Sex and Stress….

[glorfindale39]

What is the effect of stress on your sex life? Do you find you cave sex when you are stressed or can not get in the mood? Do you find that when under a lot of stress it effects the quality of your sex? (Quality being ability to climax, or endurance, or even performance) I’m curious because I find I have a higher sex drive when stressed, and that it actually can enhance my performance because I release all that stress in the act of lovemaking.

I have absolutely no sex drive when I'm stressed.

I have absolutely no sex drive when I'm stressed.

Ditto, cause all i can do is think about what is stressing me out. I cant relax until the problem is solved.

Not having sex creates a lot of stress.

well, it's kinda strange. Up to a certain amount of stress (say, only a week or so of stress), it makes my sex drive go into overdrive. But after that week or so, I begin to get worn down by the stress, and I get tired, and the sex drive disappears. Take the last few weeks for example. I spent two weeks at my bf's house preparing for, researching, and writing 3 papers. The first week, we fucked like bunnies. And when he wasn't there, I took study breaks to masturbate. I just couldn't get enough. The second week, I just fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, much to the poor man's chagrine. But he understands...

aaaaaarrrrggghhh, this is a HUGE issue for me and the Mr.

His job is very deadline-driven and as such he goes through periods where he is quite stressed. When this is the case (and sometimes it seems like it is ALWAYS the case, which I know is not entirely true but often it sure seems like it), he has absolutely not one iota of interest in sex.

Which causes me stress.

And when I am stressed, I crave the temporary escapism of sex, just to take my mind off whatever it is that's stressing me, for at least a little while.

So then he feels more stress that I want sex that he doesn't want because he's so stressed.

You see the problem?

A good orgasm from the right person can make the stress go away.

This is so true.

Even if it's yourself.

I haven't had that problem, but as miles put it lack of sex can be stressful.. Masturbation takes care of that little problem though. Lack of sleep or rest effects me more.

Stress is a vicous cycle for me. When I'm stressed, my sex drive kicks into 'overdrive' but I'm so bitchy when I'm stressed that no one is brave enough to come near me. I'm not kidding either. I preform everything so much better when my stress level is up. Sadly, I'm just no fun to be around when that happens. I think I'm my own worst enemy when this occurs.

i am a horny mans nightmare when i am stressed out. i have no sex drive whatsoever and only want to mayhaps cuddle. i remember when josh an di used to fuck like rabbits. we will again eventually, after the baby and some of hte stress wears off. but no sex stresses him out which stresses me out which makes us act differently and thankfully we're dealing with it well, but tis so very frustrating at times.

Sounds like hell when peoples stress and sex paterns don't match up, anybody have a partner that reacts the same way you do, either more or less sex?

I get extremely horny when I'm frustrated. If I was trying to piece together a desk, and I couldn't get the screws in, my clit would nearly throb with my frustration.

After sex I feel kinda high. But that's most of the time, not just after a tension relieving romp. :0)

My ex just wants to throw things when he's stressed. Although lack of sex will eventually frustrate him and turn him into a nervous wreck. This is very entertaining.
