I wouldn’t say the OP is lying, some people are like that. I’ve no idea the cause but his GF isn’t the only woman that suffers from lack of ambulatory co-ordination afterwards. ---

A few weeks ago I was getting a pounding headache **immediately** after an orgasm. The first time I didn’t relate the orgasm to the headache. When it happened again and again, I knew that it was. I looked it up. This is it: [Sex headaches - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic](http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sex-headaches/basics/symptoms/con-20025355) It’s not pleasant, but I’m not about to give up sex or masturbating because of a bad headache. I don’t care how intense it is. I can take it, damn it! ---

I had that for a couple years in high school, then it went away for another handful of years, then it came back again…and now I’m in the off season for it. Honestly some of the worst headaches I’ve ever gotten, I don’t look forward to when they rear their ugly head again. ---

My husband can’t walk after an orgasm either. I didn’t think that it was anything special because almost all the guys I ever had sex with couldn’t either. What? Rolling over and falling asleep doesn’t count? ---

Mine were piercing headaches also. Strange ones, too. Sometimes just a few sharp pains and other times constant pounding for hours. I haven’t had one in about three weeks. Crossing my fingers that they stay away… ---

Anecdote in support of the OP: I can’t walk after orgasm no matter who I’m with; wifey, girlfriend _or_ mistress. Then again, I can’t walk _before_ or after, well anything. ☹ So I guess anecdote fail. ---

> [@scudsucker](#): > > In the country famous for love, this must happen frequently enough that there is a French phrase for it: [La petite mort](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_petite_mort) That doesn’t mean “can’t walk after orgasm”. It’s just the French slang term for orgasm. and always makes me think of this cover by Phil Foglio for _Xxxenophile_ #9 > **[The adventures of Le Petit Mort 9 (1994) - XXxenophile - LastDodo](https://www.lastdodo.com/en/items/1148117-the-adventures-of-le-petit-mort)** > > The adventures of Le Petit Mort 9 from 1994 buying, selling or collecting?

Some girls are really shaky after an orgasm though. Seen it many times. ---

Happened to me in the opposite direction-- one time after mutual masturbation in the shower, the orgasm my then-girlfriend gave me was so intense I had to get out of the shower and assume the recovery position on the floor for a couple minutes. ---

That would freak me out. I like giving my gf huge orgasms but she needs to be able to handle her shit. No passing out, no screaming like a banshee, no collapsing into a heap.
