Knowing You're Kegeling Correctly...

You're not alone. I too have wondered about the technical issues of kegels, partially because I have some pelvic floor issues and also because I'm an anatomy nerd.
I think your experience is normal, I certainly have a similar experience in regards to the tension and flexing. The pelvic floor muscles are rather underused by most modern people. For example sitting, especially too much, causes the nervous system to down regulate muscle activation in the glutes and pelvic floor. It takes a lot of practice to get the "mind-muscle connection" restored.
One thing that helped me was watching some videos on the pelvic floor anatomy and then trying to feel various muscles and layers while kegeling. The pelvic floor is pretty complex and is much more than just the PC muscle.

Kegels are so simple just as Reverse Kegels are simple. So many make it more complex. Bounce a boner, that is a Kegel. Stop the flow of urine when peeing, that is a Kegel. Stope the flow of urine, that is a Reverse Kegel. Kegels are vital to every routine, as the penis grows larger it demand more blood and the source of that blood comes from a penis adept to Kegels. Remember too that Kegels also engage ALL pelvic floor muscles, meaning you will feel the kegel from your anus to your abs.

just remember, if you've pooped you've RK'd too hard, lol

@DLD – Yep, makes sense, so maybe it’s just my paranoia then… Like I said I just hate that I flex the muscle and hold, and seconds later I don’t feel the flex any longer.

I do not feel it either after a bit and what I do feel mainly on a kegel is my sphincter flexing along with my penis, reverse kegels I feel it mainly in my abs.

Perfect way of putting it. Kegels will flex your anus and reverse kegels feels like forcing a poop out.

I am chronically lactose intolerant but I still eat dairy. But yeah, I drink some milk and do some reverse kegels that milk will be chocolate before I get through one set!

Yeah despite being lactose intolerant I still eat cheese and ice cream lol

See that's interesting, despite my concerns with kegeling, I still feel like I'm accomplishing something... RK's as I understand them, having mainly done them with prostate play, don't necessarily feel like I'm doing anything productive! Though I take it they're vital to all of this.

They're vital for great erections.

cheesecake obliterates my insides (but sometimes the temptation is too much)

It's too good to pass up sometimes. Cheese goes on so many foods but it doesn't necessarily always cause me a reaction. Milk however...
