This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Also, men should do kegel exercises too.

It helps increase erection strength and even size due to increased blood flow, can help with premature ejaculation, and can improve prostate health.

Someone has already said that it's the muscle you use to stop peeing midstream, but I wanted to add a few other points:

  • Once you've identified the muscle, you shouldn't do kegels while peeing, because this can lead to UTIs and an unhappy bladder

  • When you do kegels, you should try to only engage your pelvic floor muscles; try to avoid engaging other muscles in your thighs, buttocks or abdomen. Isolating your pelvic floor muscles can be tricky at first, but it gets easier

  • As well as improving aspects of sexual function, kegels also help with incontinence. If you practice them now, you'll be thankful for it as you age

Thank you for this wonderful advice. I shall attempt to practice it.

You know how you stop peeing mid pee? That's how. Clench. Hold it for a count of 10. Release and repeat. Do it in the morning and evening to start.
