I am wondering if I should worry about having a headache when I masturbate; I imagine it would be the same if I was having sex. This headache has lasted over a week and it has given me a complex about wanting to masturbate again. I don't know if I have done some damage with blood pressure in the brain or something... but this headache occured at the point of ejaculation. :confused: Any advice for me?

Masturbation Headache

First bit of advice: don't use that yellow type. It gives others a headache trying to read it.Secondly, see a doctor. A headache lasting a week has to have some other cause that an orgasm, no matter how great the orgasm was.

Good advice to go see a doctor - thanks. The head ache continues despite having had yet another night of 'restful' sleep. So something is wrong! (I did think the yellow type was going to be offensive. Sorry.)

A continual headache can be put down to a lot of things, from eye strain, a viral infection, high or low blood pressure etc etc, its definitly something that should be checked out........either that or it was SOME orgasm grin

I find masturbating with a headache very painful. The blood pumping makes the veins in my temple thump and it just hurts like hell. So form personal experience I suggest you don't do it.

First of all thank you for reading this stuff. This web-site is just the best!Tonight I went to the doctor who says straining and holding your breath at ejaculation can give SOME people this kind of headache. It is not usual. As I have no other affiliated symptom* I am advised to wait another week to see if it clears on its own and meantime take strong painkillers. A friend I spoke to said (sex headache /orgasm headache) something like this happened to her twice in ten years. It cleared after some weeks; the first medic she told didn't take her seriously (actually laughed! - it ain't funny) and she went and got a second opinion and support elsewhere.(*) If affiliated symptoms included tingling in the fingers, fuzzy sight, lethargy, an inability to be coherent (can they say: 'It is sunny outside.'), asymetric muscular contraction in face /limbs, an inability to smile!, COULD all be signs of a mini /stroke and urgent medical attention should be sought. This was worring me. Fortunately I am OK. Gentle vanilla sex I think for me when I feel 100%.

I'm not a doctor, but I would take seriously any headache that went on for over a week.

Thank you for your response.Just for information I did not have a headache before I climaxed /started masturbating.I agree with you it is not a good idea to have a headache and then go masturbate ... presumably or have sex! Is this why the headache excuse to refuse sex exists?! For a good reason.

I feel much better knowing that you got this checked out. Keep us posted on your progress.
