65 here and the last several years I have increasing problems with leg cramps as I reach orgasm. I am usually able to work through it but pay the price dearly for doing so. At first I thought it was simply a matter of conditioning and the increased excertion as the orgasm got closer was probably the culprit so I slowed down a bit it did seem to help but not solve the problem. Just as I get ready to blast off the very painful leg cramps will very often still kick in, it is bad enough I am starting to have a little fear of reaching that point.
Try taking potassium or eating some bananas. I get leg and foot cramps all the time, from wearing heels, I assume, and if I pop a coupla potassiums a week, I don’t get them.
Might also be a position thing, as blood flows to the sex parts. Maybe try switching things up a little, particularly trying things that keep the legs straight?
Definitely can. Happened to me all the time when I was pregnant, except it was foot cramps.
If I stand on the side of the bed I have no problem but she seems to always prefer missionary which is my least favorite but still good.
I doubt if it the orgasm at such, but orgasm does tend to make many muscles tense up suddenly, which is just the sort of thing to bring on a cramp if one is incipient.
It’s a magnesium/potassium problem, usually.
My boyfriend has this exact issue but as long as he makes sure to get good dietary sources of both, it does not occur.
He also get cramps at other, more opportune times, he’s just prone to them.
But not if you happen to be on medication for high blood pressure. Doesn’t go well.
Definitely up your potassium, sure can’t hurt unless you’ve got kidney issues. Are they calf cramps? I’m wondering if your flexed - standing - foot position is fine, but if you’re pointing your toes in missionary that can cause calf cramping. Try flexing your feet, or move down toward the end of the bed so your feet can hang off and not point.
Mostly calf, sometimes back of leg cramps. Not on any meds so maybe the potasium will help.
Blood donation or sexual assignation make sure you’re hydrated!
I had the same problem as the OP a couple of years back. Bananas helped, as did changing positions.
If any fruit was to help someone enjoy sex more, I’m glad to see it was a banana.
