  The pubococcygeus muscle is a wide network of muscle found in both men and women. This muscle runs along the lower pelvic bride between the coccyx, or tail bone, to the pubic bone and can be contracted consciously. This bottom layer of muscle serves roles in reproduction, sexuality, urination and prostate health.
  
  

Urination

• The PC muscle halts the stream of urine, but, like any muscle, weakens without use. A strong PC muscle means that you have active control of urination, which in turn lowers incontinence. Both men and women can benefit from Kegel exercises to strengthen those muscles, which promotes good urinary health. Strong muscles also lower the risk of a urinary tract infection.
  
  

Sexuality

• The PC muscle contracts during orgasm, so a strong muscle will naturally promote a changed sexual response, according to PCMuscles.org, a website devoted to the muscles and related products. In men, a strong PC muscle network works to lower premature emissions. Women report more positive feelings about intercourse after Kegel exercises.
  
  

Childbirth

• Childbirth is directly involved with the lower ridge of pelvic muscle. As the baby goes down the birth canal, it passes through the PC system. Having strong PC muscles aids in childbirth by allowing relaxation and tensing of the muscles to facilitate a proper birth. Women who perform Kegel exercises have higher rates of proper infant head placement during birth.
  
  

Prostate Health

• As men age, the prostate becomes increasingly dangerous in regards to cancer and pain. Performing exercises to strengthen the PC muscles results in a stronger prostate, which lowers prostate pain men may experience. A strong PC muscle will maintain and regulate the male's lower organs.
