More on the Pelvic Floor, the Psoas, and the Big O

Yesterday, our poll on Pilates and sex prompted healthy debate. A few key points to highlight: The general consensus suggests that exercise focus on the pelvic floor can bear very positive results for the orgasm-er; but also that those benefits do not necessarily accrue to the orgasm-ee. In any event, the discussion prompted a yoga teacher friend to email the following:

Psoas release is where it's at for the ladies.  A little something called "constructive rest" for about 10-20 minutes a day can really unlock it, and that helps everything work better.  I recommended it to one of my classes, and women were thanking me for months.  :)

Naturally, I insisted that she elaborate. Included after the jump, then, a small tutorial on "constructive rest," the importance of releasing the Psoas major muscle, and the female orgasm.

Party Food Part I

I love food. I love to cook and eat and feed my friends and loved ones. We entertain a lot in my house. For years I never gave the nutritional value of the food I served at parties a second thought. I figured people expect to indulge at parties so I would plan the menu any way I liked. I'd make honey roasted figs with blue cheese and proscuitto that would blow your mind.

Coconut OIl

Sometimes you get tired of using olive oil for everything. When that time comes, run to the store and buy some coconut oil. Coconut oil is high in lauric acid, which is a saturated fatty acid that boosts metabolism. It's mild, delicious and extremely healthy—good for your heart, metabolism, thyroid gland and immune system.  It's also great for hair, skin and is effective against a variety of infections. Stir-fry or sautee vegetables in it, use it in your smoothie, pour a bit on your fruit salad or use it on popcorn instead of butter. I personally take a tablespoon every morning and have for years. My friend Marisa steamed carrots the other day, then poured some coconut oil over them. They tasted amazing. Coconut oil. It's a win-win. See for yourself.

Mohawk’s Got the Rants

Maybe I’m channeling msh258 here, but something about today seems like it deserves a rant or two. Lo and behold, I refresh my Yahoo news page and read this lovely article about new Wisconsin legislation that’ll slap a 10k fine and some jail time on health teachers if they teach kids about contraceptives because a) it’s illegal to have sex if you’re a minor in Wisconsin (HA!) and b) knowing how to have safe sex will “contribute to the delinquency of a minor.”
