As they say “practice makes perfect” and in the case of penis health, having sex is a good way to exercise your penis. Similarly to sports or playing an instrument the more you use your penis, the better you will be at controlling it. Having sex is also good for overall health throughout your body. Of course just as in sports there are exercises that you can do to strengthen your penis during the off season so to speak.

The most common is known as the “Kegel exercise”. This exercises consist of the regular contracting and non-contracting of the pubococcygeal muscles (PC muscles) also sometimes called the “Kegel muscles”). PC muscles originate from your pubic bone, go under your genitals and attach to your tailbone.

To isolate the PC muscles or the PC muscles clench the muscles around your anal sphincter, the same muscles that you would use to stop the flow of urine mid-stream. Practice contracting these muscles by imagining that you are pulling a marble up your rectum and holding it for a few seconds at a time (remember, just imagine, no marble is actually required).

If you are doing the Kegel exercises properly you should feel your pelvic floor pulling upwards into the body. Over time men should notice an improvement in the rigidity of erections and intensity of ejaculations. Kegel exercises are also useful for guys who experience premature ejaculation.

Keep in mind, the penis it self is not a muscle, however increased strengthen of the PC muscles will improve blood supply to the penis resulting in firmer erections and will also help a man control ejaculation.

Like any other muscle in your body, use it or lose it.
