The Orgasm Workout?

An Orgasm Workout That Works

After my totally non-orgasmic workout, I checked in with personal trainer Ashley Borden. "Ab moves that trigger an orgasm?" she laughed. "That's never happened to me or to anyone I've trained, at least in front of my face. But a strong pelvic floor absolutely, 1,000 percent adds to your sex life."

Rather than the ballistic ab moves I tried, she suggested modified versions. "For 90 percent of people, lifting one leg at a time, rather than both at once, is best." She also suggested a more internal workout. Yes, the magic of kegels.

Ready to rest on my rumor-debunking laurels, I called my friend Wendy to brag. "Coregasms, ha! Men are ridiculous."

"Other people have coregasms too!?" Wendy said. "I always thought it was just me!" Apparently leg lifts really do it for her.

And so the rumor lives on. Want to try for a coregasm yourself? Give these lower ab moves a spin.
