Lags, it just recommended not practicing the exercises while you're urinating so as to prevent possible urinary tract infections. That's sometimes a recommended way of identifying the pubococcygeal muscles themselves, by telling people to tighten the muscle that stops the flow of urine as they're urinating. But if you know what those muscles are (sometimes guys refer to them as the "gooch"), you can practice tightening and releasing them at times other than when you're emptying your bladder. You'll be perfectly safe from any urinary tract infections that way.
