The female orgasm is a part of sexual health and wellness that some people struggle with. However, while some women find that the ole stand-bys—penises, vaginas, fingers, and vibrators— struggle to help them get off, others have found themselves orgasming in their sleep, on the loo or even just by sneezing! Thanks to internet hive mind Reddit, which asked the candid forum “Ladies, what was the source of your most unconventional orgasm?”, we have the weird and wonderful answers as to anything and everything that can bring the vagina-bearing masses to orgasm. So, which of these oddities might do it for your sexual wellbeing?
1. Sleeping: Reddit user lemon_SQUISH detailed, ‘I was sleeping, and had a dream about riding a bike. In the dream, I was going over a bumpy part on the road, and had an orgasm that woke me up! It was really confusing.’ GoodToSeaYou added that her pillow was the surprising source of her first orgasm. She recalled, ‘I used to sleep with a pillow between my legs and I shifted…it felt good. So I kept grinding and had my first real orgasm when I was 12-13.’
2. Ab Crunches: According to thekeyboardhero, her abs weren’t the only thing that got a bit of exercise when doing crunches at the gym. ‘I was doing my crunches as usual and then all of a sudden BOOM,’ she explained. ‘I was 15, it was amazing.’
3. Toilet Attachment: notmyusername85 commented, ‘In much of India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, they have this mini-shower head like attachment to the toilet to clean yourself after. (I believe it is called a shataf) It is a much smaller and more concentrated stream of water than a normal shower head. Well, I was on my period and thought this was a good way to clean things up if you know what I mean…I used it on my clit and had and extremely fast and powerful orgasm.’
4. Restless Foot: For Ishityounotman, a caffeine buzz while sitting with her foot underneath her was all it took: ‘I had just drunk some coffee so I had lots of energy and therefore, my other foot started shaking. The movement jostled my foot tucked under me and, a few minutes later, voila! I should note that this took place in my math class in high school.’
5. Sneezing: ‘I sneezed four times and I came,’ said take_three. ‘I’ve heard that a sneeze is like an eighth of an orgasm, but I guess for me it’s a quarter.’
6. Jeans: _squirts_ asserted, ‘I feel like every girl has a pair of jean shorts that just rubs them the right way. That one pair of jorts you wear when you know you’re going to have a really bumpy ride. I’ve lost it going over rail road tracks before. It’s a surprise every time.’
7. Peeing: ‘When I get a UTI I have one every time pee,’ noted Libida. ‘The good kind too. The doctor had no idea what to make of it. She just told me I should feel lucky. I am probably the only person who doesn’t hate UTIs. But it is very bizarre.’
8. Giving birth: MtIggy clarified, ‘I wasn’t expecting it, but it happened while giving birth to my first. I had a home birth with no meds. It was different than a regular orgasm (ie. during sex or masturbation), but was undeniably an orgasm.’
9. Wedgies: nonamesleft1 detailed, ‘I gave a friend a wedgie once (in front of a few other friends), I was pulling that underwear so hard, I was pretty determined to actually get it to go over her head…..anyway, I must have pulled at least 10 times before she said she couldn’t take it anymore…..a few years later, she told me that actually came with the last tug.’
