5 Signs Your Male Pelvic Floor May Be Underperforming

Blood flow matters — but erection mechanics aren't purely about getting blood into the penis.

Pelvic-floor muscles also participate in the mechanics involved in erectile rigidity. There is a muscular side to the system too.

The obvious explanation is sensitivity. So most men try slowing down, distracting themselves or numbing sensation.

Ejaculatory function also involves coordinated pelvic muscular activity. Better control isn't simply squeezing harder. It's learning when to contract — and when to relax.

This is where the connection becomes harder to ignore: the pelvic floor is directly involved in urinary control.

Erectile function, ejaculatory control and bladder control sound like completely separate frustrations. Yet pelvic-floor function is relevant to all three.

“Squeeze the muscle you'd use to stop peeing” isn't much of a training program.

There's usually no routine, no progression and no obvious way to know whether you're improving. That's why so many men try Kegels briefly and give up.

Imagine trying to build your chest by randomly tensing it whenever you remembered.

No plan. No progression. No consistency. You wouldn't call that proper training — yet that's how most men approach Kegels.
