Sex is like weight training. To be successful, you have to work at it, and listen. This can be achieved by just practicing, but one can also improve by preparing oneself physically. Better cardio, and more strength or resistance can all help. But beware, this is not about performance, but simply a matter of giving practical advice in order to be more comfortable, and avoid inconveniences due to poor physical condition. Accidents can quickly happen.

Kegels for premature ejaculation
Many men are affected by premature ejaculation. Although the subject is taboo, due to many having a rather oversized ego when it comes to talking about what happens below the waist, it is possible to deal with this little problem by practicing what are called kegels.
These exercises work on the urinary sphincter, as well as other muscles that control ejaculation. Thus, while there are several possible postures, the goal is to contract the pelvis, such as when you are holding back from urinating. Contract for one to two seconds and then release. Do this movement over three to four sets of 30 reps, about three to four times a week. Be careful not to contract the buttocks, but rather the pelvis.
The ‘ready for bed’ workout
- 1. Hindu pushups: 10 reps
This exercise will allow you to control your body, and have enough strength to avoid falling on your partner in certain positions.
- 2. Front squats with a sandbag: 5 to 10 reps
It can be useful in case you occasionally lift up your partner, and it also strengthens the legs.
- 3. Hip thrusts: 3 sets of 10 reps
This works on pelvic strength. No need to draw a diagram to explain what this exercise is for.
Practice this workout regularly, and your body will soon be better prepared for a cuddle session under the sheets, among other activities. This might not be a 100% guarantee for everyone, but feeling good physically is a good start in order to build confidence. The rest is up to you.
