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.”
some female orgasms only last 3 seconds
Its an interesting study but it reveals very little unfortunately. There are many other ways to study and learn how to achieve orgasm for women.
I don’t see how the “stride” reveals anything at all. I think its more about figuring out the right techniques.

I have never given much thought to how I walk after sex as it varies so much as do the orgasms! All sorts of factors influence my gait and my orgasms. I have read or heard so much about whether there is a vaginal orgasm , a clitoral orgasm, a mixture of both, a nipple orgasm (never experienced one of those but heard about it from a friend) that it becomes confusing as to what the exact truth of the matter is!
Personally as I have experienced a vast variety of orgasms which were affected by all sorts of factors such as mood, the man’s ability to LISTEN to what his partner wants, his skill, the time of the month (hormones), the tempertaure (sunshine and heat appear to make people hornier and therefore also affect their orgasms), what is on a person’s mind, what the person is listening to or hearing, what worries they might have, or not, as the case may be, what they are smelling etc etc…
There are SO many things that have affected me personally, so I can agree with so many people’s very contrasting experiences. So my point is here that EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT. So everybody perceives their own orgasmic experience from THEIR point of view. Another point I would like to make is that these studies which have been carried out in Scottish and Belgian universities are not taking everything into account and so I believe them to be too superficial.
So to some up : ALL orgasms are real and all orgasms are obviously very different for different people. There is no right or wrong here! There is just a huge variety of different experiences!

So Anonymous, I’m already breaking this rule by being a man, but are you really a woman? Cause if you are I truly feel sorry for you. I’m not going to claim that every women I’ve been with has had an orgasm, especially not the first time… but wow, to think just because a man ejaculates he is having a full blown orgasm and “nothing is missing” is just plain ignorant. Most men don’t know they are missing anything, easily I can give you that, but an orgasm is a torrent of pleasure of which the body cannot control its reactions as endorphines are released on a massive scale. Either you don’t want to feel good during sex because you feel or have been taught its dirty, or you have not been able to attain the right “state of mind”, for instance I know many lesbians who talk or claim about inducing orgasm by just talking, no touching involved, and/or recieving the same. As A man I can’t quite relate, I want to touch too much, but I do understand that palcing the woman into a receptive state with words easily can facilitate the goal of getting her to orgasm, in fact im not satisfied and will not come until I know my partner has had at least one real orgasm, whether my coming is a real orgasm or not actually depends upon my own state of mind and whether my partner actually attempts to enhance my own pleasure.
For all the women that say it is impossible to have a vaginal orgasm you may be telling the truth for yourself if a women doesnt want something and doesnt want it to feel good i promise you it wont. However if your open minded and you have both a healthy body and mind it is possible it might not always work but it can at least happen. My proof for all of this is tantra/hypnotisim/
Also because i know for many women it is hard and you get this peeing feeling that actually means your doing it right and that having a vaginal orgasm is possible with no clitoral stimulation.
I feel sorry for you!!
How on earth could a sensible person who spent years at school come to give such crap. Am a man and my wife does come in all ways. Some one must be a failure somewher and would like to setlle score with the great sex others enjoy.
In response to the morons who cite “hyperbolic” femininism that supposedly claimed that women cannot have vaginal orgasms, I suggest you get your facts right. I am a graduate instructor of women’s sexuality.
Freud’s frigidigy has long been used to constrain female sexuality and this article is but a recent recurrence in a long line of attempts to tell women that there is a right and wrong way to acheive an orgasm. We should not have to fit our anatomies into an A OR B box. Vaginal orgasms please most men more because they derive their pleasure from vaginal penetration but 50-75 percent of women cannot acheive orgasm from vaginal penetration alone.
Feminists have NOT taught that NO women can acheive vaginal orgasm, but we have illuminated the fact NOT all women can and there is nothing wrong with clitorial orgasms, vaginal orgasms, or what most women actually prefer, the combination orgasm.
And for you women who using your personal experience of a vaginal orgasm to deny the history of women who anatomically cannot acheive a vaginal orgasm being marginalized and oppressed, you seriously need to rethink your stance. We did infibulations in this country until the 70′s to “cure” frigidity but no one wants to talk about or hear about that.
And as for the article above, it simply reeks of sexual repression. It is not women’s anatomies that are at fault. There is nothing psychosexually wrong with sexual variation in the way women’s bodies are formed sexually. Men need to adapt their sexual styles to adapt to a variety of of anatomical differences in women. Not all women get off in the same way. We never have.
I like this. But questions do arise.
To begin: Why or how does the article tell women that there is a right or wrong way to achieve orgasm?
From my understanding it is simply saying that women who achieve “vaginal” orgasm, which i know to be one of many and is important to us males, since its where our dicks go, (altho ive known one women who had an oral orgasm… that one hurt) is:
“Further analysis revealed that the sum of stride length and vertebral rotation was greater for the vaginally orgasmic women.”
This is basically what the “sex” experts were able to notice, these come from a greater self confidence as other studies related to confidence have shown. IMHO, this article is simply acknowlodging that women of greater confidence, exhibited by their stride, have a greater tendancy toward orgasm.
hi all.
i just wanted to add my bit to help any women out there who just want to have an orgasm!
i never used to have orgasms and i also was bad at “holding on” when i needed to urinate.. so at home i would drink a few glasses of water and REALLY practice holding on and held and held till i basically… almost wet myself.. but didnt haha. anyway after doing this for a week i noticed that once i had learnt to hold on a few more minutes than normal -i started orgasming when i masturbated (via clitoral stimulation). wow. i could never do that before! it was as thought the very same muscles.. which i suppose are the KEGEL muscles .. needed to be exercised. i would like to note however that you really have to activate the deep deep internal kegels.. i found this very VERY hard to do at first.. but persisted and was definitely rewarded
Also i would like to add that i found it much much easier to orgasm when i relaxed my pelvis and legs and tried to just focus on the enjoyment and forget the task of orgasming…
hope this helps u girls out there! please give it a try
You tell them, girl!
