Encyclopedia > Kegel exercisers

A Kegel exercise, named after Dr. Arnold Kegel, is an exercise designed to strengthen thepubococcygeus muscles. The exercises consist of the regular clenching and unclenching of these muscles, which are sometimes called the "Kegel muscles", and form part of the pelvic floor.

Explanation

The aim of Kegel exercises is to restore muscle tone and strength to the pubococcygeus muscles in order to prevent or reduce pelvic floor problems and to increase sexual gratification. Kegel exercises are said to be good for treating vaginal prolapse [1] and preventing uterine prolapse in women [2].

Kegel exercises may be beneficial in treating urinary incontinence in both men and women [3]. Kegel exercises are also known as pelvic floor exercises, or simply Kegels.

Although Dr. Arnold Kegel has contemporized and popularized this practice, it is by no means new. The Taoists of ancient China developed a number of different sexual practices to strengthen and tone these same muscles for health, longevity, sexual gratification, and spiritual development. Directly akin to the Kegel exercise is the Taoist practice of the Deer Exercise.

Benefits for women

Factors such as pregnancy, childbirth and being overweight often result in the weakening of pelvic muscles. Kegel exercises are useful in regaining pelvic floor muscle strength in such cases. Regular Kegel exercise can also increase sexual pleasure for females and their partners. Afterchildbirth, practicing pelvic floor contractions during sexual intercourse with a male partner will allow the woman immediate feedback from her partner, who can tell her whether or not he can feel her muscles tightening around his penis. In this manner, a newly postpartum woman can retrain her pelvic floor muscles to their pre-pregnancy strength and tone

Benefits for men

Men can also use Kegel exercises. They are used to strengthen the pubococcygeal muscle, which may allow them to achieve orgasm without ejaculation and perhaps reach multiple climaxes during sexual activity [4]. In men this exercise lifts up the testicles, also strengthening the cremaster muscle as well as the anal sphincter, as the anus is the area contracted when a Kegel is done. While women are able to add resistance to the exercise through isometrically gripping a hard object, or by compressing an object such as foam or a penis, there are no known techniques that would add resistance to male Kegel exercises. Some believe draping a towel over the shaft and lifting it does this, but any force possibly applied to the muscle in this way would be limited to the biological heritability of the penis' shaft to stay erect and resist bending, in a combination of blood flow ('hardness'), genetic construction, and tissue integrity. No serious scientific studies have been done into the 'bodybuilding' and strength-building of the member through this method, although a niche market definitely exists in the realm of penis enlargement, and various urban legends abound for (with groups dedicated to the propagation of) methods of strengthening and enlarging the penis through various methods of exercise and resistance.

Potential concerns

The pubococcygeal muscles are those used to stop the flow of urine during urination, and they may be easily identified in this way. However, after the muscle has been identified, practicing Kegel exercises during urination is not recommended, as this could lead to a urinary tract infection.

A 42-year-old Russian woman, Tatiata Kozhevnikova, claims to have the worlds strongestvag.

The athletic Russian blond beauty, Tatiata Kozhevnikova has been training her private parts for some 15 years. The confident Tatiata Kozhevnikova has even lifted some 14 kilograms worth of weights– almost 31 pounds– to prove it.

From Novosibirsk, Russiam, Tatiata Kozhevnikova has been exercising her intimate muscles on a daily basis and has even made her way into the Guinness Book of Records as the possessor of the world’s strongest vagina, Tatiata Kozhevnikova told Life.ru

After having children Tatiata Kozhevnikova began working on her strength after realizing her muscles were beginning to weaken. Tatiata Kozhevnikova said she began reading up on the ancient art of Dao.

After reading several books Russian mother Tatiata Kozhevnikova said she never looked back.

“After I had a child, my intimate muscles got unbelievably weak. I read books on Dao and learned that ancient women used to deal with this problem using wooden balls,” TatiataKozhevnikova said. “I looked around, saw a Murano glass ball and inserted it in my vagina.”

"You insert one of the balls in your vagina, and it has a string attached to it with a little hook at the very end. You fix a second ball onto this hook,” Tatiata Kozhevnikova added.

A few fitness workouts with a glass ball a day is the way to go says Russian TatiataKozhevnikova

According to the Russian language web site, Tatiata Koxhevnikova recommends all women should take up her ball busting technique.

"It’s enough to exercise your vagina five minutes a day, ladies, and in just one week you’ll be able to give yourself and your man unforgettable pleasure in bed,” Tatiata Kozhevnikovasays.
