  The Pelvic Floor
All of the muscles are anchored to the bony structures of the pelvis.
The pubococcygeus muscle is a U shaped muscle that arises from the pubic bones, attaches to the lateral walls of the vagina and the rectum, and extends to the posterior portion of the rectum.
The pubococcygeus muscle is attached to the coccyx at the base of the spine and to the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis and therefore this muscle is called the pubococcygeus muscle.

 Pubococcygeus muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pubococcygeus muscle or PC muscle is an important muscle in the human body.
It is a hammock-like muscle, found in both sexes, that stretches from the pubic bone to the coccyx (tail bone) forming the floor of the pelvic cavity and supporting the pelvic organs.
The Pubococcygeus arises from the back of the pubis and from the anterior part of the obturator fascia, and is directed backward almost horizontally along the side of the anal canal toward the coccyx and sacrum, to which it finds attachment.

The Pubococcygeus is one of a group of muscles forming part of the Pelvic Floor.
It is the PC muscle that contracts during ejaculation and also acts to stop the flow of urine from the bladder.
The exercises used to strengthen the PC muscle are known as Kegels, named after the pioneer of the techniques, Dr Arnold Kegel.

It is the muscle used to stop urination, to prevent a bowel movement, or to tighten the vagina during intercourse.
Both muscle fiber types should be exercised so as to improve the muscle's resting tone (slow-twitch) and its rapid reflex contraction (fast-twitch) during episodes of sudden increases in intra-abdominal pressure (i.e., a cough or sneeze).

Pelvic floor muscles — Two sets of muscles, the pubococcygeus and perineal muscles, that allow a person to control his or her urine voluntarily.
Pelvic floor muscle exercises — also known as Kegel exercise, this non-invasive form of controlling incontinence utilizes exercise to strengthen the muscles that allow you to stop urinating voluntarily (the pubococcygeus and perineal muscles) to help build strength in the area, and consequently increase bladder control.
Video urodynamics — a study whereby simultaneous measurements of bladder and abdominal pressures, urinary flow rates, pelvic floor muscle activity, and fluoroscopy (dynamic X-ray imaging) of the bladder and urethra during the filling and emptying phases of urination are obtained and recorded on a computer.

In measuring function of the pubococcygeus, it must be made certain that the patient is not using extraneous muscles, such as those of the abdominal, gluteal, orintroital regions.
Since they are unable to coordinate their muscles through the usual reflexes, it is necessary to establish a connection between contractions of the pubococcygeus and the sense of sight.
After the beneficial effect of resistive exercises on atrophy of the pubococcygeus muscle had been satisfactorily established, it was logical to prescribe Perineometer exercises before major degrees of pelvic relaxation had occurred.

}} The pubococcygeus muscle or PC muscle is a hammock-like muscle, found in both sexes, that stretches from the pubic bone to the coccyx (tail bone) forming the floor of the pelvic cavity and supporting the pelvic organs.
They are often referred to simply as "kegels." These exercises also serve to contract the cremaster muscle in men, as voluntary contraction of the pubococcygeus muscle also engages the cremasteric reflex, which also has sexual benefits.
The Pubococcygeus arises from the back of the pubis and from the anterior part of the obturator fascia, and is directed backward almost horizontally along the side of the anal canal toward the coccyx and sacrum, to which it finds attachment.

 Female Genital Anatomy
The erectile tissue of the shaft consists of two parallel corpora cavernosa surrounded by a fibrous sheath (tunica albuginea) and the whole structure is covered by a clitoral hood formed in part by the fusion of the upper part of the two labia minora while the lower parts meet beneath the clitoris.
Surrounding the adventitia are three sets of powerful pelvic striated muscles (1, superficial- ischiocavernosus and bulbocavernosus; 2, the transverse perineii and 3, deep- the levator ani forming the pelvic diaphragm across the anterior of the pelvis of which the largest medial portion is classified as the pubococyggeus).
In the basal or sexually quiescent state the striated muscle plays little or no role but the smooth muscle of the uterus and vagina is active especially perimenstrually when it contracts periodically to expel the uterine/vaginal contents.

In measuring function of the pubococcygeus, it must be made certain that the patient is not using extraneous muscles, such as those of the abdominal, gluteal, orintroital regions.
It must be emphasized that woman with poor function of the pubococcygeus have all their lives compensated for this deficiency by depending for support upon the fasciae and the more superficial muscles.
Since they are unable to coordinate their muscles through the usual reflexes, it is necessary to establish a connection between contractions of the pubococcygeus and the sense of sight.

 PC Muscle Exercises (Pubococcygeus Muscle)
It resembles hammock-like muscle, found in both genders, that stretches from the pubic bone to the coccyx forming the floor of the pelvic cavity and supporting the pelvic organs.
The PC muscle is the muscle that you squeeze to stop the urinating flow and is basically your ejaculatory control muscle and pumps when you ejaculate during an erection.
A powerful PC muscle will contribute to enhancing the erotic sexual pleasure and to control the sexual energy and that is why the strengthening of the sexual muscle (PC muscle) is necessary in the practice of sexual continence.

Both men and women have a PC (pubococcygeus) muscle, which is responsible for the health of the pelvic floor.
Tighten your muscle and hold for a count of 5, and release.
Because the muscle heals quickly, you’ll begin noticing that you’re waking up with more solid erections and that’s always a good thing, especially if Petunia is sleeping next to you in the buff come morning (you know what I mean).

The extrinsic continence mechanism is the pelvic floor musculature, predominantly the pubococcygeus muscle.
The pubococcygeus muscle, which supports the urethra, the vagina, and the rectum is stretched during childbirth and is known to atrophy along with other muscles in post-menopausal women.
This process allows the woman to pinpoint the appropriate muscles she is contracting and the visual image is a motivating factor in increasing the strength and length of contraction.

The pubococcygeal muscle (PC) or pelvic floor muscle is the muscle that you 'squeeze', when you try to hold back urine.
The muscle (the darker red in the diagram) 'wraps' around the rectum and the vagina in a figure of '8'.
A weak PC muscle can also lead to poor muscle control during labour and delivery; a decrease in sexual pleasure; or genital prolapse, an uncomfortable condition in which the bladder, rectum, or uterus moves down into the vagina.

 Male Multiple Orgasms:
In most men it is a very weak muscle because they use it only when they come, and they come only infrequently and not powerfully.
The process of strengthening your PC muscle consists of a series of flexing or tightening the muscle, then trying to hold, so at the moment of orgasm the male is able to hold back the fluid and refrain from ejaculating while still having orgasm.
Once you get use to tightening and flexing your PC muscle there are other ways this can be performed using your erection and a bath towel; you simple hang the towel over your erection and forcefully raise and lower your penis from 50 to 100 times.

Your pubococcygeus muscle is unseen in your pelvic floor, it pumps when you ejaculate and you tense it to retain a buttplug or enema.
Pubococcygeus muscle isometric flexing can be performed erect or not and is invisible so the PC muscle can be trained almost anywhere.
Another popular name for the same muscle is the Kegel muscle, after Arnold H.

In the histological sections, the morphology of the muscle was evaluated with particular reference to its shape and its attachments.
As regards muscle characteristics, the LAM is described as being a direct continuation of the outer muscle coat of the rectum, receiving contributions from the surrounding pelvic muscles.
Due to its attachments, contraction of the LAM shortens and widens the anal canal, the direction of contraction being upward and lateral because of the longitudinal extension of the pubococcygeus muscle.
