What are good exercises to help maintaining erections?

Here are some exercises that can help with erectile function:

Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels): These exercises involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles, which can improve blood flow and nerve function in the penis. To perform Kegels, squeeze your pelvic floor muscles as if you are trying to stop the flow of urine. Hold the contraction for a few seconds, then relax. Repeat this exercise 10-15 times, several times a day.

Squeeze technique: This technique can be performed during intercourse. When you feel yourself losing your erection, gently squeeze the base of your penis for a few seconds. This can help to maintain or regain your erection.

Stop-start technique: This technique can also be performed during intercourse. When you feel yourself losing your erection, stop thrusting and hold still for a few seconds. Then, start thrusting again slowly. Repeat this process as many times as necessary.

Lie on your back with your legs extended and your heels on the floor. Raise your hips until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Hold this position for 30 seconds to a minute, then slowly lower your hips back down. Repeat this exercise 10 times.

Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands on your thighs and lean forward until you feel a stretch in your lower back. Hold this position for 30 seconds to a minute, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 10 times.

To enhance the benefits of these exercises, it is important to:

Stay physically active: Exercise has many benefits for overall health, including sexual health. Regular exercise can improve circulation, reduce stress, and increase energy levels, all of which can contribute to better erectile function.

Maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of erectile dysfunction. Losing weight can help to improve erectile function.

Limit alcohol and tobacco use: Alcohol and tobacco can both negatively affect erectile function. Limiting alcohol intake and avoiding smoking can help to improve erectile function.

Get enough sleep: Sleep is important for overall health, including sexual health. When you are sleep-deprived, you are more likely to experience erectile dysfunction. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.

Manage stress: Stress can lead to erectile dysfunction. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as exercise, yoga, meditation, or talking to a therapist.
