With the help of leading experts, including Heather Jeffcoat, DPT, Popsugar investigates those pesky post-masturbation cramps. From faulty sex toys to more serious underlying issues, Heather provides invaluable insight into why your solo sessions may be causing you pain:
“People can experience pain or cramping after solo sex for a range of reasons, including endometriosis, hypertonic pelvic floor, and underlying infection” says Heather Jeffcoat, doctor of physical therapy and author of “Sex Without Pain: A Self-Treatment Guide to the Sex Life You Deserve,” who specializes in sexual dysfunction and incontinence.
