Question : I had a really bad headache today and the circumstances around it are a bit embarrassing. I was in the shower and masturbating and about the time I thought I was going to climax, a terrible pain hit the back of my head, behind my ears. Is this anything to ask my doctor about ? Needless to say, I've never done this specific activity before, and at my age, do not even masturbate that often.
