Smart Balls

I began using kegel exercises to strengthen my urinary sphincter, at the advice of my doctor.  I had no idea that this little exercise would propel me into learning how to ejaculate, experience unbelievably explosive orgasms, and be put on a sexual pedestal by my grateful, utterly enamored, soaking wet husband! 
 
I began by researching kegel on the internet & finding out the basics of where the pubococcygeal muscles are, and how they feel when you've isolated them.  You locate them by stopping urine in mid-stream.  Ignore the muscles that tighten the anal sphincter, and also keep from tightening the abdominal muscles.  You're supposed to do this 3x a day, for up to 100 contractions.  I set up a reminder, a trigger.  Every time I went off to work or shopping, I would practice my kegel.  But I did find that thoughts or incidents would distract me, and I would forget.  Regardless, I think I did strengthen these muscles quite a bit.
 
It wasn't until I began to read about the g spot that I realized how magnificently I could control & provide pleasure!  I went into a local sex shop in the small city where I live & found some ben wa balls.  There was very little to choose from & the staff didn't seem too informed.  These balls are the size of larger marbles & made of glass.  I used them a couple of times but didn't feel that I was contracting.  In hindsight, was it perhaps because I was ovulating & swollen, thus holding them in place?  Regardless, the last time I wore them, I found it frustrating.  I drink a lot of water (ejaculating girls always do) and needed to pee.  Now!  Well, I removed my undies but couldn't push the ben wa balls out for fear of, well, you know...  So I dug inside me, pulled one out, then dug deeper & couldn't find the second one.  I remained bent over, squeezing my PC muscles while trying find the damned marble, my knees quivering in a manner reminiscent of my incontinent dog who tries so hard to hold it in.  Ok Ben Wa.  You will be used a paperweight from now on. 
 
So I went back to working on my own, but felt something was missing, perhaps consistency, or perhaps tensile strength.  As I progressed with stronger & more multiple squirts, I felt the power that comes with knowing this ancient form of female sexuality.  But when I asked my husband if he could feel me squeeze his penis when I was motionless on top of him, he said he could not notice the difference, although when in the throes of orgasm, he said I grip him so tightly that he cannot withdraw until I release him. 
 
I decided it was time to modify my exercise routine.  If you work out with weights, you know that there are 2 different ways to build muscle.  Free weights, or weight machines, have a consistent weight throughout the motion of the exercise.  You maintain your form until you cannot complete the final rep.  Then there are the band workouts, like the bowflex machine.  You perform higher reps because the weight must be less in order to maintain proper form, and you systematically go down in weight, rather than up, as is the case with free weights.  To do otherwise is to compromise form & perhaps injure yourself. 
 
After careful consideration, I got the Smart Balls.  Quite honestly, I really felt that I was going to prove to myself that I can do better on my own, without external help (uh, oh, don't tell my husband I just said that!).  I inserted the smart balls with a bit of lubricant & went on with my day at home.  Unfortunately, I spent a lot of that day on the computer, getting up only to go to the bathroom.  At the end of the day, I erroneously felt they'd done little.  Then I read the instructions a bit more carefully & realized that they should be worn during everyday MOVEMENTS. 
 
A couple of days later, I was heading out to do some shopping.  Recall that I'm always trying to remember to do my kegel exercises & feel confident about my tensile strength.  WRONG!  I inserted the smart balls & went off to pick through organic veggies & sweet fruits.  As I walked back to the car, I felt one of the balls pop out of my vagina!  Hmmm!  They're so comfortable that I'd forgotten they were there!  Uh, it's not too easy to pop them back in through your jeans, so I stopped off at a local restroom.  My lesson for that day is that I can be extremely relaxed, enough to allow the smart balls to fall out.  And this is a good thing, actually, because when training for female ejaculation, constant tension in the pelvic area is just as bad flaccid muscles.  You need to completely relax in order for the skenes glands to release their ejaculate fluid & allow it to travel down to the urethra.  And you have to be relaxed enough to ignore that need to pee, ignore the natural reflex that makes you want to hold the trickle that you feel traveling along the inside of your ureter.  Then, the tensile strength from using the smart balls is what will allow you to propel your sweet ejaculate juices, splattering the joyful face of your beloved, if he or she wishes it so.  Yes! Yes! Yes! 
 
Getting back to anatomy, I do feel that using bands as well as free weights has help me maintain a healthy musculature, feminine but firm, strong but sexy.  I have a bowflex & also lots of free weights & cardio equipment in my home gym.  I use them all.  And I will keep using the smart balls because they fill a niche that I cannot complete on my own.  The smart balls never let me forget that they are there.  They are teaching me to ignore my pelvic diaphragm (which surrounds the anus) while tightening the transverse perennial muscle (between the anus & vagina) while pulling down the ischiocavernous muscle that loops over the outer part of the vagina, across the top of the clitoris.  BUT, it also loops around the grafenberg, or g spot, and by walking around during your daily routine with the smart balls inserted, you're gently stimulating your g spot!  Certainly, it's not enough to ejaculate in public (ha ha!) but it sure does keep your mind focused on when your sweetheart is destined to arrive home. 
The best sex is after a workout, wouldn't you agree?  Smart balls will get you pumped & primed for an evening of sensual freedom!

Symphony Opus

This is a remarkably ingenious (not so) little vibrator.  I've never felt a material quite like this - it's pthalate-free.  It becomes warm & soft, yet remains firm during use.  There is a tiny nub that works beautifully on the clitoris & clitoral shaft.  I didn't feel it would be ideal for g spot stimulation because it's not of a hard plastic, but the opus actually gives you a different g spot experience.  There are nubs along the shaft that get wider with the girth of this vibrator.  The length is a decent 6" which allows both g spot fun & uterine thrusts.  When fully inserted & losing ones' self in its vibration, the lips of my vagina curled around the wider base shaft & didn't want to let go!  Thanks to extensive pubococcygeal exercises, I've been told that when I grab hold, it's hard to exit gracefully.  So I guess I'd admit that this is also a Pc exercising vibrator.  It's easy to clean & feel friendly from the beginning of usage, not like some vibrators that feel cold or too powerful.  It has a soft purr that is quite sensual, and the 3 speeds are exactly enough.  There's nothing worse than flipping through 9 settings to find the one you prefer.  Too many bells & whistles can detract & compromise on quality.  I also like that the opus takes AA batteries.  Some vibrators won't use rechargeable batteries, but this one works very well. 
 
It's more sensual than some vibrators, nice on a slow, languorous morning.  Soft orgasms that feel like I'm being caressed & never want to let go.  A wonderful way to greet the morning.  And although I've not tried it out yet, I imagine it would be ideal as a vibratory tool on my man's more sensitive areas, around his testicles & even around the head & frenum.  It feels like a tongue when used on low & like your best friend when on high.
