Grape - While there have been deaths during sex and probably at orgasm, I think that most would be due to a heart attack, or perhaps even a stroke (a certain pope comes to mind, but perhaps that was divine intervention - I'd tend to blame cream sauces, though). I am sure even more people have been taken to hospital in less than flattering circumstances (sometimes panic attacks can mimic a heart attack).
I have also heard of people (both male and female) having very severe headaches at the point of orgasm, but I doubt that most of these are deadly, just very uncomfortable.
As for your facial tic, it may be a sign of totally letting yourself go. It is probably just an involuntary spasm at a time when your body is totally lacking voluntary control. While it is not really a laughing matter, I once heard a comedian say the way to tell if a porn star is faking it or not is if she is still beautiful during orgasm, she is faking it. Orgasm, in both men and women, turns people ugly, but only if well done. I think that this is just fully succumbing to yourself and letting yourself go entirely, which is healthy. It is your body saying, "This is me, hope you still like me."
I would not worry about the tic, unless it is painful, and even then it may just be like the headache. If you are really worried, do tell your doc. Trust me, they have heard worse things.
Hope this is of some help. - Cam
