Does high stress/fatigue from work lower your libido at home...?
Be honest. Or does it have the opposite effect...?

1. I'm a mixed bag. It's kind of hard to explain.
Yes, stress typically lowers my libido. But it also makes me yearn for a stress reliever.

2. So do you seek out sex less often, or more? n/t

4. When I'm stressed?
Probably more. But it's weird. I don't do it because I'm more in the mood, more because I know that I'm sick from the stress, and I know it will make me feel better. Almost like medicine.

3. Stress, no. Fatigue, sometimes.
But it is more likely that satisfying my libido will cause me to be fatigued at work!

:evilgrin:

5. I guess you're lucky...
I'm always seeing articles about how stress can kill sex drive--very sad! :)

14. Sometimes
one reason I just quit my job and am taking another one at less pay :crazy: but the stress is the factor and wanting to yell and scream "f___ you all" or go postal were the more pressing reasons I left. :D

16. Nope.
I find that my high libido at home can help me reduce stress from work.

That, and not giving a shit about my job anymore also helps...

17. No. Probably the opposite effect for me.
Of course, that may change as I get older.
