Pelvic Floor Muscles – Nature’s Orgasm Booster

Stronger orgasms, greater sensitivity, and better control during sex — all of this is the result of a well-trained pelvic floor. And the best part? Pleasure can be learned.

What is the pelvic floor, and why is it important?

Many people don’t even know precisely where the pelvic floor muscles are located. Yet these deep muscles play a key role in our sexual wellbeing, regardless of gender.

According to sexologist and bodyworker Janine Hug, people often rely on their partner for sexual pleasure, thinking, “Make me feel good.” But sexuality, she says, is also a learnable skill — and strengthening the pelvic floor is one of the most effective ways to enhance sensitivity and control during intimacy.

Who is this important for?

For men, a strong pelvic floor improves erection control, helps maintain firmness, and can even help prevent premature ejaculation.

For women, trained pelvic muscles increase blood flow, heighten sensation during sex, and make orgasms more intense and fulfilling.

How do you train your pelvic floor?

The keyword: variability. It’s not just about tension — mindful relaxation is just as important. A popular exercise is the pelvic rocking: lying down, gently move your pelvis forward and backward in sync with your breathing. This not only activates the muscles but also teaches how to let go — a movement that directly translates to sexual experience.

Science and practice: the results are real

As men age, they’re more likely to face erectile difficulties. But according to participants in Janine Hug’s courses, regular pelvic floor training can improve function, even without medication.

“I no longer expect instant results like I did in my 20s,” says Markus, 50. “But the more I train, the better it works”.

Pain-free sex is possible — and trainable

For many women, pelvic floor work is a path to healing from pain and fear.

“I used to avoid sex because it was painful,” says Elizabeth, 60. “Just thinking about it made me tense. But now I’ve learned what it means to relax, to listen to my body — and I’ve opened myself back up to pleasure”.

Pleasure is a skill

Our sexual well-being isn’t just about hormones or desire. It’s deeply connected to body awareness and physical training, especially when it comes to the pelvic floor.

It’s not a miracle solution, but it's a solid foundation for a more fulfilling and conscious intimate life.
