Normally I wouldn’t answer this question, but I hate to see guys feel so stressed about something that truly doesn’t matter as much as they think it does. You’ve got nothing to worry about. The average vagina is about the same length as the average penis. You’re average plus some so you are in good shape. Too long can actually be painful because the cervix is so full of nerve endings. A little more girth doesn’t hurt because the walls of the vagina can stretch, but it really doesn’t have that much to do with pleasure other than maybe psychologically. It really doesn’t feel so differe ...

I’ve found the master cleanse easier as far as having energy. I can get out and do yard work and stuff on it, but with a water fast I pretty much can only lay around and do nothing. I went out today and bought my favorite fruits and veggies and will give it a try eating mainly those for a few days. I think what messed me up last time was trying too hard to incorporate a lot of greens and stuff that I don’t usually eat. I’ll see how it goes eating the stuff I actually like this time. I’ll probably try some variation of the cabbage soup too. I’m not a big cabbage eater so I think I ...

I probably wouldn’t ask this particular doctor because they don’t seem very knowledgeable. Also, most doctors would order a lot of bloodwork on your hormones instead of doing an US anyway. There’s a characteristic level of certain of hormones that’s used to diagnose it. Not all women have the cysts. Quite honestly, I think your doctor was way off base. Personally I would give it another cycle and see if things normalize on their own. If not, I’d see another doctor. This one seems clueless.   [End]

It doesn’t work the other way around, that you masterbate a lot and get more testosterone.   [End]

I’m of the opinion that women should NEVER use birth control pills. The hormones in these pills are not natural to the body and can wreak all sorts of havoc. I’ve never been the same since using them in the mid-80’s. Do all the research you can on natural ways to bring your hormones back into balance. There are many herbs that will encourage the body to return to normal functioning. Cleansing can help too. Especially work on the bowel and liver since these organs affect the hormonal balance by eliminating hormones from the body.   [End]
