Sex and Stress: According to the Germans
Thu 26 Jul 2007 – 10.39
In America, there is a great deal of chatter about “stress”. Oprah, and her crew have bastardised the word so that nowadays it’s the sort of thing that no one takes seriously — just have some flavoured tea and a bubble bath. And of course everyone like to talk about sex, even if they’re not having it. *cough*
Here’s a new look at the downward spiral of having rare sex and having no sex at all, and how stress fits in with it. Interesting to hear an alternative view on things from our friends in Europe.
And, to make matters worse for sexless workaholics, the extra work cuts into their would-be sex time. “Sexual frustration prevents you from being able to reduce your stress,” Beer observes. In other words, no sex leads to even less sex.
Bad news, it seems.
