TikTok users attempt to 'coregasm' but is this satisfying workout actually possible?

Nothing gets by TikTok users. The latest viral obsession? Coregasms—the possibility of experiencing sexual bliss while exercising your abs. Although the notion is making the rounds on feeds, is it truly one of the best workout trends of 2021 or just a hoax?

TikTok user Annie Knight (@annieknight38) discussed the mind-boggling concept in a video on September 17. She claimed that two of her friends have experienced the sensation, and as a result, planks and leg downs are a no-go when they're working out at the gym. 

"This is all news to me, I did not know this until I saw a TikTok," Knight confessed. 

Her clip has earned 1.5 million views, and she herself has been "doing ab workouts ever since" this discovery. But should you hit the gym full force to activate your pleasure points, or are you wasting your time?

Are 'coregasms' real?
