hi,
I can't actually believe I am going to post this it's sooooooooooooooooo embarrasing but I'm not too sure where else to ask as non of my friends work out.

Yesterday while I was doing my 30 day shred DVD during the jumping jacks & skipping rope exercises I had a really weird feeling like I was about to orgasm :blushing: :blushing: :blushing:

this has happened once before also at the same point of this one DVD! Now trust me I am not that excited about jumping jacks for this to be explained away:laugh:

Although it isn't painful or anything it is rather distracting & I just wondered if anyone had any idea why this has happened or anything to say to stop me feeling like a complete freak!

    Jumping can effect the pelvic floor muscle which is why some women need to pee if they jump or sneeze (due to a weakened pelvic floor)

    pelvic floor muscle also plays a role in orgasms, so its makes sense that jumping could in theory lead to muscle activation and the related feelings

    So I would say thats completely normal, probably not common, as most of us are too busy dying while we work out to notice it :)

    It could also be just your pants rubbing (wow I really don't know how to put this nicely) If you have been wearing pants that are tight in that area they could be stimulating your *kitten*. You might try wearing a different kind of work out pants to see if that makes a differnce. Some pants have reinforced seams....... I wouldn't worry about it

    I would agree with the weak pelvic floor theory.

    Unfortunately I have the issue of the first line here - I suffer from mild stress incontinence (I'm 37) and it's really embarrasing. Things like suddenly having to cross your legs in the middle of the supermarket because you can feel a sneeze on its way! And jumping is not good!!

    I have been looking for an alternative to jumping jacks and the jump rope exercise but not really found anything yet.

    I'd rather have your problem LOL.
