The Coregasm Workout

April 6, 2015
Kinsey Institute researcher and fitness enthusiast Herbenick draws on her studies of exercise-induced orgasms and arousal for a captivating guide to how exercise can help one feel more connected to one’s body, ultimately improving one’s sexual life. While exercise-induced arousal and orgasms are caused by “body movements and intensity during exercise,” coregasms specifically involve the abdominal muscles (i.e., the body’s core). The book draws from the experiences of various participants from Herbenick’s surveys, which include men and women from all over the world. At the crux of the Coregasm Workout are four principles, each of which receives a separate, thorough chapter with lists of exercises, along with survey responses, and easy-to-follow instructions. Embedded throughout are helpful quotes and carefully detailed exercises featuring refreshingly diverse exercise models, which will ensure the book’s appeal to women of all body types. Going by this book, Herbenick’s expertise as a sex researcher is as unimpeachable as her passion for fitness.
