  • Strong PC muscles result in stronger sensations during arousal and orgasm. Squeezing them during sex can enhance the orgasmic pleasure for women.

Here's how to perform Kegel exercises

  • To start with, sit in a relaxed position with your legs slightly apart or lie down on your back with the knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
  •  Now focus and start contracting the PC muscles as tightly as you can, 30 to 50 repetitions in rapid succession.
  •  Breathe freely throughout. After this, contract and hold the PC muscles for 5 seconds and then relax for 5 seconds, gradually increasing this to 10 second contractions and 10 second relaxation. 
  • As you master this, keep introducing variations by holding the contractions for longer duration with equal rest intervals.

Don't assume that he or she is the expert

Sex therapy can also work to maintain your sexual health

  • Before you come to a decision to see a sex therapist, take the time to dig in and explore whether it is truly what you need.

  • Even though you may be anxious or excited, do not jump to it. 
  • Take your time and give the other person time to warm up by indulging in extended foreplay. 
  • Make sure you are amply aroused before intercourse. Else sex can be more of a pain than pleasure and it can really be a disastrous experience. 

Manage your aging sex life effectively

  • Masturbating, sensual massages, kissing, cuddling and maintaining open channels of communication are all essential to revive your interest in sex.
