"OK, here&amp;#x27;s a super-personal question for you: have you ever had an orgasm... while working out? Stories have circulated (even here on Vitamin G!) for years about the &amp;quot;coregasm&amp;quot;--an exercise-induced orgasm that&amp;#x27;s often correlated with core-strengthening workouts (thus the name). And now, there&amp;#x27;s research to back it up. A new anecdote-based study by researchers at Indiana University has confirmed that some women can (and do!) experience sexual pleasure through exercise alone--no fantasies, no sex. Just exercise. According to Debby Herbenick, a researcher for the study: &amp;quot;The most common exercises associated with exercise-induced orgasm were abdominal exercises, climbing poles or ropes, biking/spinning and weight lifting. ... These data are interesting because they suggest that orgasm is not necessarily a sexual event, and they may also teach us more about the bodily processes underlying women&amp;#x27;s experiences of orgasm.&amp;quot; The researchers aren&amp;#x27;t clear on the physical mechanisms that make &amp;quot;coregasms&amp;quot; possible in women, but they say that--according to the 370 women in the study who have experienced exercise-induced sexual pleasure--having one isn&amp;#x27;t rare. After all, about 40 percent of women surveying have experienced it on more than 10 occasions. Honestly, this doesn&amp;#x27;t surprise me. After all, exercise already releases a bunch of feel-good hormones, gets your blood pumping, and puts you in closer touch with all the signals your body is sending. Throw in some well-placed gym equipment--and, well, why not? Have you ever heard of &amp;quot;coregasms&amp;quot;? Have you ever experienced one? More on exer-gasms * Oh My!
