The five-day better sex diet and fitness plan
Up your orgasmic potential with this five-stage plan to get your mind and body into peak sexual fitness. Discover how to sexercise your sex muscle and learn what to eat with our orgasm-boosting recipe ideas
The 2008 Orgasm Survey by Scarlet magazine and SPM Ltd discovered that sexually fit women are twice as likely to achieve orgasms, yet that 92 per cent of women do not know how to exercise their sex muscles properly. Coupling a daily routine of 'sexercise' with a diet that includes foods rich in libido-boosting properties will help you to stay at the peak of your own sexual fitness. Here's how...
Better sex diet and fitness plan: Day 1
Exercise: Suck your thumb!
Your pelvic floor muscles give you better orgasmic control, and can mean the difference between a so-so orgasm, and a toe-curling whopper. But being internal, finding your pelvic floors can be tricky.
'A quick test is to suck your thumb quite hard' says Jenni Russell, a postural therapist and author of Can a Vagina really buy a Mercedes? 'You should feel a slight pull and lift from inside the vagina; those are your pelvic floor muscles'
Teach your brain where your pelvic floor muscles are throughout the day by sucking your thumb and focusing on the sensation. Practice aiming for a bearing up movement, don't push down.
Diet: ArginineLynn Edlen-Nezin, author of Great Food, Great Sex: The Three Food Factors for Sexual Fitness, believes that the secret to great sex lies in foods rich in the amino acid arginine.
'Arginine is the basis of drugs like Viagra and Cialis; helping men to achieve better erections while engorging and lubricating the sex organs of women,' she explains. Arginine is found in the protein groups, so meat, fish, eggs and nuts are all great sources of this love juice inducer.

Better sex diet and fitness plan: Day 2
Exercise: The Straw Test
'An exercise I give my clients is to get on all fours like a bridge and place a straw just inside the vaginal lips,' explains Russell. 'Close the lips around the straw and then 'suck up' so that the drink goes towards the belly button – that is the elevation you need to feel when exercising these muscles.'
Your challenge today is to try the straw test; this will help you to get the right action for the exercise routines later in the plan.
Diet: Omega-3
Omega-3 is said to help your nervous system function more efficiently, which considering sex is all about circuitry, makes it an important addition to a sex diet. Omega-3 is primarily found in oily fish such as mackerel, salmon and sardines. Alternatively, you can also take fish oil supplements.
