Hey all.

Since I became sexually active I have occasionally engaged in intense tensing sessions when I feel like I couldn't 'get it out'. I'll tense my legs and pelvis muscles up really hard to force it. I've been doing this for a long time but recently I noticed that afterwards I'll get a bit of a headache. Nothing too painful (maybe a 4 at worst right now) but very annoying and somewhat worrying. I feel like all that pressure and exertion could pop an aneurysm in my brain or something. I had a normal CT scan 3 months ago, but that was 3 months ago. Is this a risky thing to do? Or am I just experiencing a normal coital headache?

I asked my doctor and he said it could be from the valsalva maneuver most people do when they are having sex/masturbating, but I don't really know if that makes sense.
