Headaches?

[Ferrit]

No, no, no, this ISNT that standard headache question...

My problem is recently if im having a little fun on my own, just as im building up to orgasm, ill get an absolutely splitting headache.

I dont know whats causing it, when im with my better half, it doesnt happen- even if im doing most of the work and shes just helping out.

Im thinking either dehydration- its been warming up a lot here in canberra recently, and i dont think ive been keeping up with water consumption, or its something much more sinister- which hopefully a medical check in the next week or so will show up!


Any ideas?

It there a difference in positions? Could be low blood pressure.

[Ferrit]

yeah, usually when im on my own im sitting upright, when im with the better half im lying down.

only happened recently, wonder whats going on?

i do know that before orgasm, many membranes and tissues in the body swell, and not just the obvious places either; it could be something as simple as your sinuses.
then again, i'm no doctor and perhaps it is something as serious as a hemmorage.
get yourself a checkup, asap :)

Interesting what wyndhy mentions about membranes... I've noticed my sinuses tend to become less stuff.... but then again, I'm a bit odd.

Well, on the topic of sex and sinues, not many people know that there's erectile tissue in the nose. When aroused, some people will notice their noses get a bit blocked, but for others it's not so noticeable.

Inneresting fact for the day.

What part of your head is it that hurts?
That makes a big difference when trying to track down the causes of headaches. If the pain is located over a sinus cavity then it's very likely that it could just be increased sinus pressure.

This is an actual medical condition in some cases tho very rare. My hubby had the same problems. Its worth doing some more research on. I don't remember what they call it because he hasn't had it happen in a while but I looked it up. It generally happens in younger men and goes away within a couple of years on its own.

Its not inherantly dangerous but its worth asking a doctor about if it's persistant.

And, to add insult to injury (<---says this because today is National cliche' day)...

Do you have any dental problems that you may be putting off? As your pressure rises (during your masturbation time), not only do the sinuses clog, but a tooth/teeth that needs attention can feel that pressure and cause a headache. Might not be a tooth you can detect at any other time, or even hurt before or during masturbatory practices...but it's in the wings...waiting. Even if you don't find a difinitive answer if you see a medical doctor...and you don't really notice a dental problem, persay...it could be a prelude to a problem with a tooth!

Sound peculiar? Did with me too!

I'm feeling much better now!

Not sure if this relates, but a year or two ago, anytime I was doing the wife in the missionary postion, just as I came I would tense up all over & there would be a blinding headache at the base of my skull...it only happened a few times & eventually stopped happening, so I didn't worry about it too much, but it was a major buzzkill at the time, knowing I was gonna experience the heighth of pleasure AND pain at the same moment, at different ends of the body...

[Oldfart]

These are nor as rare as has been said here.

It is a stress thing with (usually) no medical ramifications, but a visit to the quack just in case is never a bad idea.

Yep, Blinding pain at the base of my skull, but its usually just as im approaching the point of no return, which can lead to it becoming the point of excruciating agony and no orgasm and very annoyed me! :hair:
