Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about Device based training, the Jelq Free routine, Genetic potential, and developing a positive mindset.

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

Q. So you’ve proven that you can gain without using devices…

…something which other specialists don’t agree on!

Big Al: Most male enhancement trainees I know have made gains with manual exercises, though there are a few notables who’ve made massive gains with devices.

Q. I own a bathmate x30. Now with that I really see the benefits and I used it to warm up before doing your Jelq Free routine.

Many guys say that the bathmate is really the best thing out there. What do you think? It’s just a moment thing where you see the erection and vascularity?

Big Al: Pumping can be an excellent way of adding size, but a full pumping routine requires dedication- as results seem to accelerate once one is able to train past the 20-30 minute mark. For now, you may use the pump for your warm ups and warm downs. Use for 5-7 minutes each with very warm water and moderate pressure.

Q. Can I achieve the most of my genetic potential with just your Jelq Free routine and Bathmate?

In 3 years let’s say? Would my penis get used to that like any other muscle and stop growing. Or is the penis, a more easy to trick organ?

Big Al: The penis is composed of smooth muscle tissue- which is different from skeletal muscle. The exercises are passive in nature in how the muscle tissue is affected. That being said, few people ever approach their true genetic potential.

A good example of just how much expansion is possible (and even in a very brief time) can be seen here: Megalophallus. NOTE- The aforementioned link is NOT meant as an instructional guide!

The format of the Jelq Free is modular, so as you gain in conditioning we can switch out to more challenging exercises.

Q. What would you say about mental awareness during sex.

I heard pornstars think of bad things or unpleasant experiences during sex to last more. What have you discovered it works best for you in lasting more besides you usual routine?

Big Al: This is a good question, and your mention of pornstars puts it into a certain perspective. There can be negative conditioning effects when using outside stimuli during sex.

I HIGHLY recommend you review the following in full: The Detraining Effect: Understanding and Reversing Negative Habits To Improve Erection Quality and Sexual Confidence.

Hard Flaccid: Beyond The Edge Of Science?

By Pegasus

Pegasus acknowledges the assistance of Hans and Al in the creation of this article.

PEGym deals with issues of male sexuality covering a number of areas. A difficult, frustrating and somewhat mysterious issue has been Hard flaccid (HF). This covers a wide range of symptoms:

– Pelvic pain
– Pain on ejaculation
– Retracted penis
– A “rubbery” feeling to the penis
– Flaccid glans during an erection
– Changes in penis shape and size
– Loss of libido
– Difficulty getting an erection.

Over time, the mods onsite have recommended 2 main courses of action: stress reduction/dealing with stress anxiety, and on the physical side pelvic floor work to relax the pelvic floor. Our working theory was that on the physical level spasm /tension within the pelvic floor interfered with blood flow and nerve conduction. We also believed stress to be frequently causal in both the difficulty getting erect development and maintain of this syndrome.

Problem was we got a lot of blowback from members with HF on a number of fronts. The most common was the assertion that the problem was totally physical and stress was just a side effect and our view on mental states was demeaning and a distraction. However we also were told hey the problem is in my penis not my pelvis and the cure lies elsewhere.  Now the view from actual suffers on what treatment should be was all over place the importance of the mental side was variously dismissed or regarded as central or indeed the only factor. On the physical side a wide range of approaches from NoFap/chastity through fasting through a wide range of physical therapies to just forgetting about it and getting on with life.

So I have been interested in the male pelvic floor and it’s effect on male sexuality for some time. It has been of great interest to me to see the development of mainstream medical views on this relationship in recent years. The development in male pelvic floor physio has been of particular interest. So early in the piece I went looking for the science on HF and found uuummm well nothing.  However very recently hallelujah I see the start of discussion about what HF is and a move to recognise it. Some uros have begun the process to recognise it as a condition. More importantly some brave physio are going beyond the science to look at actual treatment.

From urology news:

Hard flaccid syndrome
By Kaylie Hughes, Arie Parnham and Marc Lucky

“However, a new phenomenon, known as hard flaccid syndrome, is being recognised as an alternative cause of unremitting pelvic pain in men by specialist pelvic floor physiotherapists and some urologists.  Currently, no published literature exists of the syndrome”

Later they say:

“Hard flaccid syndrome is a type of CPPS.”

Then later:

“The true aetiology of this condition is unknown. Like many CPPS the development of hard flaccid syndrome is thought to be multifactorial in nature. Biological, psychological and social influences all contribute to the development and severity of the condition by altering the neurovascular supply to the muscles of the pelvic floor and penis.

“Stress is a key risk factor for the development of this condition by way of causing prolonged contraction of the muscles of the pelvic floor. Stress can be triggered by an injury directly to the penis during sexual intercourse or masturbation, or stress secondary to psychosocial distress in the absence of injury.”

Entropy Physio speculates it is a form of CPPS and has this to say:

“First things first: there is nothing wrong with your/your client’s penis. Often, clients have been to many providers and have been given clean bills of health He is shooed away with pharmaceuticals and no explanation why his friend is under the weather. Ruminating on the issue can precipitate a key ingredient to the problem: stress. Stress causes activation of your sympathetic nervous system which in turn releases adrenaline throughout your body.”

So they believe it is physically pelvic and that mental factors are central.

Urologist K .Hughes believes:

“Hard flaccid syndrome is difficult to treat due to the fact it is poorly understood and not yet widely recognised as a condition by urologists. Like with any CCPS, adoption of a multimodality holistic approach is paramount when managing these men. The most important step in the management of this condition is continued reassurance that physically there is nothing functionally wrong with the penis and that this is a chronic pain syndrome.”

The physio at Core Body Clinic’s view is:

“Hard Flaccid syndrome has largely been the subject of discussion and debate on male pelvic pain forums with little or no clinical information about the condition. Therefore, diagnosis is difficult to the untrained eye and often clinicians are often at a loss about treatment.”

Then later:

“With little by way of clinical research concerning hard flaccid, much of the theories relating to the pathophysiology are based on our observations of the patients who present in clinic. However, in combination with the knowledge of anatomy and pain mechanisms an understanding has been developed which has enabled us to provide treatment solutions.
“Injury to the penis and stress are likely drivers for this condition”

Leading physio Gerard Greene says in a podcast that HF is largely pelvic floor related at a physical level and also talks on the effect of stress . This from a patient of his:

“I had heard of Hard Flaccid before but always wondered if it really existed as I could never find anything on google about it but had seen it mentioned in one forum. Without me mentioning it Gerard thought I had pelvic pain definitely but also Hard flaccid. The way he described it , and I’m not a medical person , is that if there is pain for a long time in the pelvis and nerves get irritated or inflamed ( pudendal & others ) then the tissues those nerves supply can get affected i.e the penis.”

So it seems the mods at PEGym were on the right track. HF at the physical level is a pelvic floor issue and stress is heavily involved.

At 4.3 Kilos This German Has The Biggest Member In The World!

This article is a repost which originally appeared on GENTSIDE

Micha Stuntz stands out among the rest. He is actually the man with the biggest penis in the world.

Many people have heard of Robert Madlow (sic), the tallest man in the world. But have you heard of the man with the biggest member in the world? We’ll give you a hint, this gentleman comes from Germany.

Nature didn’t really help

Micha Stuntz from Berlin has the largest penis in the world, but he was not born blessed with this gift. It all started when he got a penis pump for his 20th birthday and the now 47-year-old’s desire was triggered to possess, as an American TV program called it, ‘Monster Meat’.

The way a penis pump works is actually quite simple. It is placed over the penis and is then powered manually (or sometimes by a motor) to pump negative pressure. According to the German site Zavamed, this makes the limb stiff and you can often program how much pressure you want to be generated, so sometimes it only takes a few seconds to get an erection.

Then, a so-called penis ring or constriction ring can be placed at the base of the penis so that the erection doesn’t go away as quickly as it came.

‘Women always find a big c**k better!’

Micha Stuntz even took his desire to have a huge penis even further by injecting extra silicone into it, which made his member swell to a good 22 centimetres long.

But what’s even more impressive than the length and 14-centimetre width of his penis is its weight, since it weighs in at an incredible 4.3kg. That means that he carries the same amount of weight as four and a half bags of flour between his legs.

But do women actually think this is a good thing (there are lots of things that men like in the bedroom that women don’t)? Micha Stuntz is however positive and optimistic: ‘Women always find a big c**k better!’ According to him, he has only ever been turned down by two women. But of course, his large member has also changed sex for him:

‘After you reach a certain size, you can’t do certain things anymore. At least not with everyone and not without some foreplay. But there are other things you can do with it. You just have to free yourself from established roles and ideas about sex and be ready to play.’

Pride and shame

He admitted to Vice that, in addition to feeling proud, he also feels a little ashamed of the impressive size of his penis. He hopes that thoughts about penis enlargement won’t always be considered so controversial and negative.

‘I hope that changes soon because the difference really isn’t that big.’

The only problem that he faces in his everyday life because of his large penis is finding pants and underwear that fit. The sooner men decide to follow in the footsteps of this Berliner, the sooner this problem will hopefully be solved.

Penile melanosis: What to know

Penile melanosis: What to know

Penile melanosis is a rare condition that causes discolored areas of skin on the head and shaft of the penis.

This article is a repost which originally appeared on MedicalNewsToday

These patches are dark brown and may be slightly or significantly darker than the surrounding skin on the penis.

Penile melanosis does not cause any other symptoms. The condition is not infectious or contagious, and there is no way to pass it on to other people. However, the exact cause is still unknown.

Penile melanosis is generally harmless and does not require treatment. Some people may choose to have cosmetic procedures to remove the spots, though.

In this article, learn more about penile melanosis, including the causes, associated conditions, and treatment options.

What is penile melanosis?

Penile melanosis refers to patches of brown or dark brown skin on the penis. These spots are typically large and flat, with each one appearing alone.

Melanin is one of the main pigments in the skin, and people with more melanin have a darker skin tone. Melanosis refers to a buildup of melanin.

Penile melanosis may also involve other pigment compounds in the skin, such as:

  • hemosiderin
  • lipofuscin
  • ferrous sulfate

As these pigment compounds build up, they can cause a noticeable change in the skin’s color. This hyperpigmentation appears in patches on the penis, rather than affecting the entire penis.

Causes

Doctors are not sure why some people develop penile melanosis. It is simply a buildup of pigment cells within the skin, which can occur in other locations as well.

However, possible risk factors that may increase a person’s chances of developing penile melanosis include:

  • Age: While penile melanosis can affect people of any age, it mostly appears between the ages of 15 and 72 years.
  • Genetics: There may be a genetic component to penile melanosis.
  • Injuries: Previous injury to the penis may play a role, as the formation of scar tissue can lead to hyperpigmentation.
  • Certain skin treatments: Treatment with certain drugs, such as anthralin or PUVA therapy, may increase the risk of penile melanosis.

Penile melanosis and lichen sclerosus

Penile melanosis may also have a link to another uncommon skin condition called lichen sclerosus.

Lichen sclerosus causes thin, pale patches of skin, usually in the genitals or hands. A 2017 case studyTrusted Source of an older man found an association between the penile melanosis and lichen sclerosus on his penis.

However, this does not mean that one of these conditions causes the other. It simply suggests that there may be a link between them.

Penile melanosis and cancer

Some people may worry that discolorations such as these will lead to melanoma, a form of skin cancer. Penile melanoma is very rare.

Penile melanoma may cause darker spots of skin similar to those of penile melanosis, but typically just on the head of the penis. These may grow, change color, and bleed.

When a doctor diagnoses penile melanosis, they will be sure to rule out the possibility of the lesions being cancerous. Therefore, once they have confirmed their diagnosis, this means that the lesions are not putting the person at risk of cancer.

A person may see a dermatologist at set intervals to monitor the condition and ensure that there are no signs of melanoma. There is no direct evidence that penile melanosis will lead to cancer, however.

Treatment and removal

As penile melanosis is a simple buildup of pigment cells in the skin, it does not require any treatment.

However, if a person feels that the pigment on the skin makes the penis unsightly or makes their sexual partners uncomfortable, there are cosmetic treatment options available. In many cases, it is possible to remove the patches of pigmented skin.

Laser therapy may help remove pigmented skin lesions or reduce their appearance. As a cosmetic procedure, laser therapy can also remove sunspots, scars, or even pigment from tattoos.

This process can take time, and a person will often need multiple sessions to remove the pigment. In some cases, the pigmentation will not go away completely but will get significantly fainter.

Some people may wish to have surgery to remove the spots. Surgery for penile melanosis involves removing the skin with the pigment and grafting new skin to the area.

Healing after surgery takes time. The surgery may also leave small scars, which can be unsightly if the person is worried about the appearance of their penis.

Removal procedures are only skin deep, and they should not affect a person’s sexual health or their ability to urinate.

Summary

Penile melanosis is a harmless condition. It occurs due to a buildup of pigment in the skin, which forms small dark lesions on the penis.

As this is the only symptom, the condition does not require treatment. However, some people still opt for removing the lesions or lightening them to reduce their appearance.

Anyone who does go through treatment to remove the lesions should not notice any changes in the function of their penis or their sexual health.

Discoloration on the penis can occur as a result of various causes, so anyone who notices any lesions or other changes should talk to a doctor or dermatologist for a diagnosis.

Proud woman sets up Christmas lights in shape of giant penis on roof

By Lee Brown

This article is a repost which originally appeared on the New York Post

This will put her straight onto Santa’s naughty list.

Shelby Gash has turned off her neighbors in a sleepy Kansas street — by shaping Christmas lights into a giant penis on her house.

“Sorry neighbors … I felt the need to make a giant d–k on the roof,” Gash wrote alongside photos on Facebook. “‘Tis the season!”

The 24-year-old jokester was equally blunt with a local TV news crew reporting on complaints from neighbors in Lenexa about her festive phallic display using 60 feet of lights.

“[It’s] a giant glowing d–k,” Gash told WDAF, saying it was a cheeky reaction to how “uptight” her neighborhood has become.

“People think it’s hilarious,” she insisted. “People are stopping in the middle of the night taking photos and laughing. People think it’s so much fun.

“I think there’s a lot more laughter than it’s bringing out anything uncomfortable.”

 

Not all her neighbors saw the funny side, however.

“It’s a joke that wears out pretty quick,” Marcelo Vergara told WDAF, saying it was “not in the Christmas spirit,” while his wife, Christi, stressed it wasn’t “appropriate for little kids.”

After staying up for four days, the lights were finally taken down following the barrage of complaints, especially over kids seeing the giant, glowing display.

“Sorry if this is really bothering people — I’m just trying to make a laugh,” Gash told the local TV station.

The Necessities of “Pelvic Floor Health Awareness”

The Necessities of “Pelvic Floor Health Awareness”

Courtesy of HansTwilight

Only up until recently has the medical field acknowledged Pelvic Floor Overactivity as an actual medical condition, and because of this, there is still a lot of ignorance and misinformation on the internet advising men on things regarding their sexual health and activity. This article hopes to point out some of the misinformation dwelling on the internet and talked about among lay people. The topics in this article range from the “pelvic floor issues mean weakness” platitude all the way to bicycle seats and finally, just flat out poor advice. So, sit tight (well, relaxed actually) and we’ll jump right into it.

For those of you unfamiliar with the topic of pelvic floor dysfunctions (hypertonia), this link will be of great assistance to you. While I am not going to go into detail about what pelvic floor overactivity/dysfunction is, I will briefly discuss a condition that is caused by pelvic floor overactivity, and that is Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome. According to Wikipedia, it affects up to 2%-6% of men at some point in their lives,[1]and that number might even be higher because the condition is so poorly understood that the patient may never even get a diagnosis
The existence of this condition is proof that pelvic floor issues are not exclusive to women, which is an extremely common and unfortunate misconception to a degree that it can be safe to assume “Mainstream pelvic floor information” is rather sexist. Men are just as susceptible to these types of medical conditions as women. Knowing this and seeing all of the misinformation existing on the web, I believe it is extremely productive and also proactive to say that there is a big need for what I would call, “pelvic floor health awareness.” Now I will get into why we need this so called “pelvic floor health awareness” and list some examples of the so called misinformation residing on the internet for unlucky victims to stumble upon.



The first and possibly most important topic I am going to address is the “pelvic floor issues must mean weakness” platitude that exists all over the internet and even among medical professionals and physiotherapists. The idea was that people (usually the elderly) had urinary incontinence due to the muscles being too weak, and the treatment for that was Kegel exercises. Now, although there is truth to this, the frustrating thing is the fact that many people today are so familiar with this and so unfamiliar with the other side of the fence that the typical advice given is Kegel exercises for strengthening. Not only is this advice wrong, but it is also detrimental to the patient because as you probably guessed, it will lead them down the wrong path making the problem much worse.

The problem isn’t weakness, the problem is overactivity (hypertonia). One does not need to have a weak pelvic floor for it to be overactive. A common example is bodybuilders who do a lot of weighted squat exercises (or just any kind of heavy lifting in general. These individuals are at a greater risk of having pelvic floor tension because squats (even if done properly) require one to tense their whole pelvic and core to protect the back from injury. According to Pelvic Floor First, “As an example, many people who spend a lot of time working out and holding onto their core muscles can develop tension in their pelvic floor because they keep these muscles switched ‘on’ without giving the muscles times to relax and let go.”[2].

So, the pelvic floor can be perfectly strong but overactive, and it is vital to not confuse these two elements. Now this isn’t to say that one can have a weak and overactive pelvic floor. It mostly just depends on the cause (mind you there are numerous). I will get more into the types of pelvic floors in my next article so stay tuned but anyways, I digress.

The takeaway here is that patients with these tense pelvic floors should not be concerned about weakness or strength as it does no benefit to be concerned with weakness or strength when one’s pelvic floor is overactive, the one and only priority should be treating the symptoms of the tension with a combination of reverse kegels, relaxed squatting, relaxation techniques, meditation, yoga, and diaphragmatic breathing.

The next topic to address is the over-hype that Kegel exercises get all around the internet and the lack of solid, specific instruction when recommending such exercises. Usually, the attitude is, “Kegels, Kegels, and more Kegels!!” …and this advice is enormously irresponsible. “Kegels are no good for a hypertonic or “tight” pelvic floor. “For decades doctors, PTs, trainers, therapists, you name it, have been hammering away at women—and men too—that if they want to strengthen their pelvic floors, they must do their kegels.”[3]

Rarely do these online articles ever mention anything about the risks associated with over doing Kegels or the need for reverse Kegels to maintain balance in the pelvic floor. In most cases, they don’t even bother to tell you how many to do and some people even suggest doing them constantly! I cover a lot more about this in my previous article, so I will leave it at this. Another example of bad advice is stimulating the prostate via Kegels during stimulation. This is a very bad idea because first, it causes premature ejaculation and second, it trains the muscles to tense during stimulation and if there is additional pressure added to the prostate/perineum such as when sitting down, sitting up in bed or even laying down then the muscles will become trained to tense when that same pressure is applied, leading to pain in the prostate, perineum and rectum, especially when sitting. This may also lead to urinary frequency or urgency.

Next, we have bicycle seats. Yes, bicycle seats. As you may have guessed, they too add pressure to the perineum and the sensitive nerves in that area. According to a study done on pelvic floor issues and bicycle seats, “On the other hand, cycling can trigger nerve trauma, numbness and, for some men, erectile dysfunction. Known as bicycle seat neuropathy, it is the result of the compression various nerves and blood vessels. Several studies of long distance riders have found pain and/or numbness in the perineal area for both men and women. Bicycle seat shape and position are the major factors.”[4] Even more damning, “Other NIOSH studies showed that pressure on a traditional (nosed) bicycle saddle in the area under the bicyclist’s groin is typically 2.90 pounds per square inch during cycling and may reach as high as 5.37 pounds per square inch. As a point of reference, the pressure on an arm blood pressure cuff needed to restrict blood flow in the arteries is about 120 mm Hg, which is equal to 2.32 pounds per square inch.”[5]

So now you might be wondering, why does all of this happen? The reason behind all of this lies in the functioning of the pelvic floor muscles. They function differently than any other muscles in our body because they actually never stop working, if they did, we would be incontinent. Because of this, they are very trainable, and some people’s pelvic floor muscles might be more trainable than their fellow bikers for example, which implies a genetic component could be at play here.

A final topic to discuss is the dangerous “kegeled stretching,” or simply Kegeling while stretching the penis. This puts an unreasonable amount of stress on the BC muscle because the muscle sits in between the PC muscle and the penis. When the penis is being pulled, the BC muscle is being pulled in that direction, now if a Kegel is being added to the formula then the BC muscle is also being pulled in the opposite direction towards the PC muscle. Think of it as tug of war in the genitals. Overtime, this can cause the soft skeletal muscles (IC or BC) to become strained or even torn. At that point the entire pelvic floor will tense in response to this injury and the pelvic floor will become hypertonic, requiring rehabilitation by a licensed physiotherapist. At this point both hard flaccid and even fibromyalgia could be in the mist. The hard flaccid is due to the tension in the pelvic floor restricting blood flow to the penis and some theorize that fibromyalgia is caused by the stress on the nerves sending pain throughout the genitals, perineum, groin, and inner thighs. Even once the tension has been relieved, those nerves have now been affected and begin to perceive pain that isn’t actually there.

It is important to mention that this has absolutely nothing to do with conditioning; no amount of conditioning can protect the muscles from this unreasonable straining. To make matters worse, most doctors won’t be able to help because this is an extremely rare injury, as most people don’t know about penis stretching nor engage in it.The goal of this article isn’t to scare anyone, it is to merely mitigate the risks associated with pelvic floor dysfunctions and CP/CPPS. As someone who has suffered from both, it is grueling and believe me, I would never wish it upon anyone. Instead of treating myself and leaving, I have decided to step up and make a change, to bring awareness to the public about a very painful and mentally draining condition that is hardly treatable by our loving medical community. It is my hope that I can be an influence on anyone, because it is clear that lots of men and women are at risk of these conditions, not just the male enhancement community.

Thousands of ‘penis fish’ wash onto California beach

by Nadine DeNinno

This article is a repost which originally appeared on the New York Post

It’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s a penis fish?

Thousands of “pulsing penis fish” have washed ashore on a California beach, as seen in jarring photos that are raising eyebrows due to the creature’s phallic shape.

The quirky marine life is officially called fat innkeeper worms (Urechis caupo), and an expert writes for Bay Nature that he believes a recent storm in the Drakes Beach area is the reason so many of them mysteriously appeared on the beach.

Ivan Parr, a biologist from the Western Section of the Wildlife Society, spotted them Dec. 6 and explains that the 10-inch fat innkeeper worm typically lives underwater, burrowing in mud or sand, but the storm likely carried them ashore.

“I’ve heard my share of imaginative theories from beachcombers, such as flotsam of a wrecked bratwurst freighter,” he writes.

However, Parr explains that a sausage ship accident is not the cause of this scene.

“We’re seeing the risk of building your home out of sand,” he says. “Strong storms — especially during El Niño years — are perfectly capable of laying siege to the intertidal zone, breaking apart the sediments, and leaving their contents stranded on shore.”

The spoonworm, which can live up to 25 years, feeds and swims using its “spatula-shaped proboscis.” It typically eats bacteria, plankton and other small particles, which it collects using “sticky mucus nets.”

Parr says he’s heard of sightings over the years in California at Pajaro Dunes, Moss Landing, Bodega Bay and Princeton Harbor.

The creature dates back 300 million years and also can be eaten. An anonymous colleague at The Post who has dined on a stir-fried fat innkeeper worm in Shanghai, China, describes the taste as “like a Livestrong band mated with a clam.”

A Summary of the History of Male Enhancement (from The Ultimate Guide To Male Enhancement)

The following is a chapter taken from the book: The Ultimate Guide To Male Enhancement.

Chapter 1: A Summary of the History of Male Enhancement

NOTE: While it’s worthwhile to do a detailed history of male enhancement, a summary is necessary as a detailed history would, on its own, fill a good-sized volume. There’s also a good deal of history in the next section (My Story), and redundancies have been eliminated to streamline the content.

The history of male enhancement goes as far back as recorded history. From the myths of Priapus to enlarged phalli depicted on cave painting walls, the ideal for a larger penis and the symbolic potency and power it represents spans time and cultures. While there are a good number of books on the subject, the Internet has allowed very open, detailed and evolving discussions on a subject that is still considered “taboo” in many circles.

The active forms of male enhancement are well represented in history. The Aboriginal “Googaday” tribe was supposed to have a ritual for extending their penises using extending devices made from nature. There’s the folklore of the “Sudanese Arab” tribes being the supposed origin of the Jelq. This origin claims there were centers of enlargement where the older men taught younger men the “art” of Jelqing.

Consider the Batammariba people who are known for their penis elongation techniques. It’s reputed a combination of topical herbs are used in conjunction with stretching the penis in a wooden device. They are supposed to use the techniques as a rite of passage.

There’s also the Turkish “Celik” method – which is also attributed to the origin of Jelqing. There’s even a rumor Jelqing was created as a “prank” in the 60s’. This particular rumor was initially claimed by a penis enlargement course that ridiculed the Jelq, yet used a very similar exercise they called the “Cow Milk” as one of the main exercises in its

Regardless of the origins, if you’ve researched penis enlargement exercises at all, then you’ll likely note the ubiquity and affection for the exercises known as the jelq. It appears as a staple in most male enhancement routines because it’s easy to perform and the feel of the exercise is one that has to be felt to be appreciated.

In addition to exercises for “enlargement”, another form of male enhancement involves improving sexual stamina. This particular form of enhancement ranges from merely improving hardness to help counter impotence. Advanced regimens can help you master near absolute control over your orgasms/ejaculation and can even allow you to develop the capacity for “Male Multiple Orgasms” (MMO).

Interestingly enough, while there’s not too much mainstream approval for the concept of “natural” male enhancement at this time, there are documented data in medical/scientific publications that prove the effectiveness of penis enlargement using traction (extended references).

The most popular sexual stamina exercise (the Kegel) is actually listed in Wikipedia as being able “…to increase the size and intensity of erections.” 1

The Erect Kegel is THE exercise to master if you wish to refine your timing and MMO capabilities. More on how to use this particular exercise for this purpose is outlined in the Stamina Exercises section of this publication, and it should be used in conjunction with the “Stop and Start” exercise (also mentioned in the stamina exercises section).

Ironically, the most effective routines appear to be “manual” in nature- or at least consists of a combination of manual and device-based training.

The earliest recorded routine on record that made history regarding penis enlargement training is known as the “Chartham Study”. The routine used survives today as the DASH or Penistone Course. In the 90’s came Internet-based manual training programs like the “Jojido” method and the extremely popular Penile Fitness course. This particular course, at its peak, sold several hundred courses per day!

At about the same time, Internet forums were all instrumental in popularizing the concept of penis enlargement/male enhancement. It’s very enlightening to look through some of the longer standing forums to see how the attitudes toward male enhancement evolved – from hard skepticism to open-mindedness and finally, to acceptance and even promotion of the subject.

In my opinion, the evolution of male enhancement forums has done more for the niche than anything else so far.

There have also been some high-quality books written on the subject of male enhancement, and many had a great influence on the various methods used to this day. One of the seminal publications which had a profound effect on modern male enhancement techniques was Gary Griffin’s book, Penis Enlargement Methods: Fact and Phallusy. On the more esoteric side, you have Mantak Chia’s publication The Multi-Orgasmic Man: Sexual Secrets Every Man Should Know. Lately, Rob Michael’s Penis Exercises: A Healthy Book for Enlargement, Enhancement, Hardness, & Health comes to mind for a great read on manual training techniques.

We have the passive form in the history of herbal remedies found in many cultures. Traditional Chinese medicine to this day recommends tiger penis as an aphrodisiac and virility. The Kama Sutra outlines a path to enlargement which involves using wasp stings. The more effective and less dangerous methods of supplemental enlargement/enhancement persist to this day.

The herbs maca, yohimbe and epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) are a staple in many modern sexual supplements. They persist because they’ve been proven to enhance penile blood flow- thereby improving the quality of erections. Yohimbe, in particular, is also known as an aphrodisiac.

Any substance that can induce more powerful erections can be used for the purposes of enlargement and enhancement. This is especially the case if the penis has shrunk due to disuse. These supplements, when used in conjunction with a sound male enhancement routine, can accelerate penis enlargement as well.

On a side note about Viagra, this particular drug was initially meant to treat hypertension. It was discovered to have the side effect on inducing erections by inhibiting enzymes that don’t allow the penile smooth muscle to relax. While this drug is supposed to be prescribed for legitimate medical purposes, it’s often prescribed as a panacea. The excuse given is most men’s impotence is psychological in nature. The drawback to this is men with serious psychological ED may need to be given to opportunity to treat their disease- and not merely the symptoms of it.

No discussion of male enhancement is complete without mentioning physical vs. psychological impotence. Most men with ED suffer from the latter, and the problem with dealing with psychological ED is convincing the man in question the obstacle to performance is his own creation- and in severe cases, the result of conditioning and perhaps even self-induced hormonal fluctuations caused by being in intense states of frequent anxiety.

If you suffer from these issues or even if you’re merely looking to maximize your potential, the data in this publication can provide a (non-medical) guide to assist you.

Penis-and-scrotum transplant patient reports near-normal erections, orgasms

The update is good news for others in need of sensitive transplants.

BETH MOLE

This article is a repost which originally appeared on ARS Technica

More than a year after undergoing a 14-hour operation to transplant a penis, scrotum, and lower abdominal wall, a severely injured veteran reports that he has regained normal sensation and function of his new body parts.

The young man now has “near-normal” erections, the ability to achieve orgasms, and normal sensation in the shaft and tip of his transplanted penis, according to his medical team at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He urinates while standing up with a “strong stream” and no issues with urgency or straining. (The transplant did not include donor testicles, to avoid the possibility of fathering non-genetically related children.)

The doctors reported the update on their patient November 7 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The man—who wished to remain anonymous—was the first to undergo such a complex genital transplant and only the third in the world to have a successful penis transplant (a fourth has since been carried out). The transplant repaired a traumatic injury from an improvised explosive device (IED), which destroyed the man’s penis and scrotum and caused substantial tissue loss in his lower abdominal wall. It also led to above-knee amputations of both his legs.

The transplant of organs and tissues from a closely age-matched donor was an immensely difficult one, requiring surgeons to develop a whole new revascularization technique to ensure a proper blood supply. But it appears to have been a success by all measures.

Since the transplant, the man has reported improvement on self-reported pleasure scores, as well as reporting an improved self-image and “feeling whole” again. The man has returned to school, is living independently with leg prostheses, and is “very satisfied” with his transplant and his outlook for the future.

The success of the man’s transplant is encouraging news for the others in need of such a sensitive reconstruction. According to the Department of Defense Trauma registry, 1,367 men—nearly all under the age of 35—returned from Iraq and Afghanistan with genital injuries between 2001 and 2013.

The surgical team at Johns Hopkins had plans to undertake 60 penis transplants. They estimate that this first, complex transplant cost $300,000 to $400,000, though surgeons performed the operation for free.

Savage Love: Do men lose penis size as they age?

By Dan Savage

This article is a repost which originally appeared on DETROIT METRO TIMES

I’m an otherwise healthy male of 54. When I was a teen, my cock measured about six-and-a-half inches. Not small, not huge, pretty average. I never kept track of the situation down south, but suddenly I find my junk reports in just over four inches. WTF? Is this normal? Do men lose size/girth as they age? I’m only 54! How much more do I have to lose before 60? And beyond? I’m single now and suddenly I’m afraid to be intimate with women I formerly would have embraced without a second thought out of embarrassment. My confidence is at an all-time low. I’m actually afraid to ask anyone out for fear of “exposing” the evidence. I assume there are no pills for this, but please tell me there are options.

—Shrinking In Seattle

“We have to make a distinction between observed penile length and actual penile length,” says Dr. Ashley Winter, a board-certified urologist in Portland, Oregon. “Penis length changes in real time based on a number of factors, factors that include level of arousal, stress, and ambient temperature. For this reason, researchers like to limit variability by measuring the ‘stretched flaccid length’ in a warm room.”

Needless to say, most men aren’t observing — much less measuring — their dicks when they’re soft.

“We know that almost ZERO home dick measurements are done in the flaccid state,” says Dr. Winter. “But unless SIS jotted down the room temp or precise level of arousal when he measured his teenage penis, it’s unlikely he’s comparing apples to apples. Another issue — and a far less appreciated one — is that the penis is anchored to the undersurface of your pelvic bones, so nearly one-half of the average penis length is ‘hidden’ along the undersurface of the pelvis.”

There’s a very special tendon — the suspensory ligament — that runs from the base of your penis to your pelvis. In addition to providing you with some degree of control when you’re erect, SIS, the suspensory ligament also holds some of your dick up and inside the body. Men who want their cocks to look larger when they’re soft and who don’t mind if their hard cocks are harder to control or flop around during intercourse will sometimes have this suspensory ligament cut, which causes the penis to “drop.” Their cocks aren’t as useful for sex, it’s true, but there’s more “observable” cock for other men to admire in locker rooms and at urinals.

“The most dramatic cause of lost ‘observed’ penile length with aging is weight gain,” says Dr. Winter. “As the average guy gains weight, more of his fixed penile length gets hidden, as the crucial sit-bone-to-skin distance gets longer.”

So your dick may not be any smaller than it was in your teens, SIS; it’s just that more of it may be hidden inside your now-middle-aged body thanks to weight gain and that damn ligament.

But hey, let’s say you’re no thicker today than you were in your teens and that your arousal levels are constant and that you’ve kept your apartment at a constant temperature over the decades. Could something be causing your cock to actually shrink?

“The main causes of actual penis shrinkage are having your prostate removed, Peyronie’s disease (plaque development that narrows or bends the penis), or the scarring of erectile tissue, something called corporal fibrosis,” Dr. Winter says. “SIS would know if he’d had prostate surgery, and he would have a noticeable ‘lump’ or change in erection shape if he had Peyronie’s. So the main concern here is corporal fibrosis. It can be insidious and is usually associated with conditions that make blood vessels unhealthy — like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. SIS says he’s healthy, but the penis is often the first body part to manifest signs of the above conditions because it is so dynamic. Which means the penis, wonderfully and tragically, is often the ‘canary in the coal mine’ for cardiovascular health.”

Let’s say your canary is shrinking, SIS. What can you do about it?

“First and foremost, he should realize that far less women would care about his penis length than he does,” says Dr. Winter. “Studies including 52,000 individuals showed that 85 percent of women were satisfied with their partners’ penile length, while only 55 percent of men were satisfied with their own length.”

And unlike you, SIS, the women you sleep with today aren’t going to be comparing the dick you’ve got now with the dick you had (or thought you had) then.

“But if SIS wants to maximize his ‘observed’ penile length, he should shed extra weight — if he’s overweight — and should also check in with his doc for a test of his cholesterol, blood pressure, and a diabetes screen,” says Dr. Winter. “Regular erections do help keep the penis healthy, so if he has some ED, a Viagra (or similar med) can preserve length.”

Stamina Training Specifics, Similarities With Male Enhancement & Bodybuilding: Ask The Experts

Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about Stamina Training specifics and similarities with male enhancement & bodybuilding.

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

Q. In the instructions for Stamina Training it’s advised to ejaculate at the end of the Stop and Starts…

…but what if I want to get the benefits of not ejaculating? Can I train the Stop and Starts without ejaculating?

Big Al: If you’re training for sexual proficiency, then SOME regular ejaculations are required. There certainly is a risk of ejaculating too frequently, but ejaculating infrequently can create a “use it or lose it” scenario.

I am aware of the Chinese study that shows a spike in testosterone levels after 7 days of abstinence, then a DROP. If you read through the study, you’ll note where it states: “No regular fluctuation was observed following continuous abstinence after the peak.” It should also be noted that additional testosterone in your bloodstream will not increase your penis size if you are a healthy adult.

The takeaway from this is you should find the level of ejaculatiory frequency that’s right for you- enough to preserve your libido and allow for increased functioning, but not so much you deplete your libido and energy. The general recommendation is to ejaculate 3-4 times a week, so you can work from this point to determine the optimal frequency for you.

Q. I’ve been having some troubles with my routine – First and the main is that my erection isn’t good at all …

It might and probably is due to my sleep and hard training at the gym …

I’m sleeping ok , 8+ hours every night but around 5pm. I’m super tired and I get it that I should take a nap -will do it from tomorrow …

Stop and Start time dropped – first two stops are 2 minutes top and then the last one I somehow manage to do 7+ minutes and when it gets really close to ponr I remember to breathe …

Anyway , I’ve decided to take a break from todays and next two routines just to rest the penis a little bit …

And yes , I wanted to ask you about doing stop and starts with a woman –

1) This one doesn’t matter if it’s with a woman …

I read that I should masturbate up to couple of seconds before ejaculating …

Is that how it should be done or when I feel that the end is about to come – my pelvic floor starts tensing and I know that I’ve lost control over it – when should I stop , first or second ?

2) Are there some positions that you suggest since I need to have full control over the motions ?

3) And I understood that I shouldn’t do the Stop and Starts if I have sex more than three times a week ?

4) Since in the past I managed easily to get erection after finishing once or just maintaining it , is it bad to cum 3,4 times per evening when with a partner ?

5) And when coming 3 or 4 times, do you suggest doing the Stop and Start each time or just the first time ?

Big Al: Given the totality of your circumstances, you may not be allowing enough recovery for progress. A few days off would be a good idea, and when you resume, let’s stick with Stamina Only (Kegels and Stop and Starts) for awhile until you feel conditioned enough to transition to a full routine.

To answer your questions:

1) Performing the techniques of the Stop and Starts during sexual activity is a superior practice to the manual version, but also more difficult to control. You’ll need to experiment with learning how you feel when you’re building up to ejaculation. If your pelvic floor begins to flutter this is a good sign you’re getting close. Slowing/stopping at this time should allow you to hold off ejaculation/orgasm. Learning when to stop and the timing in which you kegel in reference to approaching the PONR is going to take practice.

2) Missionary position allows you maximum control, and when performed correctly is often the preferred position for giving a woman orgasms.

3) You should limit the MANUAL Stop and Starts as per the “60 Minute Rule” outlined in the Stamina Exercises section. You can have as much sexual contact as you can handle, but please be aware that sex can be considered a form of training. If you’re engaging in a lot of sex (several hours a day, multiple days per week) this will cut into your recovery. Yo umay need to take extra days off between your enlargement sessions to account for this. Compound this with other types of trainign and you can see how you’ll need to optimize your recovery if you wish to be able to handle it all.

4) If you can recover enough to engage in 3 to 4 bouts of sexual activity per evening then more power to you 🙂

5) Practicing during live sexual activity is different from manual training. I don’t want to place any positive limitations on you (which includes the number of “stops”), but you should ensure you’re attempting to increase your time each session.

Q. I like the way you’re so methodical about training!

As a bodybuilder, I can relate to a lot of the principles you outline in your courses. Would you say that having experience with bodybuilding can be helpful to penis training?

Big Al: There are some similarities (and some important differences) with weight training and male enhancement training. Male enhancement does rely on progressive training principles to force progress, but the feel of the movements and the resultant level of tissue stretch is far more important than reps or intensity. Also- with the exception of Kegel-type exercises- male enhancement exercises are passive in nature. The concept is similar to PNF style stretching for bodybuilding.

Introducing: Enlargement Magazine!

I’ve been honored to have been asked to participate in male enhancement’s newest online publication: EnlargementMagazine.com!

The following was written by Enlargement Magazine editor M9ter:

“Many other men’s hobbies enjoy the benefit of being covered by their own publication, offering the community a valuable resource to combine knowledge, standardize terminology, and often be the first exposure the public has to the hobby.  Enlargement Magazine (EM) aims to be that publication for the over 20 year old penis enlargement (PE) community.

“Multiple PE forums and sales websites compete for the attention of those new to PE, themselves overwhelmed by the huge variety of options that vary wildly in efficiency and safety.  EM hopes to change all that, with impartial product and site reviews as well as the worlds first PE safety rating system. EM wishes to work with PE sites and product manufacturers to improve safety and quality, the outcome being more satisfied PE users and in turn increased profits. Think Consumer Reports (TM) for the PE hobby.

“The magazine will also offer articles written specifically for the PE community, interviews with the legends and up and comers of the hobby, and more. We are honored to announce Big Al as our February interview, as well as featured guest on the forthcoming Podcast.

“The magazine is written by and for PE enthusiasts. EM’s editor is himself a 23 year PE veteran known online as M9 or M9ter, founder of Reddit’s largest PE forum, (r/ajelqforyou) with over 18,000 members.  M9 was recently featured in a Men’s Health Magazine article covering the state of the PE community and was inspired to create EM after his experiences with Men’s Health. Enlargement Magazine is free and membership is not required, so we urge anyone interested to please stop by.”

EnlargementMagazine.com is still in its infancy but please be sure to bookmark it as it’ll only grow with time!

ABC told ‘Batman’ actor Burt Ward to take pills to shrink penis

By Nicki Gostin

This article is a repost which originally appeared on Page Six

Burt Ward revealed how he fit into that Robin costume.

For baby boomers and classic TV fans, the name Burt Ward is instantly recognizable as the loyal and extremely excitable Robin on the campy “Batman” series which ran on ABC from 1966-1968. Just this week he happily unveiled a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame which he called an “amazing experience.”

The Caped Crusaders costumes were bright and tight-fitting to say the least, so snug that Ward incurred the wrath of the Catholic League of Decency.

“They thought that Robin had a very large bulge for television,” Ward told Page Six, although he promises that it was all him, unlike Adam West who played Batman.

“With Adam they put Turkish towels in his undershorts,” he explained.

The problem grew so tumescent that the studio had Ward see a doctor who prescribed medication “to shrink me up.”

Thankfully Ward quit taking the pills almost immediately.

“I took them for three days and then I decided that they can probably keep me from having children,” he said. “I stopped doing that and I just used my cape to cover it.”

Despite starring in the number one rated show at the tender age of 20, Ward swears he didn’t spend his evenings getting hit on by ardent admirers.

“You must understand I never smoked, drank or did drugs so I never went to a bar in my entire life,” the Dynamic Duo member explained. “It’s not to say I didn’t go out and have a good time but I never went out and did what you think Hollywood (celebrities) do.

“I was a straight-A student at UCLA. In fact, the Dean at UCLA was upset with me when I left in my third year to do Robin because she said I should have been a nuclear physicist. I was in the top 3% in the United States in science and math.”

Despite not receiving any money from the TV show in decades, Ward is not bitter explaining that he was never in it for the money. Instead, he and third wife Tracy devote themselves to charity.

“My wife and I run the largest giant dog rescue charity in the world,” Ward says proudly. “15,500 dogs would be dead if it weren’t for my wife Tracy and I. At all times we have a minimum of fifty dogs at our house with us.

“We make our dog food,” he continued. “We’ve discovered a way to double and triple the lifespan of dogs. Our food is in all the stores across America. It’s called Gentle Giants and we don’t take a penny from it.”

My Story & About the Client Study (from The Ultimate Guide To Male Enhancement)

The following is a chapter taken from the book: The Ultimate Guide To Male Enhancement.

My Story

My first interest in male enhancement came about while researching the promotion of the e-book “How To Get Incredibly Huge & Super Strong Naturally.” While researching potential advertising spots, I noticed in the various muscle magazines at the time, there was an inordinate amount of ads for penis enlargement surgeries and pumps. Because of what appeared to be a large demand for those types of services, it was then the decision was made to look into researching “natural,” less intrusive (and expensive) alternatives for increasing the size of the penis without surgery or expensive alternatives to add to the natural weight training/fitness manual.

During this phase of self-education, I learned many of the advertised techniques for “enlargement” did little to nothing to actually improve the function of the penis. On the contrary- most phalloplasties (penis enlargement surgeries) at the time required a 6 weeks minimum rest period of recuperation, during which time the penis and its associated organs are left to flounder in “disuse” (with the exception of post-surgical hanging required to ensure the severed ligaments do not reattach themselves). This is very important as [even then] the chief complaint among men was one of a lack of stamina or erectile ability. While this was usually combined with requests for size increase information too, this led me to think there was a definite relationship between size and optimal functioning.

Several months and some extensive research later, I embarked upon testing the “bonus” penis enlargement routine I added to the bodybuilding course. To my surprise, I started getting, on average, about ten email queries for the PE information for everyone having to do with bodybuilding, powerlifting, or other requests relevant to the fitness manual. Added to this, the request for details for PE information were much more urgent and heartfelt than those for the bodybuilding data. Some of these men were feeling extreme anxiety due to their self-perceived inadequacies and based on those emails, I made the decision to focus my time on the Internet toward furthering male enhancement.

While it wasn’t my initial intention to get involved in the world of male enhancement, it seemed it chose me. As of writing this book (2017), it’s quite humbling to see how far things have come and I haven’t looked back or regretted it ever since. What was once only a very small group using self-experimentation techniques (and with a lot of resistance to boot), has blossomed into a worldwide community that is starting to see backing by medical professionals and mainstream research. While there’s still ways to go, male enhancement has come light years from when it started.

In my opinion, it’s the online male enhancement forums where most of the progress has been made in this field. All thanks to the members of forums like PEGym.com and Matters of Size, and to innovative thinkers like Tom Hubbard, Dr. Howard, Mike Salvini (DLD) and BIB (creator of the BIB Hangers) who have made all of this possible. I must repeat: I’m truly thankful for being able to be a part of it all!

This part also explains the intentions of this publication – it’s not to make anyone a guru or a celebrity, but to help others maximize their potentials and to help them discover their own inner powers. Following is a table detailing the Client Study – Size and EQ Gains

About the Client Study

It’s appropriate to offer some evidence of how men who have used various male enhancement techniques made their gains. The Client Study mentioned toward the end of this publication goes into details, but the thing that stands out is the sheer variety of techniques and effective variations on how each trainee came to their goals. While some commonalities can be seen, there are variations on how each went from start to finish. One constant that can be relied upon for making gains though is “Erection Quality”- or EQ. EQ is a subjective measure of combined stamina and hardness. Trainees with high EQ (or who develop high EQ) often report a much greater rate of gains than trainees who have moderate or poor EQ. In many cases, a trainee with excellent EQ will make gains even if their enlargement-based training is haphazard- as opposed to a trainee with poor EQ who performs their training according to instructions.

Ensuring your EQ is high and continues to grow along with your size is an excellent way to ensure you’re getting the most out of your training.

Lessons in Manliness: Viktor Frankl

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from Cory Edwards. Cory is a professional musician and songwriter. He lives with his wife and two children in St. Louis, MO.

Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) was a psychotherapist and brain surgeon who specialized in treating depression, especially for those prone to suicide. Being a Jew in Nazi Germany, he was sent to Auschwitz where he was reduced to nothing but his “naked existence.” As he entered the camp, they took the last of his belongings, including his clothes, his wedding ring, and the manuscript of a book he was writing. Then, every inch of his body was shaved as he was escorted into a shower room. His only consolation was that real water dripped from the shower heads instead of gas.

Frankl was a studious man who didn’t get a lot of physical exercise in life. One of his fellow prisoners said Frankl was the least likely to survive the torturous regimen in store for him. But by leaning on his rich inner life and helping other prisoners, along with some strokes of good luck, he lived to tell the tale. His story is a lesson in manliness for times of suffering, whether that suffering is small or great.

Have a sense of purpose. Frankl kept himself alive by developing a purpose: to keep other prisoners from committing suicide. He did so by helping them to achieve their own sense of purpose. He would encourage one man that he had to survive in order to return to a daughter that was safe in a foreign country. He would encourage another, who had no living relatives left, that he must return to his profession to complete the work he had begun.

In addition, part of his sense of purpose was to suffer well. He wrote, “It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.”

Develop a rich inner life. The man in the concentration camp who had a strong mind would often prove to be the stronger prisoner. These were men who could appreciate, on a cold march in the snow, the beauty of the mountains, the forest, or the sunrise. They kept their minds active by composing speeches, reconstructing lost manuscripts, and imagining life after imprisonment. They had prayer meetings to keep a strong connection to their religious beliefs.

Frankl said, “Sensitive people who were used to a rich intellectual life may have suffered much pain (they were often of a delicate constitution), but the damage to their inner selves was less. They were able to retreat from their terrible surroundings to a life of inner riches and spiritual freedom.”

Develop a fervent love for your wife. For those who were married and truly in love with their wives, an extra source of strength was available to them. This was not a place where mere sexual fantasy could relieve a man from suffering (the sexual drive was mostly dead for the underfed and overworked prisoners). However, thinking of his wife – her features, her voice, and little incidents from their life together – a man found considerable strength for endurance. Frankl found this to be the case whether the wife was alive or dead. He often thought of the words of Solomon: “For love is strong as death.”

Frankl wrote, “I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a position of utter desolation, when man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way – an honorable way – in such a position man can, through loving contemplation of his beloved, achieve fulfillment.”

Choose your attitude. Frankl wrote, “The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance.” This does not mean to think rainbows on a cloudy day, though it can. It can mean choosing indignation over coldness, joy over sorrow, strength over weakness, hope over despair. No man’s behavior is dictated solely by circumstance. His behavior can be directed by choice – the choice every living man has.

Viktor Frankl’s story can be found in Man’s Search for Meaning, a book about the psychotherapeutic ideas that he honed while in concentration camps. It is recommended reading for any man, showing the depths to which one can sink and the heights to which one can rise in the middle of the most horrific suffering imaginable.
