Various Kegel Types and Stop and Starts: Ask The Experts

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

Q. Why is it recommended to do only 3 stops in the Stop and Starts edging exercise?

And why only 20 to 25 minutes max? Why not, say, an hour?

Al: There are scenarios where one can use 4-10 stops or more- such as with the Extreme Stop and Starts. Essentially, when one isn’t able to last past the 5 minute mark, then more stops can be taken to get to the 5-10 minute mark. Once one get to ~10 minutes with, say, 10 stops, no more time is added but the stops are reduced.

There’s a reasoning behind the 20-25 minute threshold. Once one reaches this point, a level of proficiency is usually achieved which makes it much easier to maintain activity even beyond this point- whereas when one isn’t capable of maintaining some sort of erection under activity for up to 20 minutes, proficiency is comparatively diminished.

Some very advanced trainees do opt to go for up to an hour with the Stop and Starts. This particular version of the exercise becomes an all-inclusive exercise- with light jelqs, pulls, and Kegels all done under a very high erection level. The issue with this is overconditioning- where training creates a scenario where it take a lot of stimulation and time to ejaculate. By keeping an average of 20-25 minutes at 3 stops to the PONR, one gets the best of both world- control, but the option of ejaculating early on command.

All of this assumes you’re not regularly sexually active. If you are, then abide by the “60 Minute Rule”- which states: “For stamina training, a good rule of thumb is the 60 minute rule. If your sexual activity has you engaged in vigorous movements WITH a full erection for a total of 60 minutes or more per week, you can forgo the Stop and Start. For any time less than that, you should make it up in your training.”

Q. Before getting on these forums I though there was only one type of Kegel exercise.

Now I read about more than one, and some are not even flexing exercises! Is there a reference you can give me for them?

Al: It can be confusing when there are so many different variants of an exercise. The following should be a helpful reference: Minuteman’s Kegel Master List

 

Lengthening Devices, Client Study & Sexual Recovery/Training: Ask The Experts

Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about Lengthening Devices, Client Study & Sexual Recovery/Training in this Ask the Experts article.

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

Q. What’s your opinion on all day stretchers and extenders as compared to hangers?

Big Al: My own preference would be to use a hanger- as they offer a much wider range of tension opportunities. You can get started by making your on hanger HERE.

Still, if one shows tendencies of getting more out of training with high volume/low intensity methods then an extender like the Phallosan would be beneficial. Phallosan also offers up to 6.6 lbs. of tension- so it’s comparable to the type of tension you’d get from even the more advanced hanging regimens.

All day stretches are good for those who are looking for very passive forms of PE. It can also be effective when the main interest is anti-turtling- though care should be used when adding an ADS to an already full routine- as even ADS work will require some form of recovery.

Q. I was reviewing your Client Study and was impressed with Client F’s results.

…I want to do what he did! How do I make sure I can get gains like him?

Big Al: While it’s important to use guidelines, the exact training model which worked for him may not work for you. Training is a very individual thing, but please rest assured I’ll do what’s within my abilities to ensure you gain in a safe but timely manner.

Perhaps the biggest determining factor is EQ (Erection Quality- a combined measure of stamina and hardness). EQ is THE foundation of male enhancement! If you have poor EQ then your ability to make gains is going to be hampered. For as long as you’re after enlargement you should be striving to continually push the limits on your EQ.

Make sure to keep your EQ development a priority throught your training career and you’ll stand a much better chance of maximizing your gains.

Q. Lately I’ve been having a lot of sex in the style of the Stop and Starts.

…My abilities to control my penis have increased by quite a bit and my lady is very happy, but I’m having problems with my training. I don’t seem to be recovering like I used to. I thought sex would help me to recover faster?

Big Al: Sexual activity can be considered a form of training. It’s the best thing you can do to maximize your potency. The one advantage the manual version of edging/Stop and Starts has over the live variant is with the manual version one has much better control. This can be a good alternative for those who have enough anxiety to preclude them from live sexual contact, but not so much they can’t obtain and maintain a productive erection on their own.

Training requires recovery. I certainly won’t tell you to limit your [live] sexual activity, but you should be abiding by the 60 Minute Rule as regards sexual activity and MANUAL edging/Stop and Starts.

If you’re very sexually active you may need to have more rest days added to your weekly training schedule to allow for full recovery.
