So exertion headaches! There's a new and fun thing. XD I already had a pretty good idea that me+exercise could only = badness but wow. I felt like my brain was going to explode. I kind of assumed that it was related to heat stroke or high pressure weather or something ridiculous like that, only it happened again.

And look. Look, okay. I already knew that I'm never going to get much in the way of sex with other people. I'm fat and weird looking and socially incompetent and I don't like it very much so I'm not going to pursue it. But not with myself, even? Seriously, nine hours of temple-throbbing pain from one lousy orgasm?

UGH.

My body and I are no longer speaking.

(This is another one of those things I should probably go to the doctor about, right?)

I have had this exact problem, you are not alone.
Solution for me was drinking more water. WATER, not soda or tea but sometimes juice is okay. And drinking water *beforehand*. Dehydration + (sometimes) sudden change in blood pressure = death by headachey. Also remembering to breathe deeply at point of orgasm. Because (Okay, TMI, but still) I tend to tense up all over and that includes diaphragm and not remembering to breathe properly. Head-explodey headache at other times does not necessarily need deep breathing, but sometimes it helps.

You probably should still go to the doctor, but I got a head CT scan for mine and nothing was found. "You're normal physically, drink water, reduce your stress." was the answer I got. Meh.

Good luck!
