Researchers confirm anecdotal evidence that exercise — absent sex or fantasies — can lead to female orgasm. While the findings are new, reports of this phenomenon, sometimes called “coregasm” because of its association with exercises for core abdominal muscles, have circulated in the media for years, said researcher Debby Herbenick. “The most common exercises associated with exercise-induced orgasm were abdominal exercises, climbing poles or ropes, biking/spinning and weight lifting,” Herbenick said. “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.” The results are based on surveys administered online to 124 women who reported experiencing …show more content…
She also said that study findings may help women who experience exercise-induced orgasm/exercise-induced sexual pleasure feel more normal about their experiences or put them into context. Herbenick cautioned that it is not yet known whether such exercises can improve women’s sexual experiences. “It may be that exercise — which is already known to have significant benefits to health and well-being — has the potential to enhance women’s sexual lives as well.” The study did not determine how common it is for women to experience exercise-induced orgasm or exercise-induced sexual pleasure. But the authors note that it took only five weeks to recruit the 370 women who experienced the phenomenon, suggesting it is not rare. “Magazines and blogs have long highlighted cases of what they sometimes call ‘coregasm,’” Herbenick said. “But aside from early reports by Kinsey and colleagues, this is an area of women’s sexual health research that has been largely ignored over the past six
In her article, Jane Gerhard, depicts the patterns, discussions, and debates among specialists, clinicians, and women's activists in twentieth century, surrounding women’s orgasms. The main 'Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm' was a 1968 oeuvre composed by Anne Koedt. It contended against the regular affirmation that woman got delight solely through intercourse, and investigated woman' sexuality. She talks about the convictions about the orgasm that existed in the primary portion of the twentieth century. As of now, a "partner marriage" where a hetero couple would love and look after each other, and have intercourse, was viewed as the correct and "ordinary" thing to do. It was settled upon, amongst clinicians and sexologists, that intercourse was
We’ve all gone through this feeling of exhaustion known as exercise. It can tire us out, yet leave a rewarding, kind of paradoxical feeling of energy.
It is a well-kenned fact that exercise is very propitious to the body’s overall health. Exercise has been shown to enhance the circulation of blood throughout the body, relinquish solicitousness, boost self-esteem, and ultimately is utilized as a treatment for noetic illnesses.
It is clear to see how social values have influenced research on sexuality in the past. Not only did society dictate what was right and proper for a scientist to study, but it condemned those who sought answers for the “improper” areas of study to career damnation. Even more discouraging is the way in which modern day society still puts limits on the research done in sexual physiology. In an era so tolerant and open-minded, one would assume that any researcher in honest quest for truth would be welcomed (and funded) with open arms. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In an article titled Long After Kinsey, Only the Brave Study Sex, Benedict Carey describes such limits on a study attempted in 2003, “In July 2003, for instance, Congress threatened to shut down several highly-regarded sex studies, including one of emotion and arousal, and another of massage parlor workers. And last summer health officials refused to finance a widely anticipated

The Sexual Behavior of the Human Female. Kinsey reports, “14 per cent of all the females in our sample […] recalled that they had reached orgasm either in masturbation or in their sexual contacts with other children or older persons […]” (Kinsey quoted by Goldman 105). He also reported “15 per cent had had sex play only with boys, 18 per cent had had it only with girls, and another 15 per cent had had it with both boys and girls” (Kinsey quoted by Goldman
In her article, Jane Gerhard, describes the trends, conversations, and controversies among doctors, psychologists, and feminists in 20th century America, surrounding women’s orgasms. The titular ‘Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm’ was a 1968 treatise written by Anne Koedt. It argued against the common assertion that women received pleasure exclusively through intercourse, and explored women’s sexuality. She discusses the beliefs about the orgasm that existed in the first half of the 20th century. At this time, a “companion marriage” where a heterosexual couple would love and care for one another, and have sex, was considered the proper and “normal” thing to do (451).
Women sexuality
Ghoncheh and Smith, (2004) measured the impact of their exercise by using the Smith Relaxation States Inventory test (SRSI; Smith, 2001); a 30 item self report questionnaire measuring the 15 R-states and 3 stress states (Somatic Stress, Worry, and Negative Emotion). A 1 to 4 scale was used to rate their present feelings. Over the 5 week period participants were required to complete 12 tests; 10 before and after each session and 2 additional tests completed 3 minutes after the posttests of week 1 and 5.
The study of sexual behaviors in humans is a critical branch in science that has been overlooked for decades. Notably, this subject has always attracted negative opinions and criticism. By just mentioning the word sex around people, one is guaranteed to receive bizarre looks. Also, populations are still shying off from discussing critical topics such as women’s orgasm, erectile dysfunction, masturbation, penis, clitoris, as well as ejaculation. It is an indication that the community is yet to accept that human sexuality is an inevitable aspect of life that should be discussed comprehensively. In this context, an analysis of Mary Roach’s book, “Bonk,” will be provided to express the diverse range of attitudes and weird opinions that encompass
There has been much research directed towards unveiling the mysteries of the female orgasm. Statement number nine on “The Sexual Knowledge Survey” distributed by Nassau Community College states that, “there are two different types of biological orgasms in women: clitoral and vaginal”. Without any added research, I would automatically assume that to be correct because I believe that when a woman is stimulated in different areas in distinctive ways she will receive endless amounts of various types of responses leading to different types of orgasms. Faye Brennan submitted an article to “Women’s Health Magazine”, that not only supports my opinion but also describes in depth the differences between the various forms of an orgasm. According to Brennan,
Margaret Ann Bennett Think about the last time you exercised and think about that one (or possibly multiple) times you finished. You were most likely tired, proud of yourself, or afterwards, convinced that you would probably never exercise again. I am here to tell you about a new hobby of mine. A hobby that brings a new life to my routine; one that I look forward to and even better, it provides numerous health benefits. I wouldn’t even consider it exercise because it is so much fun.
In 1952, Dr. Kegal (gynecologist) in a report stated that the women performing the kegal exercises were experiencing the orgasmic state more frequently with more intensity and less effort. ‘...it has been found that dysfunction of the pubococcygeus exists in many women complaining of lack of vaginal feeling
Another key factor is society’s acceptance of masturbation for males, where it is seen to be deviant for females, since females are constructed as being the nurtures and therefore not promiscuous. Males feel comfortable in practising masturbation, thus knowing exactly what feels good for them and how to achieve this. Some females on the other hand find masturbation to be wrong or not lady like. Therefore, many women do not know how to achieve an orgasm. If a female is unable to bring herself to orgasm, it is very unlikely her partner will be able to as well, even if he knows how to bring other partners to climax.
Kong, Sun, Liu, and Shi (2016) analyzed the body’s response to high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) within a group of women who were classified as overweight or obese. Eighteen sedentary females between 18-30
