    I'm not sure if it's all in my head (unintentional pun) but whenever myself or the OH has a headache that panadol won't cure, sex seems to do it.. Anyone else find this is the case or are we just victims of the placebo? A damn fine placebo if it's the case mind you

    Not sure about a cure but I've often heard them mentioned in the same sentence.

    Endorphins is right! When you 'bust your nut' or when your other have reaches 'climax' the endorphins released can cause a relaxation of muscles and if you've a headace especially a tension headace this can 'cure' it...

    For most men, even thinking about sex gets rid of a headache. :D

    Unless you suffer from post orgasm headaches of course, those are supposed to be horrific.

    Ah now! So what you're saying is men shouldn't, em, work too hard lest they become the precursers of the father and mother of a headache.
    In pain management, there is a lot to be said for wham bam thank you ma'am :)

    Depends on the cause of the headache. If it's a stress related headache then yes. If it's a brain tumour then probably no.

    You don't mean exacerbates, do you? As well as breathing, choking can cause spelling and pronunciation problems. Just lighten your hold or desist completely :D

    I've always found it gets rid of stress or tension headaches a treat. Good for sinuses too. But trying to convince someone to have a go when you're all stuffed up is a bit of a battle.
