I sometimes find with shadows and low intensity CHs that an orgasm helps; reminding me that my body is capable of not just pain.
New research shows that orgasm shuts down a part of the brain behind the left eye, as well (where i get mine). Who knows if its related...
But if it's associated generally as a trigger, i wonder if I should abstain.

No, you shouldn't abstain unless you are one of the very rare ones that this might be a trigger.
You're correct in that it's much more likely to abort (especially shadows) than trigger.
For the most part, headaches triggered by orgasms are a specific type of headache, not related to clusters.
Benign Coital Headache or Coital Cephalgia or Exertion Headaches are more closely related to migraines and people that get this type of exertion headache, especially, should be tested with MRIs and MRAs to rule out any underlying medical condition.
If running up a hill in the summer or weightlifting triggers a cluster for you, it's possible intercourse may also, but again, its more commonly related to headaches other than clusters.
Carry on my wayward son!!!
