That’s right fellows, ladies aren’t the only ones who can, and should do Kegel exercises! Kegel exercises can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and bowel and affect sexual function. They can strengthen your erections, performance, and orgasms . With practice, Kegel exercises for men can be done just about anytime and anywhere.
Why you should be doing them too
If you have diabetes, an overactive bladder, or have had your prostate removed, chances are your doctor has already recommended kegels to you. However, if none of those apply to you, you can still benefit from kegels. Strengthening them can help prevent dribbling after urination, and delay incontinence. Science has also shown an impact on erectile dysfunction and preventing premature ejaculation. There has even been some indication that they may help correct crooked cocks and create more erect erections! “Some research shows that Kegel exercises can make erections point further up in men whose penises tend to point down or straight forward when erect,” says urologist Darius A. Paduch, M.D., Ph.D., a male sexual medicine specialist at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
How to do Kegels
First you will need to identify your pelvic floor muscles. The easiest way is to stop urination in midstream or tighten the muscles that keep you from passing gas. These tactics use your pelvic floor muscles. Once you’ve identified your pelvic floor muscles, you can do the exercises in any position, although you might find it easiest to do them lying down at first. Once you’ve figured out how to engage the muscles hold the contraction for three seconds, and then relax for three seconds. Try it a few times in a row. When your muscles get stronger, try doing Kegel exercises while sitting, standing or walking. For best results, focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Avoid holding your breath while holding the muscles, just as with any other workouts breathing is important. Aim for at least three sets of 10 repetitions a day.
If you do your Kegel exercises regularly, you can expect results within a few weeks to a few months. For continued benefits, make Kegel exercises a permanent part of your daily routine
