4 Reasons to Do Pelvic Floor Exercises (And How!)

r. Emily Morse explaining the benefits of pelvic floor exercises.

If you want to unlock more sensation and elevate your sexual performance, you need to add pelvic floor exercises to your routine. Think of this muscle group as the “engine room” of your pleasure: the stronger it is, the more sensitive, responsive, and powerful your body becomes during intimacy.

Pelvic health is for everyone. For men, a strong pelvic floor is tied to better erection quality and performance. In fact, clinical outcomes show a 6-point increase in sexual function scores (IIEF-15) after focused pelvic floor treatment.


Here are four reasons why you need to prioritize your pelvic floor:

1. It Ends the “Mental Distraction”

Uncertainty about your body can make you overthink and hold back. Leakage affects 1 in 3 women — often triggered by HIIT workouts, postpartum recovery, or hormones — and it can show up during a laugh, a heavy lift, or even in the bedroom. By exercising your pelvic floor, you can stop worrying about a “mishap” and finally stay in the moment.

2. Stronger Muscles = More Powerful Orgasms

Physically speaking, an orgasm is a series of rapid muscle contractions. When your pelvic floor is toned, those contractions are significantly more intense. Plus, a healthy pelvic floor increases blood flow to the entire region, which is the secret sauce for higher arousal and easier climaxes.

3. It Isn’t Just for “Older” People

Pelvic health isn’t a “senior” issue; it’s a proactive power move for anyone at any age. Whether you’re 25 or 65, your pelvic floor reacts to high-impact training, pregnancy, and even daily stress. Keeping it strong is a form of sexual fitness that ensures you’re always ready for pleasure.

4. Better Connection and Sensation

A strong pelvic floor provides a better “grip” and increased friction. This isn’t just about your partner’s experience; it’s about yours. Toned muscles allow for better stimulation of internal nerve endings, making every touch and movement feel more electric.


So, how do you actually strengthen your pelvic floor?

To exercise your pelvic floor, one of the most effective methods is the Kegel. Imagine you are trying to stop yourself from peeing. You want to squeeze and lift those internal muscles.

  • The Technique: Contract the muscles for 3–5 seconds, then relax for 3–5 seconds.
  • The Trap: Don’t hold your breath or squeeze your glutes and thighs. The movement should be internal.
  • The Routine: Aim for 3 sets of 10 repetitions a day.

With practice, you can start to see the benefits of Kegels, as long as you stay consistent.


The “Cheat Code”: Meet the Kegel Throne

If you want the benefits of a pelvic floor workout without the guesswork, you can try the Emsella Chair, a.k.a. the “Kegel Throne”.

Instead of worrying whether you’re doing your Kegels correctly or struggling to remember your daily reps, you simply sit on the Emsella Chair fully clothed for 28 minutes. It uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate thousands of “supramaximal” contractions.

The Mind-Blowing Stat:

One single 28-minute session is the equivalent of doing 11,000 manual Kegels. Because it reaches the deep pelvic floor muscles that manual exercises often miss, it acts as the ultimate tool for both core stability and sexual fitness.

The Results are Real:

  • 71% reduction in pad use for those with leakage.
  • 77% improvement in quality of life at the 6-month mark.
  • Clinically proven increases in orgasm frequency, intensity, and overall arousal.

How to Take Your Seat:

The Emsella is a specialized medical-grade device that you can only get access to through certified providers. Just go to BTL’s official website and use their “Find a Provider” tool to find a provider near you.


Wait! Read This Before You Squeeze

Before you start a new routine, it is crucial to consult with a pelvic floor physical therapist or a medical professional. Not all pelvic floor issues are solved by Kegels. If your pelvic floor is hypertonic (meaning it’s already overly tight), doing Kegels can actually worsen pelvic pain, tension, or discomfort. Similarly, they may not be the solution for severe organ prolapse or nerve damage. A pro can help you determine if you need to strengthen or if you actually need to learn to relax those muscles first.


A Healthy Pelvic Floor = Better Sex

This is your sign to start caring about your pelvic floor health. You deserve to experience unapologetic pleasure, total bodily confidence, and the kind of mental presence that turns good sex into life-changing sex.
