Welcome to Sex Week on the Strategist, where we’re doing a deep dive on everything you need for the bedroom — from vetting the best vibrators to asking stylish people what they keep in their nightstands. For more, head to ourSex Week hub.
I take my sex life as seriously as my day job, with comparably favorable performance reviews. So when a trusted fuck buddy implied my plumbing was collapsing, I responded immediately and put my hole on a PIP. Which is to say — before these metaphors fully collide and spring a leak — I started doing Kegels. As with any remediation plan, mine was greatly aided by a tool designed to meet my goal — in this case, thekGoal.
I was initially skeptical. One reviewer called the kGoal “extremely unpleasant,” and itwouldsuck if your hole is already shot. Personally, I found the pain titillating. The kGoal is a small egg-shaped pelvic-floor-training device made of silicone with internal sensors and weights that sync to a smartphone app. It registers my squeezes and subtly pushes back, turning a few focused minutes of clenching into something akin to a workout, likeBop It!for my butthole — lift, grip, pull! But actually: The kGoal is gamified. I played endoscopic versions of old games —Asteroids,Flappy Bird— built around these functions. For a couple of months, I used the kGoal in short but consistent spurts: five minutes between meetings here, as a nightcap before bed there, every other day or so. It was, initially, a humbling experience, but eventually I got the hang of it. I even started to like it.

kGoal Boost: Sit-on-Top Kegel Trainer for Men
Beyond restoring my plumbing, the kGoal has boosted my endurance, control, andstar power. These days, I have to paper my walls before I work my willy lest I risk ruining the paint job; my ropes need passports they fly so far. The kGoal offers the entrepreneurial man a relatively noninvasive — relative to peptides, TRT, gear, and the panoply of unregulated endocrinological slop men are increasingly injecting into their bodies — opportunity to improve his sexual performance. For men, better pelvic control translates to staying hard, lasting longer, and shooting farther. And in an age when “nutmaxxing” has graduated from the annals of Reddit tobona fide editorials, this matters to men more than we realize (forget whether it should). Maybe I’m a tad porn-brained, but I quite enjoy the newfound level of theater this brings to the bedroom. I hypnotize my bottoms with my dick, and I last long enough now to make sure they come. What was supposed to help me bottom has, ironically, turned me into a grade-A top. It makes me feel good — and relevant. Gooning,ahegao, the raucous debate over the banality ofHeated Rivalry: The kGoal is ideal for today’s sex spectacular.
Granted, most of us aren’t trying to be porn stars. Nonetheless, doing Kegels is still an essential part of maintaining pelvic-floor health, particularly for an aging millennial population whosepharmacologically-curious lifestyleisdecimating its ability to urinate. Regardless of your ketamine consumption — and, more to the point — the truth is that sex can be awkward, discomfiting, even a bit scary. Good sex requires enough confidence to stop micromanaging, enough self-assurance to take what comes and push it back out. Who doesn’t need a little encouragement? Like a Tamagotchi, the kGoal is always there, reminding you to keep your shit off the floor.
