How to do pompoir exercises
To practice Pompoir exercises it is possible to perform simple exercises of contraction and relaxation without accessories, or resort to the use of accessories such as ben wa, also known as Thai balls.
In men, this technique can be practiced by lifting small weights by contracting the muscles of the penis, which makes the erection firmer and longer and easier to inhibit orgasm.
Simple exercises to contract the perineum
These exercises are very simple to practice, just follow these steps:

These exercises should be performed daily to strengthen all the pelvic floor muscles and should be performed sometimes with your legs together and sometimes with your legs apart.
While performing the exercises, it is very important that the woman is able to ensure that she is not contracting the abdominal muscles, which is common in women with weak pelvic floor muscles.
Exercises with Thai balls
To carry out the strengthening exercises using ben-wa balls, it is necessary to follow the following steps:
- Insert one ball in the vagina and try to suck the other balls next using whenever possible only the force of the contraction of the muscles of the vagina;
- After inserting the balls, you must begin the expulsion process, expelling the balls from the vagina one by one using especially the pelvic floor muscle relaxation.
If possible, these exercises should be performed daily, so that the balls can be inserted and expelled only with the movements of the pelvic floor muscles. In addition, these balls can also help to develop vaginal sensitivity, especially if they are used during the day or even on a walk, for example, as they are composed of tiny lead balls that vibrate with body movement.
