Gait may be associated with orgasmic ability

[n2doc]

A new study found that trained sexologists could infer a woman's history of vaginal orgasm by observing the way she walks. The study is published in the September 2008 issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine, the official journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine and the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health.

Led by Stuart Brody of the University of the West of Scotland in collaboration with colleagues in Belgium, the study involved 16 female Belgian university students. Subjects completed a questionnaire on their sexual behavior and were then videotaped from a distance while walking in a public place. The videotapes were rated by two professors of sexology and two research assistants trained in the functional-sexological approach to sexology, who were not aware of the women's orgasmic history.

The results showed that the appropriately trained sexologists were able to correctly infer vaginal orgasm through watching the way the women walked over 80 percent of the time. Further analysis revealed that the sum of stride length and vertebral rotation was greater for the vaginally orgasmic women. "This could reflect the free, unblocked energetic flow from the legs through the pelvis to the spine," the authors note.

There are several plausible explanations for the results shown by this study. One possibility is that a woman's anatomical features may predispose her to greater or lesser tendency to experience vaginal orgasm. According to Brody, "Blocked pelvic muscles, which might be associated with psychosexual impairments, could both impair vaginal orgasmic response and gait." In addition, vaginally orgasmic women may feel more confident about their sexuality, which might be reflected in their gait. "Such confidence might also be related to the relationship(s) that a woman has had, given the finding that specifically penile-vaginal orgasm is associated with indices of better relationship quality," the authors state. Research has linked vaginal orgasm to better mental health.

The study provides some support for assumptions of a link between muscle blocks and sexual function, according to the authors. They conclude that it may lend credibility to the idea of incorporating training in movement, breathing and muscle patterns into the treatment of sexual dysfunction.

"Women with orgasmic dysfunction should be treated in a multi-disciplinary manner" says Irwin Goldstein, Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine."Although small, this study highlights the potential for multiple therapies such as expressive arts therapy incorporating movement and physical therapy focusing on the pelvic floor."

3. "Vaginal orgasm"? WTF?

17. Really! WTF?

Not this shit again. :banghead:

[mhatrw]

23. There are generally two types of orgasms.

Clitoral and fake.

[LisaM]

4. How is this of any use?

I've read through it and I don't understand. Should I be trying to walk differently?

[Botany]

9. Do you wanna go for a walk?

I love science

[Kindigger]

10. After a real good time

you should be walking bow-legged, right?:shrug:

[Hannah Bell]

18. no, it just means can men can tell you're "hot" by how you walk.

you can't change it. it's innate, probably genetic or something.

sarcasm, in case there was doubt.

20. This might contribute to evolutionary theory

About 10 years ago there was a spate of scholarship about the role of women and sex in human evolution, especially things like mate selection -- a topic that had been overlooked in the previous emphasis on male activities like hunting and tool making.

One topic of that scholarship was on role of permanent sexual receptivity in women (rare in the animal world) and orgasm. One theory was that orgasm actually drew sperm up to the fallopain tubes, making pregnancy more likely. So women who had orgasms and men who could cause a woman to have orgasm were more likely pass their genes to the next generation.

One implication of the study is that if women could signal their orgasmic capability and if men could determine which women were orgasmic before having sex with them, these would also be positive factors in passing genes to the next generation.

22. I recall some of that; however...

I thought that it was concluded that the rhythmic contractions accompanying female orgasm actually create a downward current, rather than drawing sperm up into the uterus. Am I mis-remembering? Possibly!

Of course, that doesn't mean that what you're describing is incorrect; the downward current would give an advantage to the more robust sperm able to swim upstream, which might in turn lead to hardier offspring.

5. Let me get this straight - they videotape women's butts as they walked?

I'm crackin up visualizing this. They must have looked like perverts.

8. Hey- They are "Professional Sexologists!!"

Don't try this at home :rofl:
