An intimate place to crack nuts

In Thailand, there are craftswomen who blow out candles with a vagina, suck (not permanently) apples with it and wear champagne in the same place. Although, according to the sexologist Elena Gorban, for any woman to control intimate muscles and not know sexual problems is the norm.

- No doubt, most of us are not averse to surprising men with such miracles, to become unique in bed, but you can’t swallow a jade egg with a vagina once or twice. It is not for nothing that exercises for the development of intimate muscles have been passed down as a secret art since the times of Ancient India and China. Today it is not a problem to go to a sex shop for eggs, but then what to do with them? And are they so miraculous?
- If we are talking about simulators, then today I would call vaginal balls more convenient. They are made from a medical polymer, which is more suitable for contact with the mucous membrane. They come in different sizes: the smaller, the harder it is to hold, the stronger the muscles.

Have eggs gone out of fashion?
Why not? Jade eggs can also be used. Simply, unlike vaginal balls, a stone egg cannot be polished to perfection, especially the hole for attaching the thread. Invisible cracks, chips can injure the walls of the vaginal canal. Given that the simulator must be kept for 6 - 8 hours a day.

- Directly some kind of working regime: took a shower, brushed his teeth, inserted an egg. Isn't it too fanatical?
- It all depends on the condition of the muscles of the vagina. The vaginal egg gives compression to the lower part of the vaginal canal. We do not think, for example, that when we cough, laugh, cry, jump, we weaken the muscles of the perineum. Therefore, the presence of an egg during the day contributes to the constant control of the muscles.

– How to handle the egg or vaginal balls?
- The first lessons may not seem very pleasant. Prepare yourself, arrange a little foreplay so that your vagina is set to receive a foreign object. Does not work? Moisten your vagina with a lubricant (intimate lubricant). Then carefully insert the egg with the thick end first. Stand in the position of the rider: the back is even, the legs are shoulder-width apart, slightly bent at the knees and ankles. Squeeze the muscles of the anterior part and the entrance to the vagina, the egg remains where it was placed. This group of muscles is responsible for completely closing the hole, so their contraction will not allow the egg to fall.
Try to squeeze the deeper muscles of the vagina, which are located near the cervix itself. Keep both sections of the vagina closed, but do not overstretch the muscles.
Slowly contract the third section of the vagina, which consists of the muscles in the middle of the vaginal canal. Squeeze it until you feel that the egg is tightly grasped. Then start slowly pushing the egg up and down. Gradually speed up the pace of movement. Take a break for a few minutes.
Using the second part of the vagina, try to move the egg to the right and left.
Now try to rock the egg from side to side, keeping it in the second and first sections of the vagina.
Combine all movements: tightening, moving up and down, left and right, wiggle. If it is difficult, try to imagine the process in your imagination.

- If it doesn’t work out, the muscles are not felt, the egg falls out?
Don't expect instant results. Very often, as a result of stretching during childbirth, the pelvic muscles in a relaxed state do not create a sufficient narrowing of the vaginal canal, and the egg does not hold until the muscles come into a certain tone as a result of training. Try the following: insert the lubricated egg and then your finger about one joint until it makes contact with the egg. It will turn out as if the finger supports the egg and does not allow it to fall out with relaxed muscles. By tightening the muscles, with your finger you will feel how the egg has come off the finger, hold it in the upper position for a few seconds, then relax, and let the egg fall back onto the finger. Try to keep the egg as long as possible, wear it only at home for now.
The main thing is to feel the muscles of the vagina, repeat the exercises both with and without the egg. In transport, in line, at the stove, during a conversation, and anywhere, work with your muscles. Be sure to alternate muscle contraction with relaxation, as muscle fibers are strengthened during rest. In the process of training, you can improve by replacing the machines with smaller and sleeker ones. The most effective are small heavy metal balls with a smooth surface. You can also enter two balls at the same time and learn to push them against each other.
By doing this consistently, you will see progress. After some time, wearing the egg will increase tactile sensitivity. Due to muscle training, the vaginal canal will narrow, which will lead to increased sexual sensations.

- Isn't it dangerous to keep the uterus in tension?
- In no case should you do exercises with uterine prolapse, sexually transmitted diseases, you should not be zealous 1-2 days before and during menstruation, as pain may increase due to excessive muscle load.

Are there signs of uterine prolapse?
- Starting from the age of 25-30, in the absence of training, natural age-related changes begin to appear in the muscular system of our body: tone, strength and mass of muscle tissue are lost. In the absence of muscle work, the aging process is accelerated. Sexual intercourse and repeated childbirth gradually smooth out the folds of the vagina, stretch its walls, the vagina becomes wider and longer, losing its former elasticity. The space between the walls increases noticeably, to the extent that air and water freely enter and exit. A finger in the vagina can calmly describe a circle.
Often the first signs, especially in young women: problems with the onset of orgasm, weakening of sexual sensations, air entering the vagina, decreased satisfaction of the sexual partner. In women who use tampons during their period, spotting leaks out between the tampon and the stretched walls of the vagina.
A more vivid manifestation of uterine prolapse (prolapse) is incontinence of urine, stool, gases, frequent urination. A more significant prolapse is accompanied by an extremely unpleasant sensation of prolapsed organs in the perineal region, a deterioration in their blood flow and, consequently, the appearance of pain, varicose veins, and atrophy. There are serious problems with urination and defecation: a woman is forced to take an unusual position or help herself with her hand to go to the toilet. Sexual intercourse is extremely difficult or impossible.

Vumbilding (imbilding)
- a training technique for strengthening the pelvic muscles in order to acquire the natural and necessary skills to master them in sex, during pregnancy, childbirth and the prevention of various female diseases.

- What to do?
- Recover! All organs of the small pelvis (uterus, vagina, bladder, urethra, rectum) are fixed to the bone walls of the small pelvis with the help of a strong ligamentous-fascial and muscular apparatus, called the pelvic floor muscles. The reason for the weakening of the muscles of the pelvic floor can be childbirth, especially if there were two or more of them, if they proceeded with complications, with poorly healed tears, the use of obstetric forceps; age-related changes, which is especially significant after the onset of menopause; heavy physical labor; weight lifting; chronic cough; chronic constipation; obesity; inactive lifestyle.
Weakened muscles cannot cope with the main function - holding the pelvic organs, which can lead to various diseases, as well as a deterioration in sexual life. To exclude a surgical operation, you need to change your lifestyle, diet, water intake, give up bad habits, regularly load the body and have a good rest. After a set of exercises, as a rule, signs of urinary incontinence disappear, blood circulation in the pelvic area increases, increasing the duration of ovarian function. And this means that sex hormones continue to be released and the woman remains young and sexy. The problems associated with menopause are postponed: early aging, deterioration of the skin and bones.

– Is it possible to feel these muscles of the pelvic floor?
- It is not difficult to identify them: sit on the toilet, spread your legs. Try to stop the stream of urine without moving your legs. The muscles that are used for this are the pelvic floor muscles.

– Is it true that intermittent urination is one of the exercises to improve the tone of the vagina?
– Only partially. Interruption of urination gives compression of the anterior wall of the vaginal canal. The retraction of the anus is responsible for the narrowing of the vagina from behind (the strongest side) and from the sides. Although the anus is automatically retracted when urination is interrupted, the woman at the same time focuses on the force of interrupting urination, the force from the front, and should focus no less on retracting the anus - narrowing the vaginal canal will then be much more effective.

- How to work with these muscles?
- With minimal muscle effort, squeeze only the anus several times. Now also the entrance. When you feel the difference, switch to alternate compression. To assess the strength of the contraction of the muscles of entry, look through the mirror at these contractions. Start with slow contractions: contract your muscles as you would to stop urination; slowly count to three; relax. Repeat this exercise 3-4 times.
The muscles that stopped urination are squeezed and unclenched to lung sexual arousal. During the act, when the partner will stimulate the anterior wall, strain these muscles to the beat. Both feelings will change for the better. Then tighten and relax the sexual muscles as quickly as possible. And so do 3-4 times. Relax.
The third approach: push, as in a chair or childbirth. Do at least 10 times. Do exercises every day in a calm rhythm, the main thing is not to overstrain. Each week, add five additional squeezes, contractions, and pushes. It is important to clearly relax the muscles and clearly strain them, reaching the marks of maximum relaxation and maximum compression. Make sure that your breathing is even, without delays with the maximum retraction of the pelvic floor muscles. While doing the exercises, listen to your feelings, do not do the exercises automatically and unconsciously, feel the contraction of the muscles, the rush of blood.

– Are there any criteria for even breathing?
- Imagine that the lungs are in the lower abdomen. When they are filled with air, the stomach swells - this is an inhalation, and when the abdominal muscles compress it, an exhalation occurs. The easiest way to master this breathing is in the supine position with bent knees. It is necessary to put one hand on the stomach (it will move up and down), and the other on the chest (it is motionless).
So, only the stomach moves: on inhalation - up, on exhalation - down. Once you've mastered lying down, move to a standing position. In a standing position, breathe rhythmically with your stomach, with an emphasis on removing it, that is, exhaling.
Do not allow the chest to rise when the abdomen is drawn in, while exhalation does not occur, or it is delayed. When drawing in the abdomen, relax and let the air leave the lungs - only the stomach works.
Inhalation: when the abdomen is blown out, a too deep breath occurs, that is, excess air is already taken in due to the expansion of the chest. When inhaling with your stomach, stop in time, do not inhale more than your stomach can take. Imagine how the air, gaining in an imaginary balloon in the stomach, passes down, as it were, past the chest.

- When the abdomen relaxes, does the anus also relax?
- Not! In the supine position, learn to retract the anus in the inhalation phase with the stomach. You can first start breathing with your stomach (breathing should already be mastered to automatism, the chest does not rise, the stomach is relaxed on inspiration), then, by a third of the force or even weaker, begin to draw in the anus on inspiration, that is, while lifting the abdomen. The anus must first be drawn in so weakly that the inhalation with the stomach does not change in any way (so that the stomach does not tense up, the amplitude of its rise does not decrease). It is very important to feel two actions at the same time: the rise of a relaxed abdomen and the retraction of the anus.

- It's not easy with this!
- To learn how to draw in the anus as deeply as possible, feel the sphincter (annular muscle surrounding the anus). At first, it is the compression of the anus that is felt better and worse - its retraction upwards. To catch the retraction of the anus, you can squat or on the toilet, insert a lubricated index finger into the anus, or simply put the tip of your finger to the anus without insertion. In this action, learn to squeeze your finger harder.
The next stage: together with the contraction, the anus is drawn upwards. Feel how the muscles inside the pelvis pull it up. For a better feeling of the muscles, you must first perform compression-pull-ups slowly. After you catch the upward movement of the anus and the muscles that do it, learn to hold the contraction for at least a few seconds and at the same time listen to the working muscles. When this becomes possible, you can slightly increase the retraction of the anus.
As a result, you will achieve maximum retraction and retention of the anus for several cycles of breathing with the stomach.
As you master the exercise, you will feel: the pelvic floor muscles are independent of the press. They work in the same way with a tightened stomach or a relaxed one, and accordingly, the tension of the abdominal muscles will not increase when the anus is retracted. And also with the joint tension of the muscles of the pelvic floor and the press, the former will be well felt, and not lost against the background of the press.

- How to find out if the exercises are performed correctly?
– Place one or two lubricated fingers into the vagina. You will feel where and how it is compressed, which wall is the weakest, the trained muscles will declare themselves with a ribbed surface, the weak ones are like the surface of the inner side of the cheek.

- And how long will it take to put the female organs in order?
- The pelvic muscles generally slowly progress in development. With an average intensity of training for 30 minutes a day for 2-3 months, the muscles of the pelvic floor are strengthened, the threat of prolapse of internal organs is reduced, the cycle is normalized, and blood circulation improves. The next 2-3 months, with the same intensity of exercise, the abdominal muscles become elastic and strong. Their work stimulates the production of female hormones that normalize the hormonal background, help cure hormone-dependent diseases: polyps, endometrium in the uterus and cervix, fibroids, ovarian cysts.
The more often you work with intimate muscles, the more intensively they are washed with blood and receive more oxygen. The premenopausal period runs more smoothly, menopause comes later. Strengthening the pelvic muscles contributes to the fact that the descending organs of the small pelvis take their physiological position, that is, they rise. Already in the process of training, many women begin to experience a vaginal orgasm for the first time. On average, muscle recovery takes six months. To enhance the effect during exercise, you can hold an object in the vagina.

Is it enough to build muscles once in a lifetime?
- This should always be done. As long as a person's reproductive systems are actively functioning, he lives. There was a break, stagnation - the body includes a system of self-destruction, extinction. The more often and longer there were breaks in sex, the faster the aging mechanisms turn on.
In addition to the exercises I have listed, the muscles develop and support belly dance, Pilates, and yoga. Well strengthens the vaginal muscles cycling, exercise bike.
Do not forget that the body is an integral system, and you need to develop the muscles associated with the vaginal. Regularly do exercises to strengthen the muscles of the press, pelvis, buttocks, legs, back. After all, any developed muscles require nutrition, the body replenishes this with blood circulation, which is better, the stronger the muscles.

- That is, the blood vessels provide the muscles with nutrition?
- Under the condition of constant work of the vaginal muscles, the entire reproductive system of a woman is supported. This facilitates the process of childbirth, after which the integrity of the vagina is restored faster and better, postpartum scars become thinner. Due to the natural maintenance of the blood circulation of the reproductive system, the ovaries and other appendages of the uterus are saturated. Stimulates hormonal metabolism, reduces the risk of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. With intimate physical education, you can count on high-quality long-term performance of your functions by the entire reproductive system.

- Do these exercises affect not only postpartum recovery, but also childbirth?
– The ability to control the tension and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles makes childbirth faster and less painful. To prepare for childbirth, you can work out pushing out the balls, the diameter of which gradually increases. Due to this, the vaginal canal and ligamentous apparatus are strengthened, the elasticity of the muscles increases. This reduces the chance of tears or cuts during childbirth.

- Do men have problems with intimate muscles?
- Certainly. Yogis demonstrate unique abilities: some can suck sperm back due to the vacuum created by the muscular expansion of the bladder. Some are only capable of brushing rather heavy objects off the table with the movement of the phallus. And some craftsmen manage to turn the pages of the book. In everyday life, this is difficult to achieve, and to no avail. But learning to control the muscles of the penis is not difficult.
To do this, stand naked in front of a mirror and try to squeeze the muscles, as is done after urination. For some, the penis will noticeably move, for others the movement will be subtle, and for some, nothing will move at all. It is worth starting, as in the female case, with intermittent urination, and as you continue, you should strive to make the stream more powerful; the pressure weakens - stop; inhale, exhale - gained strength and again a powerful continuation. If such an act is made habitual, then by old age there will be no troubles.
The next stage of training is to achieve the ability to work the muscles of the anus separately: relax, concentrate and move your penis a little, but you need to feel only these muscles, the anal ones do not work. It is beneficial for the quality of erection and defecation, as well as the feeling of a blissful orgasm. But that's another story.
