I finally got to the gym for the first time since the pandemic started

Gained a valuable life lesson, too. Apparently in the post-covid world, it's bad form to ask someone else at the gym to "spot you" for kegels.

You live, you learn

Kegel exercises aren’t just for women. They can strengthen men’s pelvic floor muscles, too. These muscles support your bladder and bowel and affect sexual function. Kegels can help if you have trouble with bladder or bowel incontinence, or if you dribble after you pee. They can make sex better by giving you more feeling during an orgasm and greater control over ejaculation.
