can a female achieve orgasm with exercise

it's possible and a small subset of the female population even gets 'spontaneous orgasms" without any stimulation. Most of them do not feel lucky becuase it can interfere with normal life and get :out of control." In your case - it sounds "lucky.'

thank you for the answer..and, yes, besides not being able to do certain workouts in public, it's not disruptive at all.. but, is there no medical documentation of such a thing?? i mean, besides other women like me, that say what happens or that it does?? i dont want the documentation for myself. i want it for the people that i happened to have told and they dont believe me. it's not incredibly important, bc i get to reap the benefit either way.. i just would get some satisfaction out of being vindicated. :) plus, now im curious what the biological explanation would be.

YES YES YES! you are completely right, and damn your friends for not believing you. Over the past couple of days i have actually admitted to my friends that if i do about 7 press ups i get an orgasm and they wont believe me. And your article has actually reminded me of the times when i was about 8 and i used to climb up the poles in the play ground at school and i used to get a very nice feeling down below when my arms got to my weakest point of pulling myself up the pole, and i am also a gymnast, and doing sissor crosses in a class once, ended a bit embarrassingly because i just couldnt carry on, after a while i discovered that doing pressups gave me the same pleasurable feeling. Infact, anything to do with my arms pulling myself up gave me this amazing feeling. It wasn't until i read an article in bliss magazine about how it feels to have sex, and it also described what an orgasm feels like that i actually realised i was having an orgasm :)

omg my dad taught me the leg raising excersize in 8th grade and then i started to add sizzor kicks to it, then just like you i would start to do more and more cause of the workout then one dayy i got the sensation, now about every other day i do 3 sets of 15 cause it feels sooo goood! i never new it was an orgasm, but i love it.

Well this kind of wierd. I have just googled to see if anyone has had a similar thing happen and ended up here ...  I am a guy, and experienced exactly the same feelings when climbing the ropes in gym at school when I was 10, etc. So I made sure I attended classes regularly without knowing the real reason! Anyway, I now experience the same sensation after strenuous excercise at the gym -  normally after spinning or cycling. I asked my partner if she had experienced anything similar and she just gave me that glazed look to say .... 'what are you on...'

 

At least I am not alone out there now!

 

 

it happens to me too!!! just yesterday, i was doing exactly what you mentioned, when you hang from a bar and bring your knees up. I can't get through 3 of them without orgasming!! It's so strange, but you're not alone lol :D. i looked it up on google too, and it's not that common, but other women get orgasms from exercising as well.

Thank you to everyone for your answers!    I would say it makes me feel better to have my claim "verified" since no one believed me, but I knew it was happening whether I was believed or not.  haha  But, I cant wait to send everyone that ever did doubt me to this page.

 

  And, to the disbelievers:  I'm sorry you DONT know what we're talking about.  Maybe you can try some of the things listed and you may be pleasantly surprised.  ;)

It happens to me as well!! It just takes seconds to happen when climbing ropes or poles especially if tired after other exercises.  I have had it from loads of differant exercises such as, most ab exercices, leg presses hyper extentions and hamstring curls. It seams to happen the easyest with the abs though, in all the other exercises I have to do high reps, 20-50 reps and realy squeez out the last few reps but with leg raises or knee raises I dont even need to be tired.  It works the best when doing leg raise or knee raise if I lift them as high as possable i.e. knee raise, lift knees to chest or to make even harder or better feeling lift knees to elbows.  With the leg raises try to get your toes to touch the bar.  I do these hanging from an over head bar/pull up bar. 

I also thought I was the only one to get this from exercise but its good to know there are others out there.

Someone said in one of their answers that they dont do the exercises that make them orgasm.  You should still do them but just leave them till the end of your workout, it gives you somthing to look forward to and it is a great way to finish your workout.

P.S have fun and enjoy it!!!! I do!!

I swear I just felt this today at the gym; I was doing the Ab-cruncher, where you sit down and pull the weight down with your arms and do crunches. Today I decided to push myself a little further, and I started doing extra reps...I started to feel a sort of tickling in my stomach, and I kept going. Before I knew it, I had had an orgasm!! It was amazing! And weird, how the hell did that happen?!?!

This started happening to me, too, at the gym on the ab-hanging-armresting equipment 20 years ago.  At about the 8th time I bring my legs to my chest---boom!  It also work when I lay on my back, tilt my pelvis up and bring my legs up and rock with them straight out.  It doesn't take much, but I have never orgasmed by penetration.

 

I am going to do an experiment soon during sex and using this technique and angle to see if it makes a difference.  I am pretty sure it will.  

 

I've never known anyone else to have this "problem", but it's a good one to have.

WOW! I thought something was strange with me, but after reading this, I'm shocked to know that other people have experienced this. I just came from the gym today while on the AB-CRUNCH machine, after I do about my 3rd set of ten...when it  gets real hard to do anymore, I feel that same tingling feeling & I end up wetting my clothes. It felt like I peed, but didn't. It kind of felt like the orgasm (I RARELY have) with my husband, but I didn't want to think that was it, b/c my mind isn't on sex in the gym at all! Now, after reading this, I want to know what/why this happens. I'm a late bloomer in the orgasm dept. I experienced my first orgasm about a year ago (second yr of marriage) when I was 31. Seems like after my husband finally helped me get it, I began to work out..and that's when I noticed the similarity in the feeling...usually on the ab-cruncher & leg curl machine...matter of fact, it started on the leg curl & then surprisingly again on the ab-cruncher.

 

It's kinda embarrassing b/c I kinda take deep  breaths & moan after doing those last few. It's usually the strongest when I feel like I can't do anymore. But I feel it coming & it feels so good, I push myself to do 5 more --though it hurts like hell!! But then, the squirt thing happens & it's weird...especially when someone else is standing there waiting for me to get off of it. I wonder what other exersies can cause this??  ;)

So, as you've heard, you are NOT alone. I cannot believe what I've been reading. I thought I was completely alone as well! I actually was googling to try to find out how to have an orgasm during sex because the only way I can have one is from the darn pole or knee crunches, etc! (very easily) I just gave up years ago and haven't done a crunch or climbed a pole in about 10 years. But now I'm in my mid 30's and think this is ridiculous. Any advice for me and my husband in the bedroom??

I am SO RELIEVED to be reading this thread right now! I'm 25 and always thought I was some freak of nature because I was orgasming during ab exercises.  Like many of you, I never realized that it was actually an orgasm until I was older.

 

So here's my question.  Briwalk, I know you mentioned that you can orgasm like this but you can also orgasm during sex. My problem is that I can't at all.  Does anyone who also orgasms during ab exercises have any advice for how to orgasm during a time that it matters the most -- sex??? Maybe there's a certain position that people like us need to try out in order to be able to orgasm in the bedroom.  Even when I masturbate it takes a LONG time for me to achieve orgasm by touching myself, so I'm thinking theres something magic that the ab exercises do that I cannot do with my hand or get my partner to replicate.

 

Thanks so much to everyone for sharing the stories. It feels so good to know that I'm not alone!!!

Sure anyone can, I'm male 29 years old, and i have been doing the core-gasm thing since i was 7 years old, I remember in my early years I excercise myself hanging in a bar and doing butterflies exercise trying to reach my chest with my knee joints, so that excercise included movements like scissors and abs. The resulting orgasm is great! You can also reach core-gasm stretching yourself by sitting on the floor with your legs together and trying to reach your feet with your hands.

 

 

I was interested in Kraken's response as I too am a male and am able to achieve orgasm by doing leg raises.  The harder the exercise ie) hanging or inclined, the faster the burn out edge is reached that, if pushed, will cause me to orgasm.  The wierd thing is as a guy though is that you usually have to have an erection to ejaculate but by doing it through exercise, ejaculation occurs while being flacid.  Obviously a little embarassing at a gym if the mistake is made to go too far and you end up with a mess!  I never get aroused and its usually so instantaneous that its hard to stop if working too hard.

I'm 19 years old, puerto rican and have been an athlete my whole life. The first times I remember feeling these sensations was in 9th grade swim team trying to do breast stroke. Now, I'm a sophomore in college and I can't do cerain exercises in public because it becomes unbearable.

 

I learned this doing the ab workout where you lay on your back and your partner throws down your legs and you lift them back up. Well, I was on 19 of the last set when my friend Michelle told me, one more Gaby! I had been feeling the feeling for the past couple reps so I didnt want to, but she urged me to. So when I did, I felt like I EXPLODED and I just turned red and laughed for like 10 minutes straight because I sincerely felt like I had just orgasmed all over myself in the public gym on campus. 

 

The odd thing is, its not only when I do abs.. Its when I push myself in general [not with cardio]. When doing lat. pull downs with weights and chest press, around the last few reps, the feeling is unbearable. In a GREAT way of course! But it does effect my ability to work out in the gym effectively, especially in public!

 

Is there an actual medical explanation? Or is it just that... working out is apparently an aphrodisiac?

I remember being slightly older say 10 and climbing the rope in the gym at school and the same thing happened it was a race to the top but i had to stop half way up i was too busy enjoying myself so yes I suppose it can happen with exercise.  Do recall it was a great feeling as such a young age.

no! you are not a freak of nature! haha cause im not, well at least i dont think so know that i have actually found some one like you, haha wow this is so cool it is the same when i tell a man they think its for attention an ignore me an women think the same too. its not! i work out at the gym with a trainer and a whole class of people an they just dont understand why i always stop in the middle of an intence work out they tell me i will never succed a great work out if keep stopping, well lil do they know if i  keep going im gana have an orgasim, and not to me grose but my panties will be all wet, an not only that im sure its noticeable to them that something is going on with my body, as im sure you know! But i always here that women cant get off an that it takes forever, well gosh i can look at a guy an it start to tickle down there!

The phenomenon explained is quite normal. Too much strain makes the energy of the body flows downwards. It is described in many yoga and tantra books. The energy flows toward the first chakra which is situated where the genitals are. So to control this energy and to make it move back upwards a so called mula bandha is used (known also as root lock). It's simple to perform. Only will power is needed and some practice of course. One can find these excercises for stopping the energy loss in Internet also under the name Kegel exercises. Here is a link where you can inform yourself a bit how these excercises are done: http://www.biggerloads.com/penis-size/kegels-men.html. The main thing is to squeeze the anus (no hands used of course :-) and the abdomenal muscles. In a way by doing this exercises one feels as if he is pulling his anus upwards toward the navel. When you reach the level to sustain this lock for more than half a minute you have become quite a master of your own pelvic floor muscles. I hope this post was useful for you.

Forgive me my bad English!

You are not alone!  When I began doing dumbell lifts across my chest to increase my bust line, I started to get 'warm'.  I then switched to laying on my back and raising my legs vertical to my torso and back downt to the floor again.  After doing that a number of times I was having an orgasm!

This is the first time i've googled this..its happend to me for years and this evening i orgasmed TWICE in my pilates class!! So thought I should finally check to see if there was anyone else...i think its great but would love to get the same feeling from sex so if anyone knows anything that would work??

When I was in my teens I had this ability. If any girl wispered in my ear, just the scent  and her voice would make me orgasm and cum in my pants. It happened more often in the beginning but slowed down. When I had inserted my penis into a vagina for the first time I came immediately and kept cumming every 1 minute or less. appx 3 times one intercourse. It eventually slowed to when I could thrust for 15 minutes before releasing. Today I can cum immediately when my female partner climbs on top of me.

OHMYGOODNESS...I went to Pilates tonight and orgasmed 3 TIMES. I got shaky and grinned quite a bit...I think i'll do Pilates every week, now! =) I can deal with having orgasms as a reward for my ab work!

But really, I don't understand why...

It happens with Captain's Chair exercises too...VERY AWKWARD when I work out with Dad. (The exercise in which you pull your legs to your chest).

I guess blood flow just goes down there? Or moving legs that way will stimulate the clit?

I'm actually exhausted and recovering from all the orgasms in Pilates hahah.

Not at all!!!! It is absolutely possible. I had heard that once or twice before in my life about us girls having orgasms during workouts but I never actually experienced it for myself until last night. I've NEVER experienced anything like that in my life. I was pushing myself alittle harder than usual bc I haven't worked out in about a month.....it was amazing! Sadly for me and my boyfriend I've never orgasmed during sex  maybe having this happen will help!?  But yes you are one LUCKY chica!! Happy Excersise!!!

 

I was just searching online to see if anyone else had this!! My story is almost identical to yours! I think we must be the luckiest people in the entire world!! Orgasms I feel are more up to me then my spouse and if he really gets me going I have orgasmed up to 8 times in one 10 min session. Man that will take it out of you!!

 

Cheers

Hi there, you're not alone. The exact thing happens to me, for years I have been doing leg raisers for this very same reason. I wasn't aware I was having an orgasm at the time but realize this is what it is. The only problem is, I can't seem to achieve the same intense orgasm during intercourse, can you help me with this?? I love sex and do have small orgasms but nothing like when I'm excercising.. Do you have any suggestions?

hi there

I was reading Andy Summer's book 'one train later' and, in the part where he mentions having an erection when pole climbing as a kid, I suddenly remembered something similar happening to me in gymnastics class at school when climbing the rope. Strangely, I had never thought of it till I read it; then I googled and found this.

For me, as somebody mentions here, it was not an erection nor had to do with rubbing my genitalia, it was more intense, more like an orgasm (coming more from behind than from the penis, if it makes any sense). I guess it's something related to the prostate rather than to the penis.

Unfortunately, I have never had any pleasure anymore when exercising in the gym...

I personally can't do pull-ups in public.  It takes about 5 and I'm flying.  When I gained weight and went to a gym and got a trainer, we had a fight because he wanted me to do pull-ups.  Needless to say, I won.  When I was like in the 3rd grade I had started doing pull ups in my backyard to get that nice sensation.  It wasn't till I was in high school that I realized what was happening.

no its not unique i am male and i had the same experience from a young age almost exact to your description...hope you dont feel alone now ;)

I am a male and when I was about 8 years old, an older female cousen and I were near the school yard near her house when she said lets go up to the tether ball poles. When we got there she said, "race you to the top" so I eagerly strongly shinnied up trying to beat her to the top when I got almost to the top this great feeling started to form in my penis and genetil area. I reached the top and kept the shinnying action in my legs and put my hands around the top of the pole and held my self there to experience the greatest sensation I had ever felt in my life, I weakly slid down the pole and said, " wow, what was that to my cousen" and she replied "that has something to do with when you make babies." I of course didn't know what she ment and proceeded to get orgasms that way in variations till I learned how to jack off and then have sex with a the ladies.

i am a 44 y/o male and i have been experiencing this ever since i can remember.   i remember sneaking to the playground to climb the pole to make me feel good.  even now i can make myself cum when i climb anything.  email me at ekaj95@yahoo.com if you are like this too.  i always thought i was crazy until now.

 

 

NO! I have this too! So strange, I thought I was the only one. Let me know if you figure it out....misshlp90@gmail.com

I am a guy and have a slight twist to your situation. When I was young and had recess at school, I would wait until the teachers called us in when recess was over. Thats when I would pull myself up on a pole. The feeling came VERY quickly. I think it was something to do with nervousness because I was supposed to be going inside and could get in trouble... or because I knew it was an orgasm and was embarassed... something about that intensified it. Anyway, it didn't take me long to learn that it was an orgasm, and I was glad that I developed this technique to avoid all hard work haha. So yeah, anyone else have the orgasms connected to anticipation, nervousness, embarassment, etc.?
