Why does a strong pelvic floor improve sex for men?

Pelvic floor training is not only important for women – men also benefit from it. Around one third of the male sexual organ is located inside the body. At its base, the penis is surrounded and stabilised by two key muscles, the ischiocavernosus and the bulbospongiosus. These muscles play a crucial role in maintaining a firm erection by compressing the penis. This allows blood to be trapped inside, making it harder. Both muscles are connected to the pelvic floor musculature. Provided there is no damage to muscle cells, nerves, or blood vessels, pelvic floor training can therefore be particularly helpful for men who struggle to maintain an erection for long or whose erection is not firm enough for intercourse. Put simply: if a man’s pelvic floor is too weak, he will not be able to achieve a stable erection.

The Alonea PelvicTool helps you improve pelvic floor awareness, control, and strength.
