Is Your Sex Headaches Chilling Your Love Life!!!

Although there's no data on how many people have headaches during, or as a result of, sexual activity, sexual headaches aren't usually related to a serious illness.

One reason there's no data is most likely the only one that knows about this is your partner. That's not something that's generally discussed outside of the bedroom. Women let their doctors know more often than men about their sexual headaches. Not many are going to work, and blur out that they had a headache during sex, right?

It's thought sexual headaches appear roughly (notice I said roughly) in about one percent of the population. Don't sound like many does it? Population in the US alone is over three hundred million, then you exclude those to old to cut the mustard, and you end up with quite a few thousand that at one time or other has sex headaches.

There are several types of headaches associated with sex, and it effects both men and women. The most common, and least frightening type is from the sexual excitement building up muscular tension around the neck, face, and jaw. To much of this can cause severe pain, or a dull sex headache. One could also think heart attack. The second type of sex headache is a sudden explosive headache occurring at orgasm.

Sexual headaches in men are found more so than sex headaches in women. To give some figures on this, roughly for every hundred women to suffer with sexual headaches, there are three hundred men that suffer from sexual headaches.

The ties between sex and headaches are complex. Here's why!!!

Some people avoid sex because of headaches, others have sex to relieve headaches, while still others develop headaches following orgasm. Complex isn't it?

While for many that say, not tonight, I have a headache dear, stress or anxiety may be the cause.

And others may say, not tonight dear, I may get a headache, this may be caused by exertion, and sudden expansion of blood vessels, and after awhile one gets gun shy.

The second one should be checked out by a doctor for their safe keeping, just to rule out a potential brain aneurysm, or tumors. More serious symptoms that include a stiff neck, confusion, and dizziness would suggest a doctors visit immediately. If someone has been bothered with this for awhile, and their doctor can't find anything wrong with them, the good news is, in about half of sexual headaches, they will run their course in six months.

It's also been found that up to ten percent of men that consume medicine for erectile dysfunction may have these headaches.

How to stop sex headaches could be as simple as abstaining from sexual activities and masturbation for a short period of time, ranging from a few days to a few weeks. This may cure your sexual headaches. Also, for some headache sufferers, rapid deep breathing can give sexual headache relief in a couple of minutes.

Although we added this to our next page on orgasm headaches we'll give it here to in case you don't read it.

The international Headache Society classified two headaches associated with sexual activity that are called the preorgasmic headaches and orgasmic headaches.

The criteria for these two types of sex headaches can be found on our next page.

All the best, be good
