Serious question and not trying to be weird, but does anyone else get horny when they're really anxious?

[Jmerrick22]

I don't know but lately I've noticed I've been more anxious than usual and I'm really horny. I'm not trying to be gross, but Im

Wondering if this can be why. It's weird.

Curious do you have a lot of energy also, like not sleeping? Do you have really depressed, down days with no interests?

[Jmerrick22 in reply to DeeM3]

Yes! I do get that way

[DeeM3 in reply to Jmerrick22]

Could be an imbalance. Chemical/hormonal

definitely, having sex relieves the tension, when my wife sees i'm anxious, she usually stays away from me, lol

I have believed for some time that anxiety is linked with our very mortality, in such a way as to point to procreation when our fight or flight response is triggered. If the caveman was injured by a wild animal, but still conscious enough after the attack to be still viable to procreate, then he/she will do, almost before eating or drinking. My own life has been in danger on a number of occasions, and I felt 'stirrings', not directly to do with Adrenaline, but almost a dreamlike, natural demand to function as a sexual animal. I think that in another sense, when pain is taken to an extreme, let's say in sado-massocism, this is also linked to basic procreation, except for the fact that human beings are within a minority of animals using sexual techniques to prolong pleasure. These facilities can and do get rather 'mixed up'! Regards. Steve.
