Can women really get a core-gasm from exercise?

Dec 20, 2025
Surprising yet true, women can experience orgasms from exercise! This phenomenon, documented by Alfred Kinsey, reveals that coregasms originate from internal muscle contractions rather than external stimulation. Which workouts are involved? Activities like yoga, weightlifting, and running can trigger this unique experience. Interestingly, studies suggest that around 40% of women have encountered this during physical activities. This highlights a broader understanding of orgasms, indicating they might not be exclusively sexual.

Which Exercises Trigger Coregasms

  • Certain exercises engage the pelvic floor and perineum, making them likelier to produce corgasms.
  • Abdominal exercises and weightlifting (planking/upper-body) topped the 2011 study's list, followed by yoga, cycling, running, and hiking.
