We all got it…stress, stress and more stress. Stress can be a leading cause of diminished sexual desire. It can lower testosterone, which is responsible for sex drive. It can also release a chemical reaction in the body, restricting blood flow and thus making arousal and orgasm sometimes difficult.

If you’re like most people, your workload will not be letting up any time soon. So what can you do?

Start doing things that make you feel better both mentally and physically. Have friends over more often. Listen to music. Get a massage and get one often. Try Biofreeze (a soothing product used by massage therapists) on your shoulder and neck.

We all love it but caffeine isn’t good for stress. And stay away from all the depressing news on TV. Watch George Lopez or something funny prior to hitting the sheets.

According to reproductive medical specialist and fertility expert, Dr. Arthur Wisot, “sex occurs 90 percent in the head and 10 percent in the genitals.”

If you’re feeling stressed out take time to unwind and enjoy your sexual desires.
