Kegel Exercises: In 2016 a study was published regarding anal sex in men/women and found a higher risk of fecal incontinence although the absolute risk in men was 6% but the relative risk was 119%. The study only included 40 men who practiced anal sex. Kegel exercises that women do to strengthen the pelvic floor may have some impact on the anal sphincter to strengthen it. That's not been studied though.
