Sex relieves stress, but there are a ton of other ways so don't be so naive when your b/f says that. Just exercise, that relieves stress, too.

Sex is a good stress reliever when you really get into it. If you don't want to use sex as a weapon then try exercises. Yoga or aerobics. Push-ups and jumping jacks along with jump rope are good stress relievers. Also try a hot bubble bath with candles, soft music and candles. Put a little lavender essential oil in the bath and it will help relax you and melt the stress away. But unless you deal with the problem what is causing the stress anything you do will only be a temporary fix, get to the bottom of the cause and it will go away permanently.

Yes, intercourse can relieve stress but there are many other things you can do to relieve stress as well. Play music loud and sing or dance to it is a good way to relieve stress as is excercise of any kind, not just sex.

orgasm releases built up tension, and it triggers endorphines, which make you feel good and happy. Sex is not the only way to relieve stress, you can snuggle, just sit together and have a nice whatever topic conversation, even a cup of tea can be a stress reliever.

I think it is, but the problem is that if you're stressed you don't always feel like having sex, you just want to be left alone. So, that said, there are other ways to relieve stress, such as exercise, meditation, etc.

It is a stress reliever.. Maybe you should try Painting, Exercising or something that you can do by yourself.

Yes it is - but I'm not quite sure what you were looking for in you question since you said you don't want your bf to be able to use that as a reason to have sex.

yes it is, it also relieves headaches... the activity allows the blood to flow better and you release endorphins leaving you more relaxed. if you don't want to have sex, exercise is the second best way...
