysfunction, infertility, depression and anxiety.

Some claim the drug’s potential side-effects last even after they stop taking it.

Hair loss can be caused when high levels of the male sex hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) shrinks follicles on the scalp.

Stops hair loss

Finasteride works by preventing testosterone converting into DHT – and not only stops hair loss, but has been shown to encourage regrowth.

But reducing levels of DHT can also shrink the prostate – the male gland surrounding the urethra which can sometimes become swollen enlarged.

This is why it’s also available in a higher dose – 5mg rather than 1mg for hair loss – as a treatment for enlarged prostates.

However interfering with DHT’s production has been found to cause some men difficulties achieving an erection, a lack of libido and reduced semen.

Other less frequent problems include infertility, testicular pain and anxiety.

Drug manufacturer Merck says up to one in 100 people is affected by sexual dysfunction and in the US, its paid out more than £3million to hundreds of men who have claimed the side-effects lasted long after they quit Propecia.

An online support group called Propecia Help says it has 5,000 members and men from around the world are joining at the rate of 100 a month.

Ryan Clark from North Shields, North Tyneside, who took the hair loss drug finasteride for 18 years and claims he has suffered a range of side-effects including sexual dysfunction and infertility

Ryan Clark, 52, came across the page after desperately searching his symptoms online.

The operations manager, from North Tyneside, was taking finasteride on and off for 18 years to treat a bald spot on his crown.

His GP prescribed the drug privately and he began paying £30 a month for the daily pill.

He told the Daily Mail: “In terms of treating my hair loss, the drug worked brilliantly and the gaps on my crown filled in within three months.

“However, within weeks I lost interest in sex and my libido didn’t return. I didn’t connect it with finasteride as this side-effect was never mentioned.”

Ryan said that within three months he started to feel anxious and suffer insomnia.

“Within weeks I lost interest in sex and my libido didn’t return”

-Ryan Clark

He went back to his doctor “multiple times” about his various health problems and says each one was treated individually.

In 2010, while trying for a baby with wife Lyndsey, 42, tests revealed he had poor-quality sperm with low mobility and told it was unlikely they’d conceive naturally.

So they turned to IVF to have their son Joshua, now six.

Finding help

Two years ago, Ryan looked up his symptoms online and came across post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) and says “everything clicked into place”.

It listed a collection of symptoms – sexual dysfunction, infertility, anxiety and depression – which persist long after finasteride is discontinued.

By this point, Ryan hadn’t been taking the drug for at least two years and says none of the symptoms had gone away.

In fact, he says he has developed neuropathy – or nerve damage causing pins and needles – in his hands and feet.

What is male pattern baldness?

Male pattern hair loss (MPHL) is the most common type of hair loss in men.

It is also known as androgenetic alopecia and affects about half of men over the age of 50.

It is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors. A hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) causes a change in the hair
follicles on the scalp.

The hairs produced by the affected follicles become progressively smaller in diameter, shorter in length and lighter in colour until eventually the follicles shrink completely and stop producing hair.

It’s believed to be a hereditary condition, inherited from either or both parents.

The usual pattern of hair loss is a receding frontal hairline and loss of hair from the top of the head.

Hairs in the affected areas are initially smaller in diameter, and shorter compared to hairs in unaffected areas, before they become absent.

The diagnosis is usually based on the history of scalp hair loss on the front/ top of the head or receding hairline, the pattern of hair loss and a family history of similar hair loss.

As of yet, there’s no cure but there are various treatments including topical and oral medication, as well as surgery which can be sought privately.

Source: British Association of Dermatologists

Experts say the potential side-effects, and the fact they can be long-lasting, should be made clearer to patients.

In particular the threat to fertility should be stressed to younger men, says Allan Pacey, a professor of andrology at the University of Sheffield.

While one doctor has called for better education amongst his colleagues.

Dr David Edwards, a GP in Chipping Norton and past president of the British Society for Sexual Medicine, said: “If you asked the average practice nurse, pharmacist or GP about this, I don’t think they would know about the risk of side-effects such as sex problems and depression.”

Merck has defended Propecia’s safety record and says it’s been subject to extensive clinical trials.

A spokesperson added: “We continuously monitor the safety profile and update the safety information which is included in both the summary of product characteristics (intended to inform health professionals) and the patient information leaflet (or ‘packet insert’, intended for patients).

“The potential for erectile dysfunction and depression to occur as an adverse reaction with finasteride treatment, although uncommon, is documented in both the Summary of Product Characteristics and the Patient Information Leaflet.

“Anxiety is another potential side effect which is listed.”

Yes, “Growers Vs. Showers” Is A Real Thing

by ERIKA W. SMITH

* This article is a repost which originally appeared on REFINERY29

Most of us have heard the phrase “he’s a grower, not a shower,” referring to someone whose penis appears much bigger when erect than flaccid. But while this is a common phrase, is being a “grower, not a shower” really a thing? It may surprise you to learn that there have been actual studies devoted to figuring this out.

First, keep in mind that all penises are bigger when erect. So in that sense, everyone with a penis is a “grower.” But when we talk about “growers v. showers,” we’re talking about the difference between the size of someone’s flaccid penis and the size of someone’s erect penis. If there’s a big difference, they’re a grower. If there’s a small difference, they’re a shower.

To find out the reality of growers v. showers, researchers conducted a study published in the International Journal of Impotence Research titled, “Grower or shower? Predictors of change in penile length from the flaccid to erect state.” Researchers measured the flaccid and “peak erection” penises of 274 men who were treated for erectile dysfunction. They found that the median change in penis length from flaccid to erect was 4.0 centimeters, or about 1.6 inches. Men whose penises expanded at least 4.0 centimeters in length during an erection were deemed “growers,” while men whose penises expanded less than 4.0 centimeters were classified as “showers.”

The study found that just over one-quarter (26%) of men fit the “grower” definition, with an average growth of 5.3 centimeters (or about 2.1 inches) from flaccid to erect. 74% were “showers,” with an average growth of 3.1 centimeters (about 1.2 inches). The researchers found that race, smoking history, co-morbidities, and the size of the men’s flaccid penises did not play a factor in determining the growers vs. the showers. However, the growers were a little younger, with an average age of 47.5 years, compared to the showers’ average age of 55.9 years.

Keep in mind that this study only included men who were already being treated for erectile dysfunction. A more general but much less scientific Men’s Health survey found almost exactly the opposite results: 79% of men surveyed were growers, and 21% were showers.

Other research has suggested that the elasticity and proportion of collagen fibers in a person’s penis tissue may determine if they’re a grower or a shower. These differences are partially determined by genetics, and partially determined by health and age. That means someone might go from being a “grower” to being a “shower” as they get older.

While people have argued about the pros and cons of being a grower v. a shower, it’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean that matters. And yes, science supports that saying, too.

Erections: Use It or Lose It?

What the research says about whether sex and masturbation help prevent erectile dysfunction.

* This article is a repost which originally appeared on WebMD

Men who have trouble getting erections have sex less often than men with normal sexual function, several studies have shown.

But can a long sexual dry spell actually cause erectile dysfunction (ED)? And can men cut their risk for ED by having sex (or masturbating) on a regular basis?
What the Research Says

European scientists caused a stir in 2008 when they published results of a study — believed to be the only one of its kind — purporting to show that infrequent sex can lead to erectile dysfunction.

But many urologists remain skeptical.

The study, published in the July 2008 issue of the American Journal of Medicine, tracked 989 men in their 50s, 60s, and 70s for five years. It showed that men who reported having sexual intercourse less than once a week were twice as likely to develop ED. The less frequent the sex, the greater the risk for ED.

“The result indicated that regular sexual activity preserves potency in a similar fashion as physical exercise maintains functional capacity,” the scientists concluded.

The study didn’t address the question of whether masturbation helps preserve male sexual function. But it probably does help, says Juha Koskimaki, MD, PhD, a urologist at Tampere University Hospital in Tampere, Finland, and one of the authors of the study.

Both forms of sexual activity seem to protect nerve fibers and blood vessels responsible for erectile function and prevent scarring of the chambers inside the penis that fill with blood to form an erection, Koskimaki says.
Not So Fast

Other urologists tell WebMD that that while infrequent sex is clearly associated with ED, it’s unclear that it causes ED. And it’s premature to conclude that frequent sex or masturbation can help men stave off ED, they say.

“Having sex is good, masturbating is good, but the concept that men have to go out and have sex to preserve erectile function is bogus,” says Irwin Goldstein, MD, director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego.

Ira D. Sharlip, MD, clinical professor of urology at the University of California at San Francisco School of Medicine and a spokesman for the American Urological Association, says that infrequent sex is more likely to be a consequence of ED than a cause.

Among men in the study, those who reported frequent sex might simply have had “good genes” that protected them from ED, whereas the men who developed ED might have had sex less frequently simply because they were having erection trouble, Sharlip tells WebMD in an email.

Erections to the Rescue

Erections seem to be the key, whether or not they’re accompanied by sex.

Anecdotal reports and expert opinion in sexual medicine indicate that having erections — with or without sex — helps preserve male sexual function. And of course, there’s no downside to having sex; it certainly won’t hurt a man’s chances of avoiding ED.

And with few exceptions, every man has several spontaneous erections each night while sleeping. So even in the absence of sexual activity, most men have a measure of built-in protection against erectile dysfunction, just by having erections at night.

The bottom line? Given the many benefits of sexual activity, and the possibility that the Finns are right about sex helping to prevent ED, urologists say there’s every reason to stay in the game.

Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about Lengthening Devices, Client Study & Sexual Recovery/Training in this Ask the Experts article.

If you have questions you’d like answered in an Ask the Experts article, please PM Big Al.

Q. What’s your opinion on all day stretchers and extenders as compared to hangers?

Big Al: My own preference would be to use a hanger- as they offer a much wider range of tension opportunities. You can get started by making your on hanger HERE.

Still, if one shows tendencies of getting more out of training with high volume/low intensity methods then an extender like the Phallosan would be beneficial. Phallosan also offers up to 6.6 lbs. of tension- so it’s comparable to the type of tension you’d get from even the more advanced hanging regimens.

All day stretches are good for those who are looking for very passive forms of PE. It can also be effective when the main interest is anti-turtling- though care should be used when adding an ADS to an already full routine- as even ADS work will require some form of recovery.

Q. I was reviewing your Client Study and was impressed with Client F’s results.

…I want to do what he did! How do I make sure I can get gains like him?

Big Al: While it’s important to use guidelines, the exact training model which worked for him may not work for you. Training is a very individual thing, but please rest assured I’ll do what’s within my abilities to ensure you gain in a safe but timely manner.

Perhaps the biggest determining factor is EQ (Erection Quality- a combined measure of stamina and hardness). EQ is THE foundation of male enhancement! If you have poor EQ then your ability to make gains is going to be hampered. For as long as you’re after enlargement you should be striving to continually push the limits on your EQ.

Make sure to keep your EQ development a priority throught your training career and you’ll stand a much better chance of maximizing your gains.

Q. Lately I’ve been having a lot of sex in the style of the Stop and Starts.

…My abilities to control my penis have increased by quite a bit and my lady is very happy, but I’m having problems with my training. I don’t seem to be recovering like I used to. I thought sex would help me to recover faster?

Big Al: Sexual activity can be considered a form of training. It’s the best thing you can do to maximize your potency. The one advantage the manual version of edging/Stop and Starts has over the live variant is with the manual version one has much better control. This can be a good alternative for those who have enough anxiety to preclude them from live sexual contact, but not so much they can’t obtain and maintain a productive erection on their own.

Training requires recovery. I certainly won’t tell you to limit your [live] sexual activity, but you should be abiding by the 60 Minute Rule as regards sexual activity and MANUAL edging/Stop and Starts.

If you’re very sexually active you may need to have more rest days added to your weekly training schedule to allow for full recovery.

Bronx Doctors Say Man Discovered With ‘Exceedingly Rare’ Condition, His Penis Is Turning Into Bone

* This article is a repost which originally appeared on WebMD

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Doctors in the Bronx say they encountered one of the rarest medical mysteries they’ve come across – a man’s penis was literally turning to bone.

According to a team of physicians from Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center, a 63-year-old man suffered a fall onto the pavement and went to the hospital complaining of knee pain.

“He was walking on the side walk with his cane when he fell onto his buttocks. Shortly thereafter, he started to have a left knee pain,” the doctors reported in the medical journal Urology Case Reports.

To see the x-ray pictures click here

Doctors did an x-ray on the 63-year-old’s pelvis to make sure he hadn’t hurt his hip as well and that’s when the stunning discovery was made.

“An extensive, plaque-like calcification along the expected distribution of the penis was evident.”

The Bronx doctors say the unidentified man was likely suffering from an “exceedingly rare” case of ossification, or the abnormal formation of bone.

“Penile ossification remains a relatively rare condition being mentioned in very few journals,” the Bronx doctors said.

There are reportedly less than 40 published cases of a man’s penis turning to bone in this way.

Unfortunately, the staff at Lincoln Medical could not examine the man’s pelvic paralysis further. The 63-year-old reportedly decided to leave the hospital against the advice of medics and a follow-up lab exam could not be done.

For now, a medical mystery is still walking around New York.

Ask a Stoner: Do Marijuana Sex Products Really Work?

By Herbert Fuego

* This article is a repost which originally appeared on Westword

Dear Stoner: Can these marijuana sex products really help? I’ve seen some weird-looking shit at dispensaries.
Krafty

Dear Krafty: Haven’t we all? If you can put it in your body, chances are good that someone’s tried to put weed in it first — and don’t even get us started on where CBD is being introduced. But we’ll limit our answer to the birds and the bees.

Sexual enhancement and pleasure products have indeed invaded dispensaries and the hemp industry, with pills, lubes and even suppositories infused with cannabis offered to allegedly ease sexual anxiety or pain in our privates, or just make us better at sex.

We can’t tell you from experience whether CBD lube really does ease vaginal pain from menstrual issues or during sex, or if THC or CBD anal suppositories “enhance erotic play,” as their maker, Foria, says they do.

We also don’t have experience with THC-infused herbal male enhancement pills, like CannaMojo, which claims to be an aphrodisiac. Reviews online go both ways, but I get enough stoner jokes as it is, so I prefer to buy my lube at a Walmart self-checkout with my head down. Like a real man.

Is it normal to have a veiny penis?

Several factors influence vein visibility, including:

• genetics
• age
• frequency and intensity of physical activity
• cardiovascular health
• underlying medical conditions

In this article, we discuss why the veins in the penis might appear prominent and what this means.

We also review potential underlying medical conditions that contribute to penis vein visibility and when to see a doctor.

Why does it happen?

There are several veins and arteries that carry blood to and from the spongy erectile tissue in the penis.

Veins may look larger than usual during and immediately following an erection. Although the appearance of prominent veins may cause alarm, they indicate healthy blood flow.

Genetics and age can influence skin thickness, which may make veins appear more prominent or bigger than usual.

Also, blood clots and other conditions that affect the cardiovascular system can trap blood in the veins, which may affect how these blood vessels look.

Do prominent veins affect erection or ejaculation?

Typically, prominent veins do not affect erectile function.

Conditions that affect blood flow, such as blood clots and atherosclerosis, can have a minor impact on erectile function.

Research suggests a close relationship between cardiovascular health and erectile function.

In a 2015 study, for example, researchers conclude that erectile dysfunction could be an early sign of cardiovascular disease.

Also, in an earlier study by the Heart Institute, the authors state that erectile dysfunction may precede heart attacks by 3–5 years.

Possible causes

Vein size and visibility may vary over a person’s lifetime. They can also change as a result of sexual activity, or due to an underlying health condition.

Some possible causes of prominent veins in the penis include:

Erection

During an erection, oxygenated blood from the heart flows through the cavernous artery, which supplies the three chambers of spongy tissue that make up the corpus cavernosum and the corpus spongiosum.

The increase in blood flow causes the spongy tissue to expand, resulting in an erection. The tunica albuginea keeps blood in the corpus cavernosum.

The blood will then drain through the veins near the surface of the penis and travel back to the heart and lungs. The spongy tissue will remain engorged with blood until the erection goes away.

Varicocele

A varicocele refers to enlargement of the veins that make up the pampiniform plexus in the scrotum, which is the loose skin that surrounds the testes.

Varicoceles develop during puberty and affect about 10-15% of young males.

The exact cause remains unknown, but the following factors may contribute to the formation of varicoceles:

• reduced blood flow
• swollen lymph nodes
• injury or trauma to the testes

Varicoceles do not require treatment unless there is also:

• pain
• low sperm count
• a lump on or near the testes
• swelling of the scrotum

Blood clots

A blood clot, or thrombosis, is a medical condition that occurs when blood cells stick together to form solid masses in the blood vessels. Blood clots can interrupt or completely stop blood flow.

Penile blood clots can develop in the dorsal vein in the penis, resulting in a rare condition called Mondor’s disease. Mondor’s disease can lead to significant pain and swelling in the affected veins.

According to a 2018 case study, penile blood clots typically resolve on their own within 1–4 weeks.

Lymphedema

Lymphedema refers to swelling that occurs when lymph fluid incorrectly flows through the body.

Swelling due to lymphedema can make the veins more visible than usual.

Causes of lymphedema include:

• blockages in the lymphatic system
• cancer treatment
• infection
• injury
• removal of lymph nodes
• scar tissue buildup from surgery

Peyronie’s disease

Peyronie’s disease occurs when scar tissue, or plaque, forms in the top or bottom of the penis. The buildup of scar tissue can cause the penis to curve or bend, which can lead to severe pain during sexual intercourse.

The scar tissue that develops may feel slightly firm to the touch. Scar tissue that calcifies can feel like a hard, solid mass beneath the skin.

Causes of Peyronie’s disease include:

• injury
• autoimmune disease
• vigorous sexual activity
• aging

Lymphangiosclerosis

The abnormal hardening of a lymph vessel in the penis characterizes lymphangiosclerosis.

Lymphangiosclerosis can develop due to:

• injury causing tissue damage in the penis
• circumcision
• scarring from circumcision
• sexually transmitted infections
• vigorous sexual activity

Unlike a prominent vein, lymphangiosclerosis will look similar to the rest of the skin. The hardened lymph vessel usually forms just below the head of the penis and measures about 3 millimeters thick.

A doctor may perform blood tests and analyze a small tissue sample to diagnose lymphangiosclerosis.

Lymphangiosclerosis typically goes away on its own within 4–6 weeks and rarely causes complications.

People with lymphangiosclerosis should try to abstain from sexual activity, including masturbation until completely healed.

When to see a doctor

In most cases, a person will have no reason to worry if the veins in their penis appear more prominent than usual.

However, people may want to consider speaking with a doctor if the appearance of veins in their penis causes them distress, or if they experience any of the following symptoms:

• pain during erection, ejaculation, or urination
• swelling of the penis or testicles
• hard, flesh colored cord on the penis
• lumps on the penis or scrotum
• pain in the lower abdomen or back

If any of these symptoms occur alongside prominent veins in the penis, it may indicate an underlying medical condition.

Summary

The appearance of prominent veins in the penis may cause some concern.

However, enlarged penile veins usually occur as the result of normal blood flow to and from the penis.

In rare cases, an underlying medical condition can contribute to the appearance of penile veins. These conditions include:

• cardiovascular diseases, such as blood clots
• Peyronie’s disease
• lymphangiosclerosis

People may want to consider contacting their doctor if they have noticeable cord-like structures on their penis or testicles.

People should seek immediate medical attention if they experience:

• painful erection or ejaculation
• swelling or lumps on the penis or scrotum
• pain in the lower back or abdomen
• unusual discharge from the penis

SOLE SEARCHING Sorry guys, having big feet doesn’t mean your penis is super-sized – it’s all in the toes

Becky Pemberton

* This article is a repost which originally appeared on THE Sun

MOST people know the phrase “you know what they say about men with big feet”, but is this cheeky saying true?

Scientists set out to see if the old wives tale of big feet equalling a whopping penis was accurate– and men with big shoes may no longer have a reason to brag.

It turns out, from a 1993 Canadian study, that there was no strong correlation between penis and foot size.

Scientists noted: “Height and foot size would not serve as practical estimators of penis length.”

This was supported by a similar study done across the pond in the UK in 2002, with researchers concluding: “The supposed association of penile length and shoe size has no scientific basis.”

However, there may be a body part that could be an indicator of your penis size; your toes.
