This satisfying bedroom trick could make you go blind

Okay, let’s have some honest discussion here: when you have a great orgasm, your whole body responds to it. But the effects aren’t always satisfying. 

One 29-year-old in the UK actually went blind from climaxing too powerfully, according to The Sun. He visited a hospital “after noticing part of his vision was impaired in his left eye”.

During his examination, the man told doctors he’d had “vigorous sexual intercourse” the night before but hadn’t noticed anything strange afterwards.

“During orgasm the valsalva manoeuvre [holding your breath to prevent an orgasm] can produce a sudden increase in retinal venous pressure resulted in vessel rupture and haemorrhagic retinopathy,” The Sun reports the BMJ as saying.

So, as embarrassing as it might be to come clean with your doctor, it’s best to be upfront about your sexual history with your doctor, especially if any injuries have been sustained immediately following intercourse.
