Expert explains 'pompoir' sex workout that people claim will enhance your orgasms

There's a 3,000-year-old sex hack that's said to improve your orgasms.

Orgasms alone are great, but who wouldn't say yes to wanting to make them even greater? Queue 'pompoir' — and no, this isn't a new breed of tiny dog.

Pompoir, sometimes referred to as the 'Singapore grip' or 'vaginal gymnastics', is an ancient sexual technique where a woman uses her pelvic floor muscles during sex.

Anyone who has had a baby will probably know all about their pelvic floor, but for those of you who aren't as clued up on this part of our anatomy, it's a group of muscles and ligaments that form a sling from the pubic bone to the tailbone. You've likely used them while holding in a wee when the wedding speeches go on for much longer than you anticipated (we've all been there).

In regard to how to use your pelvic floor to boost your and your partner's orgasm, you simply squeeze the set of muscles around the penis as they ejaculate.

I understand that this sounds like the guys reap all the benefits of this apparent 'workout', but sex educator Gigi Engle insists that it can feel great for women, too.

Explaining what pompoir is, Engle shared with the Metro: "Pompoir is the sexual practice of training your kegel muscles to be so strong you can contract your muscles to such a degree that you’re able to pop things, like a ping pong ball, for example."

Going on to explain how the ancient technique can benefit both people, Engle went on: "By having that strong of a pelvic floor, you can force them to c*m and essentially milk your partner, forcing them to submit to you.

"You take over their bodily faculties and erection because your vaginal muscles are so strong, and because you’re so hot, sexy, and dominant, they can’t help but succumb to you."

If this isn't to your liking, another trend that people are trying out at the moment is something known as 'edging'.

Basically, this is the idea of delaying your orgasm, therefore prolonging pleasure. By repeatedly getting close to finishing but not actually doing so, it supposedly makes the orgasm stronger when you do eventually cross the finish line.

This isn't one you necessarily need a sexual partner for, either, as it's something you can do solo.
