MNM RESEARCH™

Program A — Neuromuscular coordination and ejaculatory regulation

Status: Hypothesis / Research proposal — not clinically validated

Author: Daniel Abdallah · Published on 2026-03-02 · Updated on 2026-08-20

Short answer

This program proposes testing whether pelvic neuromuscular coordination quality — isolation, dosing, timing, release — is associated with ejaculatory regulation, independently of maximal strength. No data is published and no efficacy claim is made.

Research question

Is pelvic neuromuscular coordination quality associated with ejaculatory latency variability, independently of maximal strength?

ESTABLISHED EVIDENCE

Established knowledge

  • Ejaculation is an integrated reflex coordinated by spinal and supraspinal structures.
  • The pelvic floor contributes to continence, pelvic support and lumbo-pelvic stability.
  • Maximal strength and motor control are distinct, separately measurable qualities.
  • Motor learning remains possible in adulthood.
MNM HYPOTHESIS™

MNM hypothesis

  • MNM HYPOTHESIS™: coordination-focused training may be associated with modified conditions under which the ejaculatory reflex is triggered.
  • MNM INSTITUTE™ does not claim that muscular action mechanically blocks ejaculatory ducts; no such mechanism is established.

What remains unknown

  • Which coordination components can be measured reliably?
  • Is there an association between coordination indices and self-reported latency variability?
  • Would any effect be attributable to coordination, attention, learning or non-specific factors?
  • What is the test–retest stability of the candidate measures?

Proposed proof-of-mechanism study

Proposed design

  • Exploratory prospective proof-of-mechanism study with an active comparator.
  • Arm 1: coordination training (MNM™ protocol). Arm 2: conventional pelvic strengthening. Arm 3: waitlist or education only.
  • 8–12 weeks, assessments at baseline, midpoint and end.
  • Sample size determined by power calculation after a pilot.

Candidate objective measures

  • Surface perineal EMG: activation latency, dissociation quality, return-to-rest time.
  • Dosing accuracy at target levels (20% / 50% / 80%).
  • Co-contraction indices (glutes, adductors, abdominals).
  • Heart-rate variability and respiratory rate as activation covariates.
  • Self-reported perceptual measures, with limitations documented.

Comparison with conventional pelvic-floor exercises

  • Conventional pelvic-floor protocols mostly target repetitions, duration and intensity.
  • The proposed MNM™ protocol targets quality: isolation, gradation, respiratory timing and full release.
  • The comparison seeks distinct measurement profiles, not a claim of clinical superiority.

Ethics and preregistration

  • Ethics committee approval before any recruitment.
  • Public preregistration of protocol and analysis plan before data collection.
  • Informed consent, right to withdraw, pseudonymised data.
  • Publication of results in any direction, including null findings.
  • Conflict of interest declared: MNM INSTITUTE™ develops the evaluated method; independent evaluation is sought.

Limitations

  • No results are available; the program is at proposal stage.
  • Self-reported measures are sensitive to expectation bias.
  • An association would not demonstrate causality.
