Sick right after sex

[loving--you.livejournal.com]

I sometimes get extremely sick to my stomach after sex. More so, after my boyfriend ejaculates in my vagina. (No condoms are used nor am I on birth control) After penetration it's painful to move because I feel like i'll puke my guts out if I do. (This doesn't happen every time but enough to raise questions)

I know he's not hitting my cervix with his penis. Nor does the actual sex get rough enough to cause "turmoil" with my tummy. It doesn't happen as often as sexual intercourse, but it has also happened when he fingers me (that's actually rougher than the sex.)

I always tell him his 'boys' are having a field day in there. It usually passes no later than 30 minutes after sex but what could be the cause of this? We're both STI-free and there have never been any known infections or anything of the sort. He isn't the first guy it's happened with either.

any ideas?

Hi there! Just a friendly neighbourhood reminder that we ask posters and commenters in VP to avoid using the word "clean" to mean STI-free. Would you mind editing your post so that it fits in with that guideline?

For more information on this policy, you can read our guidelines here (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=VaginaPagina_FAQ#Why_can.27t_I_use_the_term_.22clean.22_to_mean_.22STI-free.22.3F).

Thanks!

(I don't have anything really productive to contribute, except that I remember hearing from the most experienced girl in my friends group, back when I was about 12, that "you get a stomach ache after sex". It only recently came back to mind, out of nowhere, and I've been wondering where the hell she'd have gotten that notion. Thought maybe it was just some of the weird sexual misinformation that gets around in middle school. So um, reading this thread has been educational. That is all.)

I've always chalked it up to motion sickness (for real!) I am really sensitive and will get very sick in the car/boat/plane whatever, so I joke that's what it is, but half of the time I'm secretly serious.

Okay, this is just a total guess, but -- do you get cramps before or during your period? And does this after-sex sickness feel similar to that? I ask because cramps are caused when the uterus contracts so much that the oxygen flow to the tissue is temporarily shut down, causing the pain. Perhaps the uterine contractions that occur when you orgasm are so strong that they're actually painful?

That's just a total guess, like I said, I have no evidence to support it and it doesn't seem to account for why the presence of ejaculate should make a difference. But, just in case you think I'm on to something, I would suggest taking ibuprofen a little while before you have sex, since ibuprofen inhibits the production of the prostaglandins that cause menstrual cramps (and which may be at work here).

edited cos I really do know how to spell words, honest!

No, I wouldn't say it feels like cramps from my monthly. It's more like a horrible stomach bug. Since you say that about the uterus contracts, I wonder if maybe it's the intensity of the orgasm. I'll have to start paying attention to that.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I only have sex with women, and this happens to me sometimes too. I attributed it to all the moving around, which is kind of silly, but I couldn't come up with any other explanation for it!

I have gotten this before. I always figured that it was from all the changes your body makes while having sex, heavy breathing, blood pumping harder, lots of movement, all of that stuff.

i get like that if i have a full stomach, even if it's just water. could that be it?
