Sex Fact: Kegel Exercises

Kegels can really change the pleasure you receive from sex as well as the strength of your orgasm. There are several muscles that exist in the perineal group (in the genital region), but the two big muscles are the pubococcygeus muscle and the bulbocavernosus muscle. Both muscles contract during pleasure and an orgasm. Dr. Arnold Kegel discovered these pelvic exercises made women less likely to suffer from incontinence, and the women found out other “side effects” including stronger orgasms or being able to orgasm more easily. Kegel muscles can be exercised by squeezing those same muscles that stop the flow of urine – except when you're not peeing. For women, there are extra props to help strength the vaginal muscles including vaginal barbells and vaginal balls (such as the Je Joue Ami.)Kegels aren't just for women either. In men, stronger kegel muscles can lead to stronger erections, greater stamina, farther spurts, and more intense orgasms. Looks like kegels are a good choice for all.[italic|Learn more sex facts like this in the The Big Bang book by Em and Lo.Have you ever done kegel exercises? Did you use any sort of “prop” to do them?
