Where is the pelvic floor muscles? How do exercise them?
Question:
Answers:
The part of your body including your hip bones is the pelvic area. At the bottom of the pelvis, several layers of muscle stretch between your legs. The muscles attach to the front, back, and sides of the pelvis bone. Two pelvic muscles do most of the work. The biggest one stretches like a hammock. The other is shaped like a triangle. These muscles prevent leaking of urine and stool. Kegel exercises are done to strenthen them. You can read how to do it here

Lol..I don't even want to know why you are asking this.
With little weights.
Um, they are in the pelvic region-- above your legs, below your waist!
Women are taught to do Kegal exercises to strengthen them-- they are supposed to squeeze and hold for a few counts kind of like when you are stopping urinating. Not sure how guys are supposed to do them.

It applies to males, as well as females.
Your perineum. The space between your franks n beans and your rectum. To excercise squeeze your butt muscles, relax sqeeze etc. its called kegals women do them all time
Without tensing the muscles of your leg, buttocks or abdomen, imagine that you are trying to control the passing of gas. You tighten or pull in the ring of muscle around your rectum - your pelvic muscle. You should feel a pulling in of your rectum.
One exercise consists of both "tightening and relaxing". You should relax for the same amount of time you tighten. Be sure to relax completely between each muscle tightening. Tighten your pelvic muscle and hold for a count of 3 seconds, then relax the muscle completely for a count of 3 seconds. Over time you will increase tightening the muscle to 5 - 10 seconds and even longer.
How to Identify your Pelvic Floor Muscles
The first thing to do is to identify correctly the muscles that need to be exercised.
1. Sit or lie comfortably with muscles of your thighs, buttocks and abdomen relaxed.
2. Tighten the ring of muscle around the back passage as if you are trying to control diarrhoea or wind. Relax it. Practice this movement several times until you are sure you are exercising the correct muscle. Try not to squeeze your buttocks or tighten your thighs or tummy muscles.
3. Imagine you are passing urine, trying to stop the flow mid-stream, then restarting it. (You can do this "for real" if you wish, but do so only to learn which muscles are the correct ones to use: do not make a practice of it or it may interfere with normal bladder emptying.) If your technique is correct, each time that you tighten your pelvic floor muscles you may feel the base of your penis move up slightly towards your abdomen.
Men experience a variety of problems with their urinary system, leading to unwanted leakage of urine. Some also have difficulty controlling wind or leakage from the bowels. Often this is due to a weakness of the muscles of the pelvic floor, which have an important function in preventing these troublesome conditions.
MY use of the Kegel exercises allows me to hold off on orgasm almost to the exact dictates of my will.but not all the time.decreases the time of premature ejaculation and I can now stop my urine flow on a dime.and hold for minutes at a time if so desired.
