The Daily Beast coaxed a handful of women and yoga instructors to talk about their experiences; they report having intense orgasms during class and, for some, soon afterward. Experts believe it has to do with yoga’s focus on strengthening muscles in and around genitalia. And guess what? Yoga’s not only known for getting women hot and bothered—it can have a similar in-the-bedroom effect on men, too.
