Seizures after Sex
Tue, 05/27/2008 - 16:27Topic: Men With Epilepsy
I've had seizures since I was 9 and am 36 now needless to say that means through out my entire sex life and 15 years of marriage. But, last night for the first time ever I had a partial complex seizure after sex with my wife and wondered if this had happened to anyone else and if a doctor had told them anything about it?

Me, Again. I should also point out that if I have an orgasm in the absence of actual intercourse, the orgasm ALWAYS turns into a seizure at the end...& I can totally lose consciousness.
So, it goes both ways for me. A seizure can cause orgasm, and an orgasm can cause seizures.
Lucky me. (?)

Hi, All! I wanted to give some input on how orgasm/seizures work in ME. Most of you are saying that orgasm can induce a seizure/s for you. My crazy brain works somewhat differently. I am a woman, and when I perform oral sex on my husband, and he pulls me deep, THAT triggers a minimal partial complex seizure...the mild convulsions of which CAUSE ME to orgasm! The convulsing part totally works for him (thankfully I don't clench my teeth!), and ALSO for ME. So, it's a win-win situation. ;-) He does have to watch me carefully, though, because on occassion the convulsions toward the end of orgasm (still having seizure, also, I believe) CAN get more severe, causing me to lose consciousness & have teeth issues. But that is rare for me. Since research shows that the seizures & orgasm are triggered in the same area of the brain, I would imagine either one can trigger the other. Possibly moreso in those of us who are naturally extreme in the sexual desire/libido realm. Dunno. Would love to see more scientific data on this. If any of you find any info on how to actually VOLUNTEER for the PET scan during orgasm studies, let me know. I'm IN!
