Ben Wa....?

Today we're going to explore the fabulous benefits of Ben Wa Balls.

Ben Wa Balls have been around for centuries and were originally used for sexual stimulation. When inserted into the vagina these small, heavy metal balls produce subtle stimulation, meant only to tease rather than bring the user to immediate climax.

Recently they've been used to exercise and tighten the pubococcygeus muscle (try saing that 3 times in a row!) more simply known as the PC muscle. The use of Ben Wa balls is much like doing Kegel exercises, but more powerful with faster and more effective results.

To use Ben Wa balls, always begin with one. When inserted, you'll have to contract your PC muscle very tightly in order to hold it in. This takes practice and becomes easier as the muscle strengthens. Work with one Ben Wa ball until you can easily hold it in while going about your daily household routine. Notice that I said household. Public use of these may not be in your best interest because any sudden expenditure of energy may cause some undesirable results.

Once you're very comfortable with one, you can begin to use both Ben Wa balls, at which time you will need to work your PC muscles even harder.

Probably the biggest question I'm asked about Ben Wa ball is if they can get 'lost' up inside of you. The absolutely cannot. The opening to your cervix is no bigger than the tip of a pencil lead, so unless you're currently in labor and your cervix is dilated (in which case I'd have to say you need your head examined if you're putting anything in your va-jay-jay at that moment), no one has ever had to go the the emergency room to have their balls pulled out of their vagina!

How do I know this? I consulted a local physician!

Ok, so I made that part up. I just like this picture of Dr. Scrum-dilly-umptious a lot!

You may be wondering about the benefits of very toned PC muscles. Well, for starters, you won't pee a little when you sneeze. Besides that, however, PC muscles can play an integral role in sexual pleasure both for you and your partner during intercourse.

He likes it because you can grip a little tighter, and you'll enjoy the increased control you have over your orgasms, allowing you to have longer, stronger and, many women claim, multiple orgasms.

Yee-haw!
