1. Pelvic floor: Men should do Kegels too

Pee when you have a natural amount of urine that would normally make you pee. Men should let it drain naturally. I find it drains then the flow weakens and I relax and then it flows more until fully drained. Then I flex the pelvic muscles like Kegel exercises a couple of times to squirt out the last bit. Not straining, not replacing natural drainage. I recommend sitting down to pee because I find I fart in the toilet then and there, and fart less later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kegel_exercise#Men I have no experience being a woman so I can only speak for my male experience.

I expected that kind of reaction. People are reluctant to talk about it, but not talking about health doesn't help Bernardo de La Paz Jun 12 #3
