From this wiki article about Kegel exercises - Is this really possible? Never heard about this before. As a man the two (O&E) go together like … well like things that always go together.
Should we men start Kegeling?
Benefits for men
Men can also use Kegel exercises.They are used to strengthen the pubococcygeal muscle, which may allow them to achieve orgasm without ejaculation and perhaps reach multiple climaxes during sexual activity [4]. In men this exercise lifts up the testicles, also strengthening the cremaster muscle as well as the anal sphincter. While women are able to add resistance to the exercise through isometrically gripping a hard object, or by compressing an object such as foam or a penis, there are no known techniques that would add resistance to male Kegel exercises. Some believe draping a towel over the shaft and lifting it does this, but any force possibly applied to the muscle in this way would be limited to the biological inheritibility of the penis’ shaft to stay erect and resist bending, in a combination of blood flow (‘hardness’), genetic construction, and tissue integrity. No serious scientific studies have been done into the ‘bodybuilding’ and strength-building of the member through this method, although a niche market definitely exists in the realm of penis enlargement, and various urban legends abound for (with groups dedicated to the propogation of) methods of strengthening and enlarging the penis through various methods of exercise and resistance.
I’m sure Kegel excercises are beneficial, but a word of caution:
One time, I was in a really boring meeting, and did some Kegels, thinking, “hey, it’s good for you”. But the meeting went on a little too long, and I did too many Kegels, I reckon. You do not want to do this. It hurt like a bitch for a day or two, and I mean there was no relief whatsoever…I feared taking a piss so much that I quit drinking fluids. Do not overdo it, whatever you do.

Going to meetings will never be the same again. I will now be unable to keep from thinking about what people are doing under the table. :eek:
