Kegels

So I’m pretty weak down there, I guess. It’s hard for me to hold it for even 3 seconds. Instead of doing the newbie routine and doing 50 for 5 seconds, is it just as beneficial to just flex it a ton of times throughout the day? I’ve been trying that, and it’s getting better. Sometimes, trying to hold the squeeze too long actually makes me feel a little bit nauseous. I wonder if anyone has ever had this problem before. Well, I guess I’ll go search “kegel, nauseous” in the search bar! The position which makes me feels nauseous is when I’m sitting straight up, with the angle of my body and legs being somewhat acute.

I’ve also read that doing kegels should not be done erect. I find it very hard to do a kegel in the totally flaccid state, and by the time I’m done doing a series I end up getting erect anyway.

It’s also more difficult to kegel in certain positions. Does this get easier to do from any position after a while?

I have had that although for me it simply meant holding until muscle failure = nausea. Back in the day my kegels were done while I commuted.

The bulbococcegeus (BC) which you are exercising when you kegel is a muscle. If you haven’t used it much before, it may take a week or more to build up the neuromuscular pathways to allow a good contraction.

You can kegel throughout the day until you get a bit of strength and build the NM pathways, but then you are better doing them in one session. Be aware that like any muscle you can tire the BC out which will make it hard to get erections. Take it easy and build it up slowly.

I thought it was the Bulbocavernosus muscle?

Anyway, here’s something I did so strengthen up my BC muscle but I’m not sure what other senior members or mods will make of this. I felt my BC was very weak and non responsive to start with as well.

In the Newbie Routine it says to do 50 kegels a day, which I did for a long time when I started PE. Then I realised that because the BC is a muscle, then maybe I could take a weightlifting approach to training it. Don’t worry, it’s a totally natural routine, no steroids or creatine involved. I know Mr Happy isn’t a fan of building this muscle instead of toning it as he says in the thread about creatine and kegeling.

So I decided to start a routine that would build my BC muscle to a certain size and then turn it into a toning session from there. So here’s how it went. Instead of just doing 50 kegels of the same time holds every day, I decided to take the Sets/Reps approach and I think it worked well for me.

Maybe you could try this as well and see how it works for you once you’ve got the BC fired up. If you want to know what my routine was, well here it is;

20 Kegels - 5 second holds, 15 Kegels - 10 second holds, 10 Kegels - 15 second holds. Every day for the first week.

20 Kegels - 10 second holds, 15 Kegels - 15 second holds, 10 Kegels - 20 second holds. Every day for the second week.

20 Kegels - 15 second holds, 15 Kegels - 20 second holds, 10 Kegels - 25 second holds. Everyday for the third week.

20 Kegels - 20 second holds, 15 Kegels - 25 second holds, 10 Kegels - 30 second holds. Everyday for the fourth week, and so on.

I’m sure you get the picture. Stay safe, and happy PEing.

Anatomists tend to name body parts by their origins and terminations. Thus the pubococcygeus muscle (PC) is found attached to the pubis and the coccyx. The muscle that surrounds the bulb of the penis and corpus spongiosum is more properly called the bulbospongiosus because it covers those two parts of the penis. It was originally called the bulbocavernosus apparently because some parts of it also touch the corpora cavernosa. I used BC instead of BS when I wrote my anatomy thread because it rhymed with PC which is the muscle usually associated with Dr. Kegel’s exercise.

Sorry; that’s what happens when I post before my first cup of tea in the morning!

No it’s not you, I took the spelling from the word that comes up when you hover your mouse over the letters BC, if it’s wrong it should be changed.
