MALE PELVIC FITNESS: OPTIMIZING SEXUAL & URINARY HEALTH unveils the largely unrecognized and little known powers of the mysterious male pelvic floor muscles and how to harness their potential.

The pelvic floor muscles are “hidden jewels” of the pelvis that are a vital partner to the male sexual organs. Their collaboration is an absolute must for optimal sexual functioning, similar to the relationship between the diaphragm muscle and the lungs. Although concealed from view, they are responsible for some powerful effects, particularly so when intensified by training. Exercises to achieve a conditioned pelvic floor, particularly when applied against the force of resistance, are capable of enhancing sexual function as much as general fitness training can enhance athletic performance and endurance. A pelvic floor muscle-training regimen—as with any good fitness program—can impart better performance, increased strength (rigidity), improved endurance and stamina (ejaculatory control), and decreased recovery time (the amount of time it takes to achieve another erection).

Conferring advantages that go way beyond sexuality, these often-neglected muscles are also vital to male pelvic health and serve an essential role in urinary function, bowel function and prostate health. A trained and fit pelvic floor will be helpful in improving as well as preventing the following: erection problems; ejaculation and orgasm issues; urinary leakage that follows prostate surgery; overactive bladder; urinary dribbling; pelvic pain due to muscle spasm; bowel urgency and leakage; and pelvic impairments due to bicycling, motorcycling and horseback riding. Virtually everybody is capable of achieving pelvic fitness through pelvic floor muscle training and reaping the rewards and benefits that result.
