The pubococcygeal (PC) muscles are the source of your sexual power, and it is very valuable to exercise them regularly. Women who have children usually learn how to do “Kegel” exercises to strengthen their vaginal muscles, but most men are either unfamiliar with this practice or mistakenly believe it is for women only; a student in one of our classes once asked, “do men have those muscles too?” They certainly do, and exercising the PC muscles has important health benefits for both sexes. It can also add some new dimensions to your sexual experiences.
These muscles comprise the pelvic floor, running from the pubic bone to the coccyx or tailbone. The easiest way to locate them and learn to exercise them is to drink a couple of large glasses of water, and then stop the flow of urine several times as you empty your bladder.
By exercising and gaining voluntary control over the PC muscles, men can enhance their ability to regulate and intensify ejaculations, strengthen their erections, and possibly enhance prostate health. Similarly women can become more sexually responsive, more orgasmic, increase their potential to experience G spot orgasm and maintain urogenital health as they get older.
Once you have learned how to pulse the muscles, you should make exercising them a part of your daily routine. You won’t regret it. The challenge is remembering to work them, so you need to find something to use as a trigger -- whether it’s waiting in line at the bank, riding the subway, sitting in a boring meeting, or listening to music, no one needs to know why you are smiling. To exercise the full range of motion, you should squeeze, release and bear down slightly before squeezing again. As you become more skilled, you can isolate different regions of the PC muscles and work them independently, which is a lot of fun. You can also develop the ability to relax the muscles, and this will help you delay ejaculation, since the ejaculatory response is a repeated release of tension.
One delightful little technique you can use during intercourse is known as “the Secret Language.” This involves pulsing back and forth with your partner while otherwise remaining motionless. You can intersperse the Secret Language with more vigorous, conventional lovemaking. It’s a great way to develop a more subtle and varied sexual repertoire and to discover new dimensions of erotic pleasure. We have a hunch your partner will enjoy it too.
