Peeing?! OMG

[Jolt]

A couple of my friends (both girls, and guys) were talking about kegeling and they said that it's wrong, and also bad for you to stop in mid-pee, and they spoke of the weird feeling they got after it that makes you want to pee more but you can't.

Well i personally didn't buy the whole story about it being bad for you, because i have used that as an exercise to strengthen my PVC muscles in the past...

So I'm just wondering if it is bad for you or not (an experienced opinion please).

WIKIPEDIA!!!!!

Wikipedia it, given that it is prescribed by doctors to treat incontinence, pelvic prolapse, and to prepare for giving birth to a child I'm going to say that it is not harmful.

I don't even see why one would think that.

What the hell? Tell them to do some research, especially the girls. Kegels are recommended by obgyn's and sex therapist, and urologists all over the world.

Check these out and tell your friends to do the same, especially teh girls :cool

Some people believe everything they hear from someone without actually looking up the true facts/studies...I have a friend who believes the same way your friends do Jolt & won't even try it...oh well too bad for them but continue to better yourself.

oh well too bad for them but continue to better yourself.

Couldnt have said it better. Most people view PE the same way too. They dont believe it. They read its dangerous. The read its a deformity, not growth. Some person on TV said it cant be done. Whatever. Let those who wanna believe it, believe it. Its better for us. Let it be the same with your friends bro. Their loss if they choose not to believe you.

I guess the actual point of Jolt's post wasn't about the possible dangers of regular kegels, it was about doing kegels while peeing. That can cause problems because if one does kegels every time he pees, the bladder will never empty completely. I read somewhere about that... could be harmful in the long run.

So, kegels should be done "dry". Peeing is often mentioned when talking about kegels because the muscle can be located easier that way. But, once it's "found", one should be able to do kegels without peeing. There's no need to pee while kegeling.

I think your right Bobo. I missed that. There is a lot of info out there about that as well. Maybe it should be highlighted that you only do it while peeing to locate the muscle, not to do kegels.

I was reading something about that a few hours ago as well. I think I'll stop doing it while I pee.

But yea, we should highlight that across the site anytime it is mentioned with what Bobo stated.
