A reverse kegel or a «pelvic drop» is basically the opposite of a kegel contraction.
I refer to pelvic floor muscle relaxation as
a reverse kegel or a «pelvic drop,» and I discuss the technique in the Relaxation section of my book, Lady Bits.
I love teaching and talking about kegels (contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles), but it's also important to know how to do a «
reverse kegel» — to know how to COMPLETELY RELAX the pelvic floor muscles.
Please read this article, see if you can do the «
reverse kegel,» practice deep breathing and meditation for relaxation, and consult a women's health physical therapist.
Knowing when exactly to squeeze or release the muscles to delay the ejaculation reflex is the real trick (
reverse Kegel).
Some women have tight pelvic floor muscles to begin with (from birth, scar tissue, other factors) and if a muscle is tight to begin with, then you must first do what I call the «
Reverse Kegel» to release and let go, to allow the vaginal muscles to regain its normal function, suppleness and flexibility.
A proper Keel program is all about balance and must incorporate
a Reverse Kegel.
In fact, I like to advice kegels to try
my reverse kegels for relaxation when they're pregnant.
