Right, so I stumble upon this AskMen (http://www.askmen.com/love/love_tip_60/67_love_tip.html) page and read about the miracles of PC-muscle-exercise. I figure "hey, this actually sounds pretty neat." So I try some of the exercises. Clench then unclench rapidly, for 10 seconds... okay... so far so good...

Then I get to the "clench for 10 seconds and hold." WTF? The most I can hold it clenched is 3 seconds, and even that's no cakewalk. If I really try, I can get about 4 seconds. If I started clenching other muscles (like they say you're not supposed to do), I can hold it for 5 or so.

Am I just a weak-penised subhuman? But see, my muscle is STRONG... I can put a towel on my dick and raise it up and down, and according to that same site that's pretty good. But why can't I keep it clenched?! Will this improve if I continue to exercise?

So it's not hopeless? I can improve? This isn't some ingrained deficiency?

No idea, but it can't hurt to try.

From what I understand, it's a muscle like any other, so it will become stronger with constant exercise.

I took this up for about a month a couple years ago, and saw some vague results, nothing too amazing. I then got lazy and quit.

I might start doing it again though.

Well, I just consulted with some friends. One can make it 3 seconds, the other only 1. So far I'm in the lead with my amazing 4 seconds of PC-clenching might.

The article suggests I start with 10 seconds and work up to 120, though. Makes me wonder.

But the article promises so much.

Maybe it's possible. It would probably take alot of dedication though. I had a hard time keeping to it, even though it seems pretty easy at first. I mean, all you're doing really is clenching a muscle in your dick.

But after a while, it just got kinda tedious, and I started to question whether it was really worth it or not to continue.

Personally, at least at the time, I didn't find it to be practical enough to be worth the time/effort, as minimal as it may have been.

I must be clenching the wrong muscle, 30 seconds and not even remotely tired yet

This thread has brought back old memories and lots of laughter. Well done.

It's not that it gets tired, it's just that it... won't stay clenched. :/ It FEELS fine, doesn't hurt or anything, it's just like there's some basic command to relax ingrained in me or something.

It's the muscle that cuts off the stream of urine when pissing, btw.

I can do 10 seconds, but not much more. It depends entirely on the person. It is a muscle though, and the more you use it, the stronger it'll get.

And it has nothing to do with the strength of your erection. Your penis is a muscle in and of itself(I think). But what you need to work on is the muscle inside that seals off any secretions.

Dont get disheartened. Just keep trying. I'm sure it'll pay off eventually. If you can only do it for 3 seconds, then thats all the more reason to practice more.

Rofl! Yeah I hate how it just looses muscle tension even though your flexing it.

But trust me, if you 100% Dedicate to it the results truly are fabulous. When I learned to do it and I learned to hold in ejactualtion. When you finally let it go... I thought my head was gonna go through the roof/feels good.

Exactly!

No, it does control how "strong" your erection is. Or at least, that's what all I've read has said; and it makes sense to me (try clenching it with an erection, and notice how your dick lifts up and gets a little harder etc). But thanks for the encouragement I only hope I can improve.

When you guys say "towel," are you referring to a bathroom towel like your gf wraps her head in after a shower, or something like a dish towel? I think we should clarify this, as one is significantly more impressive than the other.

LOL, you're talking about an excersize. If you started weight lifting, you would be like "Well, I'm doing the press properly...why cant I do 500lbs right away??"

Give it time. you're excersizing and improving a muscle, which takes time and effort.

Wet towel or dry towel? That makes a difference too... but it doesn't matter since I can use my cock to flip pizza pies.

Bathroom towel. The type you dry off with after a shower. I started trying a while ago, just on a whim, and have been able to do it for a while now. ?

That's a good point... still, the article makes it sound like if you can't do 10 seconds right off the bat it's pointless. I mean, come on, 120 seconds as a goal?!
