Yes, for some people sexual activity - specifically orgasm - can cause a headache. There is actually a name for it: coital cephalgia or coital headache. You should consult a doctor. If this is indeed the case for you, using some type of pain reliever in advance may be suggested to you to help to reduce symptoms. Best wishes.
