The female orgasm is a part of sexual health and wellness that some people struggle with. However, while some women find that the ole stand-bys—penises, vaginas, fingers, and vibrators— struggle to help them get off, others have found themselves orgasming in their sleep, on the loo or even just by sneezing! Thanks to internet hive mind Reddit, which asked the candid forum “Ladies, what was the source of your most unconventional orgasm?”, we have the weird and wonderful answers as to anything and everything that can bring the vagina-bearing masses to orgasm. So, which of these oddities might do it for your sexual wellbeing?


 


1. Sleeping: Reddit user lemon_SQUISH detailed, ‘I was sleeping, and had a dream about riding a bike. In the dream, I was going over a bumpy part on the road, and had an orgasm that woke me up! It was really confusing.’ GoodToSeaYou added that her pillow was the surprising source of her first orgasm. She recalled, ‘I used to sleep with a pillow between my legs and I shifted…it felt good. So I kept grinding and had my first real orgasm when I was 12-13.’


 


2. Ab Crunches: According to thekeyboardhero, her abs weren’t the only thing that got a bit of exercise when doing crunches at the gym. ‘I was doing my crunches as usual and then all of a sudden BOOM,’ she explained. ‘I was 15, it was amazing.’


 


3. Toilet Attachment: notmyusername85 commented, ‘In much of India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, they have this mini-shower head like attachment to the toilet to clean yourself after. (I believe it is called a shataf) It is a much smaller and more concentrated stream of water than a normal shower head. Well, I was on my period and thought this was a good way to clean things up if you know what I mean…I used it on my clit and had and extremely fast and powerful orgasm.’


 


4. Restless Foot: For Ishityounotman, a caffeine buzz while sitting with her foot underneath her was all it took: ‘I had just drunk some coffee so I had lots of energy and therefore, my other foot started shaking. The movement jostled my foot tucked under me and, a few minutes later, voila! I should note that this took place in my math class in high school.’


 


5. Sneezing: ‘I sneezed four times and I came,’ said take_three. ‘I’ve heard that a sneeze is like an eighth of an orgasm, but I guess for me it’s a quarter.’


 


6. Jeans: _squirts_ asserted, ‘I feel like every girl has a pair of jean shorts that just rubs them the right way. That one pair of jorts you wear when you know you’re going to have a really bumpy ride. I’ve lost it going over rail road tracks before. It’s a surprise every time.’


 


7. Peeing: ‘When I get a UTI I have one every time pee,’ noted Libida. ‘The good kind too. The doctor had no idea what to make of it. She just told me I should feel lucky. I am probably the only person who doesn’t hate UTIs. But it is very bizarre.’


 


8. Giving birth: MtIggy clarified, ‘I wasn’t expecting it, but it happened while giving birth to my first. I had a home birth with no meds. It was different than a regular orgasm (ie. during sex or masturbation), but was undeniably an orgasm.’


 


9. Wedgies: nonamesleft1 detailed, ‘I gave a friend a wedgie once (in front of a few other friends), I was pulling that underwear so hard, I was pretty determined to actually get it to go over her head…..anyway, I must have pulled at least 10 times before she said she couldn’t take it anymore…..a few years later, she told me that actually came with the last tug.’

Hay fever affects around 20 percent of people in the UK according to research, but for many people who have this condition this means summers filled with sinus problems and sneezing. Also known as allergic rhinitis, hay fever is the allergic reaction by the body to pollens which are breathed in or which get into the eyes. It’s most commonly birch pollen which causes hay fever in people, which is released in March, and grass pollen which develops in late May. However, depending on which type of pollen you’re allergic to you can have symptoms at any time of the year. It’s important to remember with any complementary therapy, there are limited studies to prove the effectiveness of the treatment – you should always consult your GP before starting any new treatment to ensure that it is safe.


 


Homeopathy is a form of treatment which is based on the theory of ‘like for like’. In the form of allergies, this means using anti-allergy herbs and ingredients which can ease the sneezing and itching symptoms attached to hay fever. Homeopathic nasal sprays often include ingredients such as traces of red onion which relieves runny noses, nasal irritation and sneezing. Pollenna is another treatment which provides tablets to be sucked or chewed every two hours, six times a day, until your symptoms begin to wane. Infrared light has limited scientific proof attached to it, but there have been trials carried out which reveal that 72 percent of hay fever patients claimed to have a reduced level of symptoms and felt better overall. This is because infrared light consists of wavelengths which have been proven to trigger the healing of nasal membranes, helping to soothe hay fever in sufferers. Membranes can become damaged during this time, so membrane protectors are a great idea. Cellulose powder is applied to the nasal passages which forms a coating on the nose and traps allergens before they can get into the respiratory passages which can be irritating.


 


Nasal sprays are often considered by most to be the top product to use during bouts of hay fever, with 77 percent of people claiming that they’re successful in reducing hay fever symptoms. Used in the long-term, it can even help to prevent hay fever from developing or getting worse. If you want to get the same effect, a little Vaseline rubbed just inside the nose can protect the membranes and trap pollen before it is inhaled.


 


There are ways to treat your hay fever with your lifestyle changes and diet as well. The air you breathe plays a big part in how bad your symptoms are, so an air purifier could be beneficial in cleaning this and helping to reduce the amount of pollen in it. If you’re venturing outdoors, it may be worthwhile to check the pollen count before you leave the house and stay away from parks and nature-rich areas where the pollen will be worse. Garlic is a great addition to your diet if you have hay fever, as it is a natural antihistamine, as is local honey which can desensitise the immune system so it doesn’t react quite so strongly to pollens. Green tea is also a great choice, as this can bolster the immune system and soothe the throat. As with any condition, a healthy diet in general will keep your body working on top form and will strengthen your immune system. If you are worried about your condition, seek advice from your GP who can advise of any other treatment options.
