Unusual. Sex causes headaches!


This is a really strange article that purports that SEX CAUSES HEADACHES. Go and have a read.



Sex headache

If you experience a severe headache during intercourse, know that it usually isn't serious. One type of sex-related headache brings a dull ache in your head and neck that builds up during intercourse. These headaches are caused when you tighten muscles in your neck and head during sex. A second type appears as a severe, explosive pain during orgasm, which may be due to increased blood pressure in the head caused by expanding blood vessels. The pain may last anywhere from a minute to a few hours. Sometimes taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) before sexual activity can prevent the headache.

On occasion, a headache that occurs at orgasm can be a sign of something more serious, like a hemorrhage or stroke. If you experience this type of headache, particularly the first time, contact your doctor to rule out these other possible problems.
