I recently felt something unexpected during my workouts—a kind of tingling sensation that suddenly surged through me!

Or, after reaching a certain intensity in my workout, have you ever felt an inexplicable rush of excitement, possibly related to exercise induced orgasms?

Yes, in my recent workout sessions, I’ve experienced these feelings!

So, can working out actually lead to an exercise induced orgasm?

Driven by curiosity, I started researching and found a key term in numerous studies—Coregasm.

In medical literature, a coregasm is referred to as exercise induced orgasm (EIO) or exercise-induced sexual pleasure (EISP).

Specifically, a coregasm occurs during physical activities involving the core muscles and abdominal exercises. The intense contractions of the pelvic muscles and abdominal muscles during exercise can induce a sensation of sexual pleasure or orgasm.

However, from the scientific studies available, it was found that most women who experienced exercise induced orgasm or sexual pleasure during exercise reported that they were not thinking about sexual matters at the time.

From more detailed information, it’s not just women who can experience coregasms—men can too. Engaging in these exercises can also have a positive impact on sexual function.

This means that coregasms do not significantly relate to sexual fantasies or gender. Additionally, regular exercise and strengthening of the core and pelvic floor muscles can be beneficial for sexual health.

In essence, a coregasm is asexual.

Of course, if we talk about the differences between men and women experiencing exercise induced orgasms, they differ slightly in sensation.

Women’s coregasms may feel like a deep vaginal orgasm, whereas men’s may resemble a prostate orgasm.

So, what kind of core exercises lead to coregasms?

1. Hanging Leg Raises: Hanging from a bar and lifting your legs toward your chest engages the lower abs intensely.
2. Captain’s Chair Leg Raises: Using a captain’s chair apparatus, lift your legs while stabilizing your upper body with your arms.
3. Crunches: Especially those targeting the lower abs, like reverse crunches.
4. Planks: Holding a plank position, particularly side planks, can activate the core muscles significantly.
5. Bicycle Crunches: This exercise engages the entire core, with a focus on the obliques.
6. V-Ups: Simultaneously lifting your legs and torso to form a V shape.
7. Deadlifts: While primarily a lower back and leg exercise, deadlifts also require strong core engagement.
8. Squats: Especially deep squats that engage the pelvic floor muscles.

It’s important to note that muscle fatigue can increase the likelihood of experiencing a coregasm, so adjusting workout sets may be necessary.

Everyone’s body responds differently, so coregasms are not guaranteed with these exercises. It’s important to listen to your body and prioritize proper form to avoid injury. Incorporating pelvic floor exercises can also enhance the effectiveness of these workouts in inducing coregasms.

Are there specific considerations for women when working out compared to men?

1. Hormonal Fluctuations

• Menstrual Cycle: Women’s energy levels, strength, and endurance can fluctuate with their menstrual cycle. For example, some women may feel stronger and more energetic during the follicular phase (first half) and may need to adjust their workouts during the luteal phase (second half) when fatigue and other symptoms are more common.
• Pregnancy: Exercise can be beneficial during pregnancy, but it’s important to modify workouts to accommodate changes in balance, increased weight, and the health of both mother and baby.

2. Bone Health

• Osteoporosis: Women are at a higher risk for osteoporosis, especially post-menopause. Weight-bearing and resistance exercises are crucial for building and maintaining bone density.

3. Muscle Mass and Strength

• Muscle Building: Women generally have less muscle mass and testosterone than men, which affects muscle-building potential. While women can still build significant strength and muscle, progress might be slower compared to men.
• Strength Training: It is equally important for women to engage in strength training to increase muscle mass, boost metabolism, and support overall health.

4. Body Composition

• Fat Distribution: Women tend to have a higher body fat percentage and different fat distribution patterns (more fat around hips and thighs) compared to men. This can affect workout goals and approaches to fat loss.

5. Injury Risk

• Joint Stability: Women may have greater joint laxity and a higher risk of certain injuries, such as ACL tears, particularly due to anatomical and hormonal differences. Proper warm-ups, strength training, and attention to form are essential. Incorporating pelvic floor exercises can help strengthen these muscles and reduce the risk of injury.
• Pelvic Floor Health: Exercises that place excessive pressure on the pelvic floor (like heavy lifting) should be approached with caution, especially post-pregnancy.

6. Cardiovascular Considerations

• Heart Health: While cardiovascular disease is often perceived as a male issue, it is a leading cause of death among women as well. Regular cardiovascular exercise is important for heart health.

7. Exercise Preferences

• Group Activities: Some studies suggest women might prefer group activities and social aspects of exercise more than men. Incorporating group classes or workout partners can enhance motivation and enjoyment.

8. Nutritional Needs

• Iron Intake: Women, especially those who are menstruating, may need more iron due to blood loss. Ensuring adequate nutrition is important for energy levels and overall health.
• Caloric Intake: Women may require fewer calories than men due to generally smaller body size and lower muscle mass, but it’s important to consume enough to support activity levels and overall health.

9. Psychological Aspects

• Body Image: Women might face different societal pressures regarding body image, which can influence their workout goals and self-esteem. A balanced, healthy approach to fitness is important for mental well-being.
