Stress and sexuality

Post Reply New Topic

Well, it's no secret that sex is a huge source of stress relief, but I'm curious as to whether other bisexuals feel more or less attracted to the same sex during stressful times. I have found pretty consistently that when I'm the most stressed, I feel the most attracted to the same sex. It's almost like there's a need to escape conformity and that's the route my mind chooses to cope. Give me a few weeks vacation and time on the beach and I am more than happy with straight sex, but after long hours and high-stress situations, I become focused on gay sex. It has always struck as odd and I know the attraction to the same gender has to be there in the first place, but I'm wondering if any other folks here have noticed similar things within themselves.

Hmmm ... crickets. Lack of response is helpful, although in a different kind of way.

I know what you're talking about. I'm more attracted to the same sex normally, but I do get that as well. I think it's because I'm in a straight relationship. If I was with another woman, I don't think it would happen.
