4. Tune up your sex muscles
Technically there are no “sex specific” muscles per se, but certain areas tend to get used a lot during sexual play. Things like your forearms, pelvic floor muscles, lower back and abs all get used significantly during sex and it’s good to have your body parts in working order.
The one region that most people have chronically weak musculature in is in the pelvic floor region (also known as your PC muscle). Your PC muscle, or pubococcygeus muscle, is the hammock like muscle that stretches from the tail bone to the pubic bone (it cradles your groin area). It is the muscle that you can clench to stop the flow of urine when you’re peeing.
Doing Kegel exercises is a great way to start to get a relationship to your PC muscle and to give it a tune up. Try this: twice a week (say, on Monday and Thursday, to give yourself time in between for the muscle to rebuild) alternate rapidly pulsing sets of Kegels with sets of two second holds. If you’re just starting out, your PC muscle should feel a little bit tired by the end of your sets of pulses and holds. Keep it up, and over time you’ll experience stronger orgasms, and greater orgasmic control.
