Kegels aren’t just for women—and yet, men often hear conflicting advice about whether they work, how to do them, or if they even help at all. Let’s clear the air and bust some myths with science. 🚀
❌ Myth 1: “Kegels are only for women.”
✅ Fact: Men have pelvic floor muscles too! These muscles support the bladder, bowel, and sexual function. Clinical studies confirm that pelvic floor training helps men improve urinary control and even erectile performance. 💪
❌ Myth 2: “Doing Kegels will make my penis bigger.”
✅ Fact: Kegels don’t increase penis size. What they can do is improve blood flow, erection quality, and stamina—making your performance feel stronger, even if size stays the same. 🍆⚡
❌ Myth 3: “I should squeeze as hard as possible for best results.”
✅ Fact: Over-squeezing can backfire, causing muscle fatigue or even pain. The key is gentle, controlled contractions—just like training any other muscle. Think precision, not power. 🎯
❌ Myth 4: “Kegels will fix premature ejaculation instantly.”
✅ Fact: Kegels help you gain more control, but they’re not a magic switch. Most men see improvement after 8–12 weeks of consistent practice, especially when combined with behavioral methods like edging or start-stop techniques. ⏳🔥
❌ Myth 5: “I don’t need guidance—I can just clench anytime.”
✅ Fact: Many men unknowingly flex their abs, butt, or thighs instead of the pelvic floor. Proper technique is essential. Some benefit from working with a physiotherapist or using biofeedback tools. 🧑⚕️📊
