Hello everyone, I started a kegel routine a few weeks ago and figured I might as well publish my progress here.
Just to give you a bit of backstory, I started to get ED issues in 2015 after doing a kegel routine that didn't include any reverse kegels. Maybe I hurt myself in the process of doing this or maybe I caused a muscular imbalance, but some weird things have happened since then. Initially, there were days when I couldn't get an erection. These days were thankfully rare and I haven't had that problem for years, but I still have a diminished erection quality - they're not as hard as they used to be and don't last as long. I've also had weird issues like only getting erect in half of my penis, so the right half is really hard while the left is almost completely soft, and cumming in erratic ways sometimes like my muscles are misfiring. I also don't get hard with girls as easily as I used to - four years ago, just knowing that I was going to have sex was enough to get me excited, but now it's not unusual that I'll be making out with a girl and still not hard, especially if I haven't slept with her before (don't know why because I genuinely don't feel nervous about this kind of thing).
So yeah, it's a mess. My best theory is that this has been caused my a muscular imbalance in my pelvic floor which has endured for years. Because of this, I decided to start a fairly mild routine of reverse kegels (12 x 13 second holds with 13 second breaks in between). I intend to work in other exercises once I feel comfortable doing so - needless to say, I'm very worried about overdoing things again. I've been doing this RK routine for a month and I'll document my results here.
