Even though I had some issues doing the Kegel exercises I always keep in mind not to over expose myself listening too much with LoTs - once a week is optimal for me.

Morning logs - I haven’t miss a thing, since I discovered Diamond - listening time is maybe once a week or once every twice a week.

My latest Kegel exercises are essentially the same foundational techniques, but with a greater emphasis on variations like endurance holds and quick flicks, performed consistently and correctly. To do them, empty your bladder, then squeeze the pelvic floor muscles for 3-10 seconds, and relax for 5-10 seconds. Variations include holding the contraction for up to 10 seconds and repeating 10 times, or performing quick, 1-second contractions and releases. Aim for 3-10 sessions per day, with 10-15 repetitions per session.

Frequency and consistency

  • Perform 10-15 repetitions per session.
  • Aim for 3-10 sessions per day, spread throughout the day.
  • Consistency is key for results, so try to do them on a regular schedule.

Important considerations

  • Do not make a practice of doing Kegels while urinating, as this can hurt your bladder.
  • If you experience pain, stop and consult a doctor.
  • If you don’t see improvement after 3-4 months, talk to your doctor

Variations and progression

  • Endurance holds: Squeeze and hold for up to 10 seconds, then relax for 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times,
  • Quick flicks: Perform a quick, 1-second contraction and release. Repeat this 10 times for each set.
  • Progression: As you get stronger, gradually increase the hold time up to 10-20 seconds and do more repetitions per set.

Why aren’t young people having s**x any more?

Over the past few decades, s*x appears to have been on the decline among teenagers and young adults all over the world.

In the US in 2010, 12 per cent of 18 to 29-year-olds reported not having had s*x in the past year, according to the General Social Survey, a long-running sociological survey. In 2024, that figure had doubled.

A similar decline in sexual activity among young people is occurring in high-income countries such as Australia and Germany. But it is most notable in Japan, with a recent review finding that around half of Japanese people remain sexually inexperienced through their mid-20s.

This may explain why the number of deaths in Japan exceeded its births by almost 1 million in 2024, a “quiet emergency” according to the then prime minister Shigeru Ishiba.

So, what is going on, and is it really an emergency?
