I specify “straight” women because it seems only men would be daft enough to not be able to tell when a woman orgasms during intercourse. There’s more to it than lots of noise and funny facial expressions: deeper breaths, flushed chest and cheeks, quickened pulse.

The most obvious — and most difficult to fake — sign of an orgasm is the often intensely tight muscle contractions felt inside the vagina. These are the pubococcygeus, or PC, muscles, and anyone who reads Cosmo or Glamour has surely read about kegel exercises that make them stronger. (Ladies, the more kegels you do, the stronger the contractions and, in turn, the more intense your orgasms will be. Remind me again why you haven’t been doing them…?)

Just like your other muscles, you can exercise PCs with or without weights. There are several different kegel exercisers on the market — classic Ben Wa balls, Smartballs and even some heavier dildos are popular.

But honestly, you don’t need a monthly membership or expensive sex toys to keep ‘em toned. Just squeeze (as if you’re holding in pee, for lack of a more elegant description), hold and release whenever you remember to do it.

I’m doing mine right now.

So guys, try not to ask, “Did you cum?” every time because I’m pretty sure lying is a sin, which means each time your wife/girlfriend/main ho bends the truth, you’re essentially sending her to the fiery depths. Jerk.
