Sex Addict Vs Sex as a Stress Reliever

So I accused him of being a sex addict? No, he replied it's my stress reliever. Some people think that sex, a few times a week, is enough or even more than enough. But for some people that is not the case at all. Some people need some form or sexual contact just to be in a good mood; and they may need it more than once a day. I used to think that if I was having sex everyday he should be good. If he wanted more, then my goodness, maybe he is a sex addict. It took my cousin to correct me and let me know if he was a sex addict that is all he would be thinking about. He would not be able to function. Sex would consume his mind all the time. Just like a drug addict or an alcoholic. They can not function as a whole unless they are doing what they are addicted to doing. But that was not the case in this situation. He could function. He went to work everyday and handled his responsibilities. But he was just extra grouchy about it. And it works both ways. My cousin is a person who has been accused of being a sex addict and she is a female. She explained to me how it just relieves her stress.

So after thinking about it, sex and stress are linked. There are a lot of things done during sex or sexual activity that are techniques used to reduce stress. Here are a few examples:

1. Just like a good massage relieves stress. Sex has to do with sense of touch, erotic massage. It feels good. Like Ludacris says "Some say that sex is over rated, but they just aint doing it right"
2. Some people workout to relieve stress, they feel so much better after a good workout. Guess what, sex is a really good workout, burns calories and all.
3. When you learn about stress management, one thing they tell you to do is to take deep breaths to relax your body. During sex aren't you breathing heavy? I really hope you answer yes to this question.

Then you have the more scientific facts about sex and stress. Like how sex releases endorphins and other "feel good" hormones. Don't you feel really good after good sex? Do you ever notice how much nicer your partner is to you after you give him or her some. People always joke around saying this person needs to get laid so they can loosen up. And most people do afterwards.

But do remember a healthy relationship is crucial for a healthy sex life. I did not write this article to encourage people to go out and have a lot of different sexual partners so you can have a lot of sex and be stress free. You must be responsible about it. And there is nothing wrong with masturbation if you are single. We do that because it feels good and we need it. But it's definitely better with a partner. Just be safe and responsible about it.
