The pubococcygeus muscle, also known as the PC muscle, is one of the most important muscles in the body as it supports the uterus in women, ejaculation in men, the bladder and bowels. Learning how to strengthen this muscle can help relax it and lead to longer orgasms and vaginal tightness in women, and longer, stronger erections and overcoming premature ejaculation in men. Anyone can relax and exercise their PC muscle discreetly and at any time.
How to Find Your PC Muscle
The PC muscle can be tricky to find. Try the following tips to pinpoint its location:
- Stop the flow of urine in midstream. According to MayoClinic.com, this is the most common way to find the PC muscle in men and women and if you can stop the flow of urine, then you know where your PC muscle is.
- Women can insert a finger inside the vagina and try to squeeze the surrounding muscles. The vagina should tighten and the pelvic floor move upward when the PC muscle is contracted.
The only time you should stop urinating in mid-flow is to find your PC muscle, says the male fertility site Bigger Loads. Exercising your PC muscle with a full bladder or while emptying your bladder can lead to urinary tract infections.
