Saturday’s are for all things sex related that make you go “huh?” With all the modern-day stressors it seems like a great time to learn about people who are anxiousexual. We all know that sex is considered a great stress reliever. However, for some people stress can cause their sex drive to shut off completely. These people are known as Anxiousexual.
What is anxiousexual
At the core someone who is anxiousexual is just too stressed for sex. Negative feelings such as stress and anxiety can make it hard for you to find sexual activity enjoyable. Getting in the mood, being honest about what turns you on, and enjoying super pleasurable orgasms all suffer when you are gripped by panic and worry. Anxiousexuals just don’t have the mental space left to even care about physical pleasure.
Can you help an anxiousexual
Find what boosts oxytocin for the anxiousexual, and then remove as much stress as you can. Think of anxiety as a distraction from sex and try to eliminate that distraction. If the stressers are things you can take off your partners shoulders, you need to. Also spend some time focusing on relaxation before even attempting foreplay. Since they physical manifestations of anxiety, like tensed muscles and shallow breathing can impact your partners ability to reach orgasm, talk about it with each other. Decide if you would both rather put in the extra time to reach orgasm or if the physical closeness and intimacy is enough for them to be fully satisfied. Talking about these kinds of stresses can seem like a stress in itself, so be sure to give them time and make them feel as comfortable as possible by setting the mood and making them feel as relaxed as possible.
We will see you next Saturday for more strange sex adventures!
