Research Notes on Sex and Stress Relief


Some research suggests that sexual activity reduces stress levels and improves mood.1 In addition, improvement in mood can result in more frequent sexual activity and therefore provide greater stress management benefits overall.1 Sexual activity can reduce baseline blood pressure and prevent a sharp rise during stressful events.1 Orgasm itself has demonstrated stress relief benefits and enhances health.1

Fast Facts:

  • Sex reduces stress through touching, massage, and the release of mood-enhancing hormones.2
  • A healthy relationship maximizes the benefits of sexual activity and stress relief.2
  • The act of sexual intercourse provides the most stress reduction benefits of all sexual activity.3
