From Doggy Style To Downward Doggy

The next thing you know your zumba instructor’s going to say, “Welcome, Class. Let’s start with a warm-up, shake our hips like Shakira, and finish with a series of coregasms.”

Hey, it’s not like we’ve never heard of women having orgasms during a vigorous workout before. A good heart-pumping gets the blood flowing and experts have shown that exercise works wonders for positive body awareness. This means if you’re fit, in tune with your body, and have that nice fuzzy feeling of overall well-being, it may be that much easier to achieve orgasm.

But a new study is saying that exercise-induced sexual pleasure (EISP) and exercise-induced orgasms (EIO) may be more common than we thought. So, for all those sexually-starved ladies out there or those who just can’t seem to achieve orgasm manually or sexually, it’s time to don your lulus and crunch your way to satisfaction.

Out of 370 women who responded to the online survey created by Debby Herbenick and her co-author Dr. J. Dennis Fortenberry, a professor at the Indiana University School of Medicine, 100 of them said they have experienced orgasm while exercising and 200 of the women polled didn’t reach orgasm, but they felt “highly aroused and close to orgasm.”

Who said that exercise couldn’t be titillating? Euphoria beats endorphins any day.

But Herbenick isn’t exactly encouraging everyone to attend a yoga class and release moans instead of oms. She’s more intrigued by what this study tells us about female sexuality. She says:

“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’s experiences of orgasm.”

Fair enough. But I’m still trying to picture full-out orgasms at the gym of all places. Surely I’ve had those tingly feelings down there while workin’ it in the “captain’s chair,” but I’ve also had those feelings from contracting my anus and squeezing my butt cheeks while holding in a number two.

And while it’s great that this information may teach us more about the mechanisms of sexual pleasure, coregasms can ever replace the experience of being touched, kissed, and caressed by another person.

But the benefits of human contact aside, the more tingles down there, the better.
