Should be the opposite. Stressful conditions make us want to fuck and make babies. Maybe I'm wrong, but in any case, sex is about the most effective stress relief I know of.

I don't think your experience in this case is universal. Birth rates have been steadily dropping as things have gotten worse.

I feel the same way as you, but my wife is the opposite of us.

Wasn't speaking from experience, or today's social norms. Meant to say that primates fuck and masturbate when stressed. We do as well.
