Enhancing men's sexual health is a topic of growing importance and
interest worldwide, and this includes approaches to erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment in Canada.
In this article, we explore a range of exercises and lifestyle choices
that can complement medical treatments for ED and improve overall sexual
health. From specialized exercises to general physical activities and
diet, we delve into various strategies that can help men lead a
healthier and more fulfilling sexual life. These methods, rooted in both
tradition and modern understanding, offer a holistic approach to
improving sexual well-being.
In this topic related to men's sexual health, we'll discuss:
Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises are a great way to enhance your stamina in the bedroom,
but if you are not sure what they are, then you may not be doing it properly. Even worse, you could be
missing out on an exercise that could really help improve your sex
life!
What Are Kegel Exercises?
Technically, Kegel exercises
are helpful to engage in in order to control your urine and hold your
bowel movements more often. Kegel exercises strengthen your uterus,
bladder, and bowel.
Many people engage in Kegel exercises to strengthen their ability to
hold their urine more consistently, especially as they get older or
after pregnancy.
How To Find the Right Muscles To Strengthen the Area
When you decide that you want to strengthen the Kegel muscles, you
first need to know that you are doing it right. As a man, you can
practice while you urinate to ensure you are using the right
muscles.
When you are peeing, stop your urine stream midstream as you
normally would when trying to hold your pee. When you squeeze these
muscles, you are doing Kegel exercises.

Hold for 10 seconds, and then try again. The more you do this while
urinating, the more you will know how to do it when you are not
peeing. After you know this, you should not do this while urinating
more than a few times per month because it can actually begin to
weaken your pelvic floor muscles instead of strengthening
them.
Instead, you can do this while sitting on the couch, driving, lying
in bed, or even cooking in the kitchen.
The Benefits of Kegel Exercises
When you engage in Kegel
exercises, you are opening up a world of sexual health benefits! Here are just a
few of them:
-
Help with endurance
in the bedroom through sexual strength
-
Teach you that you
are in control of your sexual stamina
-
Control your bladder
and bowel movements easier
When you engage with Kegel sexual health exercises, you will notice a
difference in the bedroom after a few weeks of practice!
Jelqing exercises
If you haven't ever heard about Jelqing exercises before, you are about
to open up an entirely new world to your sexual health! You can practice
this right alongside the Kegel exercises.
What Are Jelqing Exercises?
Jelqing exercises are meant to help make your penis look larger and
stronger than it was before you did the exercises.
While there still needs to be more research behind this type of
exercise for sexual health and penis strength, it supposedly can make
your penis look larger and more engorged as well as make your erections
last longer.
So, How Do You Engage in Jelqing Exercises?
Engaging in Jelquing exercises involves a little bit more of a
technique than doing Kegel exercises. Here's how to do them, step by
step:
-
Create an "O" with your index and thumb like you are giving an okay
sign to someone
-
Put those fingers at the base of your penis
-
Squeeze your fingers a little bit until you feel more pressure on
the base of your penis
-
While squeezing, move your fingers up toward the tip of your penis
(somewhat like masturbating but quite slow, about 3-5 seconds to get
to the top)
-
Once you reach the tip, loosen the grip (if it hurts, you were
doing it too tightly, so loosen the grip a bit)
-
Repeat once a day for about 20 minutes per day
This is the general premise for how to engage in Jelqing exercises.
However, you may want to try it out in a few different ways. You should
experiment with your grip as well as both using lube and not using it.
You may find that lube is overstimulating, and the point is to stretch
and enlarge your penis, not masturbate.
When doing these exercises, you may notice a few side effects. There
could be bruising, pain or soreness of the penis, skin irritation on the
penis from rubbing it, and scar tissue that forms.
Why Engage in These Exercises?
At this point, you may be wondering why you should engage in Jelqing.
While there is no true scientific evidence that this works, you may
notice that your penis gains girth and length after some time doing
these exercises.
This could potentially make your partner (and you) happier in the bedroom.
More Exercises for Better Sex
While Jelqing exercises and Kegel exercises are great exercises to improve your sexual health, they are not the only ones to try out. There are so many ways to
improve your sexual stamina outside of just focusing on your actual
penis.
Cardio and Endurance Training
For starters, you should try doing more cardio and endurance training
during the week. You should aim to exercise about 150 minutes per week
to get enough physical exercise for your health.
There are so many different ways to engage in this type of training.
Here are a few different exercises to try out:
-
Swimming
-
Running
-
Fast walking
-
Boxing
-
Cycling indoors or
biking outside
-
Using the stair
stepper at the gym
-
Elliptical
-
Rowing
Anything that raises your heart rate can be helpful with cardio and
endurance training.
Doing these types of exercises can keep your blood vessels clear, which
helps with longer and stronger erections. Not only that, but the
endorphins
will boost your mood, which is always helpful in the bedroom.
Weightlifting
The best type of exercise is to engage in both cardio and
weightlifting. The combination of both helps with improving your
cardiovascular health as well as improving your overall health. The
combination with weightlifting can help you to strengthen your
muscles.
A mix of
weightlifting and
cardio exercises can help you lose weight as well if that is on your
agenda. Losing weight can drastically improve performance in the bedroom
as well, as long as you are at a healthy weight.
Diet and Nutrition for Sexual Strength
While this may be straightforward to some, others may not realize the
effects diet has on sexual health and stamina.
Think about it. When you eat a burger and fries for lunch, you probably
feel like you need a nap right after. That's because fried and fatty
foods just sit in your stomach and slow you down.
Imagine doing this all of the time! Your sexual strength would
decrease, you wouldn't have energy, and you'd feel less desire to have sex
as well.
So what can you do about this? Focus on getting the right nutrients and
eating a healthy diet to improve your libido. Here are a few foods that
may help with your sexual strength:
-
Avocados
-
Watermelon
-
Broccoli
-
Green tea
-
Oysters
-
Spinach
-
Ginger
-
Olive oil
There are many other foods that you can eat to improve your libido as
well as your overall health. Each of these above can play a different
tool in getting your sex life back on track.

Health
Improving your libido
and your overall health is a great way to boost your sexual health.
However, trying out men's sexual health exercises is another great way
to get back on track with your life in the bedroom.
Performing Kegel exercises and Jelqing exercises can help increase your
sexual strength within the penis, helping with your stamina in the
bedroom. Engaging in other everyday activities like cardio, endurance,
and strength training can also improve your sex life.
Not only does exercising help, but improving your diet and potentially
losing weight (if you need to) can help you perform better in the
bedroom.
