How do kegel exercises work for men?

Hi all, I (24M) am wondering what are the best tips about kegel exercises? Also, how do you feel and know you’re training the correct muscle?

    Best tip is to not do them unless instructed to by a pelvic floor physiotherapist. Men tend to already have tight pelvic muscles, and so by performing kegels they can wind up exacerbating their issues. The pelvic floor physiotherapists I know end up seeing a fair number of men who caused their own muscle problems.

    Reverse kegels are fine though, and are actually good to perform. To do so you would seek to relax the muscles as though you’re taking a piss/shit. Learning to focus in on the pelvic muscles specifically around the genitals and ass so you can relax either is ultimately what will allow you to relax the ones you’re likely wanting to help.

    You can put some fingers on the muscles to feel the different between when you target them for relaxation versus when you don’t.

    When you stop a piss mid way, you use your Kegel muscle.

    Fun fact: If you build it up enough, you can “clamp” off your ejaculation but still orgasm, and become “multi orgamsmic” – a cool trick, but they don’t feel quite as good.

    For men it’s good to first practice with bladder control. Start by urinating and then stopping part way through, release and hold again.

    You can also tense your the muscle at the perineum. It’s easier to notice with an erection as you can move clearly see if your doing it right.

    Essentially you just kinda clench the muscle and hold for a few seconds and repeat. You’ll know it works as your perineum will tense and your penis will also move (if that makes sense).

    Yes. Download the Stamena app or The Coach (paid).

    I got a manual prostate massager and I can practice adjusting my pelvic floor between tight and loose to move the toy and stimulate. The one I have is relatively low profile as well

    So when I am doing the deed and tighten my muscles like holding a pee, I get more sensitive. What am I doing wrong?
