Stress

[11Karen11]

how do you find that stress and being overworked/ overwhelmed affects your sex life? I'm talking being really busy, working constantly (and possibly being in school too all week).

When you're really tired and have a lot on your mind all day, can it really affect your sexuality and how often you want to have sex?

definately

No doubt about it, libido and stress are very closely linked. Up to a point, sex is an excellent stress reliever, while too much stress is unquestionably a libido assassin.

That seems to tie in with the latest thinking on stress and how it's actually a desirable feature of life, in moderation.
