A new study from the University of Indiana says exercise can induce orgasms in women. As for the guys, well, they are trailing when it comes to exercise induced orgasms - they are considered rare in men.
Debby Herbenick the co-director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at the School of Health lead the study of exercise induced orgasms. And yes there is a name for it - Coregasm
She says "About 40 percent of women who had experienced EIO and EISP had done so on more than 10 occasions. The most common exercises associated with exercise-induced orgasm were abdominal exercises, climbing poles or ropes,
biking/spinning and weight lifting," Herbenick said. "These data are interesting because they suggest that orgasm is not necessarily a sexual event, and they may also teach us more about the bodily processes underlying women's experiences of orgasm."
The study conducted an online survey of women where researchers asked women if they had ever experienced exercise induced orgasm (refered to as EIO). One hundred and twenty-four women responded that they had experienced exercise induced orgasm.
The questions also asked women resoondents if they experienced exercise induced sexual pleasure (EISP). Two hundred and forty-six respondents said yes. Since the scientific data on sexual induced orgasms and pleasure are slim, respondents were asked to fill in as many details and anecdotes as possible.

Key Findings Exercise Induced Orgams Study | Univeristy of Indiana
- About 40 percent of women who had experienced EIO and EISP had done so on more than 10 occasions.
- Most of the women in the EIO group reported feeling some degree of self-consciousness when exercising in public places, with about 20 percent reporting they could not control their experience.
- Most women reporting EIO said they were not fantasizing sexually or thinking about anyone they were attracted to during their experiences.Diverse types of physical exercise were associated with EIO and EISP. Of the EIO group, 51.4 percent reported experiencing an orgasm in connection with abdominal exercises within the previous 90 days. Others reported experiencing orgasm in connection to such exercises as weight lifting (26.5 percent), yoga (20 percent), bicycling (15.8), running (13.2 percent) and walking/hiking (9.6 percent).
- In open-ended responses, ab exercises were particularly associated with the "captain's chair," which consists of a rack with padded arm rests and back support that allows the legs to hang free. The goal is to repeatedly lift the knees toward the chest or toward a 90-degree angle with the body.
