    Tom De Backer
    Top Answerer
    Kegel exercises give you a slight amount of additional control over your pelvic muscles. But when the time comes to ejaculate, nothing can stop it. This does indeed mean you can somewhat delay your ejaculation, but not for hours. Ejaculation is the result of a complex and intricate interplay of dozens of hormones, stimulation, mindset, etc. Muscle control is just one of those factors.

  • Question
    How do I reduce the buttocks using floor exercises?
    Tom De Backer
    Tom De Backer
    Top Answerer
    It is not possible to tell your body where you want it to remove fat; for example, doing push-ups does not reduce only arm fat. If you take in more calories than you burn, the body stores this energy as fat, usually first around the abdomen, then also waist, legs, arms, neck, chin, etc. If you burn more calories, the body will convert this fat back to energy, usually from all reserves more or less simultaneously, with the abdomen coming last. So, to reduce the buttocks, do cardio, eat well, sleep well, drink lots of water, burn more calories than you take in.

    Tom De Backer
    Top Answerer
    Breathing is semi-automatic, so if we don't do it consciously, our body does it for us. Try doing Kegels to music, to the beat of Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees, for example. Contract, relax, contract, relax, to the beat. Next, add in your breathing. In, contract, relax, out, contract, relax, in...

  • Question
    When I perform Kegel exercises, is it normal for me to experience semen leakage?
    Landise Yongama
    Landise Yongama
    Community Answer
    It is not uncommon for semen or pre-ejaculate to leak during Kegel exercises, especially if you are new to them or performing them intensely. This can happen because Kegels engage muscles around the prostate and urethra, which may cause fluid release. Unless you are experiencing discomfort, pain, or other issues, this is typically not a cause for concern.

    Community Answer
    Kegel exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which play a role in bladder control. However, if you experience painful urination or discomfort during anal sex despite having an empty bladder, it's important to consult a healthcare professional. Pelvic floor exercises may provide some relief, but the underlying cause of the pain could be something that requires a tailored treatment approach, such as addressing any pelvic tension, infections, or nerve involvement.

Always consult a healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.
