Kegel Exercises
Named after their developer, Dr. Kegel, kegel exercises are believed to tone up and strengthen the pubococcygeus muscle (PC muscle). This muscle supports the following organs in women: urethra, bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum; and in men: urethra, bladder, penis, and rectum. These exercises can be learnt by anyone and, done on a regular basis, can help correct impotence and urinary problems. The results are always beneficial with enough time and effort.
Benefits of Kegel exercises for women:
- Easier to climax.
- More intense orgasms.
- Elevated sensitivity in the vagina, heightening your sexual satisfaction.
- Lower risk of incontinence (i.e. not being able to hold your pee in).
- Easier childbirth and vaginal muscles will heal faster after birth.
- Improve sex for your male partner by being able to tighten harder around his penis.
For Men:
- Stronger erection.
- More Intense Orgasms.
- Increased power of ejaculation.
- Lower risk of impotence.
You can do kegels right at your desk, even right now. Tighten your PC muscles and hold for a count of eight, then slowly release and repeat 8 times. The PC muscle is the one you flex when you want to pee and are trying not to. Please note that Kegel exercises are normally not done while urinating. Another good time to do kegels, is when you are the passenger in a car. Keep a calendar and give yourself a check mark each time you do the exercises to keep yourself motivated. If you stop doing the exercises, start again! Just remember it takes regular practice to see the results.
