Sex cures anxiety and stress
Good dayyyy lovely readers of the Goddess Blog and welcome to this fine Wednesday morning, today I want to talk a bit about how you can utilise sex in battling your own anxiety and stress problems. We all know that in today’s fast-paced envirornment, stress and anxiety are considered as two of the biggest problems out there - but never fear as I will be giving you my thoughts on the subject and explaining why I believe that sex is the way to go :)
Without any further ado, let’s get right into it!
It's no secret that consensual sex is healthy. Typically it can feel pretty good, bring you closer to a partner or partners, and give you that marvelous post-coital glow. But what if the Goddess gave you a reason to like sex even more? Getting busy is an even better antidote for our health than many of us realize. Sex can actually be a great source of stress and anxiety relief.
As it turns out, sexual activity doesn't just buy us a few minutes or hours of tranquility. Having sex regularly might reduce tension in the long-term, lowering our baseline levels of stress and anxiety thanks to a number of reasons. And the best part? You can reap the benefits in whatever way you like, be it alongside a companion or completely solo!
1. What Happens In Our Minds After Sex?
Sex can help with stress and anxiety in the long run simply because it’s straight up fun. Think of it in the same way that doing anything that makes you feel happy can act as a form of stress relief. Sexual health is an integral part of overall health. Prioritizing our sexual health really means that we're prioritizing ourselves in some way. Having regular consensual sex can boost our self-confidence and general well-being.
That certainly goes for masturbation, too. If we're prioritizing our sexual health through self-pleasure, that is a form of empowerment. People who masturbate are generally more satisfied relationally, sexually, and in life in general. Take the Goddess for example - every time I feel unhappy or stressed out, masturbation is the way to go! :D
2. How Often Do We Need It To Work?
Sex’s ability to reduce anxiety is not a one and done kind of thing, and having one orgasm certainly isn’t going to rid your mind of stress. I think that in order to reap the benefits, you need to have sex regularly. Think of it like a medication. You have to keep taking it to get the stress-relieving effects.
The operative word here is ‘regularly,’ which is a relative term. ‘Regularly’ is person dependent, of course. For some people, they're going to have sex with themselves or a partner once a month, and that's going to be that stress reducer. And of course, if we're being sex positive, once a month, once a year, every day, twice a day, it’s all good — we're not going to pathologize any of that.
Plus, regular sex looks different to different people. For some, self-pleasure will do the trick. For others, it takes two to really have that prolonged stress and anxiety reducing effect. Whatever your mode, be it solo, with others, or a combo, stick with what makes you feel good and be open to letting your preferences change over time.
3. Sex Affecting Your Relationship
Another big way sex can act as a stress reliever is through its relational effects, meaning the ways in which we are connected to others. If we're having sex with a partner or people, for most, sex deepens that connection. We see a rebound effect after a couple has sex: Our moods are higher, there's more levity, and there's a deeper sense of connection in the relationship, which most people tend to find a positive benefit from.
If we’re having enjoyable, consensual sex with a partner or partners, it makes sense that the act of sex creates closeness. Positive physical intimacy and emotional relations with other humans is an innate desire. And typically, getting closer to someone will have a positive effect on well-being.
And if you are having some trouble in finding a suitable partner for curing your anxiety levels - the Goddess is always happy to oblige! :)))
