Do Vagina Tightening Exercises Lead to Better Sex?

Exercising your vagina and strengthen your pelvic floor for better sex. Is that really a thing? Yes, and if you are not doing it … now is the time to start. See why these magical exercises are actually not vaginal tightening exercises like so many believe.

What is a Tight Vagina?

The feeling of “tightness” of your vaginal muscles during intercourse is primarily due to the muscles surrounding your vagina. These muscles make up your pelvic floor. And if those muscles are strong and responsive, it can lead to stronger and more frequent orgasms (internal ones too). This can improve sensations for both you and your partner. An appropriately toned pelvic floor will have optimal contracting and relaxing during your orgasms. While you DO want a strong pelvic floor, you DO NOT want a tight one.

Many believe pelvic floor exercises are vagina tightening exercises. But to "tighten the vagina" you actually are using your pelvic floor muscles making them stronger and flexible. At the same time also strengthening your deep core muscles. The best exercises for most women to strengthen these important muscles contain both eccentric and concentric contractions. This leads to a vagina that isn't just strong but also flexible and responsive.

Symptoms and Issues From a Tight Pelvic Floor

Having a tight pelvic floor (hypertonic) can lead to a myriad of issues and dysfunction. Common issues include painful intercourse, lower back pain, pelvic and tailbone pain, trouble orgasming. Even urinary incontinence (peeing when you sneeze or jump), constipation, and other bladder and bowel issues can arise. It is a hard concept for some women to grasp because most of us believe we should be “tight.” What about Kegel exercises? I don't recommend them for many reasons.
