Your pelvic floor is made up of the muscles that support the urinary and reproductive tracts and controls your bladder and bowels. In women, the pelvic floor keeps your bladder and uterus in place. Pregnancy—along with natural aging and certain surgeries—can cause pelvic floor dysfunction, which can lead to issues like frequent urination, constipation, painful sex and more. There are a number of ways to strengthen your pelvic floor, from doing Kegels to investing in a pelvic floor gym like this one. You could also, according to some experts, masturbate your way to a stronger pelvic floor. Jessa Zimmerman, a certified sex therapist, tells Insider, “The contractions that occur with orgasm strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, helping with urinary issues like incontinence and erectile function.”
