Why does my hip ache when I...

Kind of an odd sexual question (nothing too dirty but since it's sex-related, mark this NSFW)...
For as long as I've been having orgasms (pretty much since I started self-experimenting in my youth), my orgasms are accompanied by a sharp pain in my right hip. I'm not complaining; it actually enhances the experience. But I've always wondered what causes it, and I've never heard of anyone else who has this happen.
Has anyone here ever heard of this? Can you help settle a lifetime of confusion?

Go to a good chiropractor and ask him or her to feel around for your psoas muscle, see if it's super-tense or something. Yoga/educated and careful stretching might also help.
IANADOC, and frankly know less than your average college student about anatomy.

Some women get a very slight pain when becoming sexually aroused due to constricting blood vessels - not sure if there's a male version of this. It always confused me and I wondered if I had some kind of masochistic tendency/sexual trauma, if unseriously.

Well, you're not the only one. No real resolution, unfortunately, but add this to the "I'm not alone?" page of the wiki.

I agree with the psoas muscle suggestion, but suggest that you see a kinesiologist about it rather than a chiropractor.
Because although you might luck out and get a chiropractor who knows kinesiology quite well (as some do), your chances of getting a practitioner who understands kinesiology are greatly improved by going to a kinesiologist in the first place.
