Orgasms while running?

Published on July 11, 2007 by Corinna Carlson | 39 Comments

Now this is a strange one. Twice since I started running again just over a month ago I have out of no where suddenly felt incredibly turned on. The first time it wasn’t so bad it was a mild annoyance and I was chuckling at the fact that it felt like I could have an orgasm any second. This had never happened to me and aside from being out with an injury for WAY TOO LONG, I have been running since the first or second grade.

almost ready to go.. Today it happened again but it was worse and there were people all around me and I was dying to slam my hand between my legs and diddle, at one point I did have to pull my shorts up into my area as some sort of deterrent because it was becoming rather powerful I almost had to slap my hand away a few times as it tried to creep down there, it was really that bad. This normally rather enjoyable feeling was this time actually painful and seriously what the bloody hell is this I’m not thinking about doing it while I am running and ALL the blood can’t be rushing there or I’d pass out, it comes out of no where and then the feeling just disappears as mysteriously as it appeared.

Then I get home and John and I start talking about Runners High we both agree to being happier when running [his post is much deeper than that though], I OF COURSE did not mention what had happened on my run, a wee bit inappropriate for MSN but I was having a laugh on my end, had I been talking to Rebecca on the other hand I’d have been all HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU DURING ANY SPORT???? I am seriously baffled by this and I want it to stop I do not want to be in the middle of a ten k training run and instead of stopping to run hills or do timed sprints I have to drop down and masturbate, or worse yet have it happen in a race. This is NOT runners high. Runners high to me is what got me through my half marathon, I had NO IDEA how much pain I was really in until I crossed the finish line and I also believe it to be the feeling like you can run forever that comes over you or comes over me, it was during one of those runs that I injured myself on in the first place. Being on a runners high is no different than any other high it must be handled responsibly or you can and will get hurt, your body makes you believe you can do things you simply can’t, stupid excessive endorphins.

     As a male I’ve felt this happen before, but not really during the running part (Due to the fact I hate running). I was out during hunting season a few months ago and it felt like a wave just hit me, but I felt no normal feeling that males are accustomed to “down there.”

  • wicked

    oh god…im not alone…this happened when i got lost in the city and was running around looking for my friends, i almost came then the feeling just ebbed away

  • Cindy

    I’m so glad I found this because today this happened to me… I was running on the treadmill when bam it hit me… I clamped my legs shut cuz I was trying to keep running… Then about 3 minutes later it happens again! It is so weird that I orgasm while running… I’m only eighteen and not very developed lol. But good to know that other people have the same experiences… :)

  • ColeC

    It happens to me every time I run. It’s like my legs get heavy but I know I have to push through it and then….BAM.

  • Sexy.Runner

    This has happened to me many times! I’ve always been embarrassed to bring it up with my friends. I absolutely love the feeling of it! It seems to occur when I’m doing my sprint workouts. It always feels amazing and when I’m as the gym, I have to be conscious of what I say or how I act. At that point in time, it rev’s my sex drive up to fuck the nearest hottest guy.

  • Lynch

    I’m glad to no I’m not the only one…. happened to me for the first time 2 weeks ago… during gym class (yes im in high school) … cant say it feels like a blessing when ur legs go weak in the middle of a running exam :S

    Thank you so much for this post.
    I began running this week, and up until today, was confined to a treadmill. Since it was gorgeous and cool outside, I ran a track around a park. About 3/4 of the way around the first loop, I had an orgasm! What a total & complete shocker! My clothes are actually quite baggy due to losing so much weight from gardening lately, so that was not the cause. I just felt only slightly exhilarated, with mild panting, but felt FABULOUS, then all of a sudden….. WHOOSH….!!!
    Obviously I found your post today because I’m trying to find out what happened to me. My running friends have never heard of this before & are telling me of their jealousy, but I don’t want to wear a diaper every time I decide to run. I guess I could see it as a wonderful, glorious thing, but I could also see it being a very messy new addiction.

  • ellie

    This happens to me every day when i run. its when your pants or shorts are rubbing against you with the action of your running/cycling/walking. it is very of putting as my legs go weak, which isn’t good when you are on a run and your friend doesn’t know whats wrong with you. i knew i wouldnt be the only one.

  • Lauren

    This happens to me a lot.
    Its really confusing!
    Ive never had sex and i’m only 15.
    But the way people describe orgasms that’s to me how it would feel.
    It’s insane!

    this sounds rather uncomfortable

  • Trevor

    This happened to me once on my bike and once at the chiropractor’s. The first scenario wasn’t too bad the second a little embarrassing.

  • Ashley

    it happened to me today when i was running on the treadmill!! i’m glad to hear i’m not the only one. i don’t think i consider it to be such a problem though.. :D

  • Me Too

    This just happened to me tonight except I think that I actually O’d. It used to happen to me during puberty, but I haven’t really done much running since then. I’m glad to find out I’m not the only one and now I don’t feel completely crazy.

  • Rhonda

    Definately inspired to take up running!!!!!!! But I think I ‘ll do it in the lake. That way I don’t have to worry if I must.

    That totally used to happen to me when I was doing strenuous exercise in aerobics classes. I’d read or heard about it somewhere before, apparently it is pretty common.

  • http://www.findingnorway.com {illyria}

    holy cow, i once had a mini-orgasm riding my bike! (maybe that’s why i have a healthy preoccupation with bicycles) thank god you posted this–i completely forgot about it. i’m gonna make a factsheet now and include that in the list. :)

  • http://www.gusgreeper.com gusgreeper

    Damn! I think I might have to take up running! ;P just kidding, I have 3 girlfriends who run seriously…they do marathons and the whole works adn I’ve heard them talk about this a couple of times. From what I’ve heard it’s normal!

    I once (yes once) ran a 10K and only remember being sore for a week after the fact. You definitely have much better experiences when it comes to running.

  • stephanie

    I wish that was the case for me too, but like I told you, coffee has the same effect on me. Once the caffeine kicks in? I’m a raging nympho. LOL.

  • http://thefunkybee.blogspot.com thefunkybee

    Sounds like from now on you better make sure Adam is around every time you decide to do some running. And if thats what happened to me when I ran I would be slapping on some running shoes right now and hitting the pavement. Maybe that’s why I hate running so much…I don’t have orgasms during the exercise!

    Maybe I need to take up running again… Hmmm.

  • Jacki

    After reading this post I have quite the urge to take up running…….. :)

    Hmmm…I take them where I can get them these days. ;)

    one time, i was walking home from work and i walked up on a guy facing my direction, beside a car against the wall staring me down as i got closer, he was moving and i couldn’t figure out what he was doing until i got closer and realized he was masturbating i felt violated for weeks. i still think about it when i walk by there and he was just givin’er my walking by i’d assume was just a bonus.

    Well that is certainly quite the surprise. I wonder what they reaction would be if you were to stop somewhere and just finish yourself off. If a man did it, it would be considered really creepy and gross. I wonder if people would think the same for a woman, or maybe they wouldn’t even notice. Hmmm…..

    Maybe your shorts are too tight, you should wear baggier shorts. No wait, women runners in tight shorts make ME orgasm. Nevermind.
