Eine äußerst interessante Studie des Projekts Theratalk von der Universität in Göttingen erstaunt viele Menschen. Bisher glaubten die meisten von ihnen, dass zu viel Sex Stress verursachen würde. Doch genau das Gegenteil kann nach Auswertung des Projekts der Fall sein. Praktizieren Menschen zu wenig Sex miteinander, kann die Folge hoher Stress sein.
Das haben wir schon immer gewusst, mögen sexfreudige Geister in diesen Tagen denken. Stress ist bekanntermaßen ein Lustkiller. Die Göttinger jedoch haben herausgefunden, dass Sexmangel den Stresspegel steigern lassen kann. Betroffene Paare geraten in einen beziehungsfeindlichen Strudel, aus dem sie allein kaum noch im Stande sind zu fliehen. Über 30.000 Männer und Frauen nahmen am Projekt teil. Mit dem Ergebnis, dass ein Drittel von ihnen, die maximal ein Mal pro Woche Sex miteinander haben, sich Hals über Kopf in die Arbeit stürzen. Eine Form der Frustbewältigung über das vermurkste Liebesleben unterm eigenen Dach. Je weniger im eigenen Bett - oder sonst wo passiert, umso mehr steigert sich die Arbeitswut der Betroffenen.
Wer hingegen schon zwei Mal binnen einer Woche Sex mit seinem Partner hat, der lässt es im Job entspannter angehen. Arbeitgeber mögen die Ohren spitzen und unruhig werden. Motto: Meine Leute sollten weniger Sex haben, dann leisten sie mehr. Doch es sollte in den Führungsetagen angekommen sein, dass Menschen ausbrennen und in Depressionen verfallen können. Mit entsprechenden Ausfallzeiten. Und Aktionismus ist nicht gleichzusetzen mit Produktivität. Ein sexuell aktiver und entspannter Mensch kann durchaus erfolgreich sein.
Dass ein Mangel an Sex Stress verursacht, der wiederum ein Lustkiller ist, ergänzt sich. Experten sprechen von einer Abwärtsspirale. Was für eine Beziehung auf Dauer das Aus bedeuten kann. Indikatoren sind sexuelle Frustration und Unzufriedenheit. Daher ist es wichtig, dass Paare ihre sexuellen Aktivitäten und ihre Zufriedenheit sowie ihre individuelle Befriedigung stets im Auge behalten. Besonders wichtig ist, dass man ohne Vorbehalte miteinander redet. Schweigen aus Scham oder gar aus falsch verstandener Rücksichtnahme ist ein Fehler. Wenn es zwei Menschen allein nicht schaffen, darüber zu reden und langfristig glücklich zu sein, ist eine Paartherapie zu empfehlen. Zu verdrängen, ist der Schritt ins mögliche Beziehungsende oder andere Dramen. Zurück zur Studie. Sexuell Frustrierte nehmen oft Verpflichtungen an, die sie nur schwerlich wieder loswerden. Wie Vereinsaktivitäten. Man möchte sich damit einfach nur ablenken vom akuten Sexfrust. Man hat infolge dessen weniger Zeit für die eigene Beziehung, was sich natürlich negativ auf die sexuelle Zufriedenheit auswirkt. Ein äußerst gefährlicher Teufelskreis! | Translation - English
Many were taken by surprise by an intriguing study from the Theratalk project at the University of Göttingen that challenges the notion that too much sex causes stress. The project’s findings showed that just the opposite is the case: when a couple experiences too little activity between the sheets, the results suggested, stress can rise.
These findings likely come as no surprise to contemporary proponents of sex. After all, stress is a well-known libido-killer. But the Göttingen study showed that lack of sex itself can raise stress levels. Affected couples can end up in a relationship-wrecking maelstrom that’s all but impossible to escape. More than 30,000 men and women took part in the project. Results showed that one-third of the couples, who had sex once a week at most, instead bury themselves in their work. This is one method of managing frustration caused by a shabby love life. The less action taking place in their own bed – or wherever it might happen – the more manic the working habits of the participants.
In comparison, those who have sex with their partners twice a week can take a more relaxed approach to their jobs. Employers who believe that employees who have less sex perform better on the job might initially find this idea a bit disturbing. But even those in the lofty executive offices must have heard by now that workers can burn out and become depressed – which is accompanied by corresponding absences from work.
And the employee who seems to work hard all the time isn’t necessarily the most productive. A sexually active and relaxed person is entirely capable of success.
The fact that a lack of sex causes stress, which in turn suppresses desire, results in what experts refer to as a downward spiral. If it continues over a long term, it can spell the end of a relationship. Indicators include sexual frustration and dissatisfaction. That’s why it’s important for couples to remain aware of their sexual activity and satisfaction as well as their individual fulfillment. Being able to speak openly with each other is crucial – staying silent out of shame or a misguided concept of consideration for your partner’s feelings is a mistake. If two people cannot reach a point where they can talk about the issue and reach long-term happiness on their own, couples therapy is recommended. Suppressing these thoughts amounts to stepping toward ending the relationship or other dramatic situations.
But to return to the study: the findings indicated that sexually frustrated partners often take on responsibilities that they subsequently find difficult to extricate themselves from, such as obligations made to social clubs. In doing so, they’re simply seeking to distract themselves from their acute sexual frustration. As a result, they have less time for their own relationships, which of course has a detrimental impact on sexual satisfaction. This produces a negative cycle that feeds on itself!
