Orgasms while running?
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 second grade.
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 and in general 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.

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

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…..

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.

Hmmm…I take them where I can get them these days.
July 11th, 2007 at 21:00
After reading this post I have quite the urge to take up running……..
July 11th, 2007 at 23:50
I get the same thing from smoking.
Actually i don’t.
lucky…..

I wish every woman had what you have with every imaginable sport. Oh yes.
July 12th, 2007 at 03:31
I have no idea what to say…
July 12th, 2007 at 04:31
Maybe I need to take up running again… Hmmm.
July 12th, 2007 at 10:07
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!
July 12th, 2007 at 10:43
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.

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.
July 12th, 2007 at 16:17
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!

ahhhhh thank you! now i feel somewhat normal, just seems insane it would suddenly start happening now it MUST be an age thing as well.
July 12th, 2007 at 16:40
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.
July 12th, 2007 at 16:42

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.
July 13th, 2007 at 10:18
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.
July 13th, 2007 at 14:11
Man, I wish I had that problem.
July 13th, 2007 at 19:51
keep up the good work!
i hate running but I LOVE orgasms!~
July 15th, 2007 at 11:11
I don’t get joggers orgasms – I feel cheated! BUT I do nearly fall off the bike during my spinning class…can’t do that in a room full of sweaty people all looking at the mirrors…they’d *know*
July 18th, 2007 at 12:13
Woah! That happens to me when I have sex. Weird!
July 19th, 2007 at 16:09
lol during yoga. all the time.
July 30th, 2007 at 18:11
wow that is not a problem that is a gift.hehehe some women can’t have orgasm while you can have it every time you run.hehehe

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.
December 2nd, 2008 at 20:13
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..
December 14th, 2008 at 22:20
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.
December 26th, 2008 at 02:30
this sounds rather uncomfortable
January 29th, 2009 at 19:02
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!
June 17th, 2009 at 14:49
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.

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.
