Recognize the impact of stress on sexual desire from "summary" of Come As You Are: Revised and Updated by Emily Nagoski
Stress influences our sexual desire in a variety of ways. When we are stressed, our bodies produce more cortisol, the stress hormone, which can dampen our sexual response. This can make it harder to get aroused or experience pleasure during sexual activity. Stress can also affect our ability to focus on the present moment and connect with our partner, leading to feelings of disconnection and reduced desire. Furthermore, chronic stress can lead to burnout, causing us to feel emotionally and physically drained. This can make the idea of engaging in sexual activity seem unappealing or overwhelming. Additionally, stress can impact our sleep patterns, making us feel tired and lethargic, further reducing our motivation for sex. In some cases, stress can manifest as increased anxiety or depression, which can have a significant impact on our libido. Feelings of anxiety can make it difficult to relax and enjoy sexual activity, while depression can cause a loss of interest in pleasurable activities, including sex. These mental health challenges can further exacerbate the effects of stress on our sexual desire.- Meditation, or exercise. It could also involve seeking support from a therapist or counselor to address underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to stress. By prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being, we can improve our overall sexual health and well-being.
