What Do You Want From This Community? 💬
Added 2025-04-15 14:30:09 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I wanted to take a moment to check in with you, because this community exists for you. I’ve been reading through exit surveys and noticed some folks mention they were hoping for more of my presence here. I really appreciate the honesty. It helps me grow and serve you better. ❤️
Just to give a little behind-the-scenes: I post here daily (Monday through Friday, sometimes Saturdays too), share 2–4 videos a month, and host regular livestreams, like our book club, insider hangouts, and guest interviews. I’m also checking in on the community chat and Discord almost every day sharing updates, answering questions, and connecting with you all.
But here’s the thing: community means two-way connection. So I’d love to hear from you: what would make this space even more valuable or supportive for you?
✨ What are you looking for from me?
✨ What kinds of content or interactions feel meaningful to you?
✨ How can we make this space feel more alive and connected?
Drop a comment below or message me directly—I’m all ears. 🧠👂
Thanks for being here. Truly.
Let’s keep building something awesome...together. 💛
xo, Dr. Susie

Great question, handman! Are you looking for specific tips for shaving or are you open to waxing or trimming?
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-06-22 19:43:33 +0000 UTCDo you have any tips for safely grooming pubic hair? I have excessive body hair and prefer to keep things nice and neat downstairs, but I sometimes struggle when shaving the delicate wrinkly skin of my scrotum.

2025-06-20 15:06:27 +0000 UTCYes, it is the same procedure for penile rehabilitation. But please consult with your medical provider to tailor a program customized to your needs. And thank you for the kind compliment! 💕

2025-06-18 14:26:28 +0000 UTCDr. Susie I had watched your video "pump like a pro" but I was more interested in how to use a penis pump just for penile rehabilitation purposes. Would I use the same the same procedure for rehab purposes? I need penile rehab because I do not get spontaneous erections any more. Thank you for all your help and as i always say "you are AWESOME".

2025-06-17 20:03:49 +0000 UTCDr. Susie, I am about to start using a vacuum erection device but I'm a bit scared that I might cause an injury to the penis. Can you give me your recommendation on how often to use the device and how long for each session. Thank you Dr. Susie.
Carlos
2025-06-16 18:24:24 +0000 UTCYes, that’s definitely a possibility in both cases. Medications like PDE5 inhibitors or injectable therapies may be the most helpful here. I’m also a big advocate for cardiovascular exercise, it’s well-supported in the research for improving erectile function.
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-06-15 14:02:46 +0000 UTCDr. Susie, I hate to keep asking questions but I trust you more than my urologists for these types of questions. So I am 66 years old and I turned diabetic 5 years ago when they removed most of my pancrease due to pancreatic cancer. Since then I have been able to maintain an A1C of 6.4 which according to my endocrinologist is very good. So even if I have controlled my A1C, am I still going to have erectile issues just by virtue of the fact that I have diabetes? I also have a history of hypertension but has been very well controlled with medication, so same question am I going to have erectile issues just by virtue of the fact that I have hypertension?
Carlos
2025-06-14 20:24:38 +0000 UTCYou're very welcome, Carlos. 🙂
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-06-14 17:13:19 +0000 UTCThank you Dr. Susie, I will let you know how my therapy goes. I will probably have more questions.
Carlos
2025-06-14 17:08:31 +0000 UTCI’m sorry to hear your first pelvic therapy visit didn’t feel supportive. Loss of spontaneous erections can have several causes, like cardiovascular issues and diabetes are two common ones that a medical doctor would assess. From a pelvic health lens, your therapist should ask specific questions about your sexual function to help figure out if a referral to a medical doctor and/or sex therapist makes sense. A thorough pelvic exam would look at things like sensation, muscle tone, strength, and coordination.
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-06-14 16:28:24 +0000 UTCDr. Susie, I recently posted a comment on a bad experience with my first pelvic floor evaluation/consultation. I have found another place where the initial consultation was more on education and my next visit will be the external/internal exam. One of my main issues that I want addressed is that I have lost spontaneous erections (night time, morning and day time). Is there a specific therapy or treatment procedure that I should ask for to fix this issue? Please give me your thoughts.

2025-06-04 20:32:54 +0000 UTCIf anyone is near the Asheville, NC area and willing to volunteer, let me know!
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-05-30 17:45:00 +0000 UTCI would volunteer but I live in the Houston area.
Carlos
2025-05-30 17:39:11 +0000 UTCIdeally, I'd love to have real live model for the treatment techniques but having a difficult time finding a model with intact foreskin. Tight foreskin may be considered phimosis-- there are varying degrees of tightness but in general, phimosis is when the foreskin is unable to be pulled back over the glans.
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-05-30 17:08:04 +0000 UTCDr. Susie, you mentioned that you have an idea to treat a tight foreskin. I think I have a tight foreskin. But can you explain the difference between phimosis and a tight foreskin. Thank you. I think you are AWESOME.
Carlos
2025-05-29 02:48:37 +0000 UTCHey Carlos, Unfortunately, I don't have a solid referral for a pelvic therapist in Houston. Dr. Brooke Miller took my sexual pain course a few years back so she may have some recommendations to share that are closer to Houston—she's in Highland, Village, TX: https://peakrxtherapy.com/about
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-05-20 15:14:39 +0000 UTCI would LOVE to have a model who has their foreskin intact. I have an educational video and live demo idea for treating tight foreskin—any volunteers?!
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-05-20 15:11:56 +0000 UTCI know it might be tough to find a live model for it, but have you thought about doing a video on issues specific to uncircumcised men?
Vv H
2025-05-20 14:24:01 +0000 UTCYes, it's possible to have pelvic floor muscles that are "weak" because of diminished ability to voluntarily relax. This can change the power produced if the range of motion of the muscle is limited. Symptoms are just one piece of the picture and an external and internal examination is necessary to confirm.
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-05-16 23:46:10 +0000 UTCOne more thing Dr. Susie, that therapist said that I have both weak and tight pelvic floor muscles just based on my the symptoms that I described to her. Is it possible to have both?
Carlos
2025-05-15 01:50:13 +0000 UTCDr. Susie, yes it would be greatly appreciated if you could recommend a good pelvic floor therapist here in the Houston area.
Carlos
2025-05-15 01:47:24 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing your first session experience with us, CS. Sounds like it was an incomplete assessment, especially for an initial evaluation. A quick convo and one cue-based exercise like “holding in poop” without any palpation or internal assessment doesn’t give the full picture of what’s going on. It’s frustrating when care feels like a checkbox. You deserve a provider who takes the time to really understand your body and symptoms. Let me know if you want help finding someone else in the Houston area.
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-05-14 19:34:09 +0000 UTCDr. Susie, I just wanted to share my first pelvic floor therapy experience yesterday. I saw a therapist with one of the big urology clinics in Houston. The initial consultation lasted about 45 minutes where we talked about my symptoms (this in normal for any initial consultation. The last ten minutes she showed me an exercise that I would do at home, she said like "holding my poop" which I guess was some form of a kegel. All this was done fully clothed so no palpation of the perinium nor an internal exam. She then sent me off and said we will follow up in one month. NOTHING like one of your initial evaluations.
Carlos
2025-05-13 17:28:13 +0000 UTCAw, thanks Bamboo!
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-27 15:07:17 +0000 UTCYour pelvic floor exercises demonstrations are most helpful. Your smiling face is always welcome!!
Bamboo
2025-04-27 10:44:09 +0000 UTCGlad you’re still sticking around for the curiosity satisfaction—and you’re absolutely right, to my knowledge there’s no other community quite like this, especially one advocating for men in pelvic floor therapy. We will be silent no more, my friend! I’m so glad you feel seen and heard—and that all of you is welcome here… yes, even your organs. 😉
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-21 20:19:24 +0000 UTCYou're very welcome, David! I appreciate your kind comment. Thanks for being here. 💛
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-21 20:06:09 +0000 UTCThanks so much for your feedback—I really appreciate your support. I totally agree with you: live model demos are not only more helpful for learning, but they go a long way in normalizing pelvic floor therapy. A lot of folks here have shared that these videos—and the support from this community—gave them the confidence to take that first step and start working with a pelvic therapist.
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-21 18:49:02 +0000 UTCThe honest, frank, (not too serious) uncensored tutorials that truly get to the point of helping and recognizing that we’re wanting relief from the pain and discomfort, and not caught up showing us on a photo, diagram, or plastic model have been nice. Just being able to see how to do this stuff ourselves, even if we are already seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist in person, it’s the alternate opinion/take/technique or even hearing an opinion/technique that might arise again that reinforces or might help find relief from the discomfort.

2025-04-21 17:56:26 +0000 UTCThank you for being here, Craig! I'm glad my content is resonating with you so far. I would be happy to add more content around the treatment of fecal incontinence. I appreciate your suggestion! 💛
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-21 17:50:42 +0000 UTCHi Dr Susie, I just joined your Patreon today and have already enjoyed a lot of your content. I was recently referred to PTF and this has helped relieve a lot of my anxiety about what it all entails to go for this type of therapy (I didn't even know it existed). The one topic I haven't seen anywhere is how this therapy can specifically help with fecal incontinence, as that is one of the reasons I was referred. Thanks for all your care and concern!

2025-04-21 17:40:40 +0000 UTCI am here to learn more and understand my body better - like I have said before, I have had a number of medical issues pop up and one required me to have a Urolift procedure completed - it was in reading about that procedure I came across Dr Susie - I have found her to be very informative and helpful in a light hearted yet kind mannered way - I have stayed out of curiosity and to learn more about everything - I also have diastasis recti as a guy and have learned how interconnected that is with the pelvic floor, prostate, my posture and so on - thanks for this little kind informative area of the internet Dr Susie!!!
DVM-David
2025-04-17 04:27:11 +0000 UTCI originally came here because I was new to pelvic floor physiotherapy, and was trying to learn and build expectations. I'm mostly staying for curiosity satisfaction, especially related to information and content that doesn't really exist elsewhere. I've been taught my whole life, my testes and penis are a "problem to be kept silent about". This is the first place where I feel like my organs are allowed to be part of me.

2025-04-17 00:57:59 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this kind and thoughtful message, David. It truly means a lot. I’m really glad the content has been helpful and that the mix of info and humor is landing well. Your words are a great reminder, and I appreciate you recognizing the effort behind the scenes. 💛
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-16 14:42:10 +0000 UTCI'm so happy to hear that the videos and discussions have been very beneficial for you on your pelvic health journey! We're glad you're here too! I appreciate the honest and heartfelt feedback.

2025-04-16 14:39:16 +0000 UTCThanks for your feedback, Byron!
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-16 14:38:05 +0000 UTCI have enjoyed my short time here. The videos and discussions have been very beneficial as I begin my pelvic health journey. The frank and sometimes funny discussions help remove some of the stigma and mystery surrounding this aspect of men's health. I for one am glad I found this community and plan to stay a long time. Please keep up the great work Dr. Susie and don't worry too much about the ebb and flow of the community.

2025-04-16 13:43:03 +0000 UTCAs a visual learning the live demonstrations help me most.

2025-04-16 11:56:19 +0000 UTCExit survey!! Exit interview Interesting. That is cool you are anal-lyzing your data and metics. I guess that’s what the digital word is all about. I’m happy with this platform & your interaction here. I’m not so needy or expecting a response right away. You get to the response at your convenience and Lia sure that’s what I say. As mentioned we don’t want you burned out. I have to be carful of my engagement and be mindful of work And family. I feel this is a good outlet for me to question, inquire, maybe vent or just share experiences where I can not be viewed as inappropriate. This place seems to have a common theme of Understanding with out saying or going through alllll this back story. We just know here! Xoxo. One idea I thought of was what if when you did a live hangout could you do ever do a Microsoft teams meeting. As if it was a class or meeting? So we can choose to have our video on and or microphone. Then some of us regulars can here each others voices or see each other. I mean that would be cool but understand if that’s not possible. Ciao ciao

2025-04-16 10:58:53 +0000 UTCFrom where I stand/(sit), I think things are right where they should be. Your posts are informative and professional with a light sense of humor to make discussing these sensitive topics easier for ALL involved - also, you can't please all of the people all of the time - what I have experienced thus far, the content and discussions have been right on target and very helpful!!! I appreciate all of your efforts in answering our questions in a timely basis so THANKS for that!!! Also remember that you have a life too and you don't need to be here 24/7 regardless of what some may think - all I can say is keep up the GREAT work and I look forward to keep learning as much as I can!!!

2025-04-15 21:42:33 +0000 UTCLove hearing that—thank you! I’m so glad the vibe’s feeling right so far. And yes, if anything ever comes to mind, don’t hesitate to share—I’m all ears (or shall I say rears?)! 🤣 I couldn't resist...
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-15 17:49:52 +0000 UTCThanks so much for sharing that, Guy. It means a lot to me. I love hearing that the videos (and your own pelvic therapy journey) helped you feel more at ease and break through some of that inhibition. It’s huge when we start to realize there’s more to learn and feel curious instead of shut down. And the fact that you want to support other men and their loved ones is so kind and powerful. I really appreciate you being here. 💛
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-15 17:45:09 +0000 UTCRight back at you, Queen! 😘 I appreciate your kind message and advice. Yes, I definitely know that work-life balance is a must to keep this "big clit energy" going, haha. I'm glad to hear that you all are appreciating and enjoying the content so far!
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-15 17:32:59 +0000 UTCI hear you, Douglas—this one’s tricky, especially with massage therapy given the varying state laws and scope of practice acts. I do know a few massage therapists who venture into what some might call “grey” areas, but they’re definitely the exception, not the rule.
susie@drsusieg.com
2025-04-15 17:30:26 +0000 UTCI think that you should lead a coalition to refer patients to therapy that could not be done under the existing laws. A pelvic floor doctor should be able to write a Rx for pelvic floor massage therapy. Massage therapist should be trained and licensed to do these. It would legitimize the medical need.
Douglas Roberts
2025-04-15 17:21:23 +0000 UTCHi! You have made a lovely space for men and women to come together and feel like apart of a community where pelvic pain is normalized, made to be less scary and intimidating to deal with. There are not many resources out there for men like you offer and that's something to be proud about! Patreon has a predictive cycle of new subbies and people who leave, I think once the content has been consumed the sub leaves and that's normal. As you know the burn out factor with work, life and extra curricular activities, please take care of your energy. We will appreciate you even more for that as leading by example! You're the bestest you got this queen!😝❤️
Jenniewaifu
2025-04-15 15:24:02 +0000 UTCYour videos on pelvic therapy for men helped me peel back layers of inhibition and try to feel at ease (normalize?) taking care of my health. That and having pelvic therapy made me aware that there is more to learn. And, as with my experience with cancer, I want to support other men and their loved ones by sharing.
Guy (works)
2025-04-15 14:52:24 +0000 UTCWell, I'm still fairly new in the community, but so far I think it had been a wonderful mix of good (the original reason I joined) and friendly banter. As of right now, I can't think of anything more is like to see, but as I'm here longer I may come up with things and I'll be sure to tell you.
