The problem with the Kegel exercise

The error with solving premature ejaculation with the Kegel exercise is quite easy to explain. This is a technique you encounter very often on the internet, it is presented as a simple solution to premature ejaculation during sex. You will find more about fighting premature ejaculation with the Kegel exercise.

What is the Kegel exercise?

The Kegel exercise is the training of the muscle responsible for a man’s orgasm. This is the pelvic floor muscle, also called the PC muscle, or the PC flex muscle. Apart from being the muscle with which an orgasm is controlled, it is also the muscle we use to stop urinating. If you’ve ever tried to stop peeing, you’ll know which muscle I’m talking about. With this exercise you learn to control your pelvic floor muscle by training it regularly, not only to make it stronger, also to enable you to control it.

So far so good! Let’s not create any confusion about this. The Kegel exercise definitely has a positive effect on men who have difficulties postponing their orgasm. But there is just one big problem!

Why it will not solve premature ejaculation!

We need to learn to RELAX this muscle.

It’s exactly the contractions (the tensing) of this muscle at the start of orgasm that causes the expulsion of sperm. Without these contractions it’s impossible to have an orgasm. You will get control over this if you learn to control the relaxation of this muscle when you are close to orgasm. This will help you lasting longer in bed, and this will make both you and your partner more satisfied after having sex.

The Kegel exercise can be of good use, but only if you are aware of how to execute it right.
