Hi all, a few days ago the wife and I were 'fooling' around :grin2:, and the sex play was reaching it's climax but I then started to get this incredible headache that came from nowhere, and resulted in feeling like my head was about to explode.
It put a definite STOP to game in play, and TBH the headache lasted for 2 days before I felt OK again.
So today, and with the help of some porn I decided to give it a 'solo' tryout but again the headache started pounding.:surprise:
This issue has just started and god know how or why, but although it's a recognised problem there isn't really a reliable explanation to it's causes, It's a real concern for future sex, with or without the wife....
Thanx guy/girls.. It's definitely off to the docs tomorrow, I agree with the blood pressure thing, and I've also read up on the info from john117 which corresponds with other bits I've read.. which sounds like it's not too serious better be safe than sorry!
Thanx Calm Winds, I see throughout the internet that beta blockers seem to be the answer, How old was your husband when this sort of headache started? just out of curiosity..
Hi yes I made the doctors, but she seemed surprisingly unconcerned, My blood pressure is a little high and has put me on tablets.
But as I explained my headache never seems to be completely gone. My wife is somewhat frustrated lol.. she knows it's gives me a bursting headache. I've been referred to the headache clinic also. whatever that is, but it may be some time for the appointment to come through.
My next appointment is in a few weeks and I will reiterate the headaches and the problem with getting excited.. Hopefully she will take it more seriously.

Sexual activity can deplete the brain of all the chemistry needed for "feel good" reactions, and it can take days to reestablish the chemicals/hormones needed to put things back in balance. Meanwhile your ability to feel pain and/or headaches becomes heightened. Your body's ability to recover from this takes longer and longer the older you get. So if you have had a recent increase in sexual activity as you are getting older, this could explain things.
My advice would be to try and think of sexual arousal and refractory periods like sine waves on a graph. You want to try and keep things very gradual and relaxed:
Otherwise your body may be trying to recover from experiences that are bigger, better, faster, and highly erratic like the stock market having a crash:
Well folks, I thought I would update this topic regarding 'sexual headaches'. I went along for a CT scan and heard nothing for some weeks, I thought Nothing would be found and indeed the old brain matter shows no sign of problems.. But sadly they did actually find a Cystic Mass in my neck, This has come as a huge shock to both myself and my wife.
As some people have stated if you are suffering from any problems such as this then YOU MUST get it checked out..it may save your life. I am currently awaiting a biopsy and the results.

This exactly happened to me once before about a year ago. My doctor had a head MRI taken to rule out brain aneurysm, then she said that sex headaches can start to happen to some men. She said for some men it will persist and for others it is just a rare occurrence. I avoided ejaculation for 2 weeks and everything has been fine since (with respect to headaches anyway). My blood pressure was fine both then and now.
Yes it can happen but 'sometimes' there may be a reason behind it and I would urge anyone who suffers with blinding headaches, whatever the circumstances, to get checked out.
I posted a comment b4 relating to my findings but withdrew the comment as I was feeling down at the time, However it seems prudent to mention what has developed since my first post.
After my initial CT scan for any aneurysms it came back clear, however they did find a 'mass' in my neck.
This just may be something to do with the headaches..I just dont know at the moment, I am due a biopsy within the next 10 days and of course I'm hoping it's good news.
So as I've just said its best to be sure about these things and get yourself checked out.
