Is Time in the Sack Hurting Your Back? – The Dangers of Sex and Lower Back Pain

She wasn't enjoying the sex, because her husband was suffering from lower back cramps right in the middle of intercourse. Learn why this is actually a common problem among men, and see what can be done about it.

Case #: 943

Concern：

My husband has cramps in his back during sex. What is the cause of this and how can he relieve the pain.

Discussion：

Forget about baseball. Sex is the real great American pastime, and it's definitely not the time to be cramping up. If your husband is throwing his back out right as the fire is being ignited, there may be one of three things going on: 1) You guys need to lay off the acrobatic Cirque du Soleil sex games. 2) You need to stop sleeping with 87-year-old men. 3) Your husband is getting off a lot more frequently than you are (if I had to guess, I would say that #3 is probably the winner here).

The Cause and Effect

Yes, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the prognosis is that your husband is cheating on you, and he's doing so with a lady named Handy. Handy has been seducing men for countless generations, because she's always available, and she knows exactly how to achieve the right rhythm every single time. And since Handy is attached to your husband's wrist, it won't do you much good to get a restraining order or move to a new city.

It's like this: Chronic masturbation leads to the depletion of three important neurotransmitters: dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine. As a result, your husband's body experiences a parasympathetic nerve reaction, whereby dopamine converts to norepinephrine-epinephrine at an accelerated rate and begins to burden the endocrine functions. As the body experiences elevated wear and tear, it compensates by releasing a hormone known as prostaglandin E-2, which—when overproduced—functions as an inflammatory hormone. In short, your husband can say goodbye to his orgasm and hello to throbbing back pain.

It Doesn't Have to Be This Way

Just to give you the benefit of the doubt, maybe the issue isn't masturbation. Maybe the two of you just have so much mind-blowing sex with such ceaseless regularity that his hormones and neurotransmitters can hardly keep up with the supply and demand (yeah, let's go with that).

Whatever the case, I would urge you to gift your husband with a botanical remedy containing herbs like Paeonia Suffruticosa, Maca, Milk Thistle and Schisandra. (SEE: Herbal Back Pain Relief) This will treat the inflammation, restore much-needed hormones and neurotransmitters, and reverse the effects of sexual exhaustion. After all, it's not just about him. It's about you! This is the 21st century, and sex shouldn't simply be a routine for the man's pleasure. So make sure that he takes care of his body and saves the action for when it really counts.
