So first i want to justify this thread - i know i have been making several threads these past few weeks, however i believe that i am in the process of narrowing down the main issues in my Pre E and that it is essential to educate myself and work on overcumming these (see what i did there, lol)
- and, i am actually seeing some progress, albeit slow and with a lot of setbacks

Today i read this thread from 2016 (https://thebiohacker.com/forums/threads/overactive-ic-muscle-fix.99688/) which quite resonated with me, as it seems to be some of the same mechanisms that govern the dysfunction in my pelvic floor.

In the replies @Pegasus mentions the possibility of performing reverse kegels that target the IC muscle specifically, so i was wondering if anybody have had success with this, or can describe a protocol for perfoming them.

Cheers

I believe Dr Romero describes them in more detail . However I found them a further refinement of front rk.

Alright, i will see if i can trigger some variations of my front reverse kegels to target the area.
Expanding on the Original post: today during edging i felt around my pelvic floor and noticed that the BC and PC muscle were completely relaxed, but that the IC was rock hard. It was not until PONR that the BC muscle started tensing up.
Further the soreness after extensive squatting and RK'ing that i have outlined in an older thread a few months ago have started to reoccur, and i have noticed that it is most present after ejaculation. THe soreness is located to the same region as the IC muscle, so maybe a symptom of excessive tension in this muscle (bilateral).

I reckon that i need to relax and/or stretch these muscles and learn to relax them during edging to progress further. any suggestions are welcome

Training have been more or less on pause for the past month due to busy workdays, however now i am taking it up again
So today i experimented with palpating the pelvic floor, and found that i can isolate/palpate my IC muscles. When i perform a contraction/kegel of theese they twitch in a fast motion, as if i can't maintain constant tension in them

Totally normal. You shouldn't be able to sustain a conscious contraction of the ischiocavernosus for more than a few seconds.

In erection the muscles are already contracted. What you are feeling when you consciously contract the muscle is more of a hyper contraction. It's activated on a chain of reflexes - the same ones that are operating during sexual activity.

It's kind of complex, but simpler than it's usually made out to be.

Usually when guys report "involuntary contractions" they are reporting completely normal and healthy functioning of these muscles.
