Greater Resting Heart Rate Variability is Associated with Orgasms Through Penile–Vaginal Intercourse, but Not with Orgasms from Other Sources

Abstract

Findings are discussed in the context of orgasms through PVI enhancing HRV, and greater parasympathetic tone favoring the capacity to engage in PVI, and in the case of women, to reach vaginal orgasm. The possibility of healthier people having greater resting HRV and more frequent orgasms through specifically PVI is also considered.
