The practice often integrates Kegel exercises or pelvic floor work. By contracting and relaxing the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles, practitioners increase blood flow to the area, which can heighten sensitivity and lead to more intense or frequent orgasms. 2. Somatic Awareness and "Muscle Memory"
While the word "gymnastics" implies performance, the modern application is focused on wellness. It encourages a "playful" approach to anatomy, removing the pressure of a specific "end goal" and focusing instead on the agility and responsiveness of the body. 4.
