Stress, in many forms, does effect your sex life. It could be work related, medical related, and/or kids related, just to mention a few! Medication or some other form of stress release (such as exercise) can curtail your stress related issues.

Sometimes I'm so stressed that I get crabby when we have sex.

Absolutely. Although sex is supposed to relieve stress.. i just can't have sex if I am too overwhelmed....

It distracts my wife - me only very rarely. With a little tease, I can often get her back on track.

absolutely. Makes it way harder to get an erection and lowers my sex drive considerably.

It's hard to get into it when your mind is somewhere else.

I have little external stress, but I do have clinical depression and that is a huge internal stressor that effects my sex life. Unfortunately, it's been worse since I re-started my medication.

If i'm stressed, I either want sexual release or no sex at all. So i'd say it's a pretty important factor.

For me stress can make me totally horny, but it also can make my sex life non existent

It always has some kind of impact. What varies is whether stress is a positive or negative influence on my sex life.

It does...in that I have sex more often to release it! My partner and I have sex when we are stressed and it's a great way to make us both feel better. We need to get our rocks off and then go back to worrying about real things.
