How to Tap into the Power of Pilates for Mind-Blowing Sex!

Pilates is known to offer many health and wellness benefits. This exercise can also make you feel stronger, more flexible, and more confident about your body. But did you know Pilates can also contribute to a healthier and more fulfilling sex life? In this article, let’s get a closer look at how Pilates can help you enjoy sex better. 

Tones your pelvic floor 

Our pelvic floor muscles are a fundamental part of the core of the body. These muscles play an important role in stabilising the pelvis and supporting the organs within the lower abdominal cavity, such as the bladder and uterus, as well as the Pubococcygeus, also known as the PC or PCG muscle, which forms around the urethra, vagina, and anus. When the pelvic floor weakens, this muscle is affected and can lead to issues like incontinence and diminished sexual enjoyment. 

Kegels is a type of physical therapy exercise that can help strengthen pelvic floor muscles. It’s done by squeezing the muscles in the pelvic region, which is similar to stopping the flow of urine when you are peeing. Hold it for 10 seconds and repeat it 10-20 times per day. Regular Kegels can optimise sexual function, leading to better satisfaction during intercourse. In addition, blood flow to the pelvic areas also improves, which boosts sensitivity in the genitals, resulting in increased arousal. 

Pelvic floor exercises aren’t just for women, as they can benefit men as well by strengthening the muscles that support the bladder and bowel as well as affect sexual function. For example, men who are experiencing urinary or fecal incontinence may find doing Kegel exercises help them gain better control of these issues. 

Strengthens your core

A powerful core ensures you have better body control while protecting your spine, reducing the risk of injury and maintaining optimal balance and stability of the body. As most sex positions require core strength, powering up this part of your body can help increase sexual fulfilment and add variety to your sex life.

Building the core also helps you to become more physically active, which leads to more energy and stamina. All these benefits translate into an improved sexual experience with your partner. Pilates also taps into endurance training, resulting in a stronger core. For men, this helps them to improve thrust and last longer in bed. 

Enhance focus and concentration

Nothing kills the sexy mood faster than a distracted partner. Through Pilates, you can train your mind to concentrate better as exercises and moves are based on a harmony of mind, body and spirit. By focusing on your breathing and having a mindful stance while having sex, you can enrich the experience and connect more intimately with your partner. 

A good sex life leads to a more fulfilling and higher quality of life. Pilates can help you spice things up in the bedroom by improving your mobility, flexibility, balance, and well-being.
