Keeping In Shape: It's More Than Flat Abs

We all know what going to the gynecologist entails.  Basically a bit of pressing, a little pushing and a lot of probing...all in a position that would normally take place...well, while you are having a lot more fun.

I've only had two gyn's in my life.  My first was a wonderful, gentle man who, while he examined you, would speak in a very soft voice.  Not a good-looking man (always glad about that), I never really knew much about his life.  But he would always ask about mine.  And tell me what I should do to make the part of it he was involved in ...well more enjoyable.  And here I thought I was doing just fine.

He passed away a few years ago and I now go to a female gyn.  While I was a little weirded out at first, it really is a much more comfortable situation.  She is outgoing, younger and a think she might actually enjoy having sex.

As I arrived for my appointment yesterday, I had no real concerns over my health.  All the moving parts seem to be functioning correctly and I feel better than I have in a long time.  So when the Dr. said I was in really good shape for my age, I smiled as I was looking at the ceiling.  Then I looked at her and realized she was speaking not about my overall body...but actually one specific area....yeah...there.  Who knew it could get out of shape?  And does getting out of shape there mean too much use...or too little?  I probably should have asked, but I was kind of stunned at that moment.

As I got dressed, I was still thinking about her comment...but sure as hell felt pretty good about myself.  So ladies, apparently there is more to taking care of yourself...than meets the eye.  

Use it or lose it?  You decide.

  6. Kegels, baby! I swear by 'em! I figure, if the rest of me is doomed to being out of shape (I blame my kids), I may as well reap the benefits of having those muscles nice and strong.

    Though I'd probably laugh my ass off if my gyn ever said something like that to me. He's a bit of a dork.
