When we're stressed out, we're just not ourselves. All that tension can really affect our moods and make us feel irritated, sad, and frustrated. It can also affect our bodies, making us tired, nauseous, or just plain lethargic. For some of you, sex may be the last thing on your mind, but studies show that sharing intimacy with another can actually be beneficial in dealing with stress. So what's your take on sex when you're stressed? Does it calm your nerves or make you more uneasy?

Sex is my greatest stress reliever! It relaxes me and lets me forget about what is stressing me out for a little while. I highly recommend it =)
1normally if i'm stressed about something other than my significant other (like work or school) i try to forget about those stressers when i see that person. my boyfriend now always makes me forget my worries and i just spend time with him happily by putting other things out of my mind. so in that case, getting intimate isn't hindered by the stress. in general, i think i'm okay with it! unless what i'm stressed about is fighting with him or something, then no!
2i second all of that skigurl
3It depends. Sometimes I'm just so stressed that it's impossible to get in the mood. But, sex is a great stress reliever, so I try and forget all my worries in the bedroom.
4I usually need to talk about what's stressing me before I can even get in the mood for sex. I don't mean have a conversation with the bf. I just like him to sit there and let me spew it all out. Then he can do what he does to make me feel all better.
5It stresses me out to NOT have sex! but it's also a mark of a good connection - so if things are going well and I feel like I can communicate my stresses to my partner, then sex is definitely going to happen.
6I could have just lost an arm and still want to have sex! seems like nothing can hinder my sex drive. Like princess_eab, I get stressed when I'm not getting any. My boyfriend lives 45 minutes away and usually we have to set aside certain days to hang out -- I look forward to them!!!!
7oh jeez sex can solve anything in my book haha. Definitely am all for stress sex!
8I can't usually get into the mood if somethings bothering me.
9I don't want to be touched when I'm stressed, and I know if I have sex when there's something important on my mind, I won't be able to enjoy myself.
10When I'm stressed, I really can't get in the mood.
11I tried to before, knowing it's a great stress reliever, but it usually ends badly.
When I am stressed, I am not focused on the other person, so I would rather do something else to de-stress....I try not to bring it into the bedroom.
12It depends on whats stressing me out. If I'm feeling upset because someone personally insulted or attacked me then it's the last thing I want. If I've just had a long hard shift at work then bring it!
13Course!
14Sure!!
15Definitely- sex is a great stress reliever. Esp if you can focus your energy on that person and making them happy.
16Completely with smiley. It's such a great reliever, and I get all pumped up from it. Which in a way helps me go exercise sometimes.
