Self-knowledge and practice are two aspects of enhancing one's sexual health. For women, this includes becoming familiar with their genitals, learning how the parts of the vulva function together, and learning how to control the pubococcygeus (PC) muscle. Self-knowledge also involves overcoming cultural taboos about the genitals, as the woman in this video clip describes. You will also see a mirror self-exam, as well as a demonstration of Kegel exercises.
