I find stress and tiredness (general daytime tiredness not late at night) make me more horney. My wife is the other. We both have a lot of stress currently, its a nightmare.
Curious the rest of the community and their partners feel

Definitely less, when I’m stressed sex is the last thing on my mind. Tiredness I can work with, stress not. My partner gets less horny when he’s tired or stressed though.

When I’m stressed, there’s nothing like a good ol’ shag to get that stress out 
and he doesn’t seem to mind when I do his favourite act 
A couple of times he’s come home from work a bit stressed, he’ll say to me “get that ass in the air” 
and he’ll let his stress out in his thrusting

Less. I don’t feel attractive and confident when I’m preoccupied with stressful events. Definitely true what others have said though about sex being a great way of dealing with it, IF you can get in the right mood.

Less for me as well, you need to be relaxed and carefree.
Definitely less! I’m very single minded and if my mind is caught up on stress I can’t switch over and feel turned on, it’s generally the last thing on my mind and if the OH tries to instigate something I just get snappy and pissed off… Thankfully my job now is very rarely stressful!

Much less.
It doesn’t happen much now as we’re both retired but when we were both working stress could result in a total drought for weeks.
Less, although even if I’m stressed, something like a spanking will get me going.

Less, I used to work a very stressful job. Sex was right at the bottom of my priorities and Mr John went without for months on end.

Less… a lot, lot less.
Depends on the stressor: if it is professional/career related, then more. Certain challenges that can be perceived as stressing can be a turn-on for me. If the stress is due to personal/domestic problems it really can put me off sex.

More. A lot more. Sometimes sex can be used in a healthy way for stress relief. It also depends on the stress too I suppose.
This is a difficult one, probably feel less horny but know that it very much relieves the stress, so slight catch22 but definitely feel better for the release and the closeness!
Be can also say that OH definitely switched off by stress and struggles to get past it. Even though she knows the sex will help her, chances of sex of any variation is very unlikely when she is stressed!!
I get less horny when stressed but also think masturbation or sex is a positive way to escape that stress bubble for a short time

My wife sounds pretty similar to you on this front, @rosiedosie.
I’m the opposite to this though, like @Dirty-Wife said, stress makes me want sex more. I guess it’s to do with the release and relaxation after. But I can’t work well with tiredness.

I’m the same too with tiredness, I just want sleep
