Pixies Place Forums - View Single Post - Have you done your Kegel today?

I learned all about Kegal exercises from a Med Student I dated in Nursing School. They have had a HUGE impact on my enjoyment of intercourse, which is kind of funny, since he taught me the exercises to increase HIS pleasure!! (MEN!!! LOL)
I love the look on men's faces when I start a rythmic squeeze and release!!

Just to mention it, there are a lot of other exercises that you can do that are more for your own pleasure than the man's. Many if not all of these have yoga origins.
(these are more or less right out of the class handouts, so I am not taking resposibility for bad grammar!)

Wear loose, comfortable clothes, or better yet do this in the nude (I do)

First three are general pelvic strength exercise that I learned in yoga.

1. Get on your hands and knees upon the floor leaning backwards so that your bottom rests on your feet. Take a deep breath, let it out and stretch your arms forwards, out away from your body as you take a deep breath in, filling your lungs totally with air. Move forward until your nipples are just grazing the floor. Hold your breath. With your "anal" muscles and pull your anal opening as deeply inward as you can. The best way I can describe this is it's like when you have had an enema and are trying with all your might to hold it in. Don't strain when squeezing. This is more exhausting than it sounds. Keep squeezing and relaxing 3-5 times, but not so long that you get short of breath. Then up on your hands and knees again. Relax a while in this position and then you can repeat.

2. Get on your back on the floor with your arms along your sides and relax, breathing out. Then breath in deeply while relaxing all the muscles you do not need for breathing. Breath out. When breathing out, squeeze your anal muscles and pull your anal opening as deeply inward as you can. Do not strain or get exhausted. After breathing out, relax your anal muscles again. Practice the breathing in and out while squeezing 3-8 times, but not so much that you get exhausted. Then relax again.

3. Again on your back on the floor, move your arms out completely in an arch up towards the ceiling over your head and then down to the floor over your head so that your whole body is stretched from head to toe. While swinging your arms, take a deep breath, filling your lungs totally with air. As you take a breath, holding the air inside, you squeeze your anal muscles and pull your anal opening as deeply inward as you can. Remember, do not strain when squeezing. Relax your anal muscles completely again, then repeat the squeezing and relaxing 3-5 times. Don't forget to move your arms back done to the floor at the same time as you empty your lungs. Do this for a few minutes, rest awhile and then you can repeat the exercise if you wish.

These increase your pelvic muscle strength and suppleness, and flexibility.
(Sorry guys, this was a Lesbian sexual yoga class, and I have no idea if these are helpful for men. they probably are, but I don't know for sure.)

This is a "more strength in bed" exercise I learned.
Start in the pushup position, arms extended. Engage your abs as you lower your body slowly toward the floor. Stop when your torso is about 2 to 3 inches away. Keeping elbows in, hold there for five breaths, then lower to the floor. Repeat three times at first and build up to five.

Remember, the stronger and more flexible you are, the better the sex.

Breathing is everything is yoga, and in sex, so here are some breathing exercises with a sexual bent

In a seated position, bring the soles of your feet together, put your hands on your ankles, allow your knees to relax toward the floor, and hinge forward at the hips as far as is comfortable. Hold for 10 to 15 complete breaths (inhales and exhales). If you are pregnant **check with your doctor first* or overweight, do this slowly, and don't expect to have the full range of motion untilyou have practiced this.
A breathing exercise that can cause a truly explosive orgasm-
While you're in the middle of intercourse, or nearing orgasm through other means, take rapid, forceful, and rhythmic breaths through your nose with your mouth closed. (Don't worry if your partner thinks you're hyperventilating) The results can be startling to say the least when you orgasm.

A personal note:
It feels so good to share this with you here in Pixies. I had almost abandoned being a sexual health educator, until a friend pointed out that I could share my training here.

If you wish me to stop, just private message me. I don't want to start a debate in the forums over this.

Love,
