Women’s ability to have orgasms can be improved through posture training that incorporates pelvic floor exercises.

Most pelvic floor exercises still focus exclusively on the sphincter muscles—that is, the muscles that surround the vagina and anus. Kegel exercises are examples of such sphincter exercises. Over time, overtraining these muscles can lead to hemorrhoids, bladder irritation or inflammation, vaginal narrowing, and discomfort during sexual intercourse.

There is a pelvic floor—which is actually a floor within the pelvis, as opposed to the sphincter muscles—anatomically known as the levator ani. And it can do so much more than just lift the anus (which it certainly can). It supports the abdominal organs—the bladder, intestines, uterus, and fallopian tubes. When it is perfectly extended and aligned within the pelvis, it holds these organs in place and massages them with every step. This pulsating stimulation of the abdomen also stimulates the nerves. The alignment of this organ-supporting muscle keeps the vagina long and narrow, which inevitably leads to increased pleasure. The sphincter muscles are gently trained along with it, yet never overtrained, so that they can close and open in a relaxed manner. This ability to respond appropriately to different situations is important for elimination, and it is important for sexual pleasure.
