Ok, if I wasn’t motivated to work those muscles out before, I sure as hell am now! ---

Oh, to all the guys here–Kegels aren’t just for us lady types, you know… Men who regularly work the old pelvic floor have greater control over where their dick points (very handy to avoid those “oops, ouch” moments when zig happens during zag time) and also have more control over timing their orgasms as well. A nice side effect is that strong PC muscles produce more dramatic orgasmic contractions in both sexes and orgasms are more fun for everybody! It just amazes me all the people who do weight training and aerobics and stretches and jogging and all the rest of it–but who completely ignore their tackling gear as being somehow unworthy of joining in the fitness craze… But I guess most people don’t look on screwing as a sport nearly as much as I do… 😃 ---

At 24, directly after birthing my first (9lb 14 oz) child, my OB thought to comment as he repaired the damage “If you don’t Kegel, you’ll wet yourself every time you laugh by the time you’re 40.” From that day to this, I have taken his advice. Almost every woman at work my age and older has had to have bladder repair/A&P surgery. I would never fake orgasm–that’s just crazy talk…counter-productive and why would I not orgasm? Ditto to what **SmartAleq** said–I too have wicked control. Practice makes permanent. So, yes, a woman could fake it, especially with a man not experienced with \*\* _Women Who Kegel._\*\* ---

Yeah if you put your finger in there and squeeze a few times fast it really does feel pretty much the same to your finger as if you orgasmed. If someone could tell the difference he’s the orgasm detective and he should get that stencilled on his door. ---

[QUOTE=Chronos] > [@](#): > > My apologies. I figured that the plural of Magus is Magii, so the plural of Penis is Penii. Magi, not magii. In general, words that end in -us in the singular are masculine and end in -i in the plural, words that end in -um in the singular are neuter and end in -a in the plural, and words that end in -a are feminine and end in -ae in the plural. Words that end in -is, however, despite sounding very similar to -us in English pronounciation, are rather more complicated. They can be masculine, feminine, or neuter. They will generally end in -es in the plural, but other parts of the word might change in the process. For instance, the Latin plural of “clitoris” is not “clitores”, in analogy with “penis/penes”, but “clitorides”. [/QUOTE] And there’s a staff report on the correct plural of penis (& other information about plurals) by bibliophage too: [http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mplurals.html](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mplurals.html) ---

Kind of related but not - Kegeling ladies, do you get a giggle from giving your man a squeeze when he’s in the post-orgasmic cooldown, and is incredibly sensetive, just before withdrawing? I get no end of amusement from making Mr Indigo squirm that way, and he hates it 😃 ---

I still do not get why a woman would fake an orgasm. As Seinfeld said there are two kinds of female orgasm -real and faked. And we men cannot know the difference. But why do it? Yes I want the lady to have an orgasm. But why would you fake it? You are not giving me an orgasm by faking yours! ---

[QUOTE=EJsGirl] My friends and I adopted the “stoplight rule”- every time you’re at a stoplight, do at least 15 kegels! [/QUOTE] Hey, that’s a good idea. That means that during my average drive to work, I’d be doing at least 3600 Kegels. 😉 Anyway, I’ve seen these metal dildo-looking things that are supposed to help you exercise your pelvic muscles. A barbell for your cootchie, I guess. [Here’s one.](http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-3-BF-0102--m-08_15_51.html) Anybody know how they work and if they work? ‘Cause **SmartAleq** got me thinkin’… (We have some workout equipment in the basement. El Hubbo made a nifty rack to hold the dumbells. I wonder what he’d say if I asked him to add another notch for my vagina barbell?) ---

Amen…Some men actually do get pleasure from pleasing their significant others. If a girl fakes it, the guy will never know he’s not actually pleasing her. ---

My vagina can do all sorts of weird and wonderful things to simulate an orgasm, but my nipples cannot tell a lie. 🆒 ---
