A coregasm — say what? Have you ever experienced this?

March 21, 2012

Maybe this will get you drag-your-feet-ers to exercise — especially to do some dreaded ab work:

Some women reach orgasm during exercise (in particular, when doing core work). There’s even a term for it: “coregasm.”

Other exercises associated with “coregasm”: weight lifting, Spinning, biking, and climbing ropes or poles.

The study, published in Sexual and Relationship Therapy, suggests something new about these experiences — that orgasms are not necessarily sexual events.

(And re: the photo above, isn’t this how we all exercise at home? In lacy underwear with our T-shirts yanked up to our chest? Right…)
