Exercises To Do On Your Own

Fit For Sex

PC Pumping—contracting and relaxing the pubococcygeous muscles in your genital area—is your most important exercise for physical sexual fitness. To first feel this muscle group, stop and start the flow when you are urinating.

PC Pumping has many benefits for both men and women, including:

preventing or relieving incontinence

keeping a healthy prostate

increasing frequency and strength of orgasm for women

strengthening erection capacity

delaying ejaculation

Time for Exercise: four minutes

Properties Required: none

Steps:

Inhale slowly through your nose.

Count to five as you gently hold your breath.

Exhale slowly through your nose.

Inhale again and slowly tighten your PC muscles.

Hold your breath for a count of five as you hold the PC contraction.

As you slowly exhale, relax your PC muscles.

Repeat 24 more times.

Endeavor to keep the rest of your body relaxed during your PC contraction.

Comments:

You might find that, as you contract your PC muscles, other muscles tighten as well, such as your abdomen, shoulders, and buttocks. If you make PC Pumping a regular part of your life, you will gradually be able to stay relaxed while you contract specific muscles within the PC group. You can do PC Pumping anywhere and anytime, even while you are engaged in other activities such as driving, talking on the phone, or waiting in line. Build up to 100 or more PC squeezes per day.
