One of the most difficult things about determining a course of treatment for premature ejaculation is figuring out which things don’t work, so that you don’t waste a lot of time and money on ineffective cures.  (Like I did.)  In reality, if you take a little time and do some research, you can eliminate a number of different supposed remedies, and get right down to the business of how to stop your PE once and for all.

One of the most commonly suggested treatments that doesn’t work is the Kegel Exercise.  Kegel Exercises were developed by Dr. Arnold Kegel, a gynecologist, and were intended to help women prepare their bodies for what was going to happen during the later stages of pregnancy, and during childbirth.  Later these exercises were also prescribed to treat incontinence, (note – incontinence is the inability to keep from urinating), as well as treating constipation.  Truly a “jack of all trades” kind of exercise!

It was discovered that these exercises prevented vaginal and uterine prolapse in women, as well as tightening the vagina, which often made sex more pleasurable.  And while these exercises were never intended for men, men were not about to be left out, and somewhere along the line it was decided if it was good for women it must be good for men as well.  Since these exercises strengthened the muscles involved in ejaculation, it stood to reason that there could be a benefit to men in terms of ejaculatory control.

Unfortunately, the opposite usually turns out to be true.  Most men who do Kegel exercises actually get worse in terms of controlling the length of time they are able to have intercourse before climax.  This is due to the fact that Kegel exercises often put the pelvic muscle group into a state of hyperspasticity, a condition where they are tensed or contracted all the time.  These are indeed the muscles that are directly involved in orgasm, and the contraction of these muscles actually speeds climax.

So men everywhere are buying into the lie that Kegel exercises will help cure premature ejaculation and they spends days, weeks, and months squeezing, squeezing, squeezing…only to find they have less and less control.  Sad but true.

Frankly, even though they won’t help, there’s no harm in doing Kegel exercises if you do them exactly correctly.  The correct technique for Kegels involves clenching the muscle and holding it, then completely relaxing it before clenching it again for the next repetition.  If a person does this exactly right, the muscle will not be conditioned to be in a state of constant tension.

Unfortunately, most people do not relax the muscle completely before clenching again.  They relax part way, the muscle begins to relax, but then they clench again for the next rep before it relaxes all the way, because you know how we are – we want to get busy and get done!  It takes too much time to allow the muscle to completely relax between each rep.  And because people are in too much of a hurry to get on with it and get done, they train the PC muscles to be in a state of heightened tension all the time, and the problem actually becomes worse.

If you’d like to do Kegels, there’s no harm in it if you do it right.  Just understand that there’s no real help for your PE in it either.  There’s certainly a lot of hype on the Internet about how much they’ll help.  Sadly, it’s exactly that: hype.  There are real cures available – don’t waste your time on things that don’t work.

All the best,
