Day 1:
The package arrived today. It’s not actually
very big containing only a little box with
the Kegelmaster and some additional leaflets
and the DVD. The leaflets all make sense,
although reading too much about urinary
stress incontinence doesn’t make getting
older anymore interesting to me. Hopefully,
my Kegelmaster will solve such problems as
stress incontinence for
me before they even consider turning up in my
life.
The
Kegelmaster itself is about the size of a
vibrator in lilac color, which is oddly
reassuring, as it seems rather
non-threatening in pastel colors. The whole
thing consists of two plastic halves, which
open up to let one insert individual springs
across to adjust resistance. Once I realized
how
the springs need to go in, the design seems
really simple and intuitive.
Watching
the DVD, I can’t help but think "how very
American". It is also very detailed and
covers the content of the leaflet which came with the Kegelmaster. What I
hadn’t considered before was that you do the
exercises lying on your back, which will mean
having some privacy in bed or on the couch
for a little while. The DVD stresses the
importance of using the Kegelmaster every
day, which I can fully understand, but it
gets me thinking of where and when to fit
the exercises into my rather variable days.
First day:
I know I need to start today, but I am still
procrastinating. So many other things
suddenly need doing! Finally, I take my
Kegelmaster out of the box and get ready.
There are some last minute insecurities
about privacy. Actually, yes I do want to
try this by myself first and would feel
rather embarrassed if someone else walked
into the room.
Once I have
everything ready, lubricant applied and
ready to go, I start wondering whether the
Kegelmaster really needed to be that big.
Memories of less than pleasant gynecological examinations come to mind.
But of course it fits just nicely and the
plastic doesn’t feel cold either. Then I
start with the squeezing. Nothing much
happens. I am starting to wonder how
complicated it will be after all. I
adjust the spring to a position higher up the
resistance scale. I squeeze again. Success!
I can feel it move, plus looking forward I
can see the gap between the two parts of the
Kegelmaster decrease when I squeeze. It’s
working! I do my best to squeeze and hold
and then really let go. The muscles in my
legs seem to be working a bit too, and I get
the sense that it may take a while to do it
just right. However, the tricky part seems
to be over, and doing the exercises is
actually quite OK. Maybe put some nice music
on next time.
Afterwards I
think that wasn’t so tricky after all. My
muscles don’t feel any different yet,
although I can feel them glowing
warmly afterwards. However, my mind is
certainly racing ahead: I bet it’s going to
be just amazing what one can do with those
muscles once you can do this with two
springs in the machine.

Day 8:
The Kegelmaster is certainly working, but I
seem to struggle to make the time for it. I started on my period and it
took an extra effort not get put off by the
extra body fluids. The exercises themselves
don’t feel any different and the Kegelmaster
is designed to cope with all sorts of body
fluids, so no worries there. The exercises
themselves are getting easier - no doubt about
it.
What I have
also realized is that women have an enormous
advantage here over men. I mean, just
imagine: if men could train a set of muscles
to give them hard erections each and every
time, surely pretty much all men would go
for it? Unfortunately for them, evolution didn’t
quite work this way. However, we women do
have the option of exercising a set of
muscles which are under our voluntary
control and which can increase our sexual
enjoyment. Why aren’t we all Kegeling?
Approx day
11: Where do I start? First off, I have
moved the resistance up a peg. I can really
feel how my muscles are doing the crunching
much more easily now. It certainly gives me
confidence in the whole training approach -
it works just like with any other type
of muscle. What I really didn’t expect is
how somehow my subconscious has started to
conceptualize my vagina as active and
powerful. OK, I knew this before, at least
in my head, but this feels different. It’s
as if that part of my body has just woken up
and is now claiming some space in my felt
awareness. I am re-considering what it means
to me to be a sexual female. Certainly my
vagina seems to be developing some ideas of
her own here!
The Kegeling
approach also seems to have had a knock-on
effect on my other half. He has gone from
his usual level of "very keen" to "very, very,
definitely, unmistakably keen"! I feel very
flattered, slightly bewildered and rather
responsive. When I asked him whether it felt
different to him he just gave me a
coquettish "maybe"’. I am starting to
consider buying my mum a Kegelmaster.
1 month:
You are going to ask me now whether I’ll
hang on to my Kegelmaster or not. You bet I
will! Although it’s not always been easy to
fit the exercises in, they're really working
in a whole lot of ways I didn’t expect. The
effects of the Kegelmaster seem really
systemic, i.e. not just noticeable in my
pelvic region. I seem to be having plenty of
erotic dreams and seem to be experiencing an
increased sense of desire generally. The
exercises leave a very nice, warm afterglow
in the muscles each time. Really tuning into
my pelvis at this point brings all sorts of
interesting ideas into my head.
Additionally, now I wholeheartedly agree
with the claim that the exercises increase
blood flow to the area whilst in action. The
resulting sensations are certainly
worthwhile 10 minutes of dedication per day.
All women DO need a Kegelmaster, but you
certainly can’t have mine!
