Other *ahem* Benefits...

[irishserra]

I've searched the forums and have been unable to find an answer to the following question:

I've read - as well as experienced for myself - the libido enhancing benefits of eating raw.

What I'm wanting to know now is have any of you raw-loving women experienced benefits relating to elasticity throughout the *entire* body?

I'm wondering if there is anything besides kegel exercises to improve tension.

Just earlier I was thinking about detoxing that region and remembering how the Crystal Star founder, forget her name, has a recipe to make a "tampon" out of cooled coconut oil, I think, with herbs targeting gynecological health that you insert up the fox hole, let dissolve to withdraw toxins. Don't have that reference book though. All those years that I used toxic tampons.....Oh, poor little vagina :confused:

My mom was mentioning reading about how Dr. Kegal never intended "kegels" to be isotonic exercises in other words I think he had a more specific pattern and instruction and also resistance for the exercises. I can ask my mom where she read that if your interested or you could Google kegal and see if you come up with the doctors full name who invented them and than do some more research on his specific technique.

Interesting you asked as I was just wondering the same thing the other day.
In the short time I've been raw, both myself and my bf have experienced significant sexual benefits from the diet change. I have always had a healthy libido, but I've noticed that the lubrication during the act is just much healthier. And my fiancee has certainly seen major erectile improvements. As far as getting taut, the only thing I've heard work for that is what was previously said, the kegels. I do them all the time, like, just sitting in class or watching TV, it makes an unbelievable difference.

yeah I think since being high raw there's always been good lubrication!

I think the best thing for tautness is PILATES!
Especially the exercise known as 'the Hundreds' - It really squeezes those muscles down below.
here's a link with a little video (http://www.femina.in/woman-video/videos-health/floor-pilates-hundreds) of how to do the exercise.
(keep the legs straight and feet pointing up towards the ceiling to make it harder, or with the legs straight but lower towards the floor to make it really hard!)


Another strange exercise I have found to increase muscle strength in my lower abdomen is push ups (press ups).
Strange I know, but doing these really tenses that area.

Kegels are good - and should be done, but when you do an exercise like the hundreds, it keeps all the muscles in the area tight, which helps, right? :)

I've experienced the same with regard to lubrication. And definitely my libido. My husband "complained" to me the other day that he couldn't keep up. I find much of it is physiological, as well. You know that your body is so clean inside and out that you've no problem just letting go.

Thank you so much for the link! I've tried kegels but I wonder if I am doing them wrong, or just not long enough. Anything that would help would be awesome. I noticed that when I went high raw, my skin became near perfect and as I'm losing weight, I'm not dealing with loose skin. Therefore, I figured that raw must help with regard to other areas and tautness.

I LOVE this web site. I'm learning so so much!

Thank you ALL OF YOU!!

I agree, the link was really helpful! Also, what's helped me is to clench and hold; holding is key. Instead of just repetitively contracting and relaxing the muscles, hold as tight a squeeze as possible for 8-10 seconds, relax for 5 seconds, then repeat (several times). It's just like working out any other muscle with crunches or push ups, near the end of the reps, you should feel your muscles shaking with slight fatigue. Then you know you're doing it right! :)

There is a really good video called callenetics, which does wonders for the nether-regions. I had no idea I thought it was just a good stretching routine, but whoooah! 5 stars! (That and Maca)

Yeah, I came back later on that night and the post about the model was gone :( I got everyone talking now. Yay Me! Honeydew you made me laugh with your post. I am hoping to find out if it is true. So far the bait has not bite. I know from the pictures I have seen though these men are quite sexy.

I know. It seems you're more likely to get blushing and euphemisms at most from this bunch. That's fine, different strokes for different folks I guess. But sex (for some of us anyway) is a part of a healthy lifestyle; a part equally affected by the raw food diet, and in a forum devoted to discussing ALL the benefits of the diet (even poop), you'd think everyone wouldn't be so tight lipped about it.
