What are Kegels?  How do I do them?  What will they do for me?

Kegel exercises (named for the late, great Dr. Arnold Kegel) are flexes you do with your PC muscle  (Pubococcygeus for you Latin lovers out there).

The exercise has a history that goes way, way back…all the way to early Taoist culture in China.  Taoist men would practice kegels to improve spiritual life–through improvement of physical life. (Think of the Tantric movement, and the idea that better sex leads to a better spirit…but this is a different culture all together.

They saw that doing Kegels would:

• Promote better health
• encourage spiritual development
• lead to better sex and longevity

So what are Kegels, and how do you do them?

To locate the PC muscle just hold your bladder.  The same muscle we use to hold in pee is the one to use to control semen flow.  By clenching and unclenching this muscle (I recommend roughly 100 times per day, leaving yourself rest days) you can significantly strengthen it, and acheive orgasm control like you never dreamed possible before.

How do you think the guys in the pornos do it?

Doing Kegels will help you:

• Maintain erection and ejaculation control
• increase your blood flow to your penis
• keep you prostate healthy into old age
• prevent incontinence

Here’s a quote from the Size Genetics blog to bring it home:

“The main benefit men get out of exercising their PC muscle is the vastly increased control over ejaculation. A well-toned PC muscle can stop the flow of urine, but it can also stop the flow of semen. Therefore, exercises help men gain control over the ejaculation, especially to those who suffer from premature ejaculation.”

And What herbs can you take that will work in combination wtih Kegels for a healthier sex organ?  Here’s what Dr. Mitchell McNiff, M.D. Had to say:

“Healing herbs to counteract the stress of overusing the PC muscles include notable herbs like evening primrose, damiana, saw palmetto, cistanche, and nettle.

Nettle and saw palmetto regulate DHT conversion and reduces the build up of this potentially toxic ingredient. Damiana and cistanche are for prostate gland health and evening primrose reinforces the PNS to delay orgasm. If the prostate gland enlarges, try taking wild yam or cornus. These healing herbs can combat the damage you might have done to yourself because of abuse to your PC muscles.”
