Not only can women have orgasms with or without sex – they can also experience them at the most obscure and inconvenient times, apparently.Some very honest ladies have come forward on Thought Catalog to share their most unexpected moments of ecstasy.From orgasms on the Tube, on a horse or even in the gym, these climaxes are definitely not confined to the bedroom.

For one woman however, horseback riding caused her to experience something a little different.
Mila, 24, said it happened at an equestrian event in high school – when her horse got spooked and sped up for a second.
‘Something in the rhythm change made me rub a certain way and suddenly I was hanging on for dear life as I had the weirdest orgasm ever,’ Mila confessed.
‘I couldn’t look that horse in the eye for a week after and I felt totally exposed by having that happen in front of my teammates.’

‘I tried to make it happen again for weeks,’ she said.
‘Years later, I masturbated for the first time and I was like “oh, that’s what that was!”‘
