Sexually Frustrated? 20 Ways That’ll Help Relieve Your Sticky Situation

Sexual frustration is something that most of us go through at some point in our lives. Sometimes, the gap gets too long due to a stressful life, recent breakup or being in a relationship with a partner who has a low libido. But it all bottoms down to a single line, 'You need sex badly, right now and your desired partner is not available'. This can trigger many unhappy hormones in your body. One needs sex on a routine basis. Our DNA has been created in such a way that it needs sex not only to reproduce but also to satisfy our sexual urges. Sex is almost as important as food, clothes, and shelter. When couples get into long-term relationships, sex becomes fairly a routine work and it might get monotonous for one or both the partners. When one partner has a low libido or less interest in sex and the other one craves it, it leads to sexual frustration. Generally, the male partner needs more sex than the female partner. But in some cases, the female partners need it more too. Very few relationships exist in which both the spouses share an energetic and passionate libido at all times. Mismatched libido can also create a lot of problems between couples. Women, generally, after childbirth, depression and subsequent hormonal imbalance face low sexual libidos. Sex is not only a process done to reproduce. Sex is required to keep one happy, healthy and in a sane frame of mind. It releases feel-good hormones in the body. Many times, people don't even realize that their irritability is due to lack of sex in the recent days. Sex reduces stress, boosts the immune system and also increases our self-esteem. Going through a dry spell or lack of sex can make the person depressed, unwanted and unworthy. This is a common problem faced by many people and it really ends up making us unhappy and unpleasant. But there are ways in which it can be dealt. First of all, one needs to analyze the symptoms to conclude for sure that your irritation is directly proportionate to sexual frustration.

A sexually frustrated person at times does not even realize that he is constantly irritated because of absence of sex in his life. He will continue to be unhappy and irritated and the fact that he is sexually frustrated must have not even crossed his mind. The following symptoms are signs of being sexually frustrated:

Sleep patterns are often negatively affected in those who are sexually frustrated. Sex helps one to release pent-up energy and feel satiated. In the absence of sex, there is a lot of pent-up energy in the body which disturbs the sleep cycle. There are some people who can sleep well in spite of lack of sex in their lives. This is because they are not sexually frustrated. They have low libidos in general and thus lack of sex does not cause any disturbance in their body.

When you have a high libido but cannot release your energy through sex, you have a lot of energy in your body. This energy makes you restless and agitated. It is the same feeling which one has after having too much coffee. If you have not had too much coffee and yet are feeling restless, then it might be due to your current dry spell.

A sexually frustrated person would feel less interested in sex strangely and due to this the reason behind his irritation won't even come to his or her mind. This is one of the strangest signs of being sexually frustrated. It gets alright once the person is in a happy mood again and having sex.

It’s not that you feel less interested in sex, but you also don't feel like masturbating. The stress, the pent up energy and the irritation deviates your mind from sex and all the things related to sex.

Being sexually frustrated gets you annoyed quickly and at times you may feel getting irritated for the smallest reason. You are always in a cranky mood and even the pettiest reasons trigger your anger.

Even looking at some silly porn picture or a person in real might get your knees quivering and turn you on. Being sexually frustrated results in you getting turned on quite ridiculously and when you least expect.

Sexually frustrated people do not get happy or cheered up easily. Only sex can cheer them up.

Sometimes, the body has a way of dealing with excess stress. In some people, the body resorts to binge eating or stress eating in presence of too much of stress in the body. You end up drinking too much or eating too much junk food. Eating too much sugary or starchy food makes you feel good initially but later on, they will make you feel worse.

Being sexually frustrated makes your brain think about all your exes with whom you have enjoyed great sex. Perhaps, it is just the body's way of reminding you that you need sex.
