Controversial New Study on Orgasm and the Way Women Walk

by Suzie Heumann

Researchers from the University of the West of Scotland conducted a

study on the correlation between the way women walk and whether or

not they are vaginally orgasmic. After coming up with a set of

criteria by which to judge, they set about filming 20 women walking.

Half of the women were vaginally orgasmic (the exact definition of

what 'vaginally orgasmic' means was not given) and the other half

were self identified as not being vaginally orgasmic.

When the researchers asked the therapists, they had previously

trained with their set of criteria, to identify the women whom they

thought were vaginally orgasmic, they accurately identified 80

percent after watching them walk. The criteria involved how freely

the women walked, their open, easy gate and the hip to leg rotation

relationship of each woman. Basically, the more open, easy,

freewheeling and swinging the woman's walk was, the more orgasmic

potential she has, according to this study.

While much more needs to be done in this kind of research, I

basically believe it. Taking up dancing, yoga, ecstatic movement and

wide, freely swinging walking can free a woman's pelvis. It promotes

blood flow, confidence and joint flexibility that makes us more

alive. Get yourself a hulahoop and practice the curvaceous moves or

stand with your feet slightly apart, hands on hips and move your

pelvis in a figure-eight shape. Start slowly at first but move into

wider shapes once you know you're not going to hurt yourself.

I'll write a longer article on the benefits of movement, on the

different nerves that serve our pelvic region and our responses to

orgasm soon but for now- get moving!
