Six minutes and six seconds into running and it happened.
The treadmill made me orgasm.
I KNOW, RIGHT?
This is a common occurrence right? It’s happened to you? Or someone you know? It’s just something we don’t discuss in front of others like farts and skidmarks?
I feel so dirty, and yet it’s not MY fault. I was doing nothing out of the ordinary. (Well except for running on a treadmill. That’s not very ordinary for me.)
Do you think anyone knew?
Because I don’t really want the reputation as “the girl who comes to the Y to get her yummies.”

Your husband is one damn lucky man.
I can’t say it’s ever happened to me on a treadmill…but I have had little minis unexpectedly in the weirdest of places.
It’s good being a girl.
And congrats on Chicago! And the car (are they in any way connected to orgasms?)!

And suddenly, I’m a LOT more interested in exercise…

I haven’t had that happen on a treadmill.
(Contemplates getting one.)
Like Christine, I’ve had mini ones as well in strange situations. They’re not too often though.

I have always looked to exercise to give me that rush of endorphins but HELLO, I have never had a rush that big! Yowsa! Talk about incentive to stick with your fitness program!

What? You have to tell me where to buy one of those treadmills. Then I shall train for a marathon.

never had one on the treadmill… though the other day I kept having them while just walking around doing normal daily activities. It was crrrrrazy. Seriously, a couple made my knees buckle.
now if you’ll excuse me, i’m heading to the gym

Orgasms running on a treadmill? While walking around??
WTF are you people eating and where can I get some???

see…. I knew I wanted a treadmill.

OK, if I could do *that* on a treadmill, I would be 30 pounds skinnier already!
Instead, I find myself addressing such machines this way:
“Not tonight, honey …”

WHAT??? If I knew I could get the O running on a treadmill I would have one smoking ass!

P.S. you should contact the treadmill company- I bet they would pay big $ for your testimony!
By on 07.04.07 2:01 am | Permalink
For real? Really? What ARE YOU DOING and tell us how to do it. I’ve been a runner my whole life and never, NEVER had that happen. I am literally sitting here with my jaw open, I swear to you. How? Seriously, if I had your number I would call you right now. That is just…wow.

Dang! It is time to clear of the treadmill and start putting some miles on it! LOL

Not sure what to say. Give me a minute. HHHHMMMM-maybe it was just a really good pee? Either way Congratulations!!

I WISH I could say the same. If it did, I’d not HATE working out as much as I do. What treadmill was this??
By on 07.04.07 4:26 am | Permalink
Hmmm, my treadmill doesn’t do that. I guess I bought the wrong model.
By on 07.04.07 4:36 am | Permalink
WOW! Your body is really appreciative that you are exercising! lol
I feel like the old lady in the cafe scene in When Harry Met Sally….”I’ll have what she’s having!”

Who are you people? And how did you get there? Exercise NEVER gave me that. My factory installed parts are defunct. I demand a refund!! I want the upgraded versions that you have, please!

At this moment my wife is dragging the treadmill out of the garage. Evidently the elliptical machine “doesn’t work right”…
By on 07.04.07 3:58 pm | Permalink
OMG… and I GAVE AWAY my treadmill when I moved!
[But at least it went to another woman.... I'm glad I told her to 'have fun' with it. Maybe she is thinking very kindly upon her memory of 'that nice lady who gave me her treadmill...']

I’m so jealous I’m going to have to call you a skank.
Now skank, if anything can motivate someone to exercise a treadmill orgasm should be it

All I can say is, WHO KNEW?!
And…congrats to you–you must be a very diligent exerciser!

Umm.
WOW.
Nope, can’t say it’s ever happened to me.
Damn.

that most definitely does *NOT* happen to me. if it did, I’d have a rock hard bod and no need for Photoshop!

wait a minute… by “treadmill” do you mean something altogether different?! (just kidding)
By on 07.04.07 9:25 pm | Permalink
I have never had one outside of the bedroom (or wherever we land) so… wow…
By on 07.05.07 1:26 am | Permalink
Uh, what kind of treadmill was that you said you had and where did you buy it ?
Must get one now!

Note to self: Switch from the pool to the treadmill.
By on 07.05.07 6:56 pm | Permalink
Um, I guess I should get off my ass and start exercising.
By on 07.05.07 6:56 pm | Permalink
The stationary bike, yes. The treadmill…nope. Lots of hard breathing and sweating, but no orgasm on the treadmill.
By on 07.05.07 7:35 pm | Permalink
Are you sure it was the treadmill or just the guy with the cute butt running in front of you?
By on 07.05.07 8:06 pm | Permalink
So much great information. I was leaning towards a stationary bike and since Jenn said it can happen there too, I won’t change machinery… What a great week YOU’RE having.
By on 07.05.07 10:27 pm | Permalink
Ummm, I must confess Yes I too but on the stair master!
By on 07.06.07 12:52 am | Permalink
Uhh… completely not fair. I’m not even sure I’m able to orgasm during sex, let alone on an average afternoon on the treadmill. What’s wrong with you? Better yet, what’s wrong with ME?!

WHAT?????????????
My wife and you need to work out.
By on 07.06.07 5:03 am | Permalink
OK, I had to link you from my post today because it was so stinking funny… and also because I too am not only the president, but a member of the “orgasm while you work out” club.

Talk about being a cheap date!
I’m thinking you may have been using the treadmill wrong. You’re supposed to walk or run on it.
Thanks for the belly laugh!
By on 07.09.07 3:47 pm | Permalink
I agree — make and model of that damn treadmill you are on girl! Mine does not do that to me. And why feel dirty??? Hell - I might need to sign up for that gym membership program!!!!
By on 07.17.07 2:58 pm | Permalink
I know you wrote this awhile ago, but I had to stop and laugh b/c I have a similar problem that NO ONE seems to share with me.
You know the piece of equipment you use to work your upper abs? You put your arms on it and then pull your legs up in a repetetive motion. By the 10th time of pulling my legs up….that’s it! It’s over!!
This consistently happens to me. Thus, I don’t use that piece of equipment anymore.
So, you are not alone. It must be an anatomy issue.

I found your blog because this happened to me today while i was out jogging. After about 25 minutes. I’m glad I’m not alone.

holy crap. i googled Working out + orgasm b/c it just happened to me today while i was doing an ab work out. where you lay down and hold a bar and repeatedly lift your legs up and down. i felt like such a freak! hahaha

So you’re the one who said this at BlogHer! I was trying to find that out for months. Too funny, and listen, if you can figure out a “how-to” of that, you could make millions teaching people “the secret”!

You know,it could hav been caused by the vitamin E capsules you took ,or someone’s been slittin’ you! …..how do I get this cramp out of my side from laffn’ so hrd?
By ...onthefloor on 12.19.07 2:03 am | Permalink
okay, so read everyone’s response and not one person knew what you were talking about. Well, darling, I totally know. Believe it or not, it’s not as gratifying as people think. You can barely finish 20 mins. I stick to the elliptical because it’s less distracting.

I had my first vaginal (not merely clitoral)orgasm while running too! I was at the park about 10 minutes into my routine and my body just exploded in pleasure. I was so embarassed but I just played it off and calmly walked home, knowing that no one else knew what had just happened.I have always wondered how that happened but figured it had to do with the muscles that were being used.

I used to get spontaneous o’s when I was on Wellbutrin (I also lost 25 lbs on this drug. It’s awesome!). Once I had a massive one in the frozen foods aisle at Safeway once. A few years later I switched from car to bike and had similar experiences, although never as good as the drug-induced kind. I should also mention I was a virgin at the time, quite innocent, and had NO CLUE what was happening the first time.

I suddenly felt I should go dust off the treadmill.
yeah, I think I’ll try running today…
By crookedeyebrow on 01.31.08 10:02 am | Permalink
So yes this has happened to me but it was a long time ago. I haven’t had it happen again, that may be do to the fact that I haven’t worn the slicky running pants since. I don’t suggest telling your husband/boyfriend because then you will never hear the end of it.
By Christina on 01.31.08 12:16 pm | Permalink
This has been happening to me for over ten years, every time I go running. I kept it a secret until a little over a year ago. I was always so embarrassed by it; however, I have no problem talking about it now.
I get the same response from nearly everyone, wow I wish this would happen to me, you are so lucky, why aren’t you running all of the time. Don’t get me wrong, I look forward to them; however, they are very distracting!
I asked a biologist friend about this, and she couldn’t figure out what is going on, So, I just keep running!

This happens to me while doing leg-raises and other ab excersises!

mmmmm, uuum well, what the…?
I do a lot of abs exercises but not much of treadmill running. But I don’t think anyone can come just like that!?

Hey Moosh: Nice to meet you the other night with the Bossy crowd.
I don’t suppose you were wearing corduroy? Probably not, while exercising…
I went to camp at Interlochen, and the girls used to joke about that (we all had to wear corduroy uniforms, the girls wore knickers, the boys, pants, and the color of the girls’ socks tell you at a glance what age group they’re in, and whether they’re in the wrong part of the camp, or out too late, etc.).

This often (but not always) happens to me when I go running. It seems more common if I’ve had a break from running and I’ve started again. Interestingly I find it hard to have an orgasm during sex and I’ve had no luck trying solo - but running does the trick easily.

HAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAA!!!
ok I’ve read all the comments and there has only been a few people out of ALLLL these people who have had this happen. Amazing! seriously… I thought that this slew of comments would have been people saying that they too knew of this … how shall we put it??? … endorphin rush?? hehehe I’ve had this happen whilst running as well, and I’ve learned to feel it coming on and sorter… ummm… distract myself I guess, for fear that if I make this a frequent thing, I won’t be able to walk down the street anymore.
I’d have to say that my first experience with exercise and orgasms has to be like the person that will never use that apparatus for the abs where you dangle using your arms to lift your body and lift your legs. I encountered this at 16 and I must say… I still can’t use it because, unlike the treadmill, I’ve not found a way to avoid saying “oh!” on this machine.

I had this happen at the age of 13. Over time, and the years… it abated.
Now, I have “treadmill days”… where I … um… wear a device for my morning run.
Shall we say… I look a lot younger than my years!

Wow, and here I was thinking that spinning class was the best place to get those on-the-go ones! (in fact, I think that is why so many go to spinning. I simply can’t see any other valid reason.)
Good to know.

I have had them and I run rarely but everytime I do I have one. I stopped running because I would get mad if I wouldn’t have a second one. I felt embarrassed when I would have them at the gym. But after being single and not having sex for 8 months I welcome any one I can get

omg ya thats happened to me… it happens to me the first 15-20 mins during running but lasts about 1 min. its random but the feeling is amazing. i still dont know why this happens. the longer i run the longer it takes for the next one to come.

Have an orgasm while exercising.
And since so many seem to have them, I’m, um, excited to achieve this goal…
