The Pubococcygeus Muscle stretches from the pubic bone in front to the coccyx in the back, surrounding the vagina

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").
