There are lots of things that most of us do on a daily basis to improve our overall health. We try and get a full night's sleep, we brush our teeth, we try to eat healthier, we try to workout, and more. All of those things are vital to our health, and they are small steps we can take to improving our lives, so we do them. What if I told you there was a pretty small step that both men and women could take to improve their sexual lives? I bet you'd be interested.

There is! Kegel exercises are pelvic floor exercises designed to improve the sexual health of both men and women. While the exercises are usually recommended for women, men can do them just as easily, and they can provide a multitude of benefits for men as well. One of the best things about kegel exercises is that they can be done anywhere and at any time. No extra equipment is needed if you don't want to use it, and you can even do kegel exercises while doing other things like sitting through board meetings or watching your favorite television show - no one will be the wiser!

Along with being important to bedroom activities, kegel exercises improve overall health as well. Strong PC muscles provide better bladder control which can be vital after pregnancy or in your older age. Kegels provide a multitude of sexual benefits as well; kegels increase blood flow to the genitals which increases sensitivity and pleasure which can make orgasm more readily achievable. It also can increase the duration and intensity of orgasms. For men, strong PC muscles improves the firmness and reliability of erections. In women, stronger PC muscles provide a tighter grip on her lover's penis during intercourse.

To do kegel exercises, you'll first need to locate your PC muscle. To do this, try cutting off your urine flow next time you're in the bathroom. The same muscle you used to do that is the PC muscle that you'll need to exercise. (However, never do kegel exercises while peeing; it's not good for you). Later, when you aren't busy, try contracting those muscles. Try to avoid tightening up other muscles at the same time (though this may take practice). Tighten the muscle for ten seconds then release it. Doing it multiple times per day can help you get the fastest results. Further information about how to do kegel exercises can be found if you click here.

While you don't need any fancy equipment to do kegel exercises, just like weight-lifting, you can achieve better results by using dedicated exercise items. Kegel balls are a type of simple kegel exercise item designed for women. The balls are simply inserted into the vagina, and because of the extra weight and movement they provide, it works as a subtle way for the body to tighten the muscles to keep the toy inside. Many women also report that the sensation of using these kegel balls is pleasurable in itself. A relatively new invention, there also are resistance vaginal exercisers that allow you to take your PC muscle strength to the next level.

No matter if you're male or female, doing kegel exercises is a simple thing to do to do wonders to improve your health. It costs absolutely nothing unless you want to get some of the fastest results, and it's something that can be done anywhere and at any time. Frequently neglected because of their sexual health benefits, kegel exercises should be added to your healthy living choices - ASAP!

It's a problem many men face, but no one wants to discuss. At its best, premature ejaculation (PE) can be a mild annoyance. At its worst, it can become a fertility issue. In the book 'Making Babies: A Proven 3-Month Program for Maximum Fertility,' Dr. Sami David explains that sperm that is released just as it enters the vagina often doesn't have enough of a head start. If you're one of the thousands who suffer from PE, don't worry.

Many men are reticent to discuss the problem with their peers, let alone their partners, resulting in a severe lack of attention to the problem all around. It's important to keep the dialogue going. To that end, here are some ideas that can help stop PE.

SSRIs

You know them by name: Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, etc. Clinically known as Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors, antidepressants that regulate serotonin in the brain have been proven to slow ejaculation. It is imperative that you speak plainly and openly with your doctor when considering these medications.

Kegel exercises

Having trouble locating your pubococcygeal muscles? Weren't sure whether you even had pubococcygeal muscles? You've got 'em. Here's proof. When you urinate, try tensing up and cutting off the flow. Start again. Stop again. That's your pubococcygeal muscles in action. Once you get that voluntary contraction down, perform 10 reps of 10 seconds each. Tighten, hold, release. A tight, confident hold means greater control.

Pre-sex masturbation

Ejaculation and orgasm in men results in chemical changes in the brain. For some, the brain takes its own sweet time to re-set the balance of these chemicals – resulting in a slow "re-charge" period. If this is your case, use it to your advantage. Many suffering from PE found that a pre-sex masturbation routine improved their ejaculatory time. As an added bit of spice, you can work with your partner to make this routine a shared activity.

Don't race to the finish line

Take a page from chick-lit. Slow things down. Penetration comes later – much later. Foreplay is the key to a satisfied partner. 'Nuff said.

3 Essential ingredients

1. A sense of humor.

Freud said humor is a response to frustration. Indeed, humor can help to alleviate frustration and tension. Sharing personal jokes with your partner is fine, as long as the humor doesn't hint at unspoken feelings. That leads us to...

2. Communication

Contrary to popular belief, PE is not that big a deal for the partners of those who suffer from it. What turns partners off is the unspoken frustration that exists between the two of you.

Open up. Let your partner know that you realize this issue may be as frustrating for them as it is for you. Encourage them to share their feelings with you. It's OK to be vulnerable, especially when it comes to being honest about your feelings.

3. Commitment

Discuss a plan of action. Acknowledge that this is your problem and you are going to do something about it, but that you will need support. This demonstrates that you have your partner's feelings in mind.

Notice a trend in the above? Having a sense of humor, communication, commitment – all of these are the hallmarks of a meaningful relationship. Not only is it necessary to have all three working in conjunction with each other, it is necessary to have them united by a fundamental principle: Trust.

You must trust that when you laugh together, it is not at your expense. You must trust that the communication is always going to be open. Lastly, you must earn trust from your partner by your commitment to them. PE doesn't have to be the end of a relationship. On the contrary: Honesty about it can be the beginning.
