I’ve had the headache before too, and apparently it is a common side effect of attempting the practices; but like the blue balls feeling in the dick, is no longer a risk once successfully completing the CCO.

Regarding the real consequences of practicing this without knowing the full method, in both sexual energy build up as well as other associated problems like some general irritability that goes along intentionally blue balling ourselves - over the years I’ve adopted the strategy of gently pressing up against my limits. In the beginning I tried the “break on through” method more often. And I admit I still try it every once in a while. But most of the time I release the seed when I run into these negative consequences. So I may retain my seed through one or two sexual sessions, then notice the build up of bad energy, and release it on my second or third session respectively. And many times I release it during the first or second session if I can tell there will be a bad energy accumulation coming afterward.
In other words, I rarely fight it anymore, I just let it go if I know the energy is building up with nowhere to go. My advice is to try xeno’s advice in the above linked post. And if that doesn’t work, simply let the “bad” seed go by masturbating to a normal orgasm. I believe Chia says somewhere in the book not to sweat it too much if you “spill the seed” during practices. It’s the practicing that matters over the long term.
When I do choose, on rare occasion, to try the “break on through” method, I notice that the blue ball feeling or any headache tends to go away after 4-12 hours, or at the most, overnight. Doing this has some profound effects on the baseline energy levels of the body. For example if I retain for a week, doing SKF practices throughout that week (and getting heavily blue balled by the end of it) and then the second week I cease all SKF practices, then the energy seems to diffuse through the body. I have the energy levels of a man 10 years younger than myself, and I feel strange chi flow sensations all throughout my body during the day.
The combination of the two approaches is what seems to have led to an increased capacity for retaining the seed over the years. I used to get blue balls, or less often the headaches, after only one session of SKF practice. Now it is very rarely on the first practice, and almost always on the second or third practice. That may seem like “so what?” but I can tell you it is pretty awesome to be able to go at it as long as you want for one whole night and have no blue balls from it. After retaining the seed for the first session, it seems easier to retain on subsequent sessions, that is less of the “need to ejaculate” feelings, but also with more of a tendency for the blue ball feelings. So there is a trade-off between the two.
