Work(out) and Play

Today I went to the pool with Michele. I still can’t use a pool or hot tub for about two weeks but I was interested in their gym, specifically the recumbent bikes. I've been feeling pretty darn good and wanting to restart some mild exercise. However, sitting on a standard bicycle seat is likely not yet possible and I'm not ready to restart rock climbing. So, some leisurely pedaling on a recumbent bike seemed like a good alternative. I felt a little bit of discomfort at the sides of the groin but nothing from the “special” areas. My leisurely ride, however, turned into a pretty rigorous workout. With everything feeling so go I couldn’t help but pick up the pace. At first I had some difficulty figuring out the controls on the machine and ended up aborting the first two workout routines. I did end up doing a 20 minute ride at moderate intensity. My legs were slightly sore afterwards but it soon went away.

I recently wrote that dilation is not sexually stimulating and that is definitely the case. However, last night as I was lying there with my hands in my crotch holding the stent in place I began to start rubbing various areas to note the sensation. There are many areas with little or no feeling but many areas are quite alive. My clitoris has feeling, but so far no “electricity”. In contrast, my labia are quite sensate and stroking them felt mighty nice. The area that used to be the base of the scrotum also feels really good. The vagina area itself is still sleeping. I imagine this is all pretty typical at this point. I’m really looking forward to what the future should hold.
