Answer:
by Annette Owens: ()
I am sorry that I was not able to answer this question any earlier. Do you still have the same pain with masturbation? Did you change your technique or did anything else change around the time the pain started? If so, I would advise you to try to stop masturbating for a week. If the pain continues, I would recommend that you see a physician who can examine you. Sincerely, Annette Owens, MD PhD Editors Note: It is also possible to get a headache from the vascular changes that accompany the sexual response cycle. Another possibility - are you holding your head/neck in a tense or unusual position while masturbating? This could possibly cause a tension headache. Sincerely, Patricia Fawver, Ph.D., editor
