After a decade of treating women with problems in the area of sexual health, the Medical Center for Female Sexuality offers selected products for women, including a Kegel exercise music CD.

A Kegel is the name of a pelvic floor exercise, named after Dr. Arthur Kegel who created the exercise. Muscles attached to the pelvic bone, called PC muscles (for pubococcygeus) act like a hammock, holding in pelvic organs. When these muscles are strong, everything inside is where it’s supposed to be. And strong internal pelvic floor muscles help with incontinence, sexual activity and general urological and sexual well-being.

As women age, the muscles around the vagina and urethra may weaken leading to all kinds of problems. But it's hard to find the right time to focus on a Kegel exercise regimen. MCFS produced a musical CD with several circuits for Kegel exercises.

There are many resources that support Kegel exercises from OBs who suggest building muscles during and after pregnancy, to menopause specialists who observe the discomfort of prolapse - a dropping down of the cervix into the vaginal cavity - as women age. When it comes to sexual health, Kegels have been associated with greater arousal, increased lubrication, more robust sex drive, and enhanced orgasmic response.

The concept of exercising for fitness to prevent muscular atrophy and to build body strength is just as relevant to these less visible - but not less important - muscle groups.

Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, clinical director of the Medical Center for Female Sexuality, lamented the absence of a user-friendly Kegel exerciser - not only for the Pilates set but for every woman. She produced this CD to give to her patients at the Center, has distributed samples to area OBGYNs and is offering them for sale to visitors to the Center website.

For the holiday season, there is a 10% discount on all Kegel CD orders at the MCFS store with code smile2010.

• The 100 points of good sex
• Talking to Your Teens About Sex
• The Dynamics and Cultural Cues Influencing Women's Sexual Desire
• Sluts & Virgins: The Dynamics of the Teenage Sexual Behavior
