-reorganize for men versus women

-what the muscles are, where they are and how these muscle work during exercises

NOTES:

From about pre-mature ejaculation and male anatomy for kegels

perineal muscles are involuntary ---> in men they are responsible for ejaculation when contracted --->

Perineal muscles can be both voluntary and involuntarily contracted

Kegels can train the perineal muscles; ischiocavernosus (erection), bulbocavernosus (BC) (ejaculation), external sphincter of the anus, striated urethral sphincter, transverse perineal, levator of the prostate, and puborectalis muscle.

Strengthening the perineal muscles, 1. increase oxygen supply 2. tophism?

Kegel exercise, also known as pelvic-floor exercise, involves repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor, now sometimes colloquially referred to as the "Kegel muscles". The exercise can be performed multiple[quantify] times each day, for several minutes at a time, for one to three months, to begin to have an effect.[citation needed]

Kegel exercises aim to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.[1] These muscles hold up the human bladder and help to keep it from leaking.[2][3] Remove this sentence and anything that is cited with source 2 because "The public domain consists of all the creative works to which no exclusive intellectual property rights apply.

People usually perform such exercises to reduce urinary stress incontinence (especially after childbirth) and to reduce premature ejaculation in men.[4][3]

Several tools exist to help with these exercises, although various studies debate the relative effectiveness of different tools versus traditional exercises.[5]

The American gynecologist Arnold Kegel first published a description of such exercises in 1948.
