Pelvic Floor Muscles
October 17, 2009 –
Very important research :) has determined that ladies who exercise their pelvic floor muscles have more frequent and better orgasms than those who dont.
Three things you probably didn’t know about orgasms in women
1. Some sources say 90% of women have never had a vaginal orgasm during intercourse. In the 2008 Orgasm Survey nearly half of women said they rarely or never have orgasms. Two thirds of women who rate their pelvic floor as ‘poor’ have never had an orgasm. Those who exercise regularly have TWICE as many orgasms as those who do not exercise
2. Sex gets better with age. Women in their 40s have a much broader repertoire of sexual behaviours (including types of orgasm) than those in their 30s, who have more than those in their 20s. And older women are more aware of their G-spot!
3. During orgasm the vaginal muscle (also known as the pubococcygeus or PC muscle, love muscle or fire muscle) contracts repeatedly every 0.8secs
“Squeezing ‘the PelvicToner’ improves muscle tone and blood flow, which gives you more intense orgasms.”

“The pelvic floor is like any other muscle – use it or lose it!”
I, of course have been exercising those muscles for years, like a mad woman, and squeeeeeeeeeeeeze!. I thought it was because I like my fancy pants too much and didnt want to end up wearing the large but strangely fetching knickers in the pic – oh and because the boys seem to like it – I wonder why? ;) But now, now I feel as though I have given my self a nice little treat after all these years of hard work. Good things come to those who squeeze! Oh yes they do.
Now, I didnt know that men should be doing these exercises too, did you? I didnt even know they had them, pelvic floor muscles. I thought it was a lady thing. But while browsing the internet, I came across a book called ‘Exercise your penis’ (dont ask) or was it ‘Exercise!! you penis!’ ? hahaha
Anyway, it got me thinking and as always, I am happy to look after you fellas and your health, so here it is, what I found for you….
Why should men do pelvic floor exercises ?
A strong pelvic floor muscle is important for men too. Women have been encouraged to exercise their pelvic floor muscle for decades, but now we understand that it is just as vital for men, and especially for men with specific health issues. Research has found that
- a strong pelvic floor overcomes erectile dysfunction (Uni of Bristol study, 2004)
- a regular program of pelvic floor exercise achieves the same success rate as Viagra (Uni of Bristol study, 2004)
- pelvic floor exercises are a safer and cheaper option than drugs; Viagra is associated with damage to the eyes and vision in a significant number of men using it, but exercises are safe for everyone (May 2005). Medications are much more costly than an exercise program.
- pelvic floor exercise can “increase awareness of sexual sensations and enhance enjoyment” (Impotence Association, UK)
- pelvic floor exercises can bring a dramatic improvement for men who experience dribbling after urinating (Uni of Bristol study, 2005)
- pelvic floor exercises are strongly recommended for men following a prostatectomy. Research has shown that pelvic floor strengthening can improve sexual function and overcome urinary incontinence. Some research shows that self-directed exercise, using verbal and written instructions, can work just as well as intensive physio (Moore and others, 2008), while the latest findings demonstrate that a mere 12 sessions of electrical stimulation and biofeedback, each of 35 mins duration and starting 7 days after catheter removal resulted in almost all men regaining continence at 6 months (Mariotti and others, 2009).
No need to thank me :) xx
