A doctor once told me that recieving oral sex helps with cluster headaches because the release of endorphins during orgasm helps to relieve the pain. Similar to a runners high. Unfortunatly my partner hates the taste.
Personally sex is the last thing on my mind during a cluster attack. But I have recieved oral sex during a cluster and it did help to take away some of the pain. But I really did not enjoy it very much, and us guys never refuse oral sex.
If you are lucky enough to have a partner that does not mind trying then it does not seem it could hurt. And if your partner does not mind the taste and will give you oral sex that is better since as a guy you don't have to do much but the release will make you feel a little better.
good luck and pain free days to all
