Location of the Kegel Muscle

Pubococcygeus, which non-doctor people refer to as the Kegel Muscle is in the groin area and helps control the vaginal opening and the passage way for the bladder.

This is an approximation of the muscle's location from a side view slice of the female reproductive system.

The Kegel feels like strong miniature bicep muscle beneath the vaginal wall surrounded by a thin sheath of cellophane. You will feel this when you press on the wall. You will have to seek it out as it is not obvious.

Men also have a Kegel muscle which can only be accessed by inserting a finger through the anus into the rectum. Traditionally this muscle in men is not used in heterosexual encounters.
