I don't even know what that means, level 20, but for anyone who isn't a record holder like you, kegels are exercises for the pelvic floor muscles, and that supports your bladder, your uterus, your bowel, and done correctly, they can help with incontinence, and they can improve sexual function, and they can help men, too, like things like premature ejaculation and bladder control.

I don't know what your problem is, Jordan, but

The problem is most people do them wrong and they're not for everybody.

So you can do them wrong by clenching your abs or your thighs or your butt instead of the pelvic floor.

The vocabulary matters.

You have to know what you're targeting.

Or if you bear down instead of lifting up or you hold your breath, you can make things worse if your pelvic floor is already too tight.

So some people need to relax their pelvic floor, not tighten it.

So a good doctor can guide you to what exercises you should be doing.

I mean, you would have to probably take some pregnancy courses, I think.

Yeah, it's back to the literacy again.

You need to know what you're talking about.

Definitely not.

As estrogen declines, especially after menopause, you can get vaginal atrophy, thinner, drier tissue, less elasticity, more discomfort with sex, more infections.

But the good news is there are vaginal moisturizers, lubricants and low dose vaginal estrogen that acts locally.

So hormone therapy has been unfairly demonized.

And for lots of people under medical guidance, it can be really safe and life improving.

So staying sexually active solo or with a partner can help maintain blood flow and elasticity.

So sex in your 60s, it might be different than in your 20s, but it can still be really good.

Always.
