You've probably heard that Kegel exercises can keep the vagina tight and make sex feel better. It's apparently true for both men and women.

Kegel exercises are the squeezing and releasing of our pelvic muscles, and it can help with premature ejaculation, according to research presented at the European Association of Urology in Stockholm this week.

In the study, researchers looked at 40 men between ages 19 and 46 who were suffering from lifelong premature ejaculation (defined by the International Society of Sexual Medicine as ejaculation within one minute). They found that by doing simple pelvic floor exercises, all but five of the men's premature ejaculations improved within 12 weeks.

So how is it done? The study's lead researcher, Antonio Pastore, M.D., Ph.D., explained that the exercises involve contracting the perineal muscles - the area between the tailbone and genitals - in the same way you'd perform Kegel exercises. Participants in the study also used electrostimulation to stimulate the perineal floor, as well as biofeedback, which helped them recognize the positioning of their perineal floor.

The thing is, all these men were suffering from serious, long-term premature ejaculation. You might only be suffering from a minor PE, but Pastore notes that these pelvic floor exercises may be just as effective as using anesthetic creams and condoms, or in some cases, a prescribed SSRI-inhibitor - without any side effects.

Basically, you can Kegel your way to a better sex life. How? Watch the video below for an idea, or consult your doctor or therapist:
