Question about kegels.

[plenty123]

From what I've read, I understand that there are front and back kegels, and the same goes for reverse kegels. In imac's thread, he explains how to practice front and back reverse kegels.

*However, I'm confused about the difference between front and back regular kegels. I thought the primary focus was the perineum, but in imac's thread, that's the focus for the back reverse kegel. So does that mean clenching that muscle only is a back regular kegel? If anyone can clarify, that'd be great.

And it is it necessary to practice both front and back?

Yes a pull in stop a fart type action for regular back kegel and a push out a fart type action for reverse kegel.

My confusion lies in the difference between a front and a back kegel. Would the perineum be flexed for both front and back kegels? Wouldn't that be the same for kegeling front and back?

From what I'm getting, a front kegel would be a stopping pee action and a back kegel would be a stopping fart action, but dosen't both end up targetting the perineum?

Thanks.

Guys feel this a bit different due to individual difference. In general however front kegel you feel at the base of and above the penis , the back kegel around the arsehole and perineum. A trick for more perineum feel would be pulling up the balls.

I do recommend doing both.

Judging by your description, I had been doing back kegels for a long time before switching to front kegels. I initially did back kegels because it simply felt a lot stronger than front kegels, so I thought that they would be more effective. I switched to front kegels recently, despite them feeling weaker and less effective and WOW, my erections are harder than ever, and my PC feels stronger than ever.

Yes as stated I recommend having both strong . If you do only front for a prolonged period you risk the back becomeing weak.
You can do kegels as a unit as well as seperately .
I also recommend if you are doing kegels you should do reverse kegels.

Here is the sort of case that can occur with isolated training if it is unbalanced.

Several autors on this site recommend addressing an existing imbalance by doing the opposite . So for instance where kegels are too strong James M suggests 100% reverse kegel routines . However these are not meant to be used permenant basis ,once balance begins to return kegels are to be added to the routine.. Likewise imac as i understand it is in the long term to achieve balance.

I'm not 100% sure how to identify an existing imbalance. I feel like my erections are not as strong as they should be, (I don't really get morning wood anymore and I'm 20), and I also think that I cum too fast while masturbating unless I pause and edge.. (don't really feel in control).

Additional info: It seems that when I'm aroused for a while, I begin to feel spasms and it can actually lead to ejaculation if I focus enough on it. And after peeing, I notice that there is always a few drips that will remain (incontinence?) But I'm good at holding in my pee for long periods, it's only after actually peeing.

*What should I focus on?

And also, I took your explaination of front/back kegels into consideration and I still feel like I'm accidently doing back kegels while attempting front ones, due to feeling the perineum area flexing. any advice?

My ultimate goal is to be able to have stronger erections and be able to control (for the most part) when I cum.
