By now you’ve probably heard of kegel exercises and all of the miracles that they supposedly perform; a tighter vagina for her, multiple orgasms for him, and an end to student debt for us all (ok, so that last one might just be wishful thinking on my part.) Some of you might be wondering exactly what muscles you’re pumping up and how to do it. Fear not! We’re here to set the record straight on the how and why of kegel exercises!
Where Are These Mysterious Muscles?
When we’re talking about kegels, we’re actually talking about the pelvic floor, a sling-like collection of muscles and tendons that support the bladder, rectum, uterus, and your man’s junk as well! Like anything, these muscles weaken as we age, especially after childbirth, which can lead to urinary incontinence… eek!
If you work your pelvic floor muscles, like any other part of your body, not only will you prevent embarrassing accidents, you’ll also benefit from plenty of sexy bonuses! A strong pelvic floor has been shown to help women who have difficulty reaching orgasms, give stronger erections to men, and more intense orgasms for all! Not only that, but women can squeeze her muscles around her man’s cock during sex to bring on new, fun sensations!
So now that I’ve got your attention, you might want to know how to find your pelvic floor muscles! Next time you go to the bathroom, try to stop your stream mid-flow, hold it, release it, rinse, and repeat! Congratulations, you’ve found your pelvic floor! Just remember that you shouldn’t see or feel any other muscles working, such as your thighs or booty.
Working It Out
Now that’s you’ve found those muscles, let’s get to work! No, no; put down your gym bag! Kegel exercises can be done discreetly at home, the office, in the car, wherever! Remember to keep your other muscles still, breathe normally, and follow these steps:
- Slowly contract your pelvic floor muscles for five seconds.
- Slowly release them for five more seconds.
- Do a set of ten.
- Repeat three times daily.
That’s it! For less than the amount of time it takes to check your Facebook, you’ve already started down the path to improving your sex life!
