[IfTheresAWillTheresAWay]

I've been practicing RKs for a bout 2 weeks now. Most of my practice sessions occur while lying down on my back, though I will occasionally push out an RK throughout the day as I'm walking around. When lying down, I can't do an RK without tensing up my abs and stopping my breathing: it feels very much like doing a plank/bridge at the gym. I thought that a couple weeks of practice might allow me to separate those muscles from one another, but no dice so far. Also, I feel like I can do two different types of RKs, especially while seated or standing. With one of them, I feel my abs pushing forward. With the other, I feel my anus pushing out. However, when lying down, I can't separate the two as easily, if at all.

Also, whenever doing repeated RKs while lying down, I end up pushing a bit of urine out...

Something tells me I ain't doing this right...

If you're pushing urine out then you're pushing too hard. Start off pushing lightly, It's not a strengthening exercise.

It must definitely feel like you have to urinate (especially when your bladder is full) and push out feces. Thats why I always urinate BEFORE my kegel workout. I suggest you do the same. That way you can do them as hard and long as you want.

Imac, I'll let you know how my edging session goes tonight after I try to push more lightly. I usually do it lying down. Do you recommend a different position? Sitting? Standing?

Adiavroxos, I usually DO urinate before starting my workouts... which might be a testament to how hard I'm pushing since I'm still squeezing out urine on an almost empty bladder. Also, I have to hold my breath when I do it, which makes me believe I'm not doing it right. After all, RKs are supposed to relax the muscles, specifically the BC, but I feel like it tenses up the rest of my body!

It's important to breath while you do them and stay relaxed don't strain yourself. You wont be doing yourself any favours by creating more tension in your body.
When I RK it's with light to medium pressure that's all you need. I never strain myself by pushing hard.

I feel like I can do a light RK while walking around, but once I'm on my back practicing edging, I can't engage the RK without also straining the rest of my body. Tonight I'm going to try masturbating (edging) while standing or sitting to see if I can engage the RK without so much background tension. Wish me luck!

HI, I'm new here. I have been reading various bits and pieces of information about lasting longer all over the internet, and am coming to my own conclusions about how I want to go about stopping my Premature Ejaculation. This forum has been a big help. BUT, I just cannot get my head around the reverse-kegel. I feel like that area is already completely relaxed? How do I relax it further? I'm not sure I can even pee harder (without pushing out my lower abdomen and straining everything). I have only just started doing the normal kegels (a light routine) and I am thinking I should carry on doing them just to get a basic understanding of those muscles to help me move onto doing reverse kegels? I still haven't managed to succesfully "edge" 3 times in a row. (I've literally only JUST started "training" though, so I'm not too disheartened) But while my gf is away on holiday I'd like to get going with doing as much as I can alone until I see her again.

its fine even if for the next year as your reverse kegel you tense up many muscles in your body. the act causes relaxation, but it itself is not a state of relaxation. as long as your doing them, body tensing or not they will loosen or free your bc muscle of tension over time. if you have PE you should do both. another person does a nice program he listed where he does regular kegel mon/wed/fri, and does the reverse kegel intermittently over the course of the week just trying to keep the bc in a state of relaxation

When i reverse kegel on my back I can isolate the BC muscle. But when i do this laying on my back I really push out some urine and it's a lot some drops of pee every time. Wondering if I am doing things right....
