Hi,
No doctor will talk directly about sex but...
what also can trigger a seizure is HIPERVENTILATION- which means fast (or very fast) respiration- like when we run, exercise or... have sex.
Happy me I never seize because of sex :)
Good luck,
Ola

KNOW WELL WHAT YOU MEAN !!
I'd be dishonest if I didn't say that after having lived with epilepsy in a multitude of forms for over 35 years that orgasm (either after sex or masturbation) can bring on a seizure. There's nothing I know that can be counted on more to do this than sex. Yet when I've mentioned this to neurologists, they are all to quick to reply, "No way!". Face it, orgasm involves a multitude of parts of the human body, including our blood vessels and all of the nerves in our precious brain. And I do know that the brain has much to do with our whole need for sex, what we actually do when performing it, and how we come out of it. I've asked many men who have epilepsy if this is true with them, and most all have answered "Definitely."
