Is accidental orgasm real? Here’s how it might happen, although you have to be careful what you wish for!
Accidental orgasm, you say? Most women can’t even have voluntary orgasms! But, we disagree. That joke had more weight before we knew what an orgasm really was and how awesome it really is.
It’s true, though. Women can have accidental orgasms, but that doesn’t mean that you’re supposed to anxiously wait for it to come at any moment *pun very much intended*.
Accidental orgasm occurs because a stroke of fate made it happen. They pop out of nowhere, but only a secondary stimulus can elicit it; meaning something you can’t control. If you intended to have it, it wouldn’t be accidental anymore, now would it? [Read: What an orgasm feels like: The best descriptions, myths & science behind it]
Is Accidental Orgasm a Real Thing?
You might be wondering, is an accidental orgasm actually a thing, or is it just a quirky myth? It’s a topic that piques curiosity and, believe it or not, accidental orgasm is a very real phenomenon. While they may seem surprising or even baffling, there’s some interesting science behind them.
An accidental orgasm, as the name suggests, is an orgasm that happens unexpectedly, outside the context of intentional sexual arousal or activity. This sets them apart from the typical sexual responses most are familiar with, where arousal and orgasm usually result from intentional sexual stimulation or activity.
Delving into the scientific research on accidental orgasm, we find a fascinating blend of neurology and physiology at play. Our bodies are wired with an intricate network of nerves, and the region involved in sexual arousal and response is particularly sensitive.

It means that stimulation, even when not sexually intended, can sometimes trigger a response from the nervous system leading to orgasm. For example, stimulation from certain physical activities or pressure in just the right spot can inadvertently activate these sensitive neural pathways.
Medical and sexual health experts point out that accidental orgasms aren’t just a physical response but also have a psychological component.
The human brain plays a crucial role in all types of orgasms, whether intentional or accidental. It processes various stimuli and can sometimes interpret or misinterpret these signals in a way that results in an orgasm.
Are All Women Capable of Getting Accidental Orgasms?
No, because every woman requires different types of stimulation – combining physical, mental and emotional stimulation – in order to achieve an orgasm.
The least that you could get out of stimulating female genitalia is an increased sensitivity to said body part, but without any assurances that you will get an orgasm. Some women can’t even have orgasms. We kid you not. It’s called anorgasmia and it’s connected to the physical and emotional state of a woman.
For those who can achieve orgasms, there are two categories with innumerable possibilities of execution. Those two are called “surface” and “deep” orgasms. [Read: Full body orgasm: The secrets to experience one & what it feels like]
Surface orgasms occur due to continuous stimulation of the genitals. Deep orgasms occur the same way as surface orgasms, but it also requires a deeper connection with their partner.
There is no way to determine what type of orgasm works for women because our orgasms are connected to our personalities and internal social mechanisms. What we think is deep may not be that special and what we think are just surface orgasms could be a sign of something more meaningful too.
But, accidental orgasms, well, they can’t be categorized as either of those. Although most of it could be surface orgasms, there is still a chance that it could be categorized as deep, especially with a significant other’s presence in your life.

When Do You Get Accidental Orgasms?
Now, if you’re wondering how this is even possible, it’s quite the intriguing aspect of our body’s sexual responsiveness. Accidental orgasms are a curious phenomenon and can happen in several unexpected situations
1. While Unconsciously Rubbing One Out
Examples are accidental orgasms that occur when you’re riding a badass motorcycle, or if you’re a badass equestrian who wore too-tight breeches during a course lap.
The vibration stimulates the clitoral area and can sometimes be enough to trigger an orgasm. The steady, rhythmic nature of these vibrations can mimic the kind of consistent stimulation typically associated with reaching climax.
2. During Brisk Walks and Runs
We’re not saying it happens all the time, but it is possible. The fact that your clit has made contact on something, regardless if it’s just tight clothing, means that an orgasm can happen. [Read: Clitoris stimulation: Secret touches to leave a girl squirming for more]
3. In Your Dreams
Women also get wet dreams. Although we experience it less frequently than men, it can still hit you out of nowhere. Don’t worry. We don’t usually have to change the sheets, when it happens. [Read: Tips for women who want mind blowing orgasms]
4. When You’re Really, Really Open
Sounds pretty vague, we know, but experts say that those who practice mindfulness and meditation are more likely to be aroused. This is even more likely when you practice tantric medication, which is focused on intensifying your sexual experience mentally. [Read: The step-by-step guide to your first tantric sexual experience]
5. Thinking Off
We have no idea who thought of that, but we’re pretty much into the idea *another pun, haha!*. Thinking off is when you are aroused by a mental picture or something you saw that makes you orgasm out of nowhere. It doesn’t happen to everyone, but a lot of women think they experienced it themselves.
6. When Your Brain Isn’t Working Right
As we’ve mentioned before, women who have neurological problems like bipolar disorder and hormonal disorders can experience frequent accidental orgasms. Some reports say that it becomes extremely problematic because it affects you physically and emotionally. It can also be an issue when going out in public.
8. Intense Core Workouts
It’s not uncommon for women to experience an accidental orgasm during intense core exercises, like abdominal workouts. This happens because certain exercises put pressure or cause stimulation in the pelvic area, which is loaded with nerve endings. As these nerves get stimulated, they can trigger an orgasmic response.
So, if you’re hitting those crunches or pilates moves and suddenly feel a rush of unexpected pleasure, you’re not alone. It’s all due to the way our muscles and nerves in the pelvic region are intertwined. [Read: Coregasm: The 4-step guide to workout orgasms and its benefits]
10. Certain Types of Yoga or Stretching
Some yoga poses or stretching exercises can also cause accidental orgasms. Poses that involve pelvic tilting, deep stretching, or leg lifts can unintentionally stimulate the pelvic area.
Since yoga also focuses on deep breathing and being in tune with your body, it can increase sensitivity and awareness, which might contribute to this phenomenon.
11. Medical Conditions
In some cases, accidental orgasms are linked to medical conditions. For example, certain neurological disorders or spinal cord injuries can alter the way the nervous system responds to stimulation.
These medical conditions can lower the threshold for orgasmic response, making it easier to experience accidental orgasms from non-sexual stimuli.
12. Massage and Physical Therapy
Sometimes, a deep tissue massage or physical therapy, especially if it involves the lower back or pelvic areas, can unexpectedly lead to an orgasm.
The pressure and manipulation of muscles and nerves in these areas can accidentally stimulate the parts of your body responsible for sexual arousal and response. It’s a rare occurrence, but it’s a reminder of how interconnected our body systems are. [Read: 67 sensual erotic massage techniques & tips to arouse and give an orgasm]
13. PGAD
Egad, what is this? Sorry, we couldn’t resist. Ignore the lightheartedness because I’m here to tell you that Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder is not a joke.
If you saw a news article about a woman having 100 orgasms a day, that is what happens to someone with PGAD. To give you a clearer picture of what happens when you have PGAD, here is a breakdown of what happens when you have it.
1. Your genitals feel like they’re swollen and ready for sex.
2. You can feel a constant throbbing between your legs, akin to the arousal stage during sex.
3. You want to have an orgasm constantly just to make those feelings go away.
4. You feel like you’re not in control of your body anymore.
5. You don’t feel the need to have sex because orgasms happen without it.
6. You may spend nights masturbating continuously just to elicit an orgasm, but the whole process of arousal repeats itself anyway. [Read: 37 health benefits of masturbation, bad side effects, & other must-knows]
7. You feel an urge to get any sort of release, but it never happens.
Having multiple orgasms all they may sound like a sweet deal, but the truth is that PGAD is not something that you should aspire to have. It is a serious problem that affects, not just your everyday life, but also your personal life as well.
When Should You Be Worried?
It’s cool to be clued in about your body, especially when it comes to something as intimate as accidental orgasms.
But sometimes, it’s important to know when to hit pause and consider seeking some professional advice. Here’s a list of scenarios when checking in with a healthcare provider might be a smart move.
1. Accompanied by Pain or Discomfort
If your accidental orgasms come with pain or discomfort, it’s important to get checked out. Painful orgasms can be a sign of various medical issues, like pelvic floor dysfunction or even certain neurological conditions. It’s essential to ensure that what you’re experiencing isn’t a symptom of a larger health issue.
2. Sudden Change in Frequency or Intensity
A sudden increase in the frequency or intensity of accidental orgasms, especially if it’s a new development, can be a red flag.
Bodies change, sure, but drastic changes like these warrant a professional opinion to rule out any underlying conditions or hormonal imbalances. [Read: Naughty ways to get over a sexual dry spell quickly!]

If you’re noticing other strange symptoms along with the accidental orgasms – like urinary incontinence, severe mood swings, or unexplained pelvic pain – it’s definitely time to see a doctor.
These symptoms, in combination with accidental orgasms, could indicate a variety of health concerns that need to be addressed.
4. Impacting Mental Health and Well-being
Lastly, if the experience of accidental orgasms is taking a toll on your mental health, seek help. This could be feeling anxious, stressed, or even depressed about these occurrences.
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, and a healthcare provider can help navigate both these aspects. [Read: How to reduce Stress: Fastest hacks to a calmer & happier life]
