 If
you have weak sexual muscles, you may have a hard time
having an orgasm, or, at the very least, you will not
have the powerful orgasms that you could be having. To
have powerful, intense, and, especially,
female-ejaculatory orgasms, you must have strong sexual
muscles. Kegel exercises can be used to strengthen your
PC and other sexual muscles.

Incentive
 If
you want to get someone to do something, you give them
an incentive.
From salespeople to athletes to wage earners to CEOs to
consumers, people naturally respond to incentives in all
their many forms. So what do you think would be an
incentive!
How do you give yourself an incentive to do something?
By focusing on the reasons why you're doing it, and on
all the things you'll gain from doing it. Visualize
clearly and in detail what your actions will accomplish.
Keep that vision in front of you.
It is very easy to get distracted by the difficulties
and details of getting the work done. So make an effort
to constantly keep in mind why you're doing it in
the first place by maintaining a strong connection
between your efforts and the reasons behind them.
You provide incentives to others all the time. Each
dollar you spend is an incentive for someone.
Every day, incentives compel people to do extraordinary
things. Give yourself a big enough incentive, and you
can accomplish anything you desire.
