Headache during or after sex scientifically explained

#science #headache #orgasm

Having sudden hardcore headaches during sex or during orgasm is something happening to a lot of people and we can all agree that this must be the most horrible and scary thing to happen to someone.

But heads up! they have been scientifically studies and they are most of the times benign headaches that mean nothing bad and you're gonna be okay.

Unfortunately there is not as much known about them as I would like but it's a start and if you can find more science about them then please let me know, I really would like to find out more! (this also applies for any other topic as well obviously, if you find or write any interesting papers send them to me via fb or insta or something!!)
