Confused about reverse kegels

When I do the reverse kegel, I’m pretty sure I’m working the right muscle, the BC, but I’m always feeling tension in my stomach whenever I do it. The reverse kegel guides I read don’t mention anything about stomach, so I assume I’m not supposed to feel stomach tension. Also, I don’t feel anything in my penis. For regular kegels, you can feel the tug when you grab your penis, but I don’t feel anything for reverse kegels. Is that normal?

There’s always at least a small bit of tension in the abdomen for me.
The point of reverse kegals is to forcibly relax the pelvic floor muscles, so naturally you won’t feel anything.

Saying that, have you tried seeing how doing a reverse kegal during a hindi squat feels?

The reverse kegel is not really engaging the BC muscle. It more like stretching the area incl. the BC.

My balls move a bit up when doing a reverse kegel. Try imagining to push a bit outwards towards your penis head.

I tried it standing up and it was easier with less stomach tension, too. I also noticed my balls move up to. I guess I’m doing it right.
