Kegel exercises were originally designed for women. These pelvic muscle exercises help women in preventing and controlling urinary incontinence, as well as other pelvic floor problems.
There are two variations of Kegel exercises, the original Kegel exercises and reverse Kegel exercises. Each variation targets different muscles.
When it comes to improving erection quality and achieve full control over ejaculations in men, reverse Kegel’s is more appropriate than the original Kegel’s exercise. However, doing both exercises is a smart idea.
The original variation of the Kegel exercises designed for women targets the PC muscles.
On the other hand, the reverse Kegels that is appropriate for men for improving sexual performance targets the PC muscles.
Refer to the image below to be familiar where both of these muscles are located within the pelvic area in both men and women.
We are not to cover how to do Kegel exercises for women as this article will be a focus on men helping improve erection quality and overcome premature ejaculation, potentially.
If you’re a woman, stumbled upon on this page looking on how to perform Kegels, check out Mayoclinic’s guide to Kegel for women. However, performing the original Kegel exercises are pretty much the same for men and women.
Finding The BC and PC Muscles
In order to stimulate these muscles, one need to isolate them. Isolating them is not that difficult. All that is needed is practice. Below are quick guides to isolating both PC and BC muscles.
3. BC (Bulbospongiosus or Bulbocavernosus) Muscle
Among the muscle groups within the human body occupying the layer closest to the skin surface or superficial muscles of the perineum. It serves a different function in men and women.
In men, BC muscle primarily provides functions of the penis such as erection, ejaculation, and sensation of orgasm; while it provides clitoral erection and sensation of an orgasm in women, just as in men.
For the purpose visual representation of the location of the BC muscles, refer to the image provided. As presented, it is the muscle covering the bulb of the penis while it covers the vestibular bulb in women.
Furthermore, BC muscles serve 2 other purposes that are crucial for men’s health and sexual performance.
- Forces liquid such as urine or semen out of the Urethra
- Squeezes or forces blood into the corpus spongiosum up to the glans or head of the penis
I’ve done the exercises in the past. Every time I developed the most uncomfortable piles for a couple of weeks. The exercises did work in the sexual aspect, though. Am I doing something wrong here? Has someone had the same complication?
Doing this kegel exercise, I’ve had hard time finding the PC muscles, but practice makes perfect 🙂
This is a rather an embarrassing concern, but I just want to know something about Kegels. I had a previous relationship that practically lasted for more or less 9 years and he was um… well-endowed. Now, this guy I am presently dating isn’t. I can feel a big difference, and I get paranoid that maybe it does not feel as satisfying as it could for him as well. I read kegel exercises can boost the vaginal muscles, however I also review they’re done more for maternities and bladder issues. Would it be a smart idea to begin doing kegels? And is there anything else I could try?
