Kegel Exercises for Better Orgasms?

Women notoriously have a harder time sexually climaxing. Also, after women give birth to a child, they say they feel as though they've lost their sex drive, and also that their vagina is not as "tight" and as capable of achieving orgasms. Kegel exercises, named after a now infamous doctor, can help women in both of these departments, as well as an added benefit to strengthening the urinary tract and preventing incontinence, often induced in women as they age.

In the 1940's, Dr. Arnold Kegel, a gynecologist, recommended these exercises for his patients to avoid stress incontinence after childbirth. Thus, the name, Kegel exercises persists today.

Women often have problems with stress incontinence in the time after childbirth as well as in older age, and Kegels really help keep that in check and even prevent it, since the muscles controlling the urine flow are in shape.

Kegel exercises can also increase circulation to vital areas of your system such as the rectum and the vagina, both of which may become more functional and healthier since blood contains oxygen, and oxygen essentially breathes life into any living body part or organism. Makes sense, right. For women who are pregnant, Kegel exercises can speed healing from an episiotomy done during childbirth. Also, Kegel exercises can reduce the chance of developing hemorrhoids from childbirth.

A Kegel exercise consists of a squeezing and lifting action of your vaginal wall muscles. While doing a Kegel exercise, do not tighten your tummy, buttocks or leg muscles. Hold the Kegel exercise for about 10 seconds then relax for a few seconds.

Kegel exercises should be done in sets of ten, three or four times during the day. When you first start, just do a few at a time, several times a day, then work your way up to sets of ten.

Kegel exercises will assist a pregnant woman to have an easier delivery as the pelvic floor muscles will be more toned. The likelihood of tearing during delivery will be reduced.

While sitting on the toilet, try to stop the flow of your urine in midstream. This is a variation of the Kegel exercise that is very powerful, and can really be a convenient way to do the exercise, completely privately. If you can do this, these muscles are in good condition. If not, try doing Kegel exercises, and you will see a difference.

Here's another way to think of and visualize the Kegel exercise, envision it as "winking" your vagina, if you will"winking" your vagina. Positioning in various ways while doing Kegel exercises can further tone your pelvic floor. Try doing Kegel exercises while lying down, sitting up, squatting and on all fours.

Kegel exercises can help women at other times in life than just while they are pregnant. They can make sex with your partner more enjoyable at any time, not just during the postpartum phase.

These infamous exercises also may help women prevent or reduce the risk of developing stress incontinence (urinary issues, not just a weak bladder), an overactive bladder which can be a major nuisance, and a prolapsed uterus. Many women report having stronger more satisfying and multiple orgasms after an ongoing routine of Kegel exercises done correctly.

Later in life, after menopause, Kegel exercises done as a routine from midlife on, can increase vaginal wall thickness and lubrication. In addition to reducing the risk of urinary incontinence, Kegel exercises can prevent or reverse rectal incontinence.

It will usually take about 3 or 4 weeks to see an improvement in stress incontinence from a routine of Kegel exercises.
