.:  Love Muscle Exercises

You can't just read a book about Tantra and expect to experience all the pleasures at once. With any discipline the more you practice and exercise the more you will learn and master the practice.

Sex has a great role within the Tantra system. Practicing yoga-like breathing techniques while having sexual contact in all forms to bring euphoria, self awareness and a closer bond with your partner.

If you are not too sure about the spiritual/religious side to Tantra there are still lots of things you can learn about your body. Here are some simple exercises you can perform that will improve your sexual self awareness.

Fire Muscle or Love Muscle - (PC) pubococcygeal muscle

If you don't know medical terminology the pubococcygeal muscle is the one you use to stop your self from urinating. Like any muscle this can be exercised to make the muscle stronger. After child birth this muscle is weakened and many doctors recommend similar exercises to tone the muscle. Both men and women can strength this muscle and combine these exercises during sex to enhance orgasm.

You can practice this exercise anywhere, either standing, sitting or laying down on your back. It is best to do these at home to get the full effect but you could also easily practice discretely on the train on the way to work.

Get in a comfortable position and slowly breathe in deeply while you tense the muscle like you would if you were busting to pee. Hold the breath for a second and exhale as you relax the muscle. Pause after the breath and then repeat the process. As you are only contracting your muscle without any weights you should be able to do this one hundred times. This will only take a few minutes to complete. The more regular you exercise the better.

In Tantra practice these exercises can be combined with meditation or Tantric firemeditation.

For women, an extension to this exercise is using a love egg (some even vibrate). These can be inserted into the vagina and used as weight training. Contracting and relaxing to prevent the egg from popping out at the same time as breathing in and out heavily. Resistance training will make the muscle stronger which can be used during penetration to clamp onto the penis.

Partner Exercise

Once you have exercised on your own you can bring the same exercise together with your partner.

The man needs to sit on the floor, edge of the bed or chair. The women straddles the man with her legs wrapped around him. Insert the penis into the vagina (obviously a bit of stimulation beforehand for both). The aim is not to thrust like normal sex but to have the penis deep inside your partner while you simultaneously practice this exercise. Synchronise your breathing in and out while you flex and relax your love muscle together.

When a man flexes his love muscle the blood is forced into the penis making it more erect. When a woman flexes her muscle her vagina contacts and will clamp onto the base of the penis. The deep breathing increases your oxygen intact and the build up of energy in the groin can be explosive.

You may orgasm from this exercise. If you don't you are in a great position to continue on.
