I understand your frustration with the video. Unfortunately, it’s one of the better ones out there. What she neglects to say is that you need to identify the muscles that you use to shorten your penis and pull it into your body a little. These are the same muscles that you use to stop the flow of urine. If you do it correctly, you can actually see it pull in a little. Standing in front of a mirror helps too. Initially, I think it’s best to do this laying down, then setting, then finally, standing up.

My pelvic floor therapist was awesome. She did not hesitate to politely include reference to the penis in her explanation. In fact, she also taught me an exercise that further eliminates, leakage, and get this, better yet, can help with erections! The exercise is called a “quick flick” and what you do is you quickly pull your penis in with using those muscles, relax and repeat another nine times. Do it several times a day. I do and I feel that things are waking up “down there”.

Hope this helps. I will probably add it into my notes and delete reference to the video in the future.

No, the video would probably be great for others - I'm just an uncoordinated dumbass.
