Does a stressful job affect your sex life?

Does a stressful job impact your sex life?

My husband would use this as a reason for not being interested. Along with a whole
list other stuff - including the fact that our 10 year old doesn’t go to bed at 7pm.

Wish he would just be honest 😆

Depends on the individual really. I have a very demanding job so know how sometimes you just can't be bothered :)

A stressful job is not a sole reason to not be interested.

Not affected me that way. When I have been overloaded at work I sometimes want a good quickie, I almost demand it. At those times I havn't the patience for lovey dovey stuff, but I want it fairly rough. Luckily we know each others boundaries.

Sometimes, I work shifts and so does my OH, so it does take its toll depending on what and when we’re working, one week we will have sex 2 or 3 times then go a couple without because life and how we working just takes over.

Thanks for the replies. Interesting perspectives.

The 'problem' is actually me! I'm so hectic at work I just need the relief of an orgasm!

My ex husband used this as an excuse. He had a busy job and would masturbate to get relief but had no interest in doing it with me at all. Even when offered direct help!

@SaraOnSaturdayi get that, if I don’t get the release through sex, I’m masturbating 2 or 3 times a day

@Voided85 if I don’t get the release through sex, I’m masturbating 2 or 3 times a day
Same here, well once or twice, and lesbian porn.

It feels like there are two types of people in the world: those for whom sex relieves stress, and others who need to feel stress-free to have sex. And then they marry each other.

the answer to the OP question is Yes but like most things in a relationship if you want success you both have to put the time and effort in
