Hey everyone I do not know what to do. My boyfriend and I have been dating like 3 years and we have been having sex a while now. But recently whenever we start a few times after he goes in and out he gets these headaches and if he continues they get worse. I can not figure out what to do to help him..and its gotta be the sex cause once we stop 2 minutes later he is fine. We are trying to fix these..so please tell me anything that you think may help.

Orpheus answered Monday September 4 2006, 12:31 pm: I've never heard of anything like this, but you may want to do some investigating and find out if any other activities give him similar headaches. For instance, see if any other activities that raise his heart rate or blood pressure give him headaches. It may also be a psychological problem. In any case, he should see a doctor if the problem persists. [ Orpheus's advice column | Ask Orpheus A Question ]
Melody answered Monday September 4 2006, 12:11 pm: I did some research and I discovered there are two kinds of sex headaches. The first and most common one being benign coital. These headaches usually occur during or after having sex and is relatively harmless. The second type is less common and can be fatal until proven otherwise. It's called the "new onset" severe headache. This is usually due to an acute brain hemorrhage or other serious condition. Fortunately for you, this is very uncommon and I doubt you need to worry about it.
I'm pretty sure your boyfriend's problem is a benign coital headache. These headaches can occur in men and women and are usually due to muscle contraction, and/or blood vessel dilation in the head and neck during sex. Although these headaches can be very painful and limit sexual enjoyment, they present no actual threat to one's health, so don't worry.
Benign coital headaches are said to be relatively easy to cure, but whereas you seem to be under the younger generation (teenagers) it could present a problem. Sometimes obstaning from sex for a few weeks is all that is needed to cure this type of headache. However if this doesn't work, your boyfriend may need to be prescribed a medicine from a doctor that's taken an hour or so before sex to cure these headaches. The good news is that benign coital headaches can be cured all on their own in time. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
