Does stress have a big impact on YOUR sex life?

Contributor: Princess-Kayla ♥ Princess-Kayla ♥
I'm just curious. I know it did mine for a little bit. So do you have sex trouble when you have stress? Or do you just not care and continue with normal sex patterns?

There is a big drop when I am stressed, but I do try to work through it. Sometimes the sex really helps get my mind off the stress.

We do it to blow off stress, we do it to prevent stress, when we do it we create stress for our bodies..

Yes I am stressed out 90% of the time. And as of recently my sex drive has decreased significantly. It really sucks

That's how my husband was. We were really stressed about money, and he had almost no sex drive. We've been doing a lot better since I also got a job though, and I've noticed we've started having sex more than once a week. Before it just seemed like we did it just because it had been too long. Now we do it like every other day.

I really hope everything gets better for you, and your stress decreases.

Yes. We are both college students, and sex is significantly better and more frequent when we're on break.

Stress affects my sex life - but it isn't my stress. When my wife gets stressed it reduces her sex drive/energy - so through her it affects me.

Depends on the type of stress, when my husband gets stressed about work, he likes alot of sex, gets his mind off things, when we get stressed about issues in the home, the sex goes down.

If I am super stressed out it takes a little bit more to get me in the mood

Not if I don't let it. Of course there are days --ahem, yesterday!-- when the stress is so much that the last thing you can think about it sex. However, I do whatever I have to to reduce it when my stress gets dangerously high. I learned ways to reduce stress because my stomach problems would get significantly worse with stress so I HAD to find a way. It's taught me how to push through a lot as well as what to do when I'm on the verge of becoming hysterical!

If either one of us are stressed we just don't have sex so I'd say it definitely affects our sex life.

OH yeah! Stress is the main reason why we are lucky to have sex once a week lol. Things are just way too stressful and crazy around here for me to even be thinking about sex, let alone do it.

It sure does. Luckily my partner and I don't get to be together too often, and that in itself becomes a stress relief.
