To Kegel or not to Kegel that is the question.

Hi everyone. I have been on this forum for a bit and am finally starting my PE journey. I have started with the beginners program and wanted to focus right away on EQ. I’m starting with a measurement of BPEL 7” x MEG 4.75”. Goal is 8”x6”

My question for today has to do with the pelvic floor specifically. I am concerned that its possible that I have a Tight pelvic floor. I am not 100% positive on this just as of yet, but trying to do all the research I can right out of the gate so I can start with the correct techniques to correct it. The reason I think my pelvic floor issue is on the Tight side of things is because I am exposed to lots of stress at work and often find myself clenching my pelvic floor muscles for no reason at all during the day. I also urinate frequently and sometimes have a little leakage afterwards.

I have read that Kegels are actually not a good thing if this is your issue and can potentially make things worse.

Can a tight pelvic floor restrict blood flow causing EQ to be low?

Has anyone else had a similar issue, and what did you do to correct this besides the typical “Mind over Matter” trying to control the muscles mentally throughout the day?

Also how were you able to determine that you had a tight pelvic floor versus a loose one?

Thanks for all your help. :)

Ok so since making this post I have learned about the BC muscle. Has anyone ever had issues with the BC muscle being too tight and effecting EQ? Or is this something that just doesn’t happen? I am focusing on doing Kegels with this muscle now to see what happens.

I don’t know. I’m not even sure it can be stressed much. For me it only makes erections stronger over time, but I vaguely remember when I really pushed that very much, for short time my ejaculations were weaker (distance). It can also make erection a bit painful for short time (30-60 minutes?). But overall it’s hard to push much (at least for me), because absurd adaptation. First day I barely did 50 short squeezes, after few days I already could do 1000. And after 4-5 days I could trigger that as reflex. Basically it squeezes by itself for long time if you hold muscle specific way. Not sure if that is healthy, but it’s something possible. Moreover it has same absurd adaptation for any other type of exercise be it speed, duration, strength or something else.

Too much of the old kegels can have the opposite of the desirable effects if your pelvic floor gets out of wack. When I was playing around with reverse kegels it would take me ages to cum which was both fun and tiring all at the same time.

Both interesting points. I’m wondering if I should just start with Kegels and see if it makes my EQ go down and that should be an indicator. I do notice though I am clenching those muscles during the day sometimes for no reason at all..

I am just trying to figure out at this point why it’s so difficult to hold an erection. Basically at this point if I don’t have some sort of stimulation on the penis I lose my erection. Or sometimes I need to press my finger on the main vein on the top of it for it to be fully erect. It’s almost like something’s not stopping the blood from draining quickly from it.

Try reverse kegels when erect. Normal kegels up the erection shortly and then it drops some %.
A reverse kegel puts pressure to keep the blood inside.
You want a balanced pelvic floor.

Use your hands to push your erect dick down or to the side in different positions. Then try to pull with your pelvic floor muscles against the resistance.

Don’t use your hands to get erect. Have sexy thoughts or watch a sexy movie and wait for the erection to occur.(might take some time/days to work)

What should I be looking for when doing Kegels to signal that maybe my BC muscle is week after all. Should I notice some fatigue in the muscle right right away with a low amount of reps if the muscle is on the weaker side? How many reps of Kegels were you guys able to do without getting tired when you started?

Try kegel holds. You will tire fast. The holding time will be lower and lower.

BC and IC muscles are made to fire fast involuntarily.

Like it was already said before: Kegel exercises yield only little to no results.

Its like doing biceps curls with only 0.01lbs of weight. Someone entirely infantile to moving their arms will experience some kind of training from it, for a very short amount of time. But once you hit the 100 and 1000 range of repetitions, muscle growth and improvement will have already shrunk exponentially to zero.

The ideal number is 3x8 (=24) to a max of 3x15 (=45) for muscle growth, two times a week maybe. If you can do more than that, you just have to increase the load on the muscle, until you can do less again. Or else it will cripple any result dramatically.

I figure, you could add a load by using a penis extender. But don’t ask me if that is still supposed to have the wildly claimed benefits of Kegel exercises. Those are mostly esoteric anyway, if you ask me. I am concluding this from common sense as well as from extreme experience.
