Confession time: even as the head of a company that literally exists to teach women the art of vaginal gymnastics (or Kegels on crack, as I like to refer to it), I sometimes struggle with motivation to train.

Pompoir is no joke. Even if our training sessions only last 30 minutes and don’t require any tools or weights, you still have to put in the work and make it part of your routine most days of the week.

And they are proper workouts, too. You’re squeezing, milking, locking, and twisting through the week.

And because I’ve been testing out the advanced program that’s coming out at the end of the year –which will be 100% free for our Ohlympus Program students, by the way!– my training has gotten even more challenging.

Yet, over the last 9 months I’m happy to report I’ve been extremely consistent. Surprisingly, this is the exact period of time for which I’ve been single.  

(Which, by the way, makes TikTok comments like these hilarious to read. If only this guy knew…)

Entire babies have been conceived, gestated, and born since the last time I got some action.

But I digress. 

You would think that the end of a relationship would be the perfect excuse for me to stop training, right? 

I mean, if I’m not going to be “wowing” anyone with my awesome wringing skills (you read that right), then what’s the point?

That’s what I asked myself the week after ending my relationship.

Very un-feminist of me, I know.

But as I challenged myself to keep going (mostly to continue creating content for you, goddess!) I started finding more and more sources of motivation. 

Turns out, there are many reasons to train your vagina, whether you’re in a relationship or not.

And in case you’re as bad of a feminist as I am, I’m going to list them out for you.

Why You Should Train Pompoir When You’re Single

When I opened this question to our r/pompoir community, I realized most of the reasons listed could be categorized in one of three buckets: pleasure, power, and health.

By the way, I’d love to hear your reasons for training, whether you’re single or not! So feel free to share them here.

Pleasure

The first category of reasons for training Pompoir when single is perhaps the most obvious one to any seasoned vaginal gymnast: pleasure.

This is a no-brainer. If you’ve been exercising your pelvic floor muscles for a while, you know very well the three ways in which it enhances your sexuality:

• Pelvic floor training enhances the quantity and quality of your orgasms
• Pelvic floor training enhances your libido
• Pelvic floor training enhances the pleasure you get from penetration

All of these benefits have nothing to do with what your partner is feeling. They have everything to do with what you feel during sex.

If you have a partner with female genitals, you know this well. While they might not get any particular pleasure from you squeezing and pulsing your fingers, you will, as you’re enhancing the friction from the penetration. 

The same is true when you masturbate. So much so, that we’ve created a new lesson entirely dedicated to Pompoir Masturbation in our course. 

The reasons here are pretty straightforward: the stronger your pelvic floor muscles are, the stronger your orgasm contractions get, and the stronger your orgasms.

Moreover, as you train the different regions of your vagina, you’ll understand your own unique anatomy and you’ll be able to ‘map your pleasure’.

Some of our students, for example, are only able to squeeze at the entrance of the vagina for so long until they need to stop because they’re getting too aroused. Some of us need to take a cold shower when we start involving the anterior and posterior walls in the middle of the vagina. 

Sex drive-wise, this is a huge motivation for me. While I’ve always had a healthy libido, I find that when I train Pompoir consistently, I become teenage-boy-who-just-learned-how-to-masturbate-horny. 

And while I understand how that can get frustrating when you’re single (Believe me, I go to a bodybuilding gym. I frequently have to stop myself from drooling over the squat rack when I see some of these men…), I also weirdly love it.

There’s something uniquely vibrant and exciting about noticing the sex you're attracted to more.

It feels like everything tastes sweeter. Like the colors shine brighter. Like the flowers smell more intensely, or some other vaguely poetic metaphors like that.

I’m using my “English is my second language” excuse card for this one. Hopefully you get what I mean. 

Power

If you’re like me, you have a huge ego. Not something to be proud of, for sure, but definitely something I’ve had to make peace with.

My ego is called Steve, for example. We’re friends now.
Actually, it depends on the day. It’s a complicated relationship.

If you do have your own Steve, you know that Steve gets bigger and more powerful the more you achieve. Even better if what you achieve is something that very few people in the world know how to do. That’s Steve’s cocaine. 

Case and point: Pompoir.

Very few people in the world know that vaginal gymnastics even exists, and a lot fewer of them have any idea of how to do any of these tricks.

And while I’m actively trying to change that (let’s lower that orgasm gap one pulse at a time!) it will always be something reserved for the truly disciplined goddesses.

Think of it this way: most people in first-world countries have access to a gym, yet not everyone has a six pack. 

So the fact that you can milk, and suck, and lock, and whip with your vaginal muscles will always be something to be proud of. 

And I find that knowing this while walking down the street gives me a certain… edge.
I know I’m a spiritual troglodyte, but it truly feels like… ‘divine femininity’. 

I know, I know. Back to science and hard facts, Bel. C’mon now. 

A reddit user put it best:

“Knowing the strength I have down there absolutely makes me feel powerful. It's like a secret superpower that gives me a bit of a pep in my step.” – pinkpeachpie_

Here’s her full quote, which I loved: 

(The Boring One?) Health

I’m a bit of a self-development geek.

I’ve fully emerged myself into the bandwagon of the cold-showers, stare at the sun to reset your circadian rhythm, track your VO2 max– train.

Definitely a fun hang, right?

The way I see it, this podcast-obsessed crowd has created its own religion in order to gamify stuff that would otherwise feel like boring human maintenance habits. And I’m all for it. 

Pompoir, to me, is no different. I run to improve my heart health, I lift weights to increase my longevity, I spend time outside to increase dopamine and lower the chances of me yelling at furniture when I trip over it.  

A strong and flexible pelvic floor does a lot more things for you besides providing next-level sexual pleasure.

For example, it helps stabilize your body. This means that it provides support for your spine and your internal organs when performing different activities.

A lot of people suffer from lower back pain, chronic sacroiliac joint pain, hip pain, and mobility issues, and they don’t know that all of these can originate from weak pelvic floor muscles. 

The pelvic floor is also a reactionary set of muscles. This means that it contracts when you quickly need to run to the kitchen because you forgot you left a cake in the oven, and helps you get there faster and not fall down on your own steps.

It also allows you to control your urine, gas, and feces. No need to elaborate here – pretty important stuff.

Lastly, because it is part of your core, it allows you to train other muscles while avoiding risk of injury. Having a weak pelvic floor, or an overly tight pelvic floor, are both going to make stuff like squatting, lunging, or deadlift really hard, because a key part of your core is not working properly. 

At best, this means your strength in other exercises will suffer. At worst, you can get seriously injured.

So incorporating vaginal gymnastics is a phenomenal way to ensure that your mobility, stability, balance, and overall strength are on point.

And especially as you age, pelvic floor training is the best way to prevent issues like incontinence and organ prolapse.

Final Words

Feminist Overlords, forgive me for at first believing that training my pelvic floor was only useful if I had a partner. 

I admit that sometimes I get so much satisfaction from the orgasm-inducing, men-bending power of this craft that I forget about the ultimate goal: female pleasure.

I have now been converted, and I vow to continue with my training like a loyal disciple of the Path of Pompoir, from now on until my death. 

Wishing you a healthy vaginal training session, whether you’re bewitching men with your sexual prowess, or you’re tracing the map to your ultimate orgasm.

Have a great night, goddess ;)
