Wild Sex — the conversations you’re curious about, but rarely hear out loud. Dive into bold stories, intimate questions, attraction, relationships, fantasies, dating, and the unpredictable side of…
[upbeat music] Do Kegels really help to get more tight? I think this is for Dr.
Sam.
[chuckles] Um, more tight down there.
Is there such a thing as too much Kegels?
Okay.
Um, are Kegels great for making the pelvic floor tight? Absolutely.
You know, like, but I would say, um, like using it for, like for functional control as opposed to just doing it to do it, to do it just to be tight.
Because alternatively, like what you could get, making your pelvic floor so tight is then what we call hypertonic, and that is like stiffness.
And stiffness without control and being able to relax can lead to, um, uh, different complications.
So I wouldn't make the aim of Kegels to be just to be tight an- uh, of your pelvic floor.
Um, yeah, I...
so I would caution going crazy on it, but it is a very useful exercise that we use in PT all the time and prescribe for home.
Ultimately, the goal is just to build, uh, coordination and awareness with those muscles.
So I'm guessing that...
And by the way, the question is very relevant to men too, and I'll, I'll touch on that.
But I'm guessing the relevance for most women is like maybe, uh, postpartum and they're noticing that they aren't as tight down there, so they wanna make sure that things may feel better during sex or maybe have more control.
But ultimately, just building more awareness and, and coordination.
And you don't necessarily do that by always going balls to the wall, so to speak, and just lifting the heaviest weight.
Um, sometimes it's slow and steady.
Mm.
I'll touch up on the male thing 'cause we do hear a lot about Kegels being more of like premature ejaculation and, um, getting better erections, so just do 1,000 Kegels a day.
That is one of the biggest misconceptions, and if we get anything from this, from this recording, it's that, is most men, like Sam said, most men tend to be on the tighter side.
And so if you are constantly tightening with a Kegel, you need proper length and proper tension for a muscle to work well.
If you're constantly tightening, then you don't have good length.
You can't produce enough force.
