Doesn't seem to do anything to mine!

NomDePlume · 27/06/2006 12:13

Nor mine, not that I can feel, anyway.

How did she "demonstrate" this, exactly?

If only it was as easy as that! I think the woman on This Morning said that sucking your thumb hard is a means of testing how good your pelvic floor muscles are, ie, if you can feel a lift when you suck then they are quite good, if you feel nothing, the pelvic floor needs some work.

And what a ridiculous name for a book! Even if you did give your DP/DH the greatest sex of his life, does he really have that kind of money to go out and buy you a mercedes!!! More like, "Can your Vagina Really buy you a bunch of flowers from a service station"!

Is it just sucking the thumb? Or other things -maybe the early morning BJ might not be just beneficial to our skin after all!!

mumbum · 27/06/2006 12:29

Most impressed Furball - what a devoted wife/partner you are!! Early morning BJ? That, for me, consists of blowing on DS's porridge!!!

mumbum · 27/06/2006 12:34

Still new to all this net talk so mind boggles at what your pf might be Giddy but thanks for giving me a giggle!

LadyTambaOfTambaTown · 27/06/2006 12:35

PF = pelvic floor i think?

mumbum · 27/06/2006 12:36

Of course! And here was me thinking she had a pet fish!!

Tessiebear · 27/06/2006 12:58

Is it just a sensation i should feel when sucking thumb or a full fanny tightner?

I think you need to have a pelvic floor for it to work
