Monday: "From Crunches to Climax…"

A while ago, Andy posted a story that was based on a study about females and exercise-induced orgasms. I was skeptical that there were real life women having orgasms during workouts. So like the investigative journalist that I strive to be, I looked into it.

From humourous testimonials, to expert opinions – both in the fields of exercise physiology and psychology – what I discovered fascinated me.

Is Kermit one of the lucky ladies reaching climax during an L-Sit??

The result was this story that’s in the JOURNAL this evening.
