Less!
Stress definitely reduces my sex drive. Although a good orgasm can reduce stress, itâs just hard to get in the mood in the first place.
Brilliant suggestion @Oldman. The news is rather depressing. I avoid it as much as possible, I skim read the headlines so I know whatâs going on but I donât need to in depth analysis. And @Mr_Kink1, social media isnât helpful either, I stay away from it. A good action / comedy movie is the best way to get relaxed and in the mood I think. Or a meal out maybe.

Too rightâŚI think âNews At Tenâ is the most depressing programme to sit throughâŚeach âBONGâ brings even more awful news.
Wouldnât it be nice if like in the 70âs they slotted a cartoon on instead???
Yes avoid stressfulâŚdepressing social media & television.
Use the time instead for kindness and loving.

When Iâm stressed, I definitely lean horny, want to go find those distractions wherever I can.
My wife definitely isnât put in the mood at all by being stressed out, BUT if itâs been one of those crazy days we often have the sex anyway knowing that a good orgasm at bedtime can help to at least back-burner those lingering thoughts and worries enough to get a good nightâs sleep.

When i was younger and working very stressful 12 hour nights, it was only the thought of a good session at the weekend that got me through the week, i would be standing at my machine hard just thinking about it. A daily manual release certainly helped the stress levels reduce too!
Nowadays with age and a different job with far fewer hours, i tend not to get too stressed, but my libido is more or less the same.
Also like some of our other members i avoid the news and only stick to certain social media, like here and Facebook.

It definitely depends for me. Work stress and even the pandemic I def needed to let off some steam. However weâve been on a real emotional rollercoaster regarding family in the last few months of last year and my libido pretty much disappeared, which has extremely concerning. Seems to have bounced back recently with a vengeance

Although a good session can certainly relieve stress Iâd say it is definitely less horny for me⌠on a day to day basis Iâd more likely decline any offer if I came home stressed from work, but I can see how it can also lead to being submissive
More stress/Less stress makes zero difference for me.
More stress is a sex killer for Mrs. Val. I know where we are at for sex by her mood⌠and there is no changing itâŚever.
Depends on the intensity of the stress, sometimes if Iâm overwhelmed I just want to give in an get hammered, but more often it grinds me down to where I just canât be bothered.
Hi for all!
It just makes me miserable
Stress would certainly make me far less horny.
Hubby just falls off of the sex radar, but I find I have a weird approach. I get less horny, but I find the more I have to be in control of, the more submissive I feel. The more submissive I feel, the more I want to have sex (to please another). So, is that horny or not? It certainly feels like it, but if it is then itâs not to please me 
Less, definitely less.
More and I find the endorphins released by sex help calm the stressâŚâŚ but partner is complete opposite and it falls off a cliff when she is stressed!
Me = more horny
Her = less horny
I find sex such a great way to kill stress and get different perspective, whereas she is like âIâm way too stressed to think about nookie!â
Can lead to interesting situations âŚ
More. Way more! I guess because I find the physical contact reassuring? And orgasm is a good way to distract or totally turn off the brain for a while.

Totally get where youâre coming from! Stress tends to amp up my energy in unexpected ways, too. Itâs like a quirky coping mechanism. Itâs interesting how everyoneâs wired differently. You can read more about it here:
I donât think more or less for either of us, but sex certainly is a great reliever. And stress can make it more intense and passionate, and quick!
Very lucky for me, my wife and I both work from home!
Have been struggling with work stress lately and my sex drive has fell off a cliff. Minimal desire to masturbate or engage in any other sexual activity. Havenât even enjoyed any anal play lately due to certain reasons.
