Question:
Ok, I was wondering if you can help me with this: I bought a chinese shrinking cream a few years ago at an adult store. I was surprised that it did work. I did not have any problems to where I needed it, I was just curious as to weather it worked or not. I am now dating a man who is on the smaller side. My ex husband was rather large and I just don't feel as much as I did and I think sometimes my boyfriend may not feel as much as he should, lol. I had mentioned to a friend of mine that I wanted to get some more of that cream now that I do need it. She told me she's been told that "Alum" is used in that cream. That Alum is what tightens you up down there. I was wondering if that is true and would using the Alum you'd find in the spice isle of the grocery store work just as well? Maybe mixing a bit of it with a little water and just putting some on my finger and put it up there about a finger's length or less? I bought some Alum tonight, but have been nervous in trying it as I do not know if putting Alum there would hurt me in any way or cause an infection? My new partner has not said anything, but at times I can tell he may not be feeling me the way he should, as he seems to struggle at times to orgasm.

I'm afraid that I am unfamiliar with Chinese creams and this substance Alum. I am very apprehensive about such products and especially using anything as a "substitute". There is a much, much better way to deal with your penis-vagina size problem. You need to start exercising your pubbococcygeus muscle (PC muscle), a group of pelvic floor muscles that are attached to your pelvic bone. Such exercise can make your vagina more sensitive during penetration, make his penis feel much better and bigger inside of you when you squeeze, make your vagina feel tighter, and make your orgasms stronger and better. He'll reap the benefits as well! You can exercise your PC muscle with Kegel exercises. You must first begin by identifying your PC muscle. This can be done when you're using the bathroom. As you're urinating, try stopping the stream of urine. The muscle you contract in doing this is your PC muscle. Make sure that you empty your bladder completely before continuing. Next relax and concentrate on contracting your pelvic floor muscles. Tighten them and hold for 3 counts, breathing slowly and deeply. Now relax the PC muscle for 3 counts. Perform 10 exercises of these 3 counts, 3 times per day and you and your partner will feel results in 4-6 wks! Thank you for visiting the Sexual Health Network. Yvonne K. Fulbright, MS.Ed.
