In this episode, Leah and Dr. Willow sit down with Bel DeLorenzo, author of The Goh!ddess Method, to explore Pompoir, the ancient art of complete vaginal mastery that goes far beyond basic Kegels. Bel traces Pompoir's roots from the Devadasi temple dancers of sixth century India through the ping pong shows of Thailand to the legend of Wallis Simpson, then breaks down the mechanics: twelve distinct zones of movement and sensitivity inside the vagina, built from combinations of vertical, horizontal, and sagittal muscle contractions with names like milking, whipping, squeezing, and the lock. She explains how this kind of pelvic floor training saved her own relationship during a pandemic lockdown, why it can dramatically increase orgasm intensity and arousal, and how it connects to cervical orgasms through the vagus nerve and to a process she calls cortical remapping, where focused muscle training essentially turns up the resolution on your brain's pleasure map. The conversation also covers safety, including how to avoid a hypertonic pelvic floor, and touches on early research into non-ejaculatory, multi-orgasmic training for men. It's a deep, funny, and genuinely educational look at an under-discussed piece of female sexual anatomy and what becomes possible when you learn to use it with real precision. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS ✳️ Pompoir is complete vaginal mastery: twelve zones, three axes of movement, and skills like milking, whipping, and the lock that go way beyond a basic Kegel ✳️ The pelvic floor connects to way more than pleasure: posture, squat strength, balance, and running form all showed up in Bel's own training ✳️ Cervical orgasms bypass the spinal cord entirely through the vagus nerve, which may explain why they feel so emotional and whole body ✳️ Cortical remapping means you're not growing new pleasure receptors, you're sharpening the brain's map of the ones you already have ✳️ Pelvic floor training isn't just for women: early research on men points to multiple non-ejaculatory orgasms in a single encounter ✳️ Safety matters: breathing, proper rest, and stretching are essential to avoid a hypertonic, overly tight pelvic floor LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/pompoir-pelvic-floor-exercises The Couples Sacred Spot Retreat | Santa Barbara, Nov 6-8 We are bringing our most intimate couples workshop to California.
