The PC Muscle
In some women, the sexual response
during coitus is impaired by a wide
and slack vaginal entrance. In other
words, the muscles inside the
woman's body which surround the
vagina are in such poor condition
that there is not enough friction
between the penis and the vaginal
walls. Indeed, neither of the
partners may even feel very
distinctly whether the insertion has
taken place or not. The main muscle
that needs to be strengthened in
this case is called the
pubococcygeus or PC muscle for
short. It can be described as the
master sphincter of the entire
pelvic area, and it runs from the
pubic bone in the front all the way
to the coccyx, or end of the
spine, in the back. A sexological
examination prior to therapy will
already have tested the firmness and
responsiveness of this muscle (see
"Sexological Examination - In Women:
Procedure"). |
