OK.
Some times when I orgasm I get the most horrible cramps in the tops of my legs. the only way to discribe the place is in the front where my legs join my body (lol, very technical I know)
I've noticed it a bit when I've masterbated, but never thought much of it, but just lately the bigger the orgasm or more intense the moment becomes the worse the cramps become and I've even had to tell my SO to stop 2 times because of them.
Any ideas?

well I spoke to the nurse while I was in at the clinic getting a new script for the pill... and she laughed
She said she didnt know what to say and that it sounded like I just had really intense orgasms. Not useful info, but yeah, thats what I was told.

Another "home remedy" for cramps is quinine. The most readily available source is tonic water... probably wouldn't hurt to mix it with gin or vodka.
Seriously, I've known people who insisted that a regular diet of tonic water added a lot... and it's not something that would be dangerous, risky, or expensive to try.
Yeh,
Sometimes its so intense that I have to get him to stop ... Its a killer, and the thing is (I'm not sure if i said this or not) they are all over my legs these days, they arent localised, sometimes I get them in my feet, others in my hips, other times all up my legs.
owie owie owie
Believe me...I totally know what you feel. I like...get foot cramps (charley horses) in my feet (oooh...sonof a bitch it hurts!!!!!) or in my calf muscles.
I hate it...sometimes, i thin it's why i have trouble climaxing....i'm so weary of the charley horses....
Well, I thought that I'd give you all an update on the cramp thing considering someone posted something similar recently. I'm still getting them, how ever they have become a bit sporadic (sorry if thats the wrong spelling)
for example, I still get them when I'm going to orgasm ... But its usually when I'm being fingered / masterbating. The cramps are no where near as bad when I'm actually having sex. However, that doesnt mean that I dont get them while I'm having intercourse.
Then just to mix it all up a bit, I had a weekend (I had sex about 5) a few weeks ago where I didnt cramp once. All I can put this down to is the fact that I had exercised (and worked) a little more than usual that week and I usually spend my weekdays at a desk.
Just another side note, I passed on what you both said above to my guy, but it doesnt make him feel any better. So I have promised that I'll bring it up when I go to get my pill renewed in about a months time. I'll let you know what she says.

Thanks guys...
It is only sex related, but I will try the increasing potassium intake ...
I'll let you know if I still get them after trying a few different posistions.

Sexual arousal is really "myotonia" - a tensing of many muscles of the body. Orgasm is the release of this tension. Sometimes this is a gentle release and sometimes a real intense pulsing as the muscle relaxes. We women are fortunate because there is greater variation in our orgasms than men experience.
The extent of this myotonia can be the entire body - grimacing, toes curling, fists cleching. While it is centered in the lower abdomen, the tension commonly would involve the upper legs. If you commonly have cramps (no, not those) as a result of exercise, the dietary approach is a good idea. the sodium-potassium balance is important. If this is unique to sex, try putting your legs in a different position.
weird. hmm nothing pops into my head right away as a reason for this.
maybe treat it just like any athlete would.
try to eat bananas or other good sources or potassium to help keep cramps away. also, maybe stretch out a little beforehand..lol... yeah thats attractive i know, but maybe it would help.
good luck.
