Gymgasm: Here's how to make your workout extremely pleasurable

January is a time for a mental and physical reset, and for some that looks like promising to go the gym more than the year before. Now, we commend all those looking to amp up their physical routine for health improvements, but we are here to remind you that attending to your sexual health should also be a priority, as it affects both your mental and physical well-being.

So why not join the two together...? What if we told you that you could attend to your sexual satisfaction whilst also at the gym? Yes, that's right, the gymgasm is a new phenomenon, with many social media users giving anecdotal evidence of this occurrence happening to them.

So what is a gymgasm and how can you achieve one?

What is a gymgasm?

A gymgasm, also commonly referred to as a coregasm,is an orgasm sustained while at the gym. This typically occurs during exercise that engages the pelvic floor muscles, such as ab workouts.

This exercise-induced orgasm comes about due to the relationship between your nerves and muscles. When activating the abdominal and pelvic muscles, the pudendal nerve also activates, a branch of which is responsible for clitoral function. If this branch of the nerve is repeatedly engaged, it can result in stimulation of the inner-clit, resulting, for some, in orgasm.

So how can I have one?

It is reported that 1 in 10 vagina owners have had a gymgasm at least once in their life, with a smaller percentage experiencing them more frequently. Similarly, penis owners are not exempt from experiencing such a pleasurable gym session, but the likelihood of achieving the big O while working out is slightly slimmer.

To increases your chances of having your very own sensual gym session, try mixing cardio, which gets the blood pumping, with challenging exercises that focus on the core and hip flexors.

And even if you don't cum, those exercise-released endorphins will still make sure you have a good time!
