His and Her Health

I was wondering to know more about the sexual benefits of a good excercise routine. I'm a relatively active person, in good cardiovascular health, but, I'd like to know more about Kegels. Anyone know of a website where I can find more info? Or perhaps, it's on this website?.....

Find a post by zaneblue.<P>Look at her profile, and email her. She is a wealth of info on this topic. (She's a Grand Master (Mistress?) of Kegels!)<P>Cheers,<BR>Greg

I'm a strong believer in resistance training. Weights are used to build up muscles on other parts of the body, why not PC muscles too? Studies have shown using weights is more effective in toning PC muscles than Kegels alone (the studies were for urinary incontinence, but a muscle's a muscle). I personally recommend vaginal cone weights. They look like tampons. A set comes with five of them, all the same size, but increasingly heavy. They are used by inserting just like a tampon, and then you walk around the house for twenty minutes using your PC muscles to keep it from coming out. Do this twice a week, slowly building up to the heaviest weight. The most popular brand is FemTone, but I've noticed others on the Internet too, which I assume would work as well.<P>Once you have achieved this tone, you can go farther with a stone egg (exactly like the kind you find in gift shops) and/or a Kegelcisor.<P>Oh, and the benefits: you of course get the ability to voluntarily tighten things up down there during sex. It improves the strength of all kinds of orgasm because like building any muscle, it increases bloodflow to the area. And it may give you the ability to have vaginal orgasms if you don't already have them, and if you do have them it should make them faster, easier and much, much stronger.<p>[This message has been edited by zaneblue (edited 03 December 2003).]

ZaneBlue,<P>You give such wonderful and informed advice... especially on "Kegeling".<P>Hope you keep it up. <P>

Why thank you. I can't seem to help myself. Part of it is that I want to spread the joy, and part of it is that I just want to be "normal." If every woman can do what I do, then I'd just be the woman next door.<P>What sort of books do you write?

Hi, Zaneblue <P>I wish all adults -- both female and male -- would take the time to educate themselves sexually, such as you have. Through knowledge, we empower and liberate ourselves and stop the cycle of being a "hapless victims" in the bedroom, and thus avoid needless problems. I personally believe that an open and frank class should be taught in our high schools to educate our youth about sex, including understanding safer-sex practices and the benefits of the Kegel exercises. <P>Until that happens, here's a big thumbs up to you for being educated.
