Both men and women can and should do these contractions (approximately 25 a day) as there are many health benefits.
For women, it prepares the pelvic floor for the stress of childbirth and helps prevent uterine prolapse. For men, it can help with prostate pain and swelling. They are also beneficial in preventing urinary incontinence in both men and women and can increase sexual gratification for both genders.
