Question
I've got a problem and I'm a bit frightened by it. Whenever I masturbate I get these "sex headaches." I've read a bit about them online and that seems to be the case.
Only problem is that I'm only fourteen and these "sex headaches" are supposed to happen in a person's 20s or 30s. I read on and it said that these headaches can lead to strokes or brain bleeding. I don't know what to do.
Any advice??
Answer
I read some of the information on the web about sex headaches and think you should see a doctor to make sure nothing is going on with your health that is "triggered" by the masturbation. DO not be embarrassed - just talk about it. Good luck!
