      Some people suddenly experience cramps from their buttocks along the back of their thighs (the bladder meridian in Chinese medicine) and the inner side (the liver meridian and kidney meridian in Chinese medicine) in the middle of making love. They have to stand on tiptoes and thrust out their buttocks, as if they want to urinate but must resist the urge to pee.

If the cramps in the buttocks and legs are gone and the movements are normal when doing these movements, you can return to normal as long as you lie still for a while.
