Initiated by SPM Ltd, the Orgasm Survey (http://www.orgasmsurvey.co.uk)has become a global phenomenon with headlines like "Fit women have bettersex!" But the real story behind the survey has nothing to do with sex.
SPM manufacture the PelvicToner, a registered medical device initiallydesigned to treat stress incontinence - an embarrassing condition affecting athird of new mums and half of all women past the menopause.
However, as the firm has discovered, Continence Awareness Week doesn'thave quite the newsworthiness of National Orgasm Day.
Barry Fowler, MD of SPM, said: "The pelvic floor muscles naturallyslacken or stretch because of childbirth, menopause or a lack of effectiveexercise. This causes stress incontinence, and also reduces intimate contactand sexual satisfaction for both partners."
"The link between the strength of the pelvic floor muscles and theability to achieve orgasm has been known since 1952 when Arnold Kegeldemonstrated that women who thought they were sexually dysfunctional weretaught a resistive exercise programme and achieved orgasm for the first time.The method and its benefits have since been consistently ignored by thoseteaching exercises."
"Every effective exercise involves a resistive force such as the body'sweight or a barbell, so encouraging women to squeeze thin air is ineffectiveand demoralising."
Key Findings of the Orgasm Survey
- Nearly half of all women are not getting their share of orgasms!
- Women who claim to have a good pelvic floor have twice as many orgasmsas those who don't
- Women who undertook regular PFME using a PelvicToner resistance devicereported a much improved sex life within 4 weeks
The PelvicToner(TM) (GBP29.99) is a simple, progressive resistancevaginal exerciser designed to help women meet Kegel's fundamentalrequirements to identify and isolate the vaginal (pubococcygeal) muscle andthen to exercise it properly against a variable resistance with theappropriate bio-feedback.
