Headache after or*gasm: How it starts
s*xual headaches are just what they sound like—headaches triggered by s*xual release. This more than lackluster s*xual reaction affects a mere 1% of the entire population. While we tend to associate or*gasm with s*xual intimacy, s*xual headaches can also result from masturbation. There seems to be two stages or types of s*xual headaches:

During the s*xual variety, however, a mild, dull pounding will begin at the point of s*xual arousal and will continue to intensify as the pleasure or excitement increases. This brand of ache is sometimes referred to as “early coital cephalgia” and may have something to do with the contractions of the neck and head before or*gasm.
2. Severe, throbbing migraine. or*gasmic coital cephalgia is a severe headache after or*gasm, much like a migraine, that will send strong throbbing sensations through the head, neck, and behind the eyes. This pain is experienced directly before or after climaxing. Thanks for ruining my O, yo.
Duration of a headache after or*gasm
According to the Mayo Clinic, those who experience a headache after or*gasming may experience several more s*xual headaches within a six-month span of the initial headache. That being said, some lucky ducks will only experience that one s*xual headache and may never be bothered again.
Headaches associated with or*gasm may last anywhere from two minutes to days at a time. Now you have to ask yourself: is an or*gasm really worth days of head-throbbing pain? *We’re on the fence*
