Glory to the pleasure muscles!

Most often, in discussions and instructions, the pelvic floor muscles are associated with biological women, and especially women who have given birth. However, the pelvic floor muscles are found in absolutely everyone and taking care of them is important regardless of gender.

Physiology of the pelvic floor muscles

The pelvic floor muscles are a U-shaped, arch-like muscle group on the pelvic floor when viewed from below. The pelvic floor muscles contain the urethra and rectum in biological males, and the vagina in biological females. When the pelvic floor muscles contract, these organs are squeezed between the muscles and closed by the compression. The condition of the pelvic floor muscles is therefore important in the prevention and treatment of incontinence problems and prolapse in biological females.

The pelvic floor muscles play a key role in body control and supporting the posture of the entire body. They also support the lumbar spine, support the internal organs of the abdomen and pelvis, and work in cooperation with the diaphragm and the deeper abdominal and back muscles. The condition of the pelvic floor muscles therefore has a comprehensive impact on the health and well-being of the entire body!

Center of pleasure

The pelvic floor muscles are sometimes called love muscles, pleasure muscles or pleasure muscles. All of these names are well-deserved, as the condition of the pelvic floor muscles affects sexual health regardless of a person's gender. Pelvic floor muscle training can improve sensitivity and enhance the experience of orgasm. In biological men, pelvic floor muscle training can also strengthen erections and prevent and treat sexual dysfunctions. So it's definitely not about useless muscles!

Finding the pelvic floor muscles

Just like with any other exercise, it is important to use the right muscles when exercising your pelvic floor muscles. Before you start, make sure you can feel the muscles in your pelvic floor. One easy way to test this, regardless of gender, is to stop your urine stream while you are urinating. This is always done using your pelvic floor muscles. Remember, however, to use this only as a test, it is not intended as an actual pelvic floor muscle exercise.

Pelvic floor muscle exercises

The pelvic floor muscles are partly voluntary muscles and can be trained just like any other muscle. There are various pelvic floor muscle training instructions for many people, regardless of gender.

In general, however, training the pelvic floor muscles can help improve their strength, speed, endurance, and control. Maximum strength is needed for lifting and carrying heavy objects. Speed ​​strength is needed for sudden exertion, such as sneezing and coughing. Endurance strength is important for exercise and everyday tasks. It is worth practicing all of these qualities with some variation.

Geisha balls to the rescue

Geisha balls are a great tool for pelvic floor muscle exercises for biological women. Geisha balls make it easier to find the right muscles and give new dimensions to pelvic floor muscle training. Geisha balls are available in different sizes, made of different materials and in different weight options. Today, very popular options are sets of several geisha balls , where the weights of the balls vary. Weight gives the pelvic floor muscles more work, while simply keeping the balls inside requires activation of the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles can be strengthened in the simplest way by inserting a weighted geisha ball into the vagina and walking around at home. Using lubricant adds more challenge to the exercise, as the geisha ball tends to slip out easily if the pelvic floor muscles are not actively used.

Excessive tension can also cause problems

Many of us are used to constantly pulling our belly button in and, in doing so, also activating the pelvic floor muscles. The muscles are therefore constantly in a state of slight tension, and we may not even notice this ourselves. The pelvic floor muscles can also be tense due to stress or even nighttime teeth grinding, for example.

Constantly tense pelvic floor muscles do not function optimally. The problems they cause are often similar to those described for weak pelvic floor muscles. Trying to treat these symptoms by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can actually fuel the problem even more.

Tense pelvic floor muscles are not prepared to handle situations that require maximum strength or speed. For example, sneezing can cause urinary incontinence, even if there is nothing wrong with the pelvic floor muscles themselves.

It is possible that a person considers their pelvic floor muscles weak because they cannot consciously tense them more strongly. In this case, too, the pelvic floor muscles may already be tense, in which case the maximum tension is a smaller change compared to relaxed pelvic floor muscles.

Sometimes, however, the vagina feels “too tight” and intercourse or even using a tampon is uncomfortable, painful or impossible. These complaints are often caused by tight or constantly tense pelvic floor muscles. In biological men, tight pelvic floor muscles can also cause pain that radiates to, for example, the groin, lower abdomen, penis or inner thighs. If the pain persists, it is of course worth seeing a doctor to clarify the situation.

Also remember to relax

Relaxing the pelvic floor muscles is therefore at least as important as activating and training them.

There are many different ways to relax your pelvic floor muscles, and hopefully everyone will find their own. One easy way to find relaxation in your pelvic floor muscles is to use a mental image exercise where your pelvic floor muscles are like an elevator:

Imagine that the elevator is normally on the first floor. Take a deep breath in and exhale to let the elevator descend to the “basement”, i.e. let your pelvic floor relax. However, do not push your pelvic floor down, but let the muscles find their natural relaxed position.

Finding, activating, training and relaxing the muscles are all equally important. Pelvic floor muscle exercises are important, but you shouldn't put too much pressure on them either. Make pelvic floor muscle exercises part of your routine, for example in some everyday, recurring moment, such as when cooking. Sex, both alone and with a potential partner, is also good for the pelvic floor muscles.

In various problem situations, we warmly recommend that you seek the advice of a physiotherapist or doctor who specializes in pelvic floor muscles. At Erotiikan Aja, you can find many different geisha balls for training your pelvic floor muscles!

Take care of your pleasure muscles and enjoy the results.
