While some are <\/span>afflicted with anorgasmia<\/span><\/a> \u2013 the inability to orgasm \u2013 there are those for whom the pendulum swings the entirely opposite way: people who have orgasms at any time at all, uncontrollably. \u00a0These people suffer from what\u2019s called persistent genital stimulation. And yes, it is an affliction that people actually suffer from.<\/span><\/p>\n

However today we aren\u2019t talking about persistent genital stimulation. Today, we\u2019re talking about something that is perhaps as rare and as coveted as the fabled unicorn: the accidental orgasm.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just what it says on the tin: an unintentional climax. An orgasm brought about by non-sexual stimulation in a place or context that you\u2019d not expect (or perhaps even want) it to occur in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does Everyone Experience Accidental Orgasms?<\/h3>\n

Perhaps it has even happened to you, in a perfect storm or circumstances. Or, just as likely, it hasn\u2019t; everyone requires different kinds and levels of stimulation to get off. For many, the physical, mental and emotional factors<\/a> come into play and it\u2019s very hard to tick all of these boxes unintentionally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people will go their whole lives without experiencing an accidental orgasm. People with high sex drives<\/a> report having them more often, due to being more receptive or open to the stimulation they are receiving from say, a bike seat or a super rumbly subway car.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Accidental Orgasms Occur<\/h3>\n

Unconsciously. Perhaps you\u2019re riding a bike or a motorcycle. Maybe you\u2019re sitting on the dryers at the Laundromat. Suddenly, it starts feeling really, <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> good; perhaps you know what\u2019s coming so you lean in to it, or maybe it takes you totally by surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Others report experiencing an accidental or unexpected orgasm while taking a brisk walk or while running; genitals rubbing on tight workout clothes and strenuous, repetitive movement can drive some over the edge to where they will climax unexpectedly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wet dreams are classified as accidental orgasms, but similarly some people have been known to \u2018<\/span>think themselves off<\/span><\/a>\u2019 with a specific mental image that has made them come immediately. It sounds very rare \u2013 unlikely, even \u2013 but there are many who claim it to have happened to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or imagine this: you\u2019re at the gym, planking or doing crunches when all of a sudden you\u2019re hit with an overwhelming orgasm that emanates from somewhere deep within. Congratulations, you\u2019ve just had a coregasm! There\u2019s no definitive answer on what causes the coregasm, but the combo of abdominal flexing, tensing and releasing of the pelvic muscles and endorphin release from working out might be the combination that does the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Have an Accidental Orgasm<\/h3>\n

Well if you have to try, then it\u2019s not accidental, is it? They\u2019re already quite rare things, these accidental orgasms, so if you\u2019ve never had one, don\u2019t fret. However if you\u2019re really looking to make one happen in your life, maybe finally take that cross-country motorcycle tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do activities that provide constant, light friction to your nether regions a la very tight clothes and repetitive movements, or do intense exercise that puts pressure on <\/span>your pelvic floor muscles<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

So many people report experiencing their first orgasm \u2013 accidentally \u2013 while on horseback. If accidental, we can certainly see why it would occur, what with the saddle pressing against the vulva and clitoris. but to go seeking an accidental orgasm from a horse who never signed up for it? Kind of ick.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our advice? Hop on a bike, ride like hell to a gym, do some squats and crunches, maybe consider a risqu\u00e9 piercing, and keep waiting for the miracle.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
