Sex as stress relief

[CanuckKitty]

I've been browsing the forum for a while, and I realize it's mostly fun and (sexy) games around here. Are there any particular areas where people discuss more real life stuff? Or would anyone want to chat?

I'm feeling very isolated and I'm completely burnt out by life circumstances. Sandwich generation and parenting stuff. I also started hormone replacement therapy a few months ago which appears to have triggered my hibernating libido. I'm feeling a bit guilty about turning to sex for distraction and stress relief - not in and of itself, I think just how much it's been distracting me. I would love to hear from others in similar situations, men and ladies.

(I don't always respond to chat requests, but I'll make an effort if you want to have a real conversation. Especially for Canadian buddies. )

PS - call me Kitty

Right here. I don't have anyone to have sex with sadly, but I definitely engage in sexting and porn watching more when I'm stressed.

Do you have a partner, or do you engage in hook up sex?

I don't really feel guilty about the porn, but I do feel guilty about sexting (for various reasons), but at the same time I can't deny that it makes me feel good.

Just when I think I've stopped, I always end up relapsing.

I don't wanna get too detailed and personal in the forums, but if you want we can chat in private, because I'm in the same situation, minus the hormone therapy

Kitty, I am horny all the time. I also suffer from anxiety and depression from time to time. And stress is a part of many days. Yes, I use porn and masturbation as a way to deal with the stress. Taking a five minute or an hour long 'vacation' from stress by fantasizing about or watching some hot sex and giving myself an orgasm is a guilt-free way for me to deal with it all.

Of course, if you had a willing partner that solitary pleasure could be shared. I know if my wife came to me and said that she was feeling horny, I would be delighted (and surprised). I'd be happy to chat with you, Kitty.

I have always used sex as stress relief. Sometimes it provides relief for ten minutes, sometimes for hours. I guess it depends on how much stress I am undergoing.
Unfortunately, there have been times where sex (or lack of) has been a cause of stress.

I think it’s ok to use sex as a distraction. It’s fun, it has physical and mental health benefits.

If it’s not getting in the way of your life and critical activities it’s a nice and good distraction.

I have used it for stress relief usually solo, but sometimes also w my wife.

Kitty, first of all, apologies about Trump from Buffalo: No one here would rather have him as a relative/friend/Uber driver versus a random resident of Southern Ontario.

Second, sex is, I think, supposed to be the best stress reliever, versus transcendental meditation, alcohol or political activism. Evolution kinda demands that, and as a sometime beneficiary of sexual satisfaction, U agree.

We ALL need an escape. An escape that is inexpensive, physically harmless (easy for a man to say, but we're finally at a point where it can be 95% true for women and girls too) and so incredibly effective (YMMV) is, if you're religiously minded (I am), God's gift to humanity. Enjoy. PLEASE.

I absolutely use sex (mostly masturbation) as stress relief. It's so easy to be distracted from stressors by sexual interests, and so much more pleasurable. I don't think that it's terribly unhealthy, as long as it's not taken to an extreme. Between the escapism and the physical release and endorphins, I actually enjoy sex as stress relief

Lol.. not many political activists give off a "stress free" vibe.

Sex can be stress relief, but it also seems to be a side effect of looking physically sexy and long work outs.

 

[secretSanna]

Well I'd love to be relieved stress on

What's holding you back? How would you relieve it?

I get horny when stressed. I need the connection and the physical release, yet I am usually very gentle and attentive when seeking sex as stress relief.

Between just being of the general age range when HRT tends to come into the picture, then the HRT too, it’s something those of us in the vicinity of someone undergoing HRT love.

Regarding the sexual urges, it’s definitely nothing to feel guilty for. (I understand the rest of it sucks).
But the urges are something some lucky person should be thanking their lucky stars for instead! (I had a person who would summon me once in a while when the hormones hit. Some of the most memorable moments of my life!)
