Coregasm
Exercise speeds up your heart rate, breathing, and muscle contraction, resembling an orgasm. This could explain why some women have orgasms while training. A 2012 study published in Sexual and Relationship Therapy found that exercise can cause orgasms, commonly called "coregasms" because they are often triggered by abdominal exercises.
In a survey of 124 women who had experienced exercise-induced orgasms and 246 who had felt sexual pleasure from exercising, about 40% reported experiencing it more than 10 times. Sit-ups were most associated with these orgasms (51.4%), but they also occurred during weight lifting (26.5%), yoga (20%), cycling (15.8%), running (13.2%), and walking/hiking (9.6). % ).
Although the reasons for exercise-induced orgasms remain under study, their intensity, like other orgasms, appears to be linked to breathing, a key tool in sexual pleasure.
Nipple Orgasm
Your nipples, especially because they are a specific erogenous zone, have a direct nerve ending that connects to the clitoral network,” explains Engle. “When you stimulate the nipples, you are sending these connections to the clitoris.”
Essentially, sensory activity from the breasts projects to the same neurons that receive sensory activity from the genitals, and these neurons produce and secrete oxytocin in the same way, according to a 2011 article published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
“No matter where in the body an orgasm is triggered, all orgasms ultimately occur in the brain and in different areas of the brain,” adds Carrellas. “Neurologically, orgasm appears to be very similar to meditation, in the sense that the areas of the brain that are activated depend in part on the type of stimulus that brought us to that meditative or orgasmic state.”
Zone orgasm
The "zone orgasm" is a type of orgasm that does not require genital stimulation. According to 2011 research published in Sexual and Relationship Therapy, this occurs when areas of the body that are not usually erotic are stimulated. Of 216 people surveyed, 31 women experienced orgasms in areas such as the neck, earlobes, armpits, hips, thighs, fingers, and even when kissing. Engle suggests that any part of the skin can be erogenous if you choose, highlighting places like the backs of the knees or the scalp. The power of the mind also plays an important role: research from Rutgers University shows that imagining genital stimulation can activate the same areas of the brain as physical stimulation. Some women even report psychic orgasms, which occur during dreams, reinforcing the idea that erotic thoughts can lead to real sexual experiences.
Anal Orgasm
An anal orgasm occurs when stimulation of the anal area leads to intense pleasure and climax. This type of orgasm can result from direct or indirect stimulation of nerve endings around the anus, which are highly sensitive and connected to other erogenous zones. For some, the pressure from anal play can also stimulate the prostate (for men) or the vaginal walls (for women), enhancing the experience. While it requires relaxation and trust, an anal orgasm can be a powerful and fulfilling form of sexual pleasure.
Emotional Orgasm
Orgasms are not always sexual. "Emotional orgasms," as Carrellas calls them, combine breathing, movement, sound and muscle contractions, followed by a release. They are not always erotic emotions.
Carrellas mentions that laughing until you can hardly breathe or feeling relief after crying intensely are examples of these emotional orgasms, which can include anger or any other emotion. Physiologically, they work the same as a genital orgasm, only they require concentration, whether on non-sexual emotions or eroticism.
Enhancing Intimacy with Sex Toys
Sex toys can be a powerful tool for exploring and achieving different types of orgasms, whether alone or with a partner. They come in many shapes and forms, designed for various types of stimulation, from targeted vibrators for clitoral pleasure to G-spot stimulators, vibrators and even products tailored for men. Adding toys to your intimacy routine can help you discover new levels of pleasure, learn what brings you the most satisfaction, and enhance your connection with your own body or with a partner.
