Do you know how your pelvic floor muscles are involved in the seggsual response cycle? 🔥

In the first phase the bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus, & pubococcygeus contract in order to hold blood in the erectile tissues. For those who have a p***s, this will present as an er****on of the p***s and in v***a owners there will be swelling of the cl****is and l***a minora 🤯

An or**sm💦 will produce rapid muscle contractions of primarily the superficial pelvic floor muscles (bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus, and pubococcygeus).

Masters & Johnson found through direct observation🔎 that a p***s owners’ or**sm lasts approximately ✨10-30 seconds✨ while a v***a owners’ or**sm lasts about ✨13-51 seconds✨

Interestingly, the interval of contraction is exactly the same for all genders -once every 0.8 seconds. So, you do the math-it’s a lot.

Overall, Huang concluded, "The differences between the groups were modest, and there was still some possibility that they could have occurred by chance. We believe that our findings suggest that many of the potential benefits of pelvic yoga for women with urinary incontinence may be shared with more general low-impact muscle conditioning exercise."

Over 12 weeks, the average reduction in total UI frequency was 2.3 episodes per day among those in the pelvic yoga program compared with 1.9 episodes per day among those in the general physical conditioning program.
