| Women Exercising |
Women may not need a guy, a vibrator, or any other direct sexual stimulation to have an orgasm. A new study on exercise-induced orgasms and sexual pleasure has found out that some women reach orgasm during exercise, especially those that involve the core abdominal muscles.
Researchers Debby Herbenick and J. Dennis Fortenberry, both from Indiana University, wrote in the journal Sexual and Relationship Therapy that exercises most likely to be associated with female orgasms are abdominal exercises, weight lifting, spinning/biking, and climbing poles or ropes.
The researchers explain that "coregasm" - reaching an orgasm from exercising the core abdominal muscles -has been mentioned in the media for some time. However they add that the findings in this latest study are new.
Herbanic, and Fortenberry carried out online surveys which included 124 adult females who said they had had an orgasm while exercising, know as EIO (exercise-induced orgasm), and another 246 who reported having experienced exercise-induced sexual pleasure (EISP). They were aged from 18 to 63 years, the majority of whom were either married or in a relationship. Approximately 69 percent of them
said they were heterosexual.
Of the women who had orgasms during exercise, about 45 percent said their first experience was linked to abdominal exercises; 19 percent linked to biking/spinning; 9.3 percent linked to climbing poles or ropes; 7 percent reported a connection with weight lifting; 7 percent running. The rest of the experiences included yoga, swimming, elliptical machines, aerobics and others. Exercise-induced sexual pleasure was linked with more types of exercises than the orgasm phenomenon.
"Many of these women talked about it happening even as children, "Herbenick said, adding that some indicated an experience at age 7 or 8
