The Special G-spot Summer Challenge – helping women discover a better orgasm! 2006 is the year that women will rediscover their pelvic floor and learn how to achieve a better orgasm. An estimated 90% of women have never had a vaginal orgasm during intercourse. Amora - the Academy of Sex and Relationships (due to open Summer 2006) has announced the largest survey ever undertaken of the female orgasm and, in conjunction with the manufacturers of the PelvicToner™ vaginal exerciser, is aiming to prove Kegel’s hypothesis – that effective daily pelvic floor exercise does more than just control incontinence! It’s over 50 years since Arnold Kegel identified the link between pelvic floor muscle tone and the ability to achieve vaginal (coital) orgasm – see Notes to Editors He also reported that many women who believed themselves to be sexually dysfunctional, because they had never achieved an orgasm, achieved their first orgasm following pelvic floor training. No significant quantitative research has been undertaken since then. Announcing the survey, Dr Sarah Brewer said: “Strengthening the female pelvic floor muscles tightens the vaginal embrace, increasing friction and pleasure during love-making, which benefits both partners. Clinical research shows the PelvicToner increases the strength of pelvic floor exercises by 28%, and improves resting pelvic muscle tone by almost 10%. As a result, four out of five women reported increased sexual satisfaction.’ The PelvicToner programme has been specially designed to make Kegel’s exercise routine accessible to all women. Kegel always recommended that the best exercises are those where the muscles are squeezed against a resistance and that there is a biofeedback to confirm that the correct muscles are being squeezed. The PelvicToner achieves both these objectives in a very simple and effective way - without the tubes and gadgets that Kegel’s patients had to endure. In a recent survey 84% of PelvicToner users said they noticed an improvement in their sex life in just 4 weeks. For the Amora survey thousands of women are being encouraged to record an anonymous diary of the development of their orgasmic achievements as they follow a programme of exercises using the PelvicToner. Women over 40 have a much broader repertoire of orgasmic experience than women in their 20’s and 30’s but the survey hopes to attract women of all ages to test the hypothesis.

Arnold H. Kegel "Sexual Functions of the Pubococcygeus Muscle "Western Journal of Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, 60, pp. 521-524, 1952 Research indicates that perhaps only 10% of women can achieve coital orgasm. "Female Orgasm: Role of Pubococcygeus Muscles" Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 40, pp. 348-351, 1979 All research since Kinsey's time has shown that women under 30 are NOT representative of women in general, since their orgasmic development (like other rights) is retarded in our society. Mary Jo Sholty, for example, showed that women in their 40s had a much broader repertoire of sexual behaviors (including types of orgasm) than those in their 30s, who had more than those in their 20s. Although they have perhaps engaged in intercourse more than their parents wished, most college students simply don't have enough experience (breadth) to know much about sex. Certainly young-never-marrieds should be excluded from all sex research that aims to generalize to adult women in the real world. John D. Perry, PhD Perry Research Institute 1984 Kegel recommended a routine of 300 squeezes a day against a resistance. This bears no comparison to the few ad hoc contractions against ‘thin air’ that most women may manage, if they exercise at all. The

Page 2 real sex benefits of effective sexercises only come with dedication and greater effort. The PelvicToner programme provides the motivation and means to exercise effectively. Exercising the pelvic floor builds the neural pathways between this most sensitive of areas and the brain, and develops a much greater awareness of the pelvic floor, the vaginal walls and the G spot. Exercise of any muscle increases blood flow to the area and helps develop nerve endings and stimulation. Anecdotal evidence consistently suggests that regular pelvic floor exercise leads to more frequent orgasms of greater intensity. Improving the pelvic floor muscle tone also increases contact between the vaginal wall and the penis and benefits both partners. In a recent survey of PelvicToner users 68% of respondents said they were more aware of their pelvic floor after just one week (92% after 2 weeks) and 68% noticed an improvement in their sex life after 2 weeks (84% after 4 weeks).
