National news (I’m American) has me stressed out. Yet my drive is much higher than normal, which seems counterintuitive.
I’m curious to know if y’all typically have more sex when you’re stressed or less.

I would say that I am less into sex if I am truly stressed. I suppose it probably depends on what you are stressed about. Most of the time I have been stressed, it has to do with a deadline. I get much less stressed about money because I plan about what comes in and what goes out reasonably well. The news usually doesn't stress me out. I can remember some events way back into the 60s. The checks and balances of the USA government tends to reject a lot of the worst ideas. Right now I am happy about the news because my Social Security distributions are going to go up a lot this year. I was calculating how much today. I will see if my calculations are reasonably correct when the new law gets implemented.

When you're stressed, you typically experience less sex because stress hormones like cortisol can significantly lower your libido and make you less interested in sexual activity; however, having sex can help reduce stress levels due to the release of feel-good hormones like oxytocin and endorphins.?

Its a cruel oxymoron of nature. Yes the cortisol of stress makes sex harder makes bellies fatter, really makes **** near every aspect of life harder and we live in a world swimming with stress that is too hard to survive in sometimes. Its no wonder we all have anxiety problems, surviving everyday life is an anxiety problem. But the irony is that what we probably need most in those moments would be sex, the intimacy and the closeness and the comfort and the physical release pf energy and stress and the physical pleasure of dopamine and oxytocin. Its like stress prevents us from being able to get what we need most when we are stressed.
