Premature Ejaculation Tip:
Kegel exercises for men are much more efficient when you actually know how it looks and works down there! Knowledge about the pelvic muscles will help you in your quest to cure premature ejaculation. Did you know for example, that you actually have to work mostly on a set of muscles called the BC muscles, not the PC muscles? So start doing those kegel exercises for men!
This very comprehensive article about kegel exercises for men and theanatomy of the pelvic muscles comes from our newest book on how to cure premature ejaculation in 7 steps. You can check it out following the link below. You will get a series of free videos which guide you through why men suffer from premature ejaculation and what you can do to solve it:
Now back to the PC muscles.
The PC Muscles
The PC muscles are instrumental in both delaying and controlling ejaculation. They are located in the perineum, the area between the anus and the sexual organs, starting in the region of the base of the penis and ending at the tail bone. The muscles in the perineum area coordinate excretion, urination and orgasm (And in case you’re wondering about the picture, those aren’t PC muscles, they’re abs! They just look more appealing than PC muscles).
There are actually more than just the PC muscles (Pubococcygeus) involved in this.
In our case we are actually just as interested in a set of muscles called the BC muscles (Bulbocavernosus).
The PC muscle surrounds the anus and meets up with the BC muscles which lie more towards the front. The PC muscle is more in charge of the excretion mechanism than the ejaculation mechanisms but still plays a role.
It is actually a misconception that perineal exercises for men are called PC muscle exercises. They should actually be called kegel exercises for men or more specifically in this case “BC muscle exercises”. When women strengthen the vagina they use the PC muscle to contract the vagina. This is not the case for men. The vagina is situated closer to the anus than the penis so the PC muscle directly affects the Vagina. In the case of men the penis sits slightly higher and is an external organ and in this case it is the BC muscle that contracts around the urethra. Hopefully the diagram below will demonstrate:

In the case of men the penis sits slightly higher and is an external organ and in this case it is the BC muscle that contracts around the urethra. Hopefully the diagram below will demonstrate:
As you can see from the diagram, the PC muscle is a U shaped muscle that is attached to the hip bones towards the front, so when you flex it you pull the rectum towards the front. The vagina sits neatly in the U shape of the PC muscle so it gets directly affected when you squeeze it. In the case of men the penis lies above the cross section you see in the diagram and is therefore not in the same way affected by the squeezing movement.
The PC muscle and the Iliococcygeus muscle (IC) together combine to make Levator ani muscle which is flat and sheet like in its structure. The PC and IC muscles also keep the organs in the abdomen area from sliding downwards into the perineum area. While the PC muscles are attached to the front of the hip bone the IC muscles are attached to the sides. Both PC and IC muscles attach to the tail bone in the rear. You can actually also train the IC muscles, which can pull the anus back towards the tail bone. You can feel it as a contraction in the tail bone area.
The PC and the IC muscles can move the rectum forward or backward respectively in a horizontal movement or upwards when combined with the help of the anal sphincter. The sphincter which is funnel shaped closes the anus when contracted.
The BC muscles
Now we come to the BC muscle itself, which consists of two muscles actually, one surrounds the inner base of the penis (called the bulb) and anther surrounds the urinary tract in the shaft of the penis.
The BC muscle has two main purposes. One is to force liquid (urine or semen) out of the urethra.
This is done by the part of the BC muscle surrounding the urinary tract of the urethra. The muscle is a set of fibers which are knitted together in a socalled herringbone pattern,which is a pattern used to set up tiles. If you imagine that each of the tiles is a muscle fiber you can envisage how when each fiber contracts that it creates an upward going movement. This movement causes the seminal fluid to be propelled outward and urine to get squeezed out. This movement also causes the penis to get pulled back towards the body, which is why you can see the penis move slightly upward when you for example squeeze the last drops of urine out after urinating. Locating this part of the BC muscle is as you can imagine, absolutely crucial in learning to control your ejaculation.
The other function of the BC is that it can force blood into the corpus spongiosum and the glans, which is how we get erections. The penis consists of two main caverties, which fill with blood. The corpus spongiosum, which surrounds the urethra (giving the bulby protrudence you see on an erection on the part facing outward) and corpora cavernosum which is the part of the penis facing towards the body in an erection. It is a set of muscles called the Ischiocavernous muscles which force the blood into the corpora cavernosa (not to be mistaken with the Illiococcygeus muscles in the perineal floor). As you can see in the diagram above of the cross section of the penis from the front, the ischiocavernous muscles are neatly place to the right and left of the BC muscles surrounding the urehtra.
The bulb of the penis is a reservoir of blood. When aroused voluntary or reflex contractions of the BC and Ischiocavernosus muscles force blood into the corpora. With both sets of muscles contracting on the base and legs of the penis, a full erection is achieved.

As mentioned the BC muscle can be located by stopping the flow of urine. Even if the urine does have a closing tap like mechanism below the prostate which can stop the urine flow, contracting the BC muscles will cause peristaltic like movements in the urethra which you can feel quite easily.
Overview of Pelvic Muscles
Most important for us to know when performing kegel exercises for men is that what we usually call “PC” muscles actually is a complex set of muscles which each have different functions and movements. To sum up we can say that:
1. The PC muscles contract around the anus and aid in defecation. They tend to pull the rectum towards the front. In women the PC muscles also contract the vagina.
2. The IC muscles contract around the anus and are also used in excretion. They tend to pull the rectum towards the back and are attached to the tailbone.
3. Levitor Ani are the PC and IC muscles combined which pull up the rectum (used in defecation where the upward going movement of levitor ani combined with the peristaltic movements of the sphincter muscles cause the feces to come out).
4. The BC muscles which are responsible for milking the urethra and causing the corpus spongiosum to inflate with blood
5. The Ischiocavernosus muscles, which are resonsible for causing the corpora cavernosa to inflate with blood.
There is a lot of confusion about the PC muscles and the BC muscles as they can feel like one big muscle, but with a little bit of training the differences and subtleties become quite obvious. The PC and the BC muscle are commonly referred to as the PM muscles (Pelvic Muscles) so when I write PM muscle I actually refer to a combination of the PC and the BC muscles.
Emergency Stopping
The PM muscles can be used as an emergency way to stop an ejaculation but I would not recommend that you go so far as to use this method. It is much better to know where you are in your arousal curve than suddenly and desperately having to use the PM muscles to stop an ejaculation, which has started and where the muscular contractions already are taking place.
When making love it is of utmost importance to keep the PM muscles relaxed! Flexing them while making love is a big mistake, which will bring on the ejaculation faster. I made this mistake for years before finally finding out that one actually should relax the PM muscles instead, so I speak from bitter experience.

Kegel Exercises For Men in general
It is good to have strong PM muscles. They give you a stronger erection (remember that part of the BC muscles responsibility is pumping blood into the corpus spongeum) and will make your orgasms stronger. Strong PM muscles also give you a much better sexual control and will help to stop an ejaculation if you should be so unlucky as to cross over the point of no return.
As I mentioned you can identify the BC muscles by urinating. The BC muscle is also responsible for your ability of flexing the penis up and down, which is easy to see when you have an erection. If you cannot flex this muscle 25 times in a row or keep it flexed for 25 seconds non-stop then it could do with a litte bit of training!
Kegel Exercises For Men Will Tune the Pelvic Muscles
Our PM muscles are unfortunately not very well tuned. I don’t remember anyone ever telling me as a child that it was good to train these muscles. There are many different ways to train the PC and BC muscles and you can even design your own routine. They are often called Kegel exercises due to the man who invented these exercises. The most important aspect of kegel exercises is flexing the PM muscles and relaxing them, exactly like when you are training other muscles. They need to be flexed and then relaxed.
If you still cannot discern between the movement of the BC vs the PC muscle you can think of the flexing of the BC muscle as something that happens towards the front and the flexing of the PC muscle as something that happens towards the back. As the BC muscles actually are on both sides of the urethra it actually does feel like bringing two sets of muscles together. Flexing the PC muscle feels like you are closing in around something while pulling upward.
Training both the BC and PC muscles is good for premature ejaculation. The flexing of the BC muscles helps you to gain awareness of the whole process of ejaculation and the flexing of the PC muscles strengthens the whole area and is also very good at awakening the earth center known as “the earth chakra or Muladhara chakra in Sanskrit. (Read our previous articles about the chakras and coming posts with Kegel Exercises for Men).
