Is the Gym the New Place for a Female Orgasm?

According to a new study, women no longer need to find a man, a vibratory or a new masturbation technique to find the elusive female orgasm – all they need to do is head to the gym! This new research has found that the new place for sexual pleasure may not be an expected one, but that the findings add to data that has been largely unstudied over the years. The phenomenon was first discovered in 1953, with research showing that around five per cent of women who were interviewed stated that they had had an orgasm linked to exercise. However, they couldn’t know the exact prevalence because because most of these women volunteered the information without being asked directly. Labelled ‘coregasms’, named as such because of the connection between orgasms and exercises for core abdominal muscles, these rumours have been circulating in the media for many years. However, despite this attention from the media, little is known about this connection in a scientific manner. Researchers used surveys to gather data surrounding this issue from 124 women who has experienced exercise-induced orgasms and 246 women who has reported exercise-induced sexual pleasure. Most of the women, who had an average age of 30, were in a relationship or married. Of the women, 69 per cent of the participants were heterosexual.

Researchers found that around 40 per cent of both groups of women has experienced this phenomenon on more than 11 occasions throughout their lives, and those in the orgasm group said that they felt some sort of embarrassment when exercising in public places in case it happened again. Most of the women spoken to said that they weren’t having a sexual fantasy or thinking about someone they’re attracted to. Around 45 per cent of the women in the study said that their experience was linked to abdominal exercises; 19 per cent said it was linked to biking or spinning; 9.3 per cent was linked to climbing poles or ropes; 7 per cent was connected to weight lifting; 7 per cent to running; the rest of the experiences included a variety of other exercises, such as yoga, swimming and elliptical machines. Exercise-induced orgasms were linked to more types of exercise than the orgasm phenomenon, according to the study.

This research offers up a variety of implications regarding female sexuality. Firstly, orgasm and sexual desire have topped the list of women’s sex concerns, with around one out of every four women not reaching orgasms during sex. But this research could suggest that physical exercise may have been overlooked in clinical approaches to the female orgasm.  Secondly, scientists have been debating the evolutionary context of the female orgasm and it’s connection to sexuality and reproduction. However, if women are experiencing orgasms in situations not connected to sex, then this study could well provide details of what the orgasm does and doesn’t have to do with sex and reproduction. Exercise-induced orgasms could be one way for scientists and women in general to learn about the process of orgasm. Researchers stated that this information could well help women to learn more about how their bodies work in that regard, which could help them develop more satisfying sex lives. Either way, this information is new and exciting to researchers who have now found more data to help them understand the female orgasm. For so many women, who find reaching orgasm difficult, this study could offer real hope into better understanding from a scientific perspective.

How to Boost Your Sexual Pleasure With Kegels

It’s advised by the experts that omen should all be doing their kegel exercises on a daily basis in order to maintain strong pelvic floor muscles, which help to maintain a good sexual function and pleasure. Many complain of a reduced sex drive and diminishing pleasure when they’ve been together for a long time, but this is a way of combating that issue. The main cause of these muscles weakening is childbirth and pregnancy, but excessive weight can also be a cause of the muscles slackening. Men can also strengthen their pelvic floor muscles, even though this is normally associated with women. Here are some of the best ways to strengthen these muscles for a better sex life with easy exercises you can do throughout the day.

 

Whilst standing

Identifying the pubococcygeus (the medical term for the pelvic floor muscles) is the first step in practicing your exercising. These are located on the broad strip which begins near the base of your spine, just above the anus, and runs up to the sphincter muscles. In order to work these muscles, you need to contract the muscles, hold for a second or two, then release. Once you’ve worked out how to do them accurately, you can do them wherever you are – from sitting at your desk at work to standing in the queue at the supermarket. You should start off contracting these muscles in the standing position, in a relaxed manner to begin with and then contracting the pelvic floor muscles around 20 to 25 times. You only need to contract these muscles though – your abdomen, thighs and hip muscles should remain relaxed.

 

Lying down

Ensure that you empty your bladder before giving these exercises a try. Lying on a mat, bend your legs at the knees, engage and contract the muscles around 20 to 25 times. Again, make sure you only contract the pelvic floor muscles – if you’re needing to contract other parts of your body, you’re not performing the exercises correctly.

 

Sitting down

Sit in a chair in a relaxed manner, keep your hands on your knees. Take a slow, deep breath in and contract the muscles along the pelvic floor. Hold your breath for around 30 seconds and keep your pelvic floor contracted the whole time. These exercises can be performed by men and women alike.

 

With an exercise ball

Sitting or leaning on an exercise ball can heighten your exercises and make them all the more powerful. Begin in a relaxed manner and either sit or lean on the ball, with your hands on the ground for additional support. Take a deep and slow breath in and contract the pelvic floor muscles. holding the muscles contracted and the breath for around 30 seconds. Slowly release the contraction as your exhale.

 

Kegel balls or cones

As an alternative to a regular exercise ball, you can use a kegel ball which has been specifically designed for this purpose. It’s made up of either plastic or metal and has a string attached so you can retrieve it easily. You insert the ball into the vagina and contract the muscles around it, trying to move it up and down using just your vaginal muscles. Kegel cones are a similar device, which vary in weight and size depending on the strength of the muscles. Naturally, given the way the device is used, these are only suitable for women. If you’re looking to boost your sexual pleasure naturally, these exercises are great for strengthening the muscles and helping you to retain better control of bladder leakages.
