zOMG! You mean moving the muscles touching and or adjacent to the female sex organs will sometimes produce pleasure or orgasm? (or that some women's 'sub'conscious are associating the exertion of exercise with that of teh sex?)
Well color me shocked this is totally unexpected and very seriously scientific information!! Truly a groundbreaking discovery.
This is news? It has to do with a woman's ability to have vaginal orgasms. And her omega-3 fatty acid levels.
No one listens to me. Call teh whaaambulance.
What would be interesting is to see how the frequency varies between all-women and coed gyms, in other words, if male pheromones wafting around have an effect.
@8: Exactly what I thought. I'd hate to have to change clothes every time I wanted to do some crunches.
@9: What, because the number 69 came up, or because the prevalence of heterosexuality in the overall female population is closer to 90%?
Could be that lesbian women are more likely to lift, or there could be some actual correlation between sexual orientation and tendency to orgasm from abdominal workouts. Or maybe lesbian women are just more likely to recognize or report such tendencies.
@12: Eh, there's a certain pleasure in being sore, fatigued, and generally worn-out. But hey, maybe that's just my slight masochistic tendencies talking.
Not only that, but as far as I'm concerned, the only orgasms I have are coregasms. If I don't flex my abs during masturbation or sex, I don't come at all.
As a kid, before I realised I could touch myself, I achieved orgasms by climbing rope. At the time I didn't connect the pleasure with my genitals at all, I thought it was ab related.
Dunno about exercise, but I believe it. Meditation (believe it or not -- try sitting rohatsu sometime) can do it. Er, and so can motorcycles, but anyone surprised at *that* needs to have their head examined.
I have definitely found myself getting a bit, umm, stimulated when doing certain weight-lifting exercises. But I always find it kinda uncomfortable, so I stop before I reach an actual "coregasm."
I've been having orgasms without touching myself since I was a teenager, and exercise wasn't even involved. Now I know what they're called. All I have to do is clench certain muscles a certain way, concentrate and shift around a little, and boom. I first discovered this trick on long family road trips, and they're still a routine way for me to pass the time on a boring road.

Glad to know I'm not a complete mutant.
Must have been some weird-ass locker room talk.

"69 percent identified themselves as heterosexual"
I thought that was an unusual statistic.

(And coregasms aside, anyone who says exercise produces endorphins that make you feel fantastic is a big fucking liar.)
Pass.
"anyone who says exercise produces endorphins that make you feel fantastic is a big fucking liar"
we're kindred spirits!!
