Just recently (in the past week) I had
masturbated, half way through I started to
get this massive headache, I tried to
ignore it....But it just grew when it got
to the stage that I could no longer
continue masturbating - I had to lie down
(i was originally on a chair), but that
did nothing, I tried breathing harder -
nothing, I tried drinking water - headache
is still there. The headache pulses
throughout the back of my head and my
neck, it gets worse as I get closer to
orgasm. But the headache doesnt go after
orgasm....It stays for hours at end, its
not as bad the headache, but its still
there at the back of my head and my neck.
When it happened the first time after
masturbation...I was like "what - thats
the worst headache pain I have ever
experienced", I then masturbated again
about 1 day later (i think....If not more)
and the exact same thing happened to
me....Same headache - and it lasted pretty
much for the rest of the day.
After this happened I decided to do some
research on it....Cause I was getting
worried....And it seems that my symptons
are called "orgasm headaches" (there is
also some technical word for it). I just
wanted to know whether these headaches
will go sometime soon? Or how to
elininate them? I am only 17 years
old....My sex drive isnt that high (when
compared to some of my friends). Im still
a virgin....Never been with a girl - I
just want to know whats happening.
Any support would be greatly appreciated.
If u need more info...Just ask.
Thanks

Yes, i've had the exact same thing happen
to me. It's like a building pressure in
the back of your head and neck, correct?
This happened to me a couple of times a
couple of years ago when I was either 15
or 16, I can't exactly remember when. The
pressured feeling forced me to stop
masturbating because it felt like
something was going to pop if I didn't
stop. I don't know the cause or
concequences of this, but there isn't
anything wrong with me now because of it.
It went away after a few days and I was
able to do it without any pain afterwards.

Yes, pressure in the neck usually; but not
always. It often goes away, but some
people do have the problem indefinitely on
and off....

"for some people, sexual activity can
cause headaches and migraine attacks
called coital cephalgia (headache),
exertional headache, or effort migraine.
Such headaches may be benign exertional
headaches that can also be brought on by
other strenuous activities. They may
also be directly linked to orgasm or
sexual excitement.
Coital headaches may have a duration of up
to 24 hours, and are more common among men
than women at a ratio of 4:1. Although
such episodes are usually benign, it is
important that they be correctly diagnosed
to rule out organic causes. Tests used
to confirm the diagnosis include ct scan,
mri, and mra.
Headaches or migraine attacks induced by
sexual activity may strike prior to, at
the time of, or following orgasm.
Such attacks have also been documented
after masturbation. There are three
patterns of occurrence for coital
headache:1
* sudden onset: this pattern applies
in 70% of coital headaches, and begins
just before, during, or immediately after
orgasm. The headache is severe,
usually throbbing, and may build over
minutes or be explosive. Average
duration is several hours.
* subacute, crescendo headache: this
pattern applies in approximately 25% of
cases. The onset is much earlier than
orgasm, with intensity increasing until
the time of orgasm. Frequently in the
back of the head, the pain is dull and
aching. Rarely, nausea and vomiting
may occur.
* postdural headache: this is the
least common of coital headaches. The
pain occurs in the lower back of the head
and is greatly increased then the patient
stands. This form is more likely to be
accompanied by nausea and vomiting. "

Ow thanks for that information on
it...Really cleared things up for me.
Yeah I have noticed that sometimes I do
get the headaches and sometimes I dont. I
feel like I am going to...I stop - simple
as that - because I know i'll regret
having that pain in my head for hours at
end after it.
