Kegel exercises benefits sexually male

Remember this pearl of wisdom: It’s not good advice to tell someone to do hundreds of Kegels a day for a “tight” vagina.

We don’t want a tight vagina.

Kegel exercises for men

We want a strong, functional pelvic floor that can contract and release fully.

Think of the shape of a bell curve. We need to see a full and symmetrical contraction and relaxation.

We don’t do hundreds of bicep curls every day and not have a rest period, right?

We train the bicep in a functional way with proper stretching and release strategies. It’s the same idea for the pelvic floor.

Think of sets of strengthening with rest phases, days off, and then return to training.

So just like anything — all good things in moderation. Strength is definitely important, and Kegels are important. Yet, we don’t want to do them all the time. Give the vag a break, she works hard and deserves some good R&R.
