I was wondering either if im holding my breath and not noticing (i havent noticed anything like that yet) or if i was straining to hard on erection, or during sex itself.
Any advice??

A year ago I changed to a new weightlifting regimen that called for me to lower the weights _very slowly_, and I got a blinding headache after the first set I went really heavy on. I thought that I was having a stroke or something, but the guys at the gym told me that I wasn't breathing enough during my new, longer reps (I did tend to hold my breath) and this and the strain were causing the blood vessels around the outside of my skull to swell, causing the headaches. I started breathing more during the reps, and things returned to normal quickly.
Try consciously trying to breathe more during both acts. But if that doesn't clear things up, see a doc.
