Several fitness fanatics have revealed on social media that doing ab exercises leads them to experience an exercise-induced orgasm, with some insisting that the climax is ‘even better than s.e.x with a man’.
In a post shared to her Instagram Stories, New York-based fitness trainer Bec Donlan, 32, asked her followers whether they had ever had a coregasm – and was met with a slew of responses from women admitting that they often climax while working out their abs, a phenomenon that many previously thought was something only they had experienced.
After sharing a post from Medium in which the writer confessed that she only ‘works out her abs for the orgasms’, Bec, founder of Sweat With Bec, joked that coregasms could be the perfect ‘selling point’ for her training programs.
‘Coregasms are totally a thing,’ the Medium writer said in her piece, while adding: ‘Sometimes, they’re better than s.e.x with a man.’
Bec shared several responses from followers who revealed to her that they often experience coregasms while working out – and have done so frequently of late while completing an ab challenge set by the trainer, which called for participants to do 50-100 reps with an ab roller every day.
‘I had an ab roller orgasm during your 100 challenge and tbh it was one of the best things ever,’ one woman revealed.
‘This is literally why I don’t like classes that use ab rollers or certain other core movements,’ she wrote. ‘It’s awkward af in public!’
‘Ahhhh my whole life I had this issues and every trainer I asked about it always thought I was crazy. Nice to know I’m not alone,’ she said.
According to Healthline, coregasms are not entirely uncommon, particularly for women and men who are regularly working out their abs and core.
The website states the a coregasm is achieved as the result of ‘contracting the pelvic floor muscles that can be essential to achieving orgasm’, something that many women do while engaging their muscles to stabilize their core.
