Orgasm can release some stress, but expert Joey Garcia says that it isn’t all that great as a strategy to eliminate stress.  In fact, the opposite is true.  In an article in News Review, Garcia says that using sex as a stress reducer can lead to some serious problems in a relationship.

From the full article:

“Sexual activity does reduce stress, but using sex as anti-stress medicine will take a toll on your relationship. The purpose of sexual activity is to connect intimately with your partner, deepening your capacity for passion, love and self-giving. But under stress, sex can quickly become an addiction, dehumanizing your partner and reducing your ability to connect intimately with her or him. A healthy romantic relationship that includes consistent intimacy on all levels is the right preparation against stress.”

And as we’ve mentioned in recent posts, many Americans find that sex toys are an integral part of a healthy sexual relationship.  Check out our complete line of Sex Toys for Couples to find the toy that is right for you and your partner.
