What Size Bathmate Should I Get?

XX50 bathmate bathpump

XX50 bathmate bathpumpThe Bathmate Bathpump is one of the best penis enlargement pumps in the world. Not only is it made of the highest quality materials, its unique design allows you to pump while in the bath or shower. This allows you to pump while you go about your normal bathing routine – and in your busy life, multi-tasking like this is a great way to save time!

However, one of the questions we get most often is –

What size Bathmate should I get?

Bathmate offers a wider range of sizes. Their 20-, 30-, 40-, and 50-series penis enlargement pumps ensures they have a penis pump perfectly sized for you. But, how do you determine what is your perfect sized pump?

Why Is Choosing the Right Sized Bathmate Penis Pump Important?

Choosing the properly sized Bathmate pump is need to ensure you maximize the effectiveness of the pump.

  • Too Large? – A penis pump that is too large for you reduces vacuum pressure. This then means you don’t get the maximum vacuum and results.
    .
  • Too Small? – A Bathmate penis pump that is too small for you means you won’t get the maximum expansion possible, whether that be in girth, length or both dimensions.

Keep reading to learn how to measure your penis correctly.

3 Steps to Choosing the Right Size Bathmate

Thankfully, choosing the right sized Bathmate penis pump for you is just 3 easy steps away!

  • measure erect penis with rulerStep 1 – Get an erection. Because you’ll become erect in the Bathmate, it’s important to take your measurements from an erect state.
    .
  • Step 2 – Measure your erect penis with a ruler pressed lightly into your pubic bone.  If you do not have a ruler, use any rigid, straight tool, mark the length, and then measure that using a measuring tape. The purpose of using something rigid is so you can do a bone-pressed length measurement. Measure right to the tip of your penis. If you have a curve to your penis, try to straighten your penis as much as possible along the ruler.
    .
  • Step 3 – Find the best Bathmate penis pump for you, depending on this measurement. (See the sizes below.)

Best Bathmate Penis Pump for Penises Up to 5 Inches

If your bone-pressed erect length measurement was less than 5 inches, Bathmate has developed the X20 series specifically for you.  You can choose either:

Bathmate X20 Bathpump Hercules Bathmate Hydropump Hercules
Bathmate X20
Bathmate X20 Xtreme

Best Bathmate Penis Pump for Penises between 5 and 7 Inches

If your bone-pressed erect length measures between 5 and 7 inches, the Bathmate X30 series, as well as the Bathmate original Hercules, are perfect for you. You can choose:

bathmate hydropump hercules bathmate X30 hydropump hercules bathmate X30 Xtreme hydropump hercules
Bathmate Hercules
Bathmate X30
Bathmate X30 Xtreme

Best Bathmate Penis Pump for Penises between 7 and 9 Inches

bathmate X40 hydropump hercules bathmate X40 Xtreme hydropump hercules
Bathmate X40
Bathmate X40 Xtreme

 

Best Bathmate Penis Pump for Penises Above 9 Inches

It is the largest, most powerful pump on the market. NOTE: DO NOT overestimate your size. If you are truly not over 9 inches, this pump will be too large for you, and you will not get the proper vacuum.

Top 6 Reasons to Use a Male Enhancement Coach

male enhancement coach word cloud

male enhancement coach word cloudA post was made on the forums asking members if male enhancement coaching (and specifically MaleEnhancementCoach.com) was a real thing.

Of course, we’ve had thousands of meCoach clients, over the years, very happy with the expert coaching – in fact we started a thread  – meCoach Testimonials – for clients to share their experience.

But, the question is still valid – Why would someone want to use a male enhancement coach?

I mean – can you reach your male enhancement goals on your own? Is spending the money for a coach really worth it?

Here are our top 6 reasons why you should use a male enhancement coach.

  1. EXPERTISE – Whether you’re looking for penis enlargement, increased sexual stamina, controlling premature ejaculation or some other aspect of male enhancement, a coach can help you with their expertise. They often know exercises you wouldn’t even think of and have encountered clients in similar situations. They can also help you with underlying aspects that you may not have considered, to help you reach your male enhancement goals.
    .
  2. EFFICIENCY – Sure, thanks to the Internet and the PEGym forums, you can find out a lot about male enhancement. We even have great beginner routines posted online for you to start with. However, working with a male enhancement coach will make sure you’re doing exactly the right exercises, in the right frequency and for the right duration, with the right intensity, for your unique male enhancement goals. This means with a coach, you’ll reach your male enhancement goals faster than if you went it alone.
    .
  3. SAFETY – Just like traditional exercise, if you do penis exercises wrong or do the wrong frequency and or intensity you can injure yourself. Working with a male enhancement coach, they will make sure you’re doing the exercises safely, and help make sure you progress at a safe rate, helping you avoid injury.
    .
  4. MOTIVATION – Body change, whether it be penis enlargement or weight loss or muscle building, takes time and effort. This is where a male enhancement coach can really help! They can help you stay motivated. They’ll be your own, personal cheering section.
    .
  5. ACCOUNTABILITY – The reason most people fail to meet their goals is because they don’t have someone pushing them to continue. Everyone starts off toward a new goal super-excited! They have a goal in mind, many even have a plan on how to get there. But, sometimes life gets in the way. Work – family – friends – they begin to take precedence over your plan to reach your goal. With a male enhancement coach, you’ll have someone making sure you don’t get too side-tracked.
    .
  6. SUPPORT – There’s a significant limit to material you’ll find on the Internet – it’s a one-way exchange of information. You can’t ask a YouTube video questions. Even our forums, which have lots of members willing to give their input, these people won’t really get to know you and your unique situation. For this reason, they can’t provide the same level personalized support a male enhancement coach can give you. In fact, a really good coach can even anticipate some of your questions.

Chemical Penis Enlargement

Chemical Penis Enlargement

human growth hormone - Chemical Penis EnlargementThis topic pops up in the forums every now and again. The posts usually start by saying something along the lines of…

I’m into (or just starting) body building and am taking (or thinking about taking) HGH. What do you think of HGH as a means of chemical PE?

Most of the time, these are well-meaning guys trying to get the results they want, as quickly and easily as possible.

I get that. And, it’s always good to consider all of your options when trying to bring about change.

However, HGH use has some pretty serious side effects (including those that could lead to potential death), so I figured we could talk about it here, so they don’t get lost in the millions of posts on our forums.

What is HGH?

HGH is short for human growth hormone. It’s produced by the pituitary gland and spurs growth in children and adolescents. The recombinant version is used to treat children with growth hormone deficiencies. Some have used HGH as “off-label” in the hopes of improving athletic performance and building muscle mass.

In the United States, HGH  is only available legally as a prescription. For that reason – if someone were thinking of using HGH, for any reason, they need to obtain it through a prescription, from their doctor.

Please note: Not all doctors will prescribe HGH. You’ll need to see a specialist – like an endocrinologist.

What are the Dangers of HGH?

For healthy adults, in particular, there are significant dangers to using HGH. These include:

  • side effects - Chemical Penis EnlargementHigh cholesterol (and associated heart disease and early death)
    .
  • Increased risk of colorectal cancer
    .
  • Increased insulin resistance (and eventual diabetes)
    .
  • Gynecomastia (swelling of the breast tissue in men – guess you get man boobs along with a temporary increased penis size)
    .
  • moobs - Chemical Penis EnlargementJoint and muscle pain
    .
  • Edema (swelling in the arms, legs, feet and hands)
    .
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
    .
  • Decreased bone density (maybe not so important when you’re 20-something, but when you’re 60 and break a hip from a simple slip, you’re probably going to regret taking HGH when you were a kid)
    .
  • Loss of libido (sex drive)
    .
  • Sagging skin and increased skin wrinkling due to loss of skin tone

In fact, if you’re prescribed HGH by your doctor, standard protocol is to require monthly blood tests to monitor cholesterol and blood sugar, as well as bone density scans, because these risks are so high. With these things in mind, unless you have a medical reason for taking HGH, you’re pretty much playing Russian Roulette with your health.

Are There Natural Ways to Boost HGH?

Thankfully, there are natural ways you can boost your human growth hormone and avoid these dangerous side effects.

Laughter, sleep and exercise are three of the best ways to increase your body’s natural production of HGH. Lowering your stress levels as well as lowering your blood sugar levels will help improve your natural HGH levels. L-arginine and L-glutamine have also been reported to help your body naturally maximize HGH.

Can You Increase Your Penis Size with HGH?

HGH can temporarily increase blood flow to all parts of the body – including the penis. This can result in a temporary penis enlargement gain. And, if you see something online about how HGH caused multi-inch growth in a matter of weeks… well, watch out for that snake oil salesman! To get real penis enlargement results – enlargement that’s permanent – you need cellular growth and multiplication.

This is where penis exercises and PE equipment, like Bathmate pump or Phallosan penis extender, comes into play.  Manual penis exercises or penis enlargement equipment cause enough stress on the cells to create microtears. This then facilitates reproduction in their repair, to result in true tissue growth – not just expansion.

Although it might be tempting to try a shortcut like HGH, given the dangerous side effects and the fact that it won’t really result in permanent growth – stick with natural means of PE. Your gains will come, if you put the work in!

8 Tips For Buying a Great Christmas Gift (or Any Other Holiday, for that Matter)

tips to pick the perfect christmas gift

tips to pick the perfect christmas giftThe holidays are a stressful time of year for many reasons. One of the most common reasons guys give for being stressed out is the dread of gift giving!

If you’ve ever asked your partner, “What do you want for Christmas?” and got a non-answer, you know how frustrating this can be. You  just want to get them something they’d like… something they want. Why can’t women just say, “Please buy me X.”? Wouldn’t that be so much easier!

You’re not alone.

But, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. That old adage about gift giving — It’s the thought that counts. — is correct!

Most women want you to put some thought and some effort into choosing their gift. In fact, most would prefer a gift they never even thought of, that you clearly put a lot of thought into, than something they’ve hinted at (or directly asked for).

So, to help you out, here are our eight top tips for buying a great Christmas gift (or any other holiday gift, for that matter!)

  1. Think About Your Partner – Really sit down and think about what your partner likes. This includes what they like to do. Do they like to garden or cook or ski? Do they like owls or yoga or wine?
    .
  2. Think Outside the Box – Once you’ve thought about your partner and their likes, try not to go for the obvious associated present. Example – Your wife likes to cook. Don’t go for a kitchen gadget, instead look for a cooking experience! Maybe a food tour of local restaurants (many cities have tour companies that do this) or a gourmet cooking class (if you have a Williams Sonoma near you, they have fun ones each month!)
    .
  3. Make it a Couples Experience Gift – Chances are, there is something your partner would love to do, and you’re just not into it. Salsa dancing lessons. A couples massage. Paint and wine.  Tickets to an upcoming musical. Maybe even a couples mani-pedi. These kind of girly things have a lot of guys cringing. So, what better gift – than one where you’re actually giving of yourself too! Going out of your way to make your partner happy adds something extra special to your gift!
    .
  4. Pay Attention – Most women will try to at least hint at things they want as a gift. But, I’ll admit, sometimes we’re too subtle. Again, we don’t want to tell you what we want – because we want some thought being put into the gift. But, we also don’t want to be disappointed Christmas morning. So, pay attention! Take your gal to the mall and pay attention to the things she shows interest in. If you have a hard time remembering things – text yourself a note with the items she likes, as you guys shop – or snap a sly photo!
    .
  5. Talk to Her Mom and/or Friends – There is absolutely nothing wrong with enlisting the help of your partner’s mom and/or friends, when it comes to brainstorming an idea for a great present. If you have an idea you’re not sure about, these gals can also be a great sounding board to bounce your gift ideas off of!
    .
  6. Do Some Cyber Sleuthing – You can find out a lot about a complete stranger, with some creative cyber sleuthing – the same is true for your best gal! Look at the products and pages she has Liked on Facebook. See who she’s followed and Liked on Instagram. Check out her Pinterest account to see the things she’s Pinned. All of these can give you ideas for gifts she’d like!
    .
  7. Be Sentimental – Think about gifts that make you think of your partner or of special times you’ve spent together. One of my favorite presents MrKimberly got me was a mix-set of MP3s of all the songs that reminded him of me. This included a song from when we were first dating, that always seemed to come on every time we got into the car.
    .
  8. Stay Away from Practical – OK, if your girlfriend has been talking about how much she really wants a new iron, don’t make that the only gift you give her.  Yes, if she really wants something – even a household appliance – get it. But, also think of something else a little more special, to really show her how much you love her.

What are your suggestions for picking the perfect gift for your partner? What gifts have you given in the past that your woman loved? What have you given that they hated?

Free 3-Day Isagenix Trial

isagenix weight loss shake

isagenix weight loss shakeThe proof is in the pudding… or the shake LOL… as they say.

If you’re looking to lose weight, you need to give Isagenix a try.

Of course, if you need to lose weight, I also know how frustrating it can be to get your hopes up about a weight loss solution only to find out — either it doesn’t work or it’s just too difficult to implement into your daily life for any serious length of time.

So, I’m looking for 3 members to give Isagenix a try… for FREE!

You’ll get 3 days of meal replacement shakes. All I ask is you do a couple of things –

  1. Weigh yourself the morning before you start – naked or just in underwear.
  2. Replace 2 of your meals each day with the Isagenix shakes. (They mix up with water in any shaker bottle or you can mix them in a blender or nutribullet-type blender if you want, but a shaker bottle is easiest for on-the-go.)
  3. Have two 150-calorie max snacks, if needed, between meals.
  4. Enjoy your third meal to not exceed 600 calories.
  5. Weigh yourself again on the morning after your last day of trial shakes – again naked or just in your underwear.
  6. Report back to me how much weight you lost and your experience!

If you’d like to be considered for this free 3-day trial you can either PM me or reply to this post HERE with how much weight you’d like to lose total and that you’re willing to do the above 6 steps and that you’re OK with me sharing your results (I can do it anonymously, if you’d like) with the forum.

3 members will be chosen randomly to participate.

Just an update – MrKimberly is now at his goal weight!! I’m so proud of him! He went from 183 to 155 in just over 7 weeks! (He’s 5′ 8″, so 183# was getting to be a bit too much for his body frame.)

Now, of course, just like PE, everyone’s experience with Isagenix is unique. That’s one of the reasons I love the product – they aren’t making crazy claims, they just have people share their experiences!

But, MrKimberly’s loss was with a VERY hectic travel schedule – he was literally home 6 days in the month of October! So, even with traveling, he took his shakes and shaker bottle, and kept on the program. (He found he can eat quite a bit of sashimi (his fav travel food) for 600 calories – even enjoy a beer, every now and again. 😀 )

His BMI is now in the normal range. His blood pressure is down back into the normal numbers! We have a follow up with his doctor in December to check his cholesterol and blood sugar, but I’m betting these are going to be improved too! His doctor had HOPED he’d lose 15 pounds, in 3 months. He’s going to be shocked that he’s lost 28! (Or maybe even a few more pounds by then!)

Working out was minimal, due to his travel schedule. I can’t imagine how well he would’ve done if he had had time to get into the gym!

Now his goal is to put on some muscle mass, so he’s switching to the Isagenix Performance line. He likes the convenience of the shakes, especially when he’s really busy with work, and more importantly he says he like how he feels. I can totally second that opinion! I FEEL so much better since we started with Isagenix. I have SO much more energy!

I’m just SO proud of MrKimberly! I love him no matter if he’s 155 or 255 – but, he is so happy with himself, you can see it in his eyes! That pleases my soul! 😀

Anyway — PM me or post to this thread HERE. I’ll take responses until Monday, November 27th.

Happy Friday, y’all!

FDA Finally Realizes Smaller Condom Sizes are Needed in the United States

FDA Finally Realizes Smaller Condom Sizes are Needed in the United States

condoms too big - FDA Finally Realizes Smaller Condom Sizes are Needed in the United StatesAs a woman, I can only imagine how frustrating and disheartening it would be, to purchase a “regular-sized” condom… only to discover it was too large.

Well, if this has ever happened to you – you’re not alone!  And, the FDA finally has realized that smaller condom sizes are needed in the US.

Recent CDC figures on condom use revealed just a third of single men use condoms regularly and one of the most common reasons for non-users is they ‘slip off’.

A study by Indiana University on almost 2,000 men revealed the average erect penis length is 5.57 inches – about an inch shorter than the standard condom size.  The average condom size, in America, is 6.69 inches.

Now the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates health industry standards, has conceded that there is a need for smaller condoms in a desperate bid to lower the rates of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.

Regular-sized condoms can vary greatly in size, ranging all the way up to 8.3 inches long, and around 4.1 inches in circumference.

These average sized condoms, according to an American-based condom manufacturer, only fit 12 percent of men. The rest have varying widths and lengths that are not catered to by the one-size-fits-all approach.

These figures sit in line with scientific research.

The most high-profile study, conducted by Dr Debby Herbenick at Indiana University, asked 1,661 men in the U.S. to give the size of their penis. Researchers were not involved in the measuring, leaving this practical aspect to each individual.

According to Dr. Herbenick, she trusted men to give accurate measurements, since any exaggeration would simply leave them with a poor-fitting condom.

‘If they reported a bigger-than-reality size to us, they would get a baggier condom,’ she said. ‘If they reported a smaller-than-reality size to us, the condom would be too tight.’

The study documented varying lengths – from 1.5 inches to just over 10 inches.

Of course, the self-reporting aspect of this study leaves some questions to its accuracy, in addition, the method for achieving erection was left to the participant’s discretion, which could affect size. The research team also found that the size of the erect penis varied depending on how it was achieved. Oral sex proved more arousing than masturbation or being stimulated only by sexual fantasies.

However, one thing remained consistent – “regular-sized” condoms are often too big for the average American male.

So, what’s the problem with having a condom that’s too large?

Obviously, if a condom comes off during sex, it’s not going to be effective in preventing pregnancy or protecting you against STDs. Now, this might not seem to be a worry, if the condom is simply too long, but, as you’ll see in the graphics below, there are several potential issues with condoms that don’t fit properly.

Is There Such a Thing as Good Carbs?

good vs bad carbs isagenix weight loss energy workout performance

“Good” carbs. Is there such a thing?

While the media and fad diets may tout otherwise, carbohydrates are an important part of a balanced diet. The trick is to choose quality sources that will not cause your blood sugar to spike and then crash, leaving you feeling fatigued, hungry, and unsatisfied.

good vs bad carbs isagenix weight loss energy workout performance

isagenix isalean barsNot mistakenly, one of the call-outs on Isagenix IsaLean Shake and IsaLean Bar labels is that these products are “low glycemic,” referring to the slow rate in which the carbohydrates are absorbed from these foods. The labeling is intended to assist people, especially those with diabetes, in knowing just how a food will likely boost blood sugar.

Now, an international committee of nutrition scientists from 10 countries has called for more of this type of labeling. In a draft of a Scientific Consensus Statement published earlier this month (1), the scientists listed several reasons for why they feel more attention needs to be given to carbohydrate quality (a measure of glycemic index, or how a food boosts blood sugar).

In one well-designed trial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (2), for example, a low-glycemic diet was more effective in helping subjects maintain a lower body weight than did a diet lower in fats (low-fat diet) or carbs (modeled after Atkins diet)

The subjects on the low-glycemic diet in this study not only better maintained good glycemic control throughout, but also improved their metabolic and cardiovascular profile (namely cortisol and C-reactive protein levels).

Despite the consensus from these scientists, an issue often raised in debates over labeling specific foods according to the glycemic index is that the body’s glycemic response depends more on meals, which are made up of many different foods.

Also, the total amount of carbohydrates in a meal, apart from the glycemic index, is of primary importance in blood sugar rises. For these reasons, the concept of glycemic load considers both quantity and quality of carbohydrates in a meal.

Protein or fiber in a meal can also interact with carbohydrates affecting their rate of absorption. In addition, different kinds of carbohydrates in natural foods such as digestion-resistant starches, sugar alcohols, and fructose are also absorbed slower than other sources affecting blood sugar level estimates.

Isagenix is ahead of the game in this regard—through clinical testing of their complete line of shakes and bars. Each of these products demonstrated that they are unlikely to lead to blood sugar spikes.

That makes Isagenix  an easy choice for your health!
