I'll add that with reiki attunements you can open the microcosmic orbit much more quickly, as reiki uses the same two channels. The governor meridian and conception vessel are two of the eight extraordinary meridians, which are in addition to the main 12 pairs named for the yin and yang organs. The microcosmic orbit connects these two meridians at the perineum and the mouth, which is why the microcosmic orbit is done while holding the lock mulabandha (lightly) and touching the tip of the tongue to the roof of the mouth. Diane Stein (or however her name is spelled) includes the microcosmic orbit meditation in her book "Essential Reiki" and suggests connecting the orbit during the process of giving a reiki attunement. I do not recall if she suggests doing kegel exercises. They have been develped for men as well as for women, as everyone has perineum muscles, and developing them is important if you are serious about channeling sexual energy into the orbit or just up the spine into the upper chakras.
Also, Mantak Chia wrote that even in men, all sexual energy starts out in a "cold" or yin form. It is only when sexual thoughts and emotions stir it up that it turns "hot" or yang, which it does in women as well as men. He suggests that when you first start working with sexual energy it is far easier to guide the energy in its yin form rather than the much wilder yang form.
