Does anyone else's anxiety/stress make them really horny?

No... anxiety does the opposite to me. But if my girlfriend nurtures and comforts me and helps me climb out of my anxiety... i find it extremely attractive sometimes and can become aroused. Hard to explain. There's just something so beautiful and alluring about the way she is so nurturing.

i relieve stress that way

Esp. when I was sleep-deprived for weeks and eating nothing but almonds... the amygdala can be a monster if you let it take executive control. It's an instinctive reaction, more than anything.

My mental illness and my libido are tied very closely together. It’s always been that way for me and can be embarrassing. I made a post about it too.

Not exactly.. its not simple to explain either.. the same triggers that could cause my anxiety can also cause EXCESSIVE horniness depending on what mindset i am in.. it feels like that is a physiological response.. sometimes the bass booms cause extreme anxiety to the point of litteral paralysis.. or.. they could get me so revved up i have to do something about it to function in public... it just kinda depends on whether i fight the incoming waves of energy or if i embrace them. When i fight them.. anxiety ensues.. when i embrace them.. well.. you can figure out the rest.. 🥵

Opposite, if I'm super anxious I can't even get hard

Same here bro 😵‍💫

No and it's a problem because when I'm stressed and need to sleep I can't knock myself out with masturbation as usual. It's very frustrating.

No.

Yeah lol

I'm exactly the same way. Its a coping mechanism for me. I'm currently in a very stressful situation and as a result I'm also very horny and it's bothering me

So that's what it could be... i have the same thing. I'm always stressed and I have extreme anxiety and PTSD, and it get very horny all the time 😅. There are times where I can't control it, who ever i end up with will either be very lucky or wanna leave.

Yah I was sexually abused while being terrified so now being terrified automatically makes me physically aroused 🙄🙄 wonderful

Yes helps me relax

Sometimes yes .

I get horny playing scary games or watching scary movies but it isn't anxiety related ah

More like my body tells me to do something with all tempt up energy and either I clean have sex or exercise.

Yes. I consider masturbation a vital part of my selfcare routine.
