Re: question for Elizabeth MazelisFrom: baloo (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 14 Apr 1998 14:31:22 -0700
I know this was for Elizabeth, but I am going to answer as well. I find that Kegels are of great value. They help in keeping in tone your pelvic floor. They help with incontinence, which many women deal with after childbirth. The following was taken from :http://www.homearts.com/rb/life/10sexfb4.htm If you've had a baby, you've no doubt been told to do Kegel exercises, which strengthen the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles that form the pelvic floor between the legs. Toning these muscles, which contract during orgasm, helps many women climax more easily; yet many of us skip this exercise or do it wrong. The correct way: Tighten your muscles as if to stop the flow of urine, and hold for three seconds. Relax for three seconds, then repeat, building up your repetitions to 30. According to Cynthia Mervis Watson, M.D., author of Love Potions, the exercise should be done with legs slightly apart rather than with thighs clamped together. You will find that you are drawing upward with your pelvis and will feel a tightening around your anus. If you find the exercise tiring, it may be that you're also tensing your buttocks and abdomen; try to isolate only your PC muscles. Hope this helps- Marna Engel Doula, SN jo wrote:
