I am a HUGE Seattle Mariners fan with season tickets but i am afraid to go because i wear diapers, and they have security checking every backpack.
i have urinary incontinence stemming from some injuries i took in Iraq
They have medications for incontinence. Also, try abstaining from any liquids for a few hours before and while you’re there, and I don’t see why you’d have any problem.

A Kegel is a movement of your muscles in your groin, like what you do to hold your urine when you want to go to the bathroom. If you do these movements daily and continuously, you can achieve proficiency to "grab" your sexual partner’s "weapon" OK? now go exercise and make somebody happy!

It’s only been two months for me, and already I don’t even think about it. It just feels normal to me now.
Not too long, and I’d say the more frequently you wear them the more quickly you come to take it for granted. If you wear full-time after a few months it might start to be difficult to imagine going without them.

As far as I know, it’s just the opposite. I’m not sure if it can cause more blood flow to the penis and make it harder, but doing kegels does exercise your PC muscle (muscle in the pubic region) and in theory is going to help you last longer and make your orgasm more intense. There was some disagreement about it, but can’t test it myself as I don’t have a penis.

I have been on birth control off and on since I was 15. And since then I have had over 15 bladder infections. Is it the hormones or is it completely unrelated? I have tried everything to prevent them, but nothing works. But then it seems like when I am not on birth control, I never seem to get them.
I would think it could be very pobable. I would ask your gyno, cause UTI’s might be a red flag for something else going on. Plus….they are soooo rediculously painful!

could any one please tell me how kegel execise is done?
Kegels are exercises to improve the tone of the muscles of the pubococcygeus muscles of the pelvic floor. Those particular muscles are used to control the flow of urine, and in women help with vaginal control as well. In men, they assist with erections. The easiest way to identify the muscles you need to be working is to try to stop urine mid-flow. That will identify the group of muscles and what you need to do to contract them. Once you have learned to tighten them by thinking about it, you can do that same thing even when you aren’t going to the bathroom. You can do it sitting, standing, lying down- just about any position you like. You can also do it when you go to the bathroom each time- until you are able to very quickly cut off the stream of urine. Once you achieve that, the muscles are pretty well in as good a tone as you can get. Then you can use them on the significant other during an "exercise session", and give you both a thrill.

I would think it would take enough to make it like trying to put your finger in a button hole, probably at least 3 hours worth, or till you can’t pull the silver bullet out, whichever comes first.

I have wondered what is the best kegel exercise for men that will help build it. I need a strong one to control ejaculation.
there is only one kegel exercise for men that i know of, indifferent way to do them. one squeeze your but and hold a few seconds.
another is, while urination, stop your urine, let go, stop and finish, do this a few times a day.

Pelvic Floor Exercises and The Bits Below the Belt DVD
Surgery to treat men with prostate cancer is often followed by months of difficulty controlling urine flow, a condition known as urinary incontinence. But new research suggests that this problem may go away more quickly if the men perform certain exercises to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles.
Researchers from the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, found that men who were taught how to perform pelvic floor exercises before and after surgery were more likely to have regained continence three months later.
Men Doing Pelvic Exercises Recover Earlier
In the current study, the researchers randomly assigned 38 men scheduled for radical prostatectomy to either a treatment group or a control group. The men in the treatment group were referred to a physical therapist. They were instructed how to do Pelvic Floor Exercises both before and after surgery, using biofeedback to ensure they were using the proper muscles. The control group did not receive any formal instruction. All of the men completed questionnaires regarding bladder function at regular intervals over the next year.
Overall, 82% of the patients had regained continence (defined as not needing to use any absorbent pads) by the end of the year, including about equal numbers in both groups. But on average the men who had been educated about Pelvic exercises regained continence about one month earlier than those in the control group (at 12 weeks vs. 16 weeks).
Most of the men who did not regain continence within a year were still using at least three absorbent pads a day, indicating continued severe incontinence. The study authors explained that these men probably had extensive damage to the bladder sphincter or severe dysfunction of the bladder after surgery, and the exercises alone were unable to compensate for this.
But the exercises seemed to be effective. Pelvic floor exercise and education initiated prior to surgery is an effective noninvasive intervention useful for improving early return of urinary continence, the authors concluded. It would certainly have a positive impact on our patients undergoing radical prostatectomy in an effort to improve quality of life after major urological surgery.
The results of the study were published in the Journal of Urology (Vol. 170, No. 1: 130-133)
