i have a similiar problem: but this just started happening to me. im 34 and my relationship has been on and off with the same person for about 4yrs. but i have to admit i have a wondering eye for the ladies and men so i havent been the faithful one. so just recently when i was with my other partner is when i noticed the nausea and vomiting after i came. i 1st i thought it was b/c i was with sum1 else but i slept with this person several times before and it never happened before. then i thought maybe its because i hadnt eaten.
May 27, 2011 - 12:35pmthen when my bf and i finally got back together and we had sex. i had n orgasm and got nauseated afterwards to where i throw up again. i thought maybe it was because we was going thru sumthing.
so recently we (bf) had sex again and it happened again to where i had to stop everytime i came so i wouldnt barf and i am a multi cummer so this is becoming annoying.
medically i havent had any surgeries and i have the IUD.
i also suffer from GERD and gastroparesis even tho im not diabetic
i have high blood pressure because of my stomach so could this have anything to do wit it?
i ask that just to ask but i dont think it does i have been suffering with the disorders for about 2 years now and this nausea after my orgasms and his just started abut a month ago

also i wanna add that when i have sex with others i use condoms and have been tested for STDs and HIV the fact that i am very sexually free i keep up on my checkups yearly and STD and HIV checks every 6 mos
May 27, 2011 - 12:39pmThis happens to me sometimes. If I have a great big orgasm (or if it's been a while) I feel a little nauseated afterwards. It only lasts a minute or so and I always assumed it's simply because of the vascularity of that area. All the blood rushes down there and the change in pressure causes minor nausea. Is there something more to be worried about?
November 5, 2009 - 11:27amThis has happend to me the past 4 times I've had sex and it's usually after a orgasm so I don't know if I need to be concerned or I might be pregnant?
June 11, 2012 - 6:10pmIt sounds like the reaction is only when seminal fluid is released inside your vagina.That suggests an allergic type reaction to the proteins in the seminal fluid.
Pertinent questions are: Do you have this reaction if you have intercourse but a condom is used ? Do you experience orgasm with sexual intercourse ? Do you experience orgasm through other types of sexual stimulation and, if so, does the nausea reaction occur ? Have you noticed if the reaction occurs at any particular time of your menstrual cycle?
The main complaint I have heard related to orgasm has been pelvic pain following an orgasm. That can vary with the menstrual cycle and can be due to spasm of the muscles of the uterus.
If the nausea is more generalized i.e occurs with intercourse whether or not the partner has an orgasm, then I would advise a pelvic examination as an ovarian cyst or endometriosis could be triggering the nausea.

September 15, 2009 - 8:19amThank you Dr. Sarrel for answering my question. Now let me answer some of yours:
Do you have this reaction if you have intercourse but a condom is used ?
-I don't know but per my discussion with Michelle, I am going to see if there is the same reaction.
Do you experience orgasm with sexual intercourse ?
-No, I never have unfortunately.
Do you experience orgasm through other types of sexual stimulation and, if so, does the nausea reaction occur ?
-Yes I have and it has never happened in those instances.
Have you noticed if the reaction occurs at any particular time of your menstrual cycle?
-I no longer have a menstrual cycle as I had a partial hysterectomy in 2007. I don't remember any specific episodes of nausea prior to that surgery.
I've also never experienced any pain after sexual intercourse either.
Thank you again and hopefully my answers will help.
September 15, 2009 - 3:54pmHi there! Thank you so much for answering all of my questions and being so open with your information. I'm so glad that everything is great and healthy in your relationships, past and present. While I'm still waiting eagerly to see what our expert has to say about this, I'm going to guess that this might be a physical issue. Of course I'm not a physician but I did some research online on this topic and believe it or not website after website pops up with this same question, or something very similar. So it seems that you are not alone. I have one more question for you--do you mind my asking your age? Actually two questions--about how many years has this been going on? I'm wondering if this is a hormonal issue for you. One site I visited suggested that the woman was becoming nauseous after sex because her hormone levels were going up and they will making her feel ill. In other words it might not be your partner's orgasm that is making you nauseous later but rather your own body producing hormones and so it could be more of a coincidental thing. It might be a good idea to get in and get your hormone levels checked out. Also, since you mention unprotected sex, I'm wondering what would happen if your partner wore a condom--if that would still cause the nausea. Maybe you could experiment with that and see what happens. If you still felt queasy then you'd know it wasn't the sperm that was the issue. Thank you again for your follow up post and we'll stay in touch and figure out what's up with this. Big hugs, Michelle
September 14, 2009 - 9:23pmHi Michelle. Thank you for looking up some information. I am 38; turning 39 next month. This has been happening I'd say for the past four years maybe. I did have a partial hysterectomy in 2007, but it was happening prior to that. This site is great and I will talk to my partner about the condom because I'd love to get to the bottom of this!! Thank you again! :0)
September 15, 2009 - 7:29amHello CCM1970! Welcome to EmpowHer! I am so glad you have visited the website and posted your question here. This is a very interesting question and I'm very glad that Rosa has forwarded it to one of our experts. I did want to ask you a few questions too that might help shed some light on the situation and maybe give you some insight--if you don't mind my asking, how long has this been going on? Do you feel nauseous after your partner orgasms every time or just once in awhile? I don't mean to pry, but is it possible that you are feeling less than positive about your relationship? Or if things are going well in this relationship, did you possibly have a previous sexual relationship that was harmful or abusive in some way? I don't mean to get extremely personal with you and I don't want to upset you in any way; I'm just trying to think of some reasons why this might be the case for you and any additional information will help our expert answer your question, as well as any other readers who want to weigh in. I am sorry that you are experiencing this and we are going to do everything we can to get you some more information. Please post again when you can to let us know how you are doing. Best in health, MIchelle
September 13, 2009 - 9:16pmHi Michelle. I am not offended in any way. I am wondering if there is something wrong with me actually and need all the help I can get!!
I love the relationship I'm in and the sex is great ... up until that part. Unfortunately, this isn't the first relationship it's happened in. I have had two serious boyfriends in my life and can count on one hand the number of men I've been with. I've only had unprotected sex with those two and it happened each time. Nothing before but enjoyment.
It lasts about 5 minutes and it just feels like a wave of nausea. Starts out weak and builds up to about a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst.
Is it physical or mental???
