One woman got what might be considered the best and worst oral sex of her life.

The unnamed 44-year-old passed out mid-oral sex after her orgasm caused a small stroke. She was unconscious for two to three minutes.

Her lover rushed her to the hospital where she had since regained consciousness and said she had a headache, which she scored as a 6 out of 10 on the pain scale.

Doctors led by Yunus Gokdogan at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital wrote in a BMJ case report: “On closer history taking, the patient reported nearing orgasm while receiving oral sex from her partner before losing consciousness.

“Her partner estimated she was unconscious for two to three minutes, with no convulsive activity reported. She had otherwise been well preceding the event.”

Given the woman’s symptoms — including the headache — Gokdogan’s team sent her for a CT scan.

It revealed a “trace of acute subarachnoid blood” — a type of stroke that causes bleeding in the space around the brain.

The patient’s bleed was caused by a small aneurysm, a bulge on a blood vessel like a balloon or bubble that bursts.

Gokdogan’s team warned that rigorous activity — including passionate romps — can cause aneurysms to burst.

They wrote: “Known risk factors for rupture include activities that involve sudden increases in blood pressure and sexual activity is well described as a precipitant.

“During sexual activity, blood pressure as well as heart rate, is very labile, with particular rises during orgasm.”

Yikes.
