lovinlife432 Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Is it normal for a guy to not be interested in sex when he's stressed out? How about wanting to spend less time with their ladies during stressful times? Any tips to help beat the stress?
littlepiggy1 Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Yeah, stress kills sex drive. People also can want to withdraw socially. To beat stress: a) Find out what is causing it and deal with that directly. b) If you can't do A, then try talking to some friends, family about it. Sometimes just talking to someone can make a lot of difference. c) Exercise helps reduce stress.
Sunblast Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 I can give me as an example: I'm not horny when I'm stressed because sex is distracting me from fixing what I need to fix.
pgam Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 While sex can be a great stress reliever, when a guy is under a great deal of stress, nothing can relieve that. So yes, a guy may want to withdraw and also not want to have sex. This can play on not just your emotions, but on the emotions of your partner.

Phateless Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 If he's so stressed that he doesn't even want sex, give him space until he's ready. Ask him ONCE if there's anything you can do to help, then let him be. I know I get cranky when stressed and I just tend to want space.
Sunblast Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Actually, case in point, also about me, I thought about it today... I was working a lot for the past month setting up a business. I was really busy and really stressed out. I didn't really have sex much (no girlfriend, anyway) and didn't feel like going out and f-cking. Then today I was walking around a college campus, and there's this girl, and I'm like, mmmm... girl... warm... (it was chilly in that hallway)... sex... purr.... but the other 100 girls I walked by I was thinking about my business, so they were just in the background, like "oh, ok, table, wall, hot girl, garbage can, window..." etc

Insight into what really does go through a man's head. It kind of reminds me of the same way my dog might think (Person?...play!?!....bark!!!...) Just kidding guys...!!! In all honesty, thanks for the help. He had a day to his video games/tv, and later today I went over there wearing his favorite set of underwear I own and showed him what he'd been missing out on. Needless to say, he was feeling a lot better afterwards.
