Sex File: She wants me to try Kegel exercises for better orgasms — are they useful for men?

Women are commonly recommended to perform Kegels in preparation for and after pregnancy and childbirth, which can weaken these muscles, as can ageing and weight gain.

My girlfriend suggested that I could train myself to have stronger orgasms by doing Kegel exercises. I always thought they were something women did - are they useful for a man in his 40s too?

Your girlfriend is a keeper. It is surprising how few men know about the importance of Kegel exercises, given the evidence supporting the positive impact they can have on sexual function has been around for years.
