About one-third of the penis is also located inside the body. There, the penis is anchored by two central muscles: the <strong>musculus ischiocavernosus<\/strong> and the <strong>musculus bulbospongiosus<\/strong>. These muscles \u2013 often referred to as \u201cpotency muscles\u201d \u2013 ensure that blood is retained in the erectile tissue. <strong>A strong pelvic floor supports a stable and longer-lasting erection,<\/strong> while weak muscles make this significantly more difficult.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8530 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/alonea.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Beckenboden-Mann-beschriftet-1.png\" alt=\"pelvic floor muscles male\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pelvic floor training for men can therefore help to <u><a href=\"https:\/\/alonea.ch\/de\/beckenbodentraining-sexualitaet\/\">increase sexual performance and desire<\/a><\/u><\/strong> \u2013 provided there are no organic causes such as vascular or nerve damage.

Here, the important <strong>sphincter muscles and the \u201cpotency muscles\u201d<\/strong> run just beneath the skin. When you <strong>contract these muscles, they shorten, thicken, and generate pressure<\/strong> \u2013 this is the exact pressure the PelvicTool measures and displays in real time. This allows the movement of the \u201cpotency muscles\u201d to be visualized and specifically trained with guidance from the app. The PelvicTool Home &amp; Sport offers <strong>varied programs<\/strong> to help users learn how to <strong>consciously activate and control the muscles in the perineal area<\/strong> \u2013 to support <strong>erectile function, bladder control, and bowel regulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Conclusion: Pelvic floor training pays off \u2013 for potency, health, and quality of life.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p id=\"fn1\">[1] Source: <a href=\"#ref1\">\u21a9 Back<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dorey G, Speakman MJ, Feneley RC, Swinkels A, Dunn CD. <u><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16104916\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pelvic floor exercises for erectile dysfunction<\/a><\/u>.
