Having a strong pelvic floor can make orgasms stronger, longer, and better.

It can also increase sexual feeling, too! Below is all you need to know about your pelvic floor health and sex.

The pelvic floor is the region of muscles that reach from your pelvis to the coccyx (from your vulva region to your tailbone). They are the foundational muscles that keep all of your lower organs in place.

They are also responsible for keeping your urine in your bladder and your core strength on lock. Additionally, your pelvic floor is very important during pregnancy and post-natal recovery.

There is an old myth about the relationship between how many people you’ve banged and how loose your vagina will be which isn't true. The vagina is a muscle-packed area of the body and no amount of sex is going to determine your tightness.

Your entire vaginal system is linked to the strength of your pelvic floor. The only thing that makes your vagina looser is time and age and letting your pelvic floor weaken from lack of exercise.

That being said, there are many other reasons you might have a weak pelvic floor. Sexual trauma and childbirth can weaken your pelvic muscles over time and contribute to sexual pain. Some things are not in our control.

As we get older, we experience large shifts in hormones. We may find a decrease in natural lubrication and libido. A weak pelvic floor can further increase discomfort, leading to pain during sex for some women. Working out your pelvic floor can make orgasms stronger and better.

While having a strong pelvic floor will not make your vagina tighter, it can contribute to increased sexual wellness and pleasure. Doing Kegel exercises can tighten the pelvic floor, leading to increased sensitivity during sexual activity.
