more pleasurable sensations in.
    Regardless of your chosen method, slowing down can sometimes be a challenge in modern culture. It can be hard to break away from the frenzy and flurry that is all around you. But there is a great reward in letting yourself rest with consciousness. If you pay attention to your senses, you can let them teach you and guide you to more pleasurable experiences. If your lifestyle is keeping you stressed out, consider these questions:
How much of your life is devoted to work and productivity?
How much is devoted to relaxation and pleasure?
Is getting a good night's sleep the extent of your rest?
Do you pack your vacation time full of activity?
Do you keep yourself forever busy?
When you do slow down, do you plop yourself in front of the television or immerse yourself in a magazine, book, crossword puzzle, or newspaper?
How much time do you spend just listening to your body and paying attention to your senses?
    If you find that you don't allow yourself much relaxation time, then you may be missing out on a key ingredient to enjoying your body's full potential for sexual pleasure. To remedy this, consider what changes you might make to your lifestyle that could help you better enjoy yourself, as well as be better prepared for satisfying sex.
A Strong Pelvic Floor
    Having emphasized the importance of developing sex-positive attitudes, good health, and the ability to relax accumulated stress, you are now ready to fine-tune one of the most vital and often over looked muscles in your body. The tone of your pelvic floor can make all the difference in how you experience sex and orgasm.
    The muscles of the pelvic floor, particularly the PC muscle (short for pubococcygeus ), are integral in achieving and enjoying sexual arousal and satisfying orgasms. The PC muscle, also sometimes referred to as the love muscle or sex muscle , is responsible for supporting the sexual and reproductive organs, as well as the urethra and the rectum. It aids in the start and stop of the flow of urine and bowel movements, helps keep the bladder from leaking, and allows the passage of newborn infants in vaginal births.
    Both men and women can benefit from strengthening and toning their PC muscles. Strengthening and toning the pelvic floor will help maintain the integrity of the pelvic floor muscles and tendons, and keep the tissue vital by increasing the blood flow to the pelvic area. It will also increase your awareness of the sensations in your pelvis and allow for greater sensitivity.
    Fact
    In 1952, a gynecologist named Dr. Arnold Kegel developed exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in women who were suffering from urinary incontinence after childbirth. These original PC exercises were named Kegels. Kegel's patients soon discovered another benefit to the strengthening and toning of their pelvic floor muscles — better orgasms.
    During arousal and orgasm, the PC muscle contracts involuntarily, initially triggered by direct stimulation or by sexual thoughts and feelings. Once the PC muscle begins its rhythmic pulsations, a positive feedback loop is created. The PC muscle contractions send new arousal messages to the brain. This increased arousal, in turn, causes more pulsations, which sends even more arousal signals to the brain.
Increased Sexual Pleasure and Control
    Perhaps the most gratifying and motivating aspect of a strong pelvic floor is increased sexual pleasure. When the PC muscle is well toned, it is able to contract and relax more, helping to build more arousal and intensify sexual sensations. But a stronger PC muscle also increases one's ability to control orgasms, meaning that you can learn to orgasm or not orgasm when you choose. With a strong pelvic floor, men can learn to orgasm without ejaculating by squeezing the PC muscle right before the moment of ejaculatory inevitability. Consequently, they are able to have multiple orgasms. Strengthening the PC muscle can also help women have multiple orgasms and
