What is a Coregasm?

I was yesterday years old when I learned what a Coregasm was.

It’s exactly as it sounds… an orgasm in your CORE!

If you’re anything like me, you may not have known that this phenomena existed but became wildly curious once you learned it did.

Although I've not experienced one (yet) I became deeply intrigued by what and how a Coregasm came to be…pun intended.

Let’s just get into the nitty gritty shall we?

What is a Coregasm?

A Coregasm, also known as an “Exercise Orgasm” is a kind of orgasm that happens when your core muscles, especially the lower abdominals, pelvic floor, and hip flexors, are activated in just the right way.

What’s The Science Behind Coregasms?

Meet “the autonomic nervous system also known as ANS. The ANS is the part of your nervous system that works automatically without you having to think about it. It controls essential bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, breathing, and even sexual arousal.

Coregasms occur because of the way our nervous system and muscles interact.

Remember that How To Have A Nipple Orgasm blog where we learned about the brain/nipple connection? Well, the same applies here with our nervous system and muscles.

When we engage the core muscles deeply, especially during exercises like hanging leg raises, crunches, planks, and even cycling, we stimulate the pelvic floor muscles and the autonomic nervous system, the same system that controls arousal and orgasm.

Researchers believe that this stimulation can activate the sympathetic nervous system, increasing blood flow and creating sensations similar to sexual pleasure.

When I googled “what is a sympathic nervous system here’s what I learned:

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is a network of nerves that activates the body's "fight-or-flight" response. It's part of the autonomic nervous system, which also includes the parasympathetic nervous system (PANS).

What does the SNS do?

Increases heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate
Narrows blood vessels
Decreases digestive juices
Improves eyesight
Increases alertness, arousal levels, and attention
Affects mood and memory
Affects sleep-wake cycle

Thank you Google!

A study published in the journal Sexual and Relationship Therapy found that coregasms are linked to intense core engagement and lower body exercises, not necessarily sexual thoughts or stimulation. This means they’re an organic, physiological response to movement, proving how deeply connected our bodies are to pleasure.

Who Experiences Coregasms?

While coregasms can happen to anyone, research suggests they’re more common in women than men! Yay! This is due to anatomical differences in pelvic floor structure and nerve sensitivity.

- A study by Dr. Debby Herbenick and her team at Indiana University found that around 10% of women have experienced a coregasm during exercise.

- Among men, reports of exercise-induced orgasms are less common but still possible, often triggered by intense core work or prolonged cycling.

- Women who experience coregasms often report them happening most frequently during hanging leg raises, captain’s chair exercises, and rope climbing.

How To Have A Coreorgasm

First things first, this is not an invitation to be a creep. Sexual excitement should only be expressed around consenting parties. Although we understand Coregasms can’t always be controlled. It is important to be mindful of when and where these are being expressed.

I recommend the safety of your own home (or maybe an empty abandoned gym with no staff, if that’s your thing).

The key is activating the right muscles, mainly your lower abs, pelvic floor, and hip flexors.

These are the same muscles that play a role in orgasmic pleasure. The stronger and more engaged these muscles are, the more likely you are to experience that wave of unexpected ecstasy.

These moves are known to trigger that deep, pleasure-inducing engagement:

Hanging Leg Raises (Top Coregasm Move)
- Hang from a pull-up bar or use a captain’s chair.
- Slowly lift your legs toward your chest, keeping your core tight.
- Lower with control and repeat.
- Why? The deep contraction of your lower abs and pelvic floor can send you over the edge.

Reverse Crunches
- Lie on your back, lift your legs, and curl your hips up.
- Move slowly and intentionally.
- Why? That upward motion creates pressure in all the right places.

Plank Holds (Especially Side Planks)
- Engage your core and glutes while holding.
- Breathe deep and stay aware of the sensations.
- Why? The sustained tension can build up the perfect storm of pleasure.

Bicycle Crunches
- Focus on slow, controlled movements, really twisting through your core.
- Why? It stimulates the deep muscles connected to pleasure.

Rope Climbing or Pull-ups
- If you have access to a rope or pull-up bar, use it!
- Why? The full-body engagement + core tension = potential bliss.

Step 3: Breathe, Feel, and Let Go

Coregasms happen when you’re deeply engaged but also relaxed enough to let pleasure flow. Pay attention to how your body feels during each movement. If you notice a tingling or build-up of pleasure, keep going but don’t force it.

I’d also like to note if you have pelvic floor dysfunction of any kind it’s important to consult with a specialist to make sure the exercises you are practicing are not worsening your Pelvic Floor Dysfunction.

And there you have it!
