WWW.PRIDE.COMWhat the heck is a 'coregasm'? Sex experts explain how to experience this steamy solo activityLooking for another reason to get out of bed and schlep to the gym? How about a surprise orgasm? No, we're not talking about a locker room hook-up, but a spontaneous orgasm that happens literally during your workout. Maybe you already know what we're talking about because youve been hitting your ab workout hard only to start feeling a strangely familiar tingling down you know where. Or maybe you've seen people online chatting about this phenomenon. What were referring to is the coregasm. To learn more about what it is, what causes them, and how to make them happen, PRIDE spoke with sex experts Bel Di Lorenzo, entrepreneur, womens sexual health advocate, and the author of the bestselling book The Gohddess Method; Dr. Sue Milstein, sex educator with a PhD in human sexuality education, Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES), and a Certified Sexologist; and Sofie Roos, licensed sexologist and relationship therapist and author at Passionerad, to get their insights and what we learned was, ahem, very stimulating and educational.What is a coregasm, and what causes one?So what exactly is a coregasm? Well, as it sounds, it starts with your core muscles, i.e., the muscles in your abdomen, back, and pelvis, and it occurs while exercising.But how does that work? Its usually triggered by intense engagement of the lower abs and pelvic floor. Its caused by a combination of sustained muscular tension, increased blood flow to the pelvic region, and stimulation of the nerves that connect the core and pelvic muscles to the brains arousal centers, Di Lorenzo tells PRIDE. When breath, effort, and pressure align, it can create enough internal stimulation to lead to orgasm, without direct genital contact.This often happens in combination with relatively heavy exercising that increases the blood flow to the vagina, something that increases sensitivity, Roos adds to PRIDE.Who can have a coregasm?Roos mentions that the vagina becomes more sensitive during core exercise, but this experience is not limited to women and people with vulvas, however. Both people with penises and vaginas can experience coregasm, even though they are most common in people with vaginas, he explains. Di Lorenzo concurs, adding that it tends to happen more commonly for women and people with vulvas. This is likely due to the structure of the pelvic floor and how closely its tied to arousal and orgasmic response. However, she concedes it's not that simple. People who have a strong mind-body connection and good muscle awareness in their core and pelvis are often more likely to access them, she explains. While coregasms happen randomly for some, others can get them on purpose by learning how to activate the right muscles, encourages Roos. However, not everyone can achieve them theres many people trying all their lives without succeeding, while others get coregasms without barely trying, so your genetics plays a huge role.Are coregasms common?While the experts agree that coregasms are real, how commonly they happen is still very much up for debate. According to Di Lorenzo, they are not as rare as many may assume. Theyre definitely underreported, she says. Some research suggests that up to 10 to 15% of women have experienced orgasm or orgasm-like sensations during exercise. In my experience, once someone begins training pelvic floor coordination with intention, coregasms can become more frequent and easier to identify.Roos cites a slightly lower number, based on research published in the National Library of Medicine in 2021, which says as many as 9% of all respondents had experienced an orgasm while exercising. Dr. Milstein says its hard to know for sure because the data is soft. Its important to keep in mind that we have to rely on self-reported data to know how often this happens. If someone had one and had no idea what it was, they may not report having had one, she explains. With all that being said, some studies estimate that 1 in 10 women have had a coregasm, and 1 in 13 men have had one.What exercises and techniques can you do to achieve one?If you're curious about experiencing one, some techniques can help make the magic happen. The key, says Di Lorenzo, is sustained engagement of the lower abdominals and pelvic floor, especially when paired with breathwork.So what specific exercises should you try? All exercises that activate the core and pelvic floor muscles give the best chances, says Roos. Such as squats, deadlifts, or hip thrusts. You can also try hanging leg raises, exercises with a weighted ball such as a teaser where you sit on your butt and lift the ball with your feet up to your hands, lean back with straight arms, and then give back the balls to the feet, or the plank. She adds that weight training, whether it's with weights or your own body weight, is essential. But say youre already doing all of this and have yet to experience a coregasm, Di Lorenzo suggests some more specific forms of trunk exercises paired with breathwork. Long contractions: It involves lifting the pelvic floor up (as if you were trying to hold pee). Hold the pull at the top for as long as you can. It's crucial that you never hold your breath as you hold the contraction; simply breathe in and out gently through your nose.Expelling: Conscious release of the pelvic floor to build pressure and create a push/pull dynamic. The best way to think about it is as if you had been holding on to your pee for a long time and you finally are able to find a toilet and release it.When these exercises are combined with deep breathing, muscle control, and mental focus, they can build enough tension and internal pressure to trigger orgasm, she says. For some, practicing these movements while aroused or during certain phases of the cycle can make a coregasm more likely.Do they feel different from other kinds of orgasms?Not all orgasms are created equal. For instance, clitorial and vaginal orgasms often feel much different and they differ from prostate orgasms. So, where does a coregasm land on this spectrum of sensation? Dr. Milstein explains that, for women [and people with vulvas] it can be similar to a vaginal orgasm, but not quite the same. Some women whove had one say theyre a bit less intense than a vaginal orgasm, she describes. For men, it may feel like a prostate orgasm.Its important to keep in mind that coregasms arent linked to sexual thoughts, so the overall feeling may be different from an orgasm from sex because our mind is in a different place, she adds. This is all the more reason to know what to expect so that you can identify what is happening should you have one. Instead of a sharp or surface-level climax, coregasms often feel like a warm, spreading wave that begins in the lower abdomen or pelvis and radiates outward, says Di Lorenzo. They can be shorter or more subtle than clitoral orgasms, but still deeply pleasurable and satisfying, especially for those who are attuned to their internal sensations.The sensations may spread down through your legs, adds Roos. The fact that they are more unusual often leads to the coregasm feeling more exciting, which also adds pleasure, she says. As always, when it comes to sex, its highly individual, so some people will find it very similar to a regular climax, while others find it a whole different thing!The only way to know for sure is to give it a try, so it sounds like the perfect excuse to re-up that gym membership!Experts cited: Bel Di Lorenzo, entrepreneur, womens sexual health advocate, and the author of the bestselling book, The Gohddess Method.Dr. Sue Milstein, sex educator with a PhD in human sexuality education, Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES), and a Certified Sexologist.

WWW.PRIDE.COMTrailblazing lesbian-centric event The Dinah is coming to an end after 34 yearsAfter more than three decades of creating an inclusive space for queer women with pool parties and LGBTQ+ music, The Dinah is coming to an end.LGBTQ+ trailblazer Mariah Hanson has announced that this years Dinah Shore Weekend will be its last, bringing to a close sapphic cultural touchstone that has had a huge impact on the community.After 34 unforgettable years, Im stepping away from producing this world-famous celebration of queer joy, freedom, and connection, Hanson said. Its been the honor of a lifetime to help create space where our community could be bold, wild, and unapologetically ourselves.Hanson hopes that her trailblazing event serves as an inspiration to younger generations, and she is currently seeking a partner who can continue the legacy of The Dinah. Ive often been asked when I would pass the torch. I never had a specific answer only that Id know when the moment felt right, she said. And now, the time is right. Its time for a new generation to bring their vision, energy, and heart to this legacy and take it even further. Thats my deepest hope.The Dinah will take its final bow this September at the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs where The L Word stars Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey will be returning a fitting end, considering the iconic lesbian show catapulted The Dinah into the cultural consciousness to sign copies of their new book So Gay for You and make a special appearance at the Saturday night party.This final Dinah is my personal love letter to the community a celebration that reflects the boldness, beauty, and heart that have always defined who we are, Hanson shared. More than anything, I hope the legacy I leave is one of joy, connection, and possibility a foundation for the next generation to build something even greater.Not only is Hanson known for producing epic pool parties and creating a safe space for queer women to live out loud and proud, but she also has a long-running history of booking talented musicians before their big break, often predicting their meteoric rise. Stars like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Lizzo, Bebe Rexha, and Doechi have all performed at The Dinah.From the outside, The Dinah may look like one five-day-long party and it is but its also so much more than that. The Dinah was started in 1991, when it was still dangerous to come out of the closet, years before marriage equality, and in the middle of the AIDS Crisis. It didnt just provide a launch pad for LGBTQ+ musicians, but a sanctuary for lesbians and queer women.Much like other exclusively womens events, The Dinah has undergone an evolution and had to engage in internal discussions about making the event more gender diverse. In the end, Hanson proved once again that The Dinah is a subversive event that challenges societal norms while embracing inclusivity when she and her team welcomed the trans and nonbinary community with open arms. We are collectively stronger than any assailant of our rights. When you see all those women, nonbinary and trans folks and their friends come together to celebrate life in Dinah fashion, you are filled with a level of inspiration and acceptance that carries you through the weekend with a sense of liberation and community, Hanson wrote in a personal essay for Out Magazine on the 30th anniversary of The Dinah.What started as a one-night-only party back in the early 90s has ballooned in the decades since into a yearly celebration of queerness that will be sadly missed.This last edition isnt just an eventits the culmination of 34 spectacular years of joy, liberation, visibility, and love. Whether youre returning to relive the magic or experiencing it for the first time, this is your moment to be part of herstory, Hanson said. Come raise a glass, dance under the sun, and help write this last, extraordinary chapter with mea tribute to a journey that changed lives, built community and sparked decades of culture-shifting moments, bold firsts, and unforgettable memories. While I may be taking my final bow, the legacy weve built together will live on in every life its touched.0 Comments 0 Shares 43 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.PRIDE.COMRene Rapp comes out in defense of scissoring: 'Yes, [it's] real!'Rene Rapp is weighing in on a lesbian debate that has raged on for years is scissoring real?The "Pretty Girls" singer recently chatted with Anania Williams for a @gaydar.show segment on TikTok, answering important questions like "What gay celebrity would Regina George date today?" and "How are femme and masc lesbians thirst traps different?"At one point, Williams asked Rapp which of her tattoos is the gayest. The answer was, of course, the ink she got on her arm of two scissors intertwined. And that led to a follow-up question about whether or not scissoring is real something Rapp apparently has very strong feelings about."Yes, scissoring is real!" she declared. "And I debate this every day of my life."@gaydar.showHappy pride month u guys r getting fed watch to the end to find out who made Rene gay feat. @rene host:@ created by:@Mutuals & @Amelia shot by:@Samira M. questions & booking by:@Brooke Finegold edited by:@Andrew Bourne #ReneRapp #lgbt#beyonce #comedy #sapphic #lesbian #gaydarshow#nyc #mutualsmediaWhatever conversations the Mean Girls star gets herself into that lead to perpetual debates about scissoring sound kind of fantastic, if a little exhausting. Shouldnt we have put the scissoring debate to bed by now?? Still, it certainly comes as no surprise that the woman who brought giant scissors to adorn the stage during her Coachella performance is on the right side of history here.Rapp standing up for scissoring truthers was certainly a highlight of her interview, but she dropped quite a few other amusing tidbits throughout the two and a half minutes from talking about Beyoncs ass with her mom to admitting its "so common" when asked how many closeted celebrities she knows."But I want the NBA boys to be gay," she added.0 Comments 0 Shares 45 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.PRIDE.COMMARINA spills on her new album, upcoming tour, & why gays are more evolved than straight peopleWho do the gays love? MARINA!Pride Month is officially here and the LGBTQ+ community is coming together at a very crucial time to advocate for equality and celebrate queerness in a very visible way.The WorldPride Music Festival in Washington, D.C. is bringing the biggest names in music together for a once-in-a-lifetime experience that queer people will remember for the rest of their lives.MARINA is one of the entertainers slated to perform at the festival and the timing couldn't be better as her upbeat new record PRINCESS OF POWER drops the day she performs, Friday, June 6.Ahead of her monumental performance, MARINA spoke with PRIDE about her exciting new album, why she believes gay people are more evolved than straight people, and what fans can expect at her upcoming tour later this year. Read below! See on Instagram PRIDE: Congratulations on your new album, PRINCESS OF POWER! This is your sixth record, and your LGBTQ+ fans everywhere are so excited. How are you feeling in this moment?MARINA: This moment in time... I feel remarkably calm! This is such a genuinely fun album for me. I want people to feel positive while listening to it. I think we need some light, joy, and celebration, and I know the gays are literally the best at continuing the party. Even when things are miserable, the gays are always partying! I always aim to empower people and give them strength, and my fanbase has done exactly the same for me. I wouldn't change anything about my fanbase.How would you say this album stands out compared to your previous records?This album is pretty varied. It still has those quite emotive tracks. Everybody knows I'm sad! There's still bangers, but the lyrics are tragic. That's just what I was needing in my life. I had some health issues that I hadn't been able to figure out for seven years. Once I started to recover from that, I wanted to change my life. I listened to a lot of 2000s Kylie, ABBA, Madonna, and a lot of '70s artists, actually. I had to write music at the energy I wanted to be in. That's how it started, and it exploded into this concept record. My intention was to always make music that had a bright energy.The visuals from this album are so stunning, and some of your fans have even said that this era is taking them back to Electra Heart a bit. Would you say there are some similarities between the two records?It could be the wig in "CUNTISSIMO!" It's also a really big pop record, but I don't know if it's that similar to Electra Heart. Electra Heart was about love being a threat and being very close-hearted to protect myself. This album is the complete reverse. It's about choosing to be open-hearted. It's actually really hard to be open-hearted in a world where it feels like you might get hurt. It's been very difficult, but it's been very positive. Love is the strongest and most powerful thing about me. It's not the vulnerable thing anymore. This album is going to hopefully enrich their lives in some way. See on Instagram Not only is it amazing that PRINCESS OF POWER is coming out during Pride Month, but you're also going to be hitting the stage at the WorldPride Music Festival the day that it drops. You're really saying 'gay rights!'It literally is for the gays! It was perfect timing. I didn't have to think about it! This community has been such a big part of my fanbase for so long. I'm so pro human rights, and we're living in a time where that feels threatened. The fact that this is taking place blocks from the White House is super powerful. We're going to look good, and I'm going to play seven or eight songs and maybe two new ones as well.Following WorldPride, you'll also be performing at a slew of other big festivals over the summer. How excited are you to be hitting the road this year?I'm ready! I haven't done U.S. festivals for a minute, and I'm doing some incredible ones. It's just going to prep me for my headline tour, which hasn't been posted yet, but will be soon! It's important for a record to live in the live arena. That's why I do this!The LGBTQ+ community has really supported you since the beginning. What message would you love to send to your passionate gay fanbase?You're all here for a reason... to teach humanity. Gay people are evolved in ways that straight people aren't. Your souls chose this path for whatever reason because you're strong people. I'm continually inspired by this community.You've been there for us in so many ways. I think many people had their gay awakenings watching your "How to Be a Heartbreaker" music video!Oh my God! That's too funny. I honestly didn't know that!

WWW.PROPUBLICA.ORGTrump Wants to Cut Tribal College Funding by Nearly 90%, Putting Them at Risk of Closingby Matt Krupnick for ProPublica ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to receive our biggest stories as soon as theyre published. The Trump administration has proposed cutting funding for tribal colleges and universities by nearly 90%, a move that would likely shut down most or all of the institutions created to serve students disadvantaged by the nations historic mistreatment of Indigenous communities.The proposal is included in the budget request from the Department of the Interior to Congress, which was released publicly on Monday. The document mentions only the two federally controlled tribal colleges Haskell Indian Nations University and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute but notes the request for postsecondary programs will drop from more than $182 million this year to just over $22 million for 2026.If Congress supports the administrations proposal, it would devastate the nations 37 tribal colleges and universities, said Ahniwake Rose, president and CEO of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, which represents the colleges in Washington, D.C.The numbers that are being proposed would close the tribal colleges, Rose told ProPublica. They would not be able to sustain.ProPublica found last year that Congress was underfunding tribal colleges by a quarter-billion dollars per year. The Bureau of Indian Education, tasked with requesting funding for the institutions, had never asked lawmakers to fully fund the institutions at the levels called for in the law, ProPublica found.But rather than remedy the problem, the Trump administrations budget would devastate the colleges, tribal education leaders said. The Bureau of Indian Education, which administers federal funding for tribal colleges, and the Department of the Interior, the bureaus parent agency, declined to answer questions.Rose said she and other college leaders had not been warned of the proposed cuts nor consulted during the budgeting process. Federal officials had not reached out to the colleges by the end of the day Monday.The proposal comes as the Trump administration has outlined a host of funding cuts related to the federal governments trust and treaty obligations to tribes. The Coalition for Tribal Sovereignty said last month that the administrations proposed discretionary spending for the benefit of Native Americans would fall to its lowest point in more than 15 years, which it viewed as an effort to permanently impact trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations.Congress passed legislation in 1978 committing to fund the tribal college system and promising inflation-adjusted appropriations based on the number of students enrolled in federally recognized tribes. But those appropriations have consistently lagged far behind inflation. The colleges have managed, despite the meager funds, to preserve Indigenous languages, conduct high-level research and train local residents in nursing, meat processing and other professions and trades. But with virtually no money available for infrastructure or construction, the schools have been forced to navigate broken water pipes, sewage leaks, crumbling roofs and other problems that have compounded the financial shortcomings.Tribal college leaders said they were stunned by the proposed cuts to their already insufficient funding and had more questions than answers. Im shivering in my boots, said Manoj Patil, president of Little Priest Tribal College in Nebraska. This would basically be a knife in the chest. Its a dagger, and I dont know how we can survive these types of cuts.Congress will have the final say on the budget, noted Rep. Teresa Leger Fernndez, the ranking Democrat on the House Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs, whose New Mexico district includes three tribal colleges. Tribal colleges are lifelines in Indian Country, Leger Fernndez said in a statement. They provide higher education rooted in language, culture and community. These cuts would rob Native students of opportunity and violate our trust responsibilities. Other members of the House and Senate Indian Affairs committees did not immediately respond to questions from ProPublica. The White House also did not respond to a request for more information.Mondays budget release was the latest in a string of bad financial news for tribal colleges since President Donald Trump began his second term. The administration suspended Department of Agriculture grants that funded scholarships and research, and tribal college presidents spent the past week trying to fend off deep cuts to the Pell Grant program for low-income students. The vast majority of tribal college students rely on Pell funding to attend school.Tribal colleges contend their funding is protected by treaties and the federal trust responsibility, a legal obligation requiring the United States to protect Indigenous education, resources, rights and assets. And they note that the institutions are economic engines in some of North Americas poorest areas, providing jobs, training and social services in often remote locations.It doesnt make sense for them to (approve the cuts) when theyre relying on us to train the workforce, said Dawn Frank, president of Oglala Lakota College in South Dakota. Were really relying on our senators and representatives to live up to their treaty and trust obligation.But others noted they have spent years meeting with federal representatives to emphasize the importance of tribal colleges to their communities and have been disappointed by the chronic underfunding.It is a bit disheartening to feel like our voice is not being heard, said Chris Caldwell, president of College of Menominee Nation in Wisconsin. They dont hear our message.0 Comments 0 Shares 73 Views 0 Reviews
