  5. Ive been reading about premature ejaculation and came across different views on Kegels and reverse Kegels. Some say Kegels can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and might actually make premature ejaculation worse, while others suggest that reverse Kegels, which relax the muscles, can help with PE. Which of these is true? Should I focus on Kegels or reverse Kegels to manage this?

Kegels and Reverse Kegels for Premature Ejaculation (PE)_Understanding the PC and BC muscles:_1. _PC muscle_: Pubococcygeus muscle, responsible for ejaculation and orgasm.2. _BC muscle_: Bulbocavernosus muscle, helps control ejaculation and supports the penis._Kegels vs. Reverse Kegels:_1. _Kegels_: Contracting and releasing the PC muscle can strengthen it, but may not directly help with PE. Over-toning the PC muscle might even contribute to PE.2. _Reverse Kegels_: Relaxing the BC muscle can help relax the pelvic floor, potentially delaying ejaculation and improving control._Recommendation:_1. _Try Reverse Kegels_: Focus on relaxing the BC muscle to help manage PE.2. _Combine with other techniques_: Use Reverse Kegels in conjunction with other methods, such as:- _Start-stop technique_: Stop and start sexual activity to regain control.- _Squeeze technique_: Squeeze the PC muscle to pause ejaculation.- _Breathing exercises_: Practice relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety.
