People stunned after Sophie Habboo describes experiencing a genuine 'coregasm' in the gym

Yes, coregasms are apparently a very real thing

Influencer and former Made in Chelsea star Sophie Habboo has divided the internet by revealing that she once experienced a phenomena known as a 'coregasm' while at the gym.

Lets be honest here, the gym is probably one of the least sexual places around. From the lingering smell of body odour to grunting gym-goers attempting to outdo their personal best and the harsh fluorescent lighting. Hardly a place to enflame the senses.

And yet, it was in this sterile and unsexy environment that you may experience the fabled 'coregasm' — according to Habboo.

So, what the hell is a coregasm?

The phrase, which is a portmanteau of core and orgasm, is currently doing the rounds after Habboo broached the topic on her Wednesdays Podcast, alongside co-host Melissa Tattam, with the clip subsequently being shared to TikTok.

"I definitely remember doing an ab workout in the gym in Newcastle and being like, 'What the f**k just happened?'" she recalled of experiencing a coregasm, prompting confusion and laughter from Tattam.

"It's very common. Google it. I promise you. It was, like, a different type of orgasm, but it was something going on," she continued.

"You've just got to go hard for the core exercises. Give it a go, guys, let me know if it works out for you. I think you've got to be, like, really relaxed."

The bold admission divided listeners, with many debating whether or not a coregasm was a real thing. "Come on…… this does not happen," one person replied, while a second agreed: "In the gym cmon hahaha sorry sophie love ya but helll nooo."

However, Habboo did have some defenders, with others claiming that they'd also experienced the sensation.

"Coregasms are the best, discovered them years ago, still going strong," a third person boldly admitted.

Coregasms explained: what are they and why do they happen?

As things go, it would appear that Habboo and a small handful of viewers weren't bulls***ing us, as coregasms are actually a very real thing.

According to Healthline, a coregasm can appear during a workout that requires the body's core muscles to be engaged, which in turn can also case the pelvic muscles to tense.

Coregasms aren't considered to be connected to sexual thoughts, despite being labelled exercise-induced orgasm (EIO) or exercise-induced sexual pleasure (EISP) in scientific research. Should you want to experience one, which we don't recommend you do in public, exercises such as sit-ups, crunches or anything which engages the core and pelvic regions are the ones to go for.

It's not exactly understood why coregasms happen, but the mere existence will definitely make you want to use the sanitising spray next time you're at the gym.
