Muscles
The traditional Taoist technique for exercising the pc muscle is extremely helpful. It uses the Taoist awareness that all circular muscles of the body (around the eyes, mouth, urethra, vagina, and anus) are connected. By squeezing the muscles around your eyes and mouth it is possible to increase the force of your pc exercises. Contracting the muscles around your eyes involves simply squinting, and contracting the muscles of your mouth involves simply sucking, like a baby nurses. It is also helpful to squeeze the pc muscle on exhalation, as it helps you relax the rest of your muscles and isolate the pc .
It may also be of use to do PC exercises against a dildo or your partner’s penis. You may find that contracting your PC muscle during lovemaking increases your arousal remarkably. Contracting your PC muscle increases the sexual energy in your pelvic region and spreads a warm flush of arousal throughout your body. Contracting against a penis or dildo as it is withdrawn from your vagina can be extremely stimulating, as it creates suction against the vaginal walls. You may want to experiment with what feels best for you.
As your muscle gets stronger and stronger, your lover will certainly be able to appreciate the increased contractions against his penis during lovemaking. Most men find this extremely arousing. The Taoists strongly recommended that a woman squeeze around the shaft of the man’s penis, which will invigorate his whole body (see chapter 5) and allow him to experience very high levels of pleasure without ejaculating. This technique can also prolong the amount of time you can make love and increase both of your chances to become multi-orgasmic.

PC PULL-UPS
INHALE AND CONCENTRATE: Inhale and concentrate on your vagina.
EXHALE AND CONTRACT: As you exhale, contract your PC muscle.
INHALE AND RELAX: Inhale and relax your muscles.
REPEAT — EXHALE/CONTRACT AND INHALE/RELAX: Continue contracting your muscles as you exhale and releasing them as you inhale. Contract and release with your breathing, starting with eighteen times at fi rst, and then working up to thirty-six times or more. (After each set of eighteen, rest before continuing.)
CONTRACT AS LONG AS YOU CAN: Now repeat the exercise, but this time on each exhalation contract your PC muscle as long as you can and then release. Do nine long contractions, and then rest before doing another set.
One of the results of doing PC muscle exercises is that they may arouse sex-ual energy in you no matter where you are. This can certainly add zing to a boring business meeting! If you can simply enjoy the warm energy, that is fine. However, some women find the increased sexual energy distracting. If this is the case for you, you will need to learn the exercises in chapter 3 that show you how to channel this energy up to the brain in order to increase your energy level and concentration.
Contrary to popular belief, currently only 15 to 25 percent of women are multiply orgasmic.
Becoming Multi-Orgasmic
Women have the capacity for virtually inexhaustible sexual pleasure. Yet while all women have the capacity to have multiple orgasms, many do not experience them or do not experience them regularly. Why do some women have them while others do not? Why does the same woman have them sometimes and not other times? Certainly many women who didn’t think that they could have multiple orgasms have discovered that they could as they have had new sexual experiences and new partners or have become more sexually experienced.
In Alfred Kinsey’s famous studies of sexuality in the 1950s, only approximately 14 percent of women were multi-orgasmic. By 1970 the number of multi-orgasmic women had increased to only 16 percent. 10 And even today far fewer women are multi-orgasmic than one might expect. Contrary to popular belief, currently only 15 to 25 percent of women are multiply orgasmic. 11 Recently an anonymous questionnaire was sent out to 805
