Another Reason to Exercise: Coregasms!
My pal DearSugar writes about sex daily. She can tell you how to have a better orgasm, and I can tell you the health benefits of having them regularly. Having sex not only relieves stress, but it also boosts your immunity. Most of the time you find the big "O" behind closed doors, but this just in — many women are experiencing them in the gym. I'm talking about something called a coregasm.
Have I caught your attention yet? If so read more.
This astounding fitness phenomenon known as the coregasm is actually pretty common. Women experience them when working their core muscles, whether they're doing crunches, strengthening leg lifts, or backbends in a yoga class (talk about an enlightening experience!). According to sex therapist, Dr. Victoria Zdrok,
"A lot of women require a buildup of tension in their legs before they can achieve the release of orgasm. So, when a woman exercises, the release of endorphins and dopamine, which are necessary for orgasm, combined with the tension in the lower extremities, can cause the clitoral stimulation [that is needed]."
It happens when women tap into the muscles in their deep core, quads, or thighs. They end up automatically squeezing the pelvic muscles which triggers nerve impulses, and voilà — a coregasm is born. One squeeze won't necessarily work, but if you're doing many repetitions, that much stimulation can cause intense pleasure in your nether region. If that doesn't get you to the gym, then I don't know what will!
Tell me ladies, have you ever experienced a coregasm while working out?
