Although if there was something negative to say, some authorities may consider female masturbation to cause “impure thoughts”! The main reason for male masturbation carrying this severity is because it does not involve the release of the seed. Continue reading →

Where are the pelvic floor muscles in men?

A good approach for men to help them find their pelvic floor muscle is by, when in mid flow of urination try to stop or slow down the flow, but is not really recommend that men do this particular exercise all the time, as it could interfere with the ‘normal flow’ of passing urine.

If you achieve this the action it should be visible in the mirror. Continue reading →
