A weird and wacky medical phenomenon recently occured when a man had to call his doctor because every time he had sex he would go temporarily blind. The man who has not been named would not lose his eyesight when undergoing any other physical activity and it was only when he exerted himself while having sex just after ejaculation that he would be unable to see.

The medical report which was published by the Dept of Ophthalmology at Glostrup Hospital at the University of Copenhagen is a fascinating case and it is thought to have occurred because of vasoconstriction which is when the muscle walls contract around the blood vessels thus restricting the blood flow. In this case the flow of blood was obviously partially restricted to the arteries which supply the eye which led to 'transient monocular visual loss'. The doctors who made the report said that the fact that the symptoms were transient in nature meant that an embolism was not the cause.
Arterial blood supply problems are also the cause of erectile dysfunction something which this man appears not to have. However you should be aware that there have been some very rare reports of temporary vision loss with men using the erectile dysfunction drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
This man seems to basically be unable to supply both his eyes and his erect penis with blood at the same time meaning that something has to shut down. In a sense the fact that he loses his eyesight temporarily while his penis is getting the blood is better than being able to see but not be able to get an erection?
Whatever the case this man should make an effort to improve his arterial health if he wants to be able to continue having sex because the eyesight loss is probably just a symptom of existing arterial problems.
