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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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??

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'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?

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!

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!

 

-NC

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.

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!!!

 

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?

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.

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.

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

You said, "Now, if I work out on the machine that you put your arms on the bars so that youre hanging off the ground, and you lift your knees to your chest, I cant even get through 2 sets of 12."

 

I'm with you!  You are not alone.  We were just watching tv and saw that piece of equipment and I brought up the impact that would have on me.  He was in utter disbelief, so we googled it, and I see I'm not alone.  So, in forties with a happy sex life, we just both might be going back to the gym!  I used to be a little paranoid thinking people would suspect that when I was on that machine, thinking it was common, so I guess I can get a good ab workout without being so worried now.  That will be our little secret.  

I get the same exact thing which happened to me at gymnastics when I was about 9. We were doing the exercise where someone stands on your hands and you lift your whole body of the ground at one time. It hit my like crazy. the rest of the day, I was doing that exercise. I found other ways as well and tell my friends. I am now 23 and none of my friends have been able to achieve this experience like me. I'm glad that I'm not the only one. 

Hiya,

no you are not a complete freak, when i was at the age of 6/7 i used to go to the park with my mum to play and i would attempt to climb the fireman's pole.. but just abouts as i reached to the top of the firemans pole i would feel something so wonderful in my vagina. i didnt know what it was.. when i was little i also asked my mum what it was and she just laughed.. i didnt know until about the age of 14/15 that i had experienced my first orgasm just by climbing up a pole.. i also experienced this on ropes in infant school in p.e class.. i would climb the rope in class and just at the top i would sit there shuddering and trying not to make it obvious that i was having an orgasm. Now i am at the age of about to turn 16 and i now feel this pleasure by climbing up the banister, and climbing up the pole side of my bed, and the best way i get is climbing up the edge of a door. for this you need to sit onto the door handle and hold onto the top of the door and pool your self up and down... mmm the thought of it makes me want to do it. so no, i do not think you are a complete freak because i have searched on the web and thousands of other people get these amasing sexual orgasms aswell. and in my advice, everybody should try it :)

 

xXxx

Yessss!thank god i have found someone that xperiences the same.

When i was about 7 or 8,i dont know why,but i just wanted to climb up something and use my muscles,so i used a door,and b4 i knew it i was getting this really nice sensation...

I didnt know what it was,i just knew it felt good,so i kept doing it...

I saw something on the web that says that only few women can get this sensation.But i've stopped doing it now because when i use a door my hands afterwards are all swollen and red and have blisters,god talk about painful...lol

 

im glad to know im not alone!!!

hi

 

Wow what a huge response. Do any of you who have answered wish to speak to me? I am a journalist (female) researching this very topic. I got the idea to do a story on it because it also happenened to me (whilst doing lunges in the gym and a certain yoga movement) so I wanted to investigate.

 

I am interested in hearing from people so I can get a few quotes (only requires a telephone chat) and ALSO any experts in the field (sex-sperts, doctors, coaches) who may be able to shed some academic or scientific light on the phenomenom.

Please email me on putitthisway@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks!

I'm so glad I found this site! I just confessed tonight to my husband that I can make myself orgasm while doing lying leg curls at the gym!! (We've started hitting the gym pretty hard ever since New Years...and of course, I'm loving it!) He looked at me like, "Ok, sure you can...", so I decided to look it up to see if anyone else had this same "problem". I'm also so happy that I wasn't the only kid who would sneak into the back yard to do pull-ups on the swing set to experience that funny tingly feeling! I'm just kind of wondering why this happens? I'm so happy it does...I just wonder why!

I have experienced this as well.  Since I was a kid, whenever I would do push-ups, or tricep exercises, it would cause me to feel really good down there.  I would keep going, but stop before I hit orgasm because I was too embarrassed.  Because I am always working out in a public gym, I never want to hit orgasm (it's too embarrassing with all the people around), but after reading these stories, it makes me want to try it at home and see if I can get there.

I am a 45-year-old married man.  I discovered while doing crunches at the gym that the motion causes me noticeable sexual excitement.  It doesn't take many crunches to cause this arousal, and thankfully I do not get an erection.  Now I avoid this sort of exercise, because it is difficult not to be quickly stimulated by it, and I don't want to embarrass myself publicly.  The first couple of times the arousal happened, I jumped up and walked into the men's locker room and paced around until the feeling passed.  On one occasion, I was too slow and ejaculated in my shorts while lying on the mat.  I don't think I made any sounds or unusual faces (at least for a gym), but I still felt extremely embarrassed and worried that the young woman doing leg stretches nearby might have sensed what had happened, so I hastened to the locker room and found to my relief that the wet spot though somewhat large did not really show, because the shorts were black.  I had a coat I could use to hide it, and was able to go home without embarrassment. 

 

I suppose I envy the ladies who can enjoy this pleasure in a public place without detection, and even multiple times!  As for us men, I'm afraid we can't hide the results without effort, and for me, all that effort just isn't worth the trouble.  As for wearing a condom while working out, that just seems ridiculous. 

It feels so good to know that I am not alone. My story is more or less the same as everybody elses, rope climbing at around age 8.

There is only one problem. I dont appear to have an orgasm from ANYTHING else but excercizing. Its very frusturating and I feel bad for my boyfriend. Nothing really feels good and I am not sure how to transfer those awesome feelings during excersizing to my love life. :(

Please any advice at all would be most appreciated!!!!!

Im so happy Im not alone :)

 

You are definitely not alone as you can see from all the responses.  I am now a female, age 46, married for 15 years, and a mother of two.  I happened to see something on this subject recently and it triggered my memory of this happening to me...initially, very accidentally as a little girl at around age 5-6.  Of course at this age, I didn't know anything about sex, much less orgasm, but I knew it felt GREAT and that it was something I probably shouldn't tell anyone since it involved my "private parts." 

 

I don't know how I first discovered it, but there was a shelf in our laundry room which was about chest height for me.  If I propped myself up on my elbows with my feet hanging off the ground.  I guess this was similar to those who did the exercise where they do the machine where they hang and pull their legs up to their chest.  When I was hanging, I was tensing my ab muscles and began to get this wonderful feeling and it would eventually come to a climax.  I didn't know what was happening other than it felt good and I would do it alot.  I found that the same or similar thing happened later on when I climbed a rope at a friend's house.  I still didn't know what the feeling was, but I recognized it as the same thing.  I was about 8 or 9 by this time.  Later, when I learned about sex and orgasm, I recognized this feeling for what it was.  My form of masturbation did not include any physical stimulation...I may be reading a romance novel (definitely not graphic) while laying on my stomach propped on my elbows.  The experience of tension created by pushing up on my elbows combined with tensing my ab muscles, I would experience an orgasm (I was about 16...still a virgin...but I was sure this is what it was.) 

 

 I know that this sensation was derived from the physical exercise and had nothing to do with friction.  I've had orgasms later through sex and know what it feels like to have an orgasm brought on by physical stimulation of the genitals, and this is not at all what triggered my early orgasms.  I was always highly orgasmic and could orgasm very frequently, in a romantic situation, with no below the waist contact whatsoever.

 

Ironically, in my mid 40's, I am having trouble achieving orgasms.  I can get aroused fairly easily, but can't seem to make it to orgasm.  After remembering these experiences from childhood, thanks to the posts here, I wonder if using the exercise approach prior to sex with my husband, I might be onto something.  Please someone post a reply if you've come up with something here. 

 

 

 

 

It sounds like what I went through as a kid, I really liked the Tether ball poll, and the rope swing too....But I never told a soul, it was too good to tell someone and have them tell me it was wrong! I liked it too much for that...

This is a very normal thing for young girls to feel. I think we are the lucky ones, some woman don't have O's at all....

Good luck & Happy New Year, and just know you are normal.

Omfg

God bless the internet! It happens to me too, I didn't understand what it was until this year and I have never told anyone about it because I've never heard anything about it.  I usually only get it when I do ab work outs but if I push myself just the right amount when I'm running I can get it from that too... Crazy crazy!! but I'm glad I'm not alone!

Not just females have this, males aswell. I remember when I was young it happened to me, once i went to far and i remember like pissing myself, then had to quickly run to the school toilets, that was embarrasing but i was a smart kid and know one noticed ( luckily i had a change of shorts haha). I was just randomly thinking of this today and googled to this page, I havent felt this feeling in ages and was hoping to find some infomation on what to do to feel it again. Also if there was a medical term, becuase it may be a great answer for people. If someone could find out the reason this happens then maybe it could help a lot of people experience this magical feeling.

 

I was also wondering if this had anything to do with sugar levels, this is becuase I used to eat lotsa sweets when i was young and now im older i have low sugar levels and havent experienced this feeling for ages.

 

My reason for thinking it may have something to do with sugar levels is becuase if your body is producing too many glucose it can build up and make you need to pee. and i recall having this sensation of needing to pee when i was doing these exercises for orgasm at school. I hope i explained that clear enough lol. responses would be awesome thanks :) .

It's called a 'coregasm'.  Google that for more information.  The best information I know about its causes, and its relation to other forms or sexual excitation, is unfortunately in French - it can be downloaded at http://foyer.biep.org.

You are not alone. Experienced same thing when I was 8 as I was swinging off a bar & pulled my knees upwards. As I got older found I was coming more easily, needing only to suspend one leg in the air.I can have about 8 orgasms in a row, the Intensity is unbelievable & had always thought I was freakish until now. Does anyone know why this happens?

Hey all,

    Its so good to see that other people have experienced and also anguished over this very thing. I too noticed mine in about 3-4th grade. Out on the contraption that had the monkey bars and 4 poles straight up through the middle. We were all out hanging out on it, and one of the boys and girls were having a strength showoff, seeing if boys were stronger than girls. Pulling themselves up the poles bottom to top, not using your feet, I tried too, but couldnt make it. We had an afterschool program and later that afternoon I went out on the playground, and was determined to be able to climb bottom to top. Well, you know what happened, I got so close and then had to just hold on for dear life, gripping around the pole, and the waves washing over me. I didnt know what it was, but I did know, it felt so good. I started trying to get out there every chance I could. I would ride my bike there and such and find nobody around. I would do this over and over. I then started going into the bathrooms during class, asking to go, and finding nobody in there, would hang on the door, and do the same excersize, pulling my legs up, and upper body and would orgasm.

     One day I am at a friends house, and out back with his sisters, one my age, and his older sister by about 2 years. She is doing similar on the clothesline pole. She kept doing it, then walk around, then doing it again. Then comes the shocker, she asks me, have you ever pulled yourself up like this and felt a funny feeling. I laughed and she goes you have, I thought she was kidding and she wasnt. She then did it again, this time wrapping her legs around the pole after about 20 seconds. She asked me to try it, and i did, and of course orgasmed. She started laughing and said you felt it didnt you. I of course denied it. Not understanding it. I was very timid. I kinda stopped for fear of this girl telling everyone, but she never did.

      Years later, about 5 years, it happened again, in gym class, doing the presidential fitness thing, where you had to run, throw, climb etc, I was almost to the top of the rope in the gym, and wham. So embaressed.

     I then thought about the clothesline poles and this girl, so I would always make it a point at night around the time to go home, that I would find someones yard that had a clothesline pole and pull myself up on it. I always kept this to myself, until now. I also just shared it with the girl I am dating, thinking she is gonna think i am crazy,,but she said really, have you tried since you were a kid, I told her no,,,but wanted to see if it still does,,,and yes,,,,it does, I did it on my bedroom door in my house.

    And like so many of the girls here said, it is so friggin intense, not sure why, havnt experienced it working out, not even a little bit. But glad to know we have the internet, where you can share these experiences, guess this is one of those, that we are afraid people would think we are crazy if you told them. Except for here of course.

Hi, Im a teenager and this happens to me too but not as frequently. When I was younger I got the exact same tingling down there and It freaked me out a bit because I thought something was wrong down there. Lol, well anyways I never told anyone. So ever since I was like 12 I would sometimes do simple excercises in my room and out of the blue I would get the same tingling. This year I try doing a routine two times a day and this happened more strongely  a few times when I was doing situps and those leg ups, mostly for the leg ups. I was wondering if I was getting orgasims but I thought it was a little far fetched. And I'm too shy to tell my friends. Well at least I found this website :)

I just found this thing a week ago with me !  i tried 2 times and i got orgasm 2 times and i ejalculated ! but noe if i try i am getting any feeling ? Does anyone know why ? BTW i was doing leg raises '( ab wrkout ) ! i desperately want it back ! Help ! 

wow i thought i was the only one in the world,thats my story EXACTLY! i googled this bc i need to seriously find a way to get rid of it ;/ i cant workout at the gym the feeling is so strong i cant keep up with my workout, and i NEED to, im working on my abs. anyone have any answers?

 

 

 

 

I get this too. It first started doing some scissor kicks in a dance class when I was 6 or 7. All through my teens I used to pleasure myself through exercise...long before I discovered 'regular' masturbation or sex. I've realised the key is in contracting my abs while having my lower back flat again the floor, and I use this technique in sex when underneath a partner I push against the bed and am in control on my own fate whenever I want!!

Read this and laughed aloud in recognition. Oh yes! Those good old poles. I got started a bit sooner, maybe 3 or even younger--that is, before I can remember. But I remember once, age 3 or 4, a woman yelling at me when I was (ahem) swinging from the horizontal bar by the grocery checkout line. Later, preteens, the kids would be lined up behind me while I "climbed up," legs in that twisty way, "so slowly--why ya going so slowly? you're holding up the line!" to the lowest branch as we climbed our favorite tree. But the thing is, I'm an old lady now, and in "my day," women were supposed to come like all of fireworks and spring and joy together--and if you didn't, hey, you were: immature, frigid, a b--ch, and whatever else, go-see-a-psychotherapist, and ohyes-a-maneater, etc. etc.--so we all thought, or at least many of us did, that what we'd been feeling, so easily for years, couldn't be that heavenly-striven-for o-r-g-a-s-m we'd heard of. Bravo for "The myth of the vaginal orgasm," a *liberating* booklet that let us know we'd been doing it for years. And for, in our later years if not before, our wonderful vibrators.

OMG that's exactly the same as me! don't worry, i thought i wasn't normal but i guess a handful of people have it! when i'm excercising my abs, i get it =P

I wish someone who knows how would start a Yahoo group or forum for this so those who can do it could discuss it with each other and compare experiences which might help learn more about what causes it.

Wow, a lucky freak of nature? I wouldn't mind experiencing that but I never have enough time to work out, and yes it is possible, I just heard about this whole exercising then having an orgasm just less than 5 hours ago and it's all over the news, and there are lots of other females saying it's happened to them and I highly doubt all these women got together and said "hey, let's all go to the media and tell them exercising makes us have orgasms." I do believe that it would be the best attention getter ever but not that many women coming together (no pun intended) and saying lets do this for attention!

Im 38 and i was swingin my legs all the time as a kid and got that wonderful feeling, never told a soul til today I told my husband that was reason i dont exercise. and now im here writing this. it got pretty bad when i was about 6, i was swingin and enjoy it alittle to much and fell face first and one of my teeth went through my bottem lip. i was at my grandparents and was embarresed and told them i was exercising. something told me i was weird for doing this(tickling my fancy)

 

I expereience orgasms during my lower abdominal exercises on that very same machine you described (where your holding on, legs dangling below and you bring your legs up to your chest or as high as possible).

 

Like yourself I have never encountered another person/female who has experienced this, however the people I do tell believe me, both men and women.

 

The only difference with me is that I find it extremely difficult to orgasm with penal penetration, in fact I can only remember it happening once in my lifetime.  I orgasm much better with oral sex but it is not always and it can sometimes take a while.

 

I would love to be able to orgasm easily and always during sex, during my lower ab exercise I try to understand what motion is triggerring my orgasms so I can try to duplicate it during sex, no luck yet :(  but dammit I am gonna orgasm during sex if it kills me!

I cannot believe that I just read that!!!! I thought I was surely the ONLY one that could achieve orgasms, multiple and with the quickness, via leglifts! I accidentally had my first orgasm in a public gym doing them at the age of 13. I had no idea what that explosion of sensation was till yrs later when I had an orgasm thru sex. I have also told a few ppl over the years of my skill and ppl find it very difficult to believe. I am not one to masterbate either, no need when I can just do my leg lift! I can and do achieve multiple orgasms daily and can do it easily in under a minute. I secretly do thisin public places, like the beach without anyone knowing.My stomach muscles are so tight you xan drive a Mack truck over my belly!! I wish I could talk to the girl like me. I swear I couldve wrote that. Whoa!
