I had knee surgery in the autumn and the two occasions Iāve been with a girl since Iāve struggled with maintaining an erection (been getting it okay in the first place). Is my surgery (and gradual rehab) a likely cause of weakening of some important muscles? Iāve been doing kegels for years but reverse kegels are new to meā¦are they specifically good for maintaining an erection?

I would recommend bringing this up with your doctor if you havenāt already (sorry, I know youāve probably thought/heard that before!), if there is a reason your surgery might be contributing to this issue, theyāll be the best source of information.
Iām pretty sure reverse kegels are for relaxing tightness in your pelvic floor, where regular kegels are for strengthening (double check that please, but Iām fairly sure Iām correct!).
Yeah I think youāre right, but would make sense for certain muscles etc to be tight after five months of limited motion and mobility. So hopefully things improve as I get back to full fitness. Or so Iām thinking/hoping
Iām sure it will, in the meantime Iād just make sure you give yourself enough space to work through it if there are any issues. Be kind to yourself and be patient.
