If you want to understand male pelvic floor health, you’ll get a LOT out of this interview. It’s deeply informative and thought provoking, and I learned a lot during the interview too. Dr. Susie Gronski is a pelvic floor physical therapist who specializes in helping men overcome pelvic pain and other pelvic problems like erectile dysfunction, pelvic tightness, prostate inflammation, premature ejaculation and more. (Episode times & topics below).
So if you’ve ever wondered if you can break your penis, or if you can do too many Kegels, this episode is for you.
We even talked about how emotions get stuck in the pelvic floor, anal pleasure, anal healing and prostate inflammation from the practice of semen retention. Dr. Gronski recommends the use of anal toys for pleasure & healing too, and if you want to explore those I put together a guide of the best anal toys for men. Side note, if you're someone who wants to overcome premature ejaculation and last longer in bed, check out my article & podcast about what causes premature ejaculation. It'll give you a good understanding of why PE happens, and will give you some great techniques to fix it too
