The history of intimate gymnastics

Pelvic floor muscle training, often referred to as intimate gymnastics, — is by no means a novelty of our time. Since time immemorial, women have cared about the condition of their vagina, knowing that it is important for harmonious sexual relations, bearing and giving birth to healthy offspring, maintaining overall health, and combating women's diseases.

Our ancestors elevated the conscious control of intimate muscles to the level of art. Development methods «feminine power» and mastering the skill of priestesses of love can be found in tantric teachings, in the philosophy of Tao, in «Kama Sutra» and other ancient treatises.

To increase the effectiveness of the exercises, stone, wooden and jade eggs were used.

 

In ancient India, during training, two round stones were inserted into the future bride's vagina, which she had to hold with the strength of her perineal muscles. Girls who mastered this technique were highly prized and commanded a large ransom.

The roots of intimate gymnastics — in the East. The first vaginal trainer was found in China and is over six thousand years old.
During the time of the emperors, the secrets of using Mienlin balls were kept strictly secret from the common people; only empresses and concubines who pleased the rulers of the Celestial Empire were taught the art of using the devices.

Western women, due to cultural and religious factors, have long lacked the opportunity to develop their sexuality and have been unaware of the healing power of pelvic floor muscle training. However, time and progress are unstoppable, and it was representatives of traditional Western medicine who invented the first medical vaginal trainers.

In 1932, American physician Joshua Davis noted that Eastern women give birth more easily and quickly than Western women, and attributed this fact to the tradition of training intimate muscles.
He also suggested including intimate gymnastics in the childbirth preparation program.

Davis's work was continued by the American scientist Arnold Kegel, who began studying the problem of urinary incontinence in women after childbirth.

In 1947, Kegel introduced a set of intimate exercises to the medical community, along with the first medical vaginal exerciser, the perineometer, which operated on the principle of feedback, allowing a woman to measure the force of contraction of the perineal muscles and track the effectiveness of her training. According to the scientist's research, perineal muscle training promoted rapid postpartum recovery, prevented prolapse of the genitals, and addressed stress urinary incontinence.
In addition, Kegel discovered a new pattern: ruptures of the soft tissues of the birth canal occurred more often in women giving birth with weak pelvic floor muscles.

The system of exercises developed by Kegel was adopted by gynecologists. In 1950, 9 out of 10 patients treated in Los Angeles clinics and practicing the Kegel technique successfully (without surgery) got rid of stress urinary incontinence.

It would seem that an alternative to the previously dominant surgical method had been found, but history decreed otherwise.
The need for medical supervision of training, the high cost of the equipment, and the inconvenience of the woman having to leave the baby during the procedures forced doctors to simplify the technique. Kegel exercises were abandoned, and classes were reduced to simple physical exercises involving alternately tensing and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. Women were given the opportunity to exercise independently, without interrupting their household chores, but the value of the training was almost completely lost.

A keen interest in methods of developing the perineal muscles emerged at the end of the 20th century. Today, many women use Kegel exercises to maintain health and preserve youth.

The craze for fitness has led to the popularization of the Kegel technique as a system of exercises for developing intimate muscles. In England, every aerobics instructor has knowledge in this area.

In France, Kegel exercises are recommended for every new mother to speed up recovery after childbirth.
In Australia, a gynecological examination includes a mandatory assessment of the contractility of the pelvic floor muscles. Many countries have pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation centers for women with postpartum tears, weakened perineal muscles, pelvic organ prolapse and associated stress urinary incontinence.

In 21st-century Russia, two approaches based on the Kegel method are more well-known than others: vumbilding and imbilding. Their main goal — female sexuality development.

The Kegel technique itself has inspired the invention of numerous exercise machines that can increase the effectiveness of the original exercises. Among them — a medical biofeedback device that has a sensitive sensor that is inserted into the vagina to assess the condition of the surrounding muscles.
Special chairs have been developed for magnetic stimulation of the neuromuscular system of the pelvic organs. However, the simplest, safest, most effective and cheapest are still considered to be cargo simulators, the prototypes of which are ancient stone eggs.
