If you're hoping to get some action going in the bedroom this Valentine's Day with your partner, don't worry about a low libido.
A simple trick can help to improve your night of romance.
Kegel exercises, also known as pelvic exercises used to strengthen your vaginal muscles, which support the uterus, bladder, small intestine and rectum. Kegel exercises can be done discreetly and at any time following step-by-step instructions for contracting and relaxing your pelvic floor muscles according to the Mayo Clinic.
They can be done during pregnancy or after childbirth to try and prevent urinary incontinence. And, along with counseling and sex therapy, it might also be helpful for women who have persistent difficult reaching orgasm to practice the exercises. However, women who have severe urine leakage when they sneeze, cough or laugh should be cautious of doing the exercise.
In order to strengthen the muslces, it's important to relax. Finding the muscles that strengthen the part of your body is essential to the strengthening process. This can be done by stopping urination midstream. Once the pelvic muscles have been identified, you can empty your bladder and lie on your back. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles, hold the contraction for five second and then release for five seconds. This can be done four to five times in a row until you're ready to work your way up to 10 second contractions. Remaining breathing is important and the exercises can be repeated up to three times a day with repetitions of 10.
Strengthening your Kegel muscles can certainly help improve some passion in the boudeau.
According to Dr. Laura Berman from Oprah.com, "But if you just use your muscles, strengthen your muscles, you can squeeze around a pencil if you need to."
That might wow your partner this holiday.
