Enjoy the sexual benefits of a healthy pelvic floor.
Along with bladder problems, many women experience sexual issues such as painful intercourse and unsatisfactory orgasms as a result of a weakened pelvic floor.
Exercising the pelvic floor muscles as detailed in The Accidental Sisterhood Progressive Plan featured at The Sisterhood Health Forum helps improve vaginal tightness, which results in the following benefits, according to Susan Kellogg, Ph.D., director of sexual medicine at the Pelvic and Sexual Health Institute in Philadelphia:
“Having a strong pelvic floor has the potential to help a woman sexually in several ways. Exercising any muscle group increases blood flow to that muscle group. Increased blood flow during arousal causes increases in lubrication and engorgement of the clitoris during intercourse. The ability to feel and enjoy the movement of the penis is related to the tone of the vaginal muscles. Last, since these muscles contract during orgasm, a woman may feel stronger and more pleasurable sensations when the muscles have adequate tone.”
