Kegel Exercises for Men
If you've read the chapter on the female body, you already have an introduction to Kegel exercises. Women aren't the only ones who benefit from using their PC (pubococcygeus) muscles. In fact, PC muscles are just as useful for men. They hold up the pelvic floor, hold the internal organs in the body, and generally help counteract the downward gravitational pull. Having strong PC muscles aids in stronger erections that last longer and increases libido. Kegel exercises also help massage the prostate gland.
PC muscles must be relaxed in order to urinate. They can be tightened to prevent ejaculation from occurring (although that's not necessarily the best method), and they can and should be strengthened. You can test your PC muscles by trying to use them to lift the erect penis. The higher you're able to lift your erection, the stronger your PC muscles actually are. You will notice that you can “lift” your erection a little higher when you squeeze.
The angle of the penis at the time of erection varies from man to man. Younger men tend to have angles that point upward. As men age, they tend to lose the upward swoop. This angle directly affects the stimulation of the G-spot in the woman during intercourse. Kegel exercises can strengthen the muscles that control this arc.
You can use the same Kegel exercises described in Chapter 5. A recap: first get the feeling of tightening your PC muscles by stopped your stream in mid-urination. Once you know how to squeeze these muscles, you can strengthen by repeatedly squeezing them (say, in sets of 10 or 20 reps) several times a day.
Once you feel your muscles are strengthened, you can further exercise them by using a wet washcloth or a sock draped over your erection. Lift it up and down as you are tightening and relaxing.
