Now, that might sound a bit far-fetched, but it's actually true: achieving the ultimate pleasure during a workout is possible.According to Medicalnewstoday.com, renowned sexologist Dr. Alfred Kinsey was the first to document instances of coregasms, noting links between orgasms and exercise in his 1953 book Sexual Behavior in the Human Female.

We've all experienced that strange sensation of stepping out of the bath or swimming pool, and noticing grooves which have formed on the tips of our fingers. Have you ever wondered why that happens?
