this has been a newer development in the past six months. when i (24nb/afab) have intense sex, i will 9 times out of 10 have a very intense tic episode/attack that lasts five or ten minutes. it generally involves a strong repetitious head twitch, and if i try to suppress that it can turn to full body shakes/spasms. it feels like when one muscle is getting twitchy, but over my entire body and very tense.
i dont have any diagnosed neurological disorders, i am autistic and get overstimulated easily which does set off my tics too, though not in an intense episode like what ive described.
i know the easy answer is “just don’t have intense sex” which duh, but its not intense in a kinky way generally, more just in comfort and experience with my partner. i can’t really turn down the intensity with that.
im more looking if anyone else has shared this kind of experience, how did you help mitigate or calm the tics? at the moment i just have to try to distract, have my partner attempt to soothe, and generally just wait for them to pass.

If it is a newer development, I would definitely see a doctor.
