Are you tired of the same predictable dinner date? If your relationship needs a little excitement, it’s time to ditch the expensive gifts and focus on a different kind of “connection.”
This year, intimate wellness brand INTIMINA challenges couples to exchange the sweets for a surprising workout: Kegel exercises.
Pelvic Floor 101: The Underrated Muscle
Before you start, you need to know what you are training. The pelvic floor is a ‘hammock’ of muscles that supports your vital organs.
- For women: It supports the bladder, uterus and intestines. Life events such as childbirth or aging can weaken these muscles, leading to leaking or discomfort.
- For men: It’s just as important! It supports the bladder and plays a key role achieving and maintaining strong erections.
“Nearly 1 in 3 women experience problems such as leaking,” says Dr Susanna Unsworth. “But these problems are not limited to women. For men, pelvic floor exercises can improve erectile function, self-confidence and overall well-being.”
The ‘pleasure principle’
Why Kegels Together? Because power = sensation. Tightening the pelvic floor increases blood flow to the genital area, which increases sensitivity for both partners. By synchronizing your squeezes, breathing, and eye contact, you turn a simple exercise into a powerful bonding ritual.
The Kegel starter pack for your couples
The best part? No gym required. You can do these anywhere.
1. The basic squeeze (isolation)
- The move: Imagine trying to stop the flow of urine or hold back gas.
- The Count: Squeeze and hold 3–4 seconds (aiming for 10). Repeat 10-15 times.
- The rule: Don’t hold your breath! Keep your stomach and glutes relaxed.
- Couples twist: Make eye contact and try to have a conversation while squeezing. The first one to laugh loses.
2. The power game (variety)
- Mix long, slow holds with short, fast-twitch squeezes.
- Vary your positions (sitting versus lying down) to activate the muscles in a different way.
3. Smart training (for women)
If you want measurable progress, a device like the KegelSmart 2 acts as a personal coach. It vibrates to tell you exactly when to squeeze and rest, tailoring the routine to your current strength level.
When will you see results?
Consistency is the secret sauce.
- A few weeks: You will start to notice the first changes.
- A few months: Significant improvements in bladder control and sexual sensation.
Just order 5-10 minutes per day Following this shared routine can have a profound impact on your health and your intimacy. Squeeze, stay connected.
