Anyone ever had a "vagal" reaction during anal sex?

Contributor: Bignuf Bignuf
We do anal play all the time, but I never had this happen before, till last night.

We got home late after our usual Friday night dinner with friends, but we were both "wired" from chocolate dessert and coffee (which was probably not the Decaf that we ordered).

Anyway, our bedroom TV is mounted high on the wall, so you can watch comfortably while laying pretty flat. Hubby was watching TV and I was laying with my head in his lap, and my feet towards the pillow, next to him, gently sucking on my favorite "pacifier" (him), and kind of watching TV as well.

He had his right index finger in my tush and his middle fingers below in my pussy. Again, this was all gentle in and out motion.

After a while, he reached over to the nightstand with his other hand to get more lube and when I noticed he had grabbed a cherry flavored lube, I got "motivated" and asked if he wanted some "candy to suck on himself" (ie. ME).

I shifted up and over, so now my girlie parts were in his face and in this "69" position he could suck and lick me all he wanted. After about ten minutes of his tongue probing my pussy and tush, I decided I wanted him in me.

Although I usually don't do "on top" (I am one of those ladies who just does not enjoy being on top much), I felt like it then, so without him moving, I sat up, and moved forward, thus putting him in my pussy, with my back to him (reverse cowgirl)..and rode him like that for a few minutes. Then I moved forward a bit more and in one smooth, fluid movement, slowly slid my tush down on his very rigid cock. At that point I stood very still for a minute or two, totally anally impaled on his wonderful, warm cock.

When I was ready to "ride" some more, I pushed up with my knees, and that is when I KNOW what happened. I had that "vagal" relex.

I could feel my heart rate drop, my vision brown out and got ultra light headed. I almost fainted right there, on top of him, with his cock in my tush!!! He immediately realized what was going on too, and kind of helped me lay on my side till my heart rate and blood pressure returned. I was fine after that.

A vagal reflex happens when your "carotid bodies" in your neck get squeezed or when your eyeballs are torqued or pressed and can also result from torsion on the intestines. It happens during bowel or colo-rectal surgery. The solution is to stop the offending nerve stimulation and to bring the BP up with fluid, if needed. In any case, I am sure that since we didn't use real anal lube (just that thin, cherry lube) and since I took him so smoothly going in (his saliva and that lube seemed fine), but as I rose up off his cock, it must have created enough suction or friction with my intestinal wall to create that vagal reflex.

Has anyone else ever had that happen during anal sex????

(by the way, I am in great physical shape, and I assure you, my cardiac status is good. Very well followed, so no medical concerns needed).

Captivating topic discussions on Anal Sex:

Anal lubes
Does one need a special type of lube for anal sex?
Are there any really great ones on the market right now?
Please let me know Thanks in advance.

Do lesbians have anal sex?
i am a lesbian..new to this.

Does anyone use this for anal sex?
I would think inserted normally, this would be great to use for anal sex to give clitoral and G spot vibes while doing anal. I don't think I've heard

So I know nothing about anal sex...
What all can you do? I know there are plugs and more thrusting-like things, but that's about it. Anyone wanna fill in the blanks?

Do you like your partner to squeeze your penis during anal sex?
I was playing around with my new dildo last night, The Original by Doc Johnson, and I was alternating between thrusting it while completely relaxed,..

It used to happen during pap smears, full penetration and some bowel movements. Now it only happens if I walk up a mountain too fast and put pressure on certain lower back areas.

I have a loop of carotid artery that is wrapped oddly in my neck that causes me to experience the symptoms of vasovagal syncope if I stretch my arms over my head while looking up. If I am especially tense I can get the same reaction by standing up too fast after an intense session on the computer.

I've never had it happen during sex though...that would be terrifying even though rationally I know there is nothing deadly about the occurrence.

Sounds like your blood pressure may run low normally. Have you had it checked on a regular basis for a while? (You can even check it at home or in a drug store where they have the little blood checker kiosk's). Worth mentioning to your doctor, for sure.

The neurocardiogenic part sounds like would indicate that for some reason cardiac ectopy or alteration of blood flow, and thus pressure, results in a sudden drop in blood pressure the brain. Although the brain has certain protective mechanisms in place, any sudden systemic pressure drop...be if from standing up too fast, or the heart not pumping right for a few beats, can cause "brown out" or even, more seriously, "black out". Some people get a bit dizzy, and others, like you, "faint" completely.
Bottom line, please make sure to stay in touch with your doctors, even now, as an adult, and even if it does not happen anymore. Make sure you have your regular check-ups and get an ECG (EKG) if there is ever any question about your hearts health. Obviously too, you want to do all those "right things" for heart health...eat well, avoid smoking, keep cholesterol in check..etc.

Glad you didn't fall out of that tree and do more serious damage..or worse. BE WELL!!!!

I answered for my wife who said it feels different when we're having anal sex - excited but not like a stimulation directly, more indirectly.

It caught me by surprise and I have done anal a lot, without problem. Who knows, I might have been a bit more dehydrated then usual, or any number of factors could have caused my blood pressure or heart rate to deviate from the norm. Even blood sugar levels can have an effect. Knowing what it was, and more critically, having it pass quickly, made it far less scary.

It's happened to me before, both during anal and during vaginal involving simultaneous (consensual) choking. It's scary, alright. But usually for me it happens right after an orgasm. Maybe the physical exertion from the orgasm triggers it? But I usually can't walk after.
