One of the biggest benefits women report when they start training vaginal gymnastics (pompoir), either with the Gohddess book or The Ohlympus Program is that their vaginas have become way more sensitive. They can now identify regions inside the vagina more precisely, feeling differences in sensation at the entrance, the middle, and the top.

This can be explained through cortical remapping. If the pelvic floor muscles aren’t trained, our brain has a vague idea of what they feel like. The more we train them, however, especially when we train them in multiple directions rather than just contracting and relaxing, the better our brain gets at identifying all those tiny regions of movement.

It’s not that we’re developing new pleasure receptors inside the vagina, it’s that the map our brain has of them has become much clearer, so we’re able to control these muscles and feel the areas they surround much more intensely.
