A man has been plagued by headaches that are porn-induced and caused him to take painkillers at least 30 minutes prior to viewing X-rated movies. The man, unnamed and unmarried is a software professional who has complained of having severe and exploding type headaches that develop gradually and peak about 10 minutes after the start of a sexy scene.
Researchers from New Delhi, India stated that the man’s headaches were triggered by only porn and not masturbation or sex, and their cause was unclear. Researchers said 1% of the world’s population, predominately males, have headaches related to activity relating to sex. Even arousal could create changes in the tension of muscles, sensitivity in nerves and flow of blood to the brain triggering a sensation of pain, said researchers.
Similar to headaches induced by exercise, these headaches are only a nuisance and are easily relieved with anti-inflammatory medications that are non-steroidal. In some rare instances, the pain could be the sign of something serious such as an aneurysm or brain tumor. Researchers said that if someone experiences confusion or dizziness accompanied by the pain, then they should immediately see their professional medical provider.
The man who is experiencing the headaches is ready to end watching porn, but has been advised by doctors to take ibuprofen and acetaminophen about 30 minutes prior to watching the movies so he can receive a significant relief in pain. The doctors said that the man should not worry about the headaches causing any other health problems.
