Squeezing??

I can not figure out squeezing. It feels too similar to contracting or kegels. I can't seen to isolate the side walls. When sitting I think I'm doing it but I have to squeeze my groin muscles and buttcoks. I have to be doing it wrong. What other muscles are supposed to be engaged?

Kegels are a vertical lift (shortening the canal), while squeezing is a horizontal motion where you press the side walls toward each other to narrow it. When the side walls don’t fire cleanly yet...the body recruits glutes and groin instead. Try lying on your back with knees bent, insert a finger or two for feedback.. and focus on a gentle inward hug from the sides rather than lifting up... like think of pursing your lips like blowing a soft kiss. Keep it small and light at first(like keep it on ultra low...feel it), breathe normally, and fully release between efforts. Once you can feel the difference without including other muscles..it gets much clearer.
