What is the
Kegel Exercise?
The Kegel Exercise (also referred to as the Pelvic Floor Exercise)
is the repetitive contraction of the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles.
If you’ve ever stopped yourself from urinating midstream,
then you’ve used your PC muscles. If you flex your PC muscles
and hold it for 10 seconds through a series of reps then you are
partaking in the Kegel exercise. Originally used for women to control
incontinence (the urge to urinate all the time) and to enhance sexual
responses during intercourse, the Kegel Exercise is now also being
used by men.

The
Kegel Exercise builds up the PC muscles, which will help men
improve:
• Ejaculation Control
• Prostate Health
• Erection Firmness
• Arousal Control
• Ejaculation Strength
• Bladder Control |
The Kegel Exercise: Muscle or Hustle?
Many magazines and websites swear by the Kegel exercise. After
all, it’s a simple task that is easy to learn and doesn’t
take long to get through the reps each day. In fact, most men can
master this exercise after just the third or fourth time. Because
of these reasons, the Kegel exercise is widespread throughout the
sex industry.
| “Many
readers gloss over this warning” |
However, most of these magazines and websites contain a disclaimer
(or at least they should) – usually in very small type –
stating not to overuse the Kegel exercise. Unfortunately, many readers
gloss over this warning, and the hype on the Kegel ends up being
more damaging than helpful. The exercise can cause premature ejaculation
for some men, as well as other sexual problems.
The Kegel exercise has been shown to have vast improvements on
the penis. But in excess, the exercise can also be very harmful.
The reason is contraction of the prostate muscle triggers the prostate's
sympathetic nerve to induce an ejaculation. While men tend to contract
the PC muscle to assist the erection if they feel their erection
is not hard enough, a long-term practice of this exercise will make
the muscle develop more testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT),
and oxytocin receptors. These hormone receptors make men and women
achieve an orgasm quicker and more easily, due to the presence of
more hormones trapped in the sex organs. This is just fine and dandy
for women who have difficulty achieving orgasm, as some do. The
Kegel Exercise was originally intended for women with such problems.
But for men, reaching an orgasm this quickly could be the end of
their sex drive. Eventually, this problem will become the norm and
that is when the diagnosis results in premature ejaculation. Simply
put, doing PC exercises will make you secrete pre-come quicker and
stimulate your urethra, lubricating it for ejaculation and manipulating
you into ejaculating prematurely.
It’s Fallen and I Can’t
Get it Up!
Some men have been practicing Kegel safely for a longtime, but
others recklessly practice Kegel before reading about the damage
that could come in time. It is similar to smoking; at one point
nobody thought it was bad for you. Once they figured out it was
extremely unhealthy, they put warnings on the packages of cigarettes.
People continued to smoke away because if it was that bad for you
it would have been banned. Make no mistake. Kegel exercises are
different than tobacco in the sense they can be good for you in
limited use. But most people just don’t understand how harmful
the exercises can be.
| “From
a harmless aid to a detrimental condition” |
Many websites and magazines that showcase the Kegel exercise also
claim that performing intense Kegel exercises right after ejaculation
(when your PC muscles are tired) will dramatically strengthen and
tone your PC muscles in record time. If you’ve been holding
back your ejaculation using the Kegel method during sex and then
you used the exercise right after, then you will in turn be doubling
up on your Kegel exercise. This is how a simple technique like Kegel
can go from a harmless aid to a detrimental condition in no time
at all. And that brief exercise right after intercourse can bring
you from a moderate level all the way to abuse.

Many men have damaged their equipment
through Kegel and they have no idea how to overcome the sexual
dysfunctions like premature ejaculation. In order to power up
your penis and get back to a normal, healthy ejaculation, it
requires action from the parasympathetic nerves with the assistance
of natural herbs to replenish the body’s drained sexual
system. Unfortunately, more Kegel exercises won’t help
you with that. |
