Pelvic floor exercises (PFE) are good for both men and women. Women use them to help recuperate from recently giving birth to strengthen their pelvic muscles for their and their partner's health in life. Some other nasty side-effects from weak pelvic floor muscles include reduced control over your urinary tract and bowels.
Much of our ability to give and receive pleasure during sex is lost through inactivity, which is often caused by busy lives. Pelvic floor exercises, also commonly called kegels, can have a dramatic often very fast effect on your life.
There are varying techniques that can be performed to strengthen the muscles and nerve pathways in your pelvis. When you complete a kegel, you should be feeling a contraction similar to that of stopping yourself peeing after you've already started, while also pretending to stop yourself from passing gas at the very same time. This can be somewhat of a tricky technique to get a grasp on, for some people as a properly performed kegel means nothing on your body should feel clenched and you should be breathing normally while doing them.
Pelvic floor exercises should be performed each and every day. Start by doing as many repetitions as you feel comfortable with and slowly working the numbers up into the hundreds if you wish. It's important to always stop short of complete failure, as you don't want to completely exhaust the muscles that allow you to control urination, bowel movements and sex -- unless you do them as a way to relax before going directly to sleep.
There are also different variations of a pelvic ball on the market, that can help isolate the muscles of the pelvis and let you know your working the right muscles. These balls can be quite effective, affordable and provide a lifetime of use when cleaned and stored properly. They're well worth the investment if you're having trouble kegeling on your own.
