How does Kegel exercise affect sexual function?

Effect on men

Kegel exercises can improve erection hardness, prolong ejaculation control time, and enhance sexual pleasure by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. Research has shown that pelvic floor muscle strength is directly related to ejaculation control ability, and long-term exercise can reduce the risk of premature ejaculation and even assist in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. In addition, exercise can promote prostate blood circulation and prevent related diseases.

The role of women

Pelvic floor muscle relaxation may lead to problems such as vaginal relaxation and orgasmic disorders. Kegel exercises can enhance vaginal muscle elasticity, increase sexual sensitivity, and improve tightness during sexual activity. Postpartum women can also relieve urinary leakage and restore pelvic floor function through exercise.

The synergistic effect of partners exercising together

Couples participating in Kegel training together can not only improve pelvic floor health synchronously, but also enhance intimate experiences by strengthening physical coordination. For example, there are cases showing that postpartum women can significantly improve their sexual harmony after recovering pelvic floor muscle strength through Kegel exercises. In addition, joint exercise can increase emotional interaction and alleviate psychological stress caused by physical changes.
