My flexibility is awful,
The thing with postural issues is some muscles are particularly out of order and training needs to be designed around that fact. But when body is in lack of general mobility, you don't have to be worried about those stuff, just increase training and decrease continuous sitting.
The problem is when I try to do core workouts my hip flexors, specifically the TFL, do all the workJeff Cavalier has some really amazing points on how to prevent hip flexors out of the equation in ab workouts. Watch him on Youtube about ab workouts, you learn a lot.
A stomach bulge and tailbone sticking out yes can be a sign of APT, but the degree that yours is doesn’t show that. A bit of a pelvic tilt is normal. I’m just not seeing APT in you

With all this being said and being in your situation on lockdown, my recommendation is getting a yoga mat and going on youtube and doing an online yoga class, pilates, core workouts, etc. Try to take random walking breaks throughout the day if you're sitting for too long
And then once lockdown is over (which hopefully should be soon) develop a solid gym routine, get a good diet, maybe attend some yoga, martial arts, pilates classes throughout the week. Throw some cardio in there. Then obviously maintain great posture throughout all of this as an add-on. I guess you could edge too and learn how to relax that pf during it.
I promise you will see great improvements with your lasting time with these changes

Alright, appreciate the feedback. I'll put more of a focus on my general mobility, definitely need to work on ankles and hips in that regard. As well as strengthening my glutes, hips, and core.
I watched this video which helped me to understand further what area of hip mobility I needed to work on. Like the guy in the video my external rotation is lacking in strength, so I will look for a few exercises I can do to strength that. While my hip internal rotation strength is quite strong.
And then once lockdown is over (which hopefully should be soon)
I am really interested to see how is that possible, as in ab workouts rectus femoris and psoas are the ones who can intervene. TFL really is not designed or even able to do that type of work https://e5v4d7a2.stackpathcdn.com/fo...es/biggrin.png Jeff Cavalier has some really amazing points on how to prevent hip flexors out of the equation in ab workouts. Watch him on Youtube about ab workouts, you learn a lot.
I'll get a routine together in the coming days and post it here for feedback. Gonna just work on clams, 90/90 hip lifts, hip bridges and generally walking more but its going to be really fucking cold till the friday though so that might be tough. I'll add in some planks with my feet pressed against the wall, I tried this and can really feel the engagement in my lower abs this way, and a couple more of the exercises outlined in this video. I will still need to do something about my rounded shoulders, any suggestions for that? I have a feeling strengthening my hips and core will have the added result of fixing those.
I am moving on Friday so after that I will get a real routine prepared and post it here for feedback.

Awesome!
For rounded shoulders I’d work on your upper back. Bunch of exercises available online that’ll teach you how to target your upper back area. Your case isn’t too bad so you can probably fix it pretty easily.
I think other than that you’ve got a solid foundation to go off of. Build a routine, post it here, and then go hard. I like to eat a high protein diet as well. Just a recommendation
Again, I really recommend Pilates and yoga at least once a week. You should really look into that as they’re very easy to do in a house and you’d benefit a lot from them. I’ve done some Pilates classes that have destroyed my core and it was great. You can google all the benefits of it for your psoas!

From March till June my wife was laid off and we both started doing pilates, I felt like I wasn't doing many of the exercises properly however so I wanted to build a better foundation first. Then I got lazy over the summer till about a month ago.
Definitely will look into joining a class with her once the lockdown ends.
Just had sex, lasted at least 5 minutes maybe closer to 10, hard to know since I wasn't looking at the clock. I was on top the entire time so its huge progress already. I didn't even take my dick out once the whole time either. Midway through she pushed her pelvis downwards, towards the bed, which caused me to compensate by arching my back and I immediately felt I was getting too close to the edge. I put a pillow under her butt and then continued for a few more minutes till she asked me to be rough, by that point I was probably already at a 8/10, so that pushed me over the edge. I let myself enjoy it though since I felt it was already a success.
Throughout the day I did a bunch of hip mobility exercises which definitely helped. Last night also got a BJ for a few minutes and wasn't even close to cumming. She finished it with a HJ which still took a few minutes of intense action. Only finished because she was getting tired.
That makes 3 times in a row with no issues. This shit is definitely caused by a lack of hip mobility for me and probably the vast majority of people. Going to keep working on it and I am sure in a couple of months I will be able to consider myself cured. Going to get her to join me in these workout as well since I think she could use it too and it would allow her to enjoy sex more too. My goal at this point is to be able to last as long as I want everytime regardless of the intensity.
As I said though, I've been on this journey for about a month already. So don't think my progress has been so quick, literally struggled with no progress from october till the beginning of January.

You’ll definitely be able to last as long as you want in no time. With no significant posture issues, it’s all easy stuff from here.
Hip mobility is key for the pelvic floor! Same with glutes!

Sergeantsuper, Contractulation! You are the fastest guy who got the fastest success I ever know! Propaply fastest to be cured in this forum! Good job!
Sure I can find hip mobility videos from youtube but could you share your hip mobility routine? I want to know your way of doing things. Thanks!
If I understood correctly from sky and anthony: stretch and workout your muscle if you have muscle imbalance/bad posture. Stretch your hip muscles if your already have good posture. This theory have a very good logic comparing to others.5/2019 Start: 5,2" NBPEL X 4,35" MEG
10/2019 Bundled stretch: 5,6" NBPEL X 4,35"MEG
10/2019 - 2/2020 Girth Exersices: on/off and no gains
7/2020 Erect stretch: 6,25" NBPEL X 4,35" MEG
Short term goal: 7" NBPEL X 5,5" MEG
Long term goal: 8" NBPEL X 6,2" MEG

Really great to see you progress and tackle this early on. I was in your position 5 years ago (lasting 1 to 5 minutes) and I didn't address it then. Then a nasty break up led me to further my bad habbits (posture and poor masturbation habbits) and now I can barely last 1 second. Now i'm fighting to get back to where I was 5 years ago... So congrats on tackling this early and with the knowledge here and some persistence you will have much better control!

Hey guys, got busy and forgot about this for a while.
Definitely feels like my issue is mostly cured at this point. Have had sex multiple times and always lasted a reasonable amount of time. Right after moving, which required me to bend over and lift a bunch of heavy boxes and furniture I felt a bunch of tightness in my lower back which limited my hip mobility, we had sex and I lasted maybe 90secs and that was with really trying to keep my pelvic floor relaxed and hips forward.
Sure I can find hip mobility videos from youtube but could you share your hip mobility routine? I want to know your way of doing things. Thanks!
Also curious about this.
