Sex and Stress based on Berman & Berman Talkshow (Peta Fariza Aruna)

Last week in sexual behavior’s class me and my classmates was watching a talk show by Berman and Berman about sex and stress. At first, i think it was less interesting show that would brought me to sleep (regarding the sleepless night before the class, :D), but surprisingly that was a pretty interesting and worth it talk show that was successfully keeping me awake to the end of the show (it was a good knowledge’s source, though).
Generally, this show was telling about the effect of stress on women’s life, especially sex life. This talk show particularly was featuring many source to complete the knowledge about the topic, which was really help the audience to be more aware about stress. besides, the fact about the problems was presented  clearly by some women who was experiencing stress.
According to one of the women who was experiencing stress, she was confessing that stress does matter for sexual relationship. This woman was having quite lots of children (maybe 4 0r 5, i can’t recall), also she was having many works to do each day. Even though she wasn’t have any job, she has so many activities to be accomplished; such as drops and picks children up, buys groceries, washes dishes and clothes, cooks, cleans up the house, and many more. Those activities does make her life so stressful, and that’s why her sexual relationship doesn’t run smoothly.
Because the existence of stress in her life, it makes an aversion to do sex with her husband. Usually, aversion to do sex with a partner could be occur when the woman was having a hard time. In this case, everyday this women was having a busy day that might be  exhausting for her, so that she’s barely not into sex. As my lecture says, sex for women was a sentimental moment that suppose to be enjoyed, so that’s why when a women was in pressure she couldn’t enjoy the sex, even not interested in sex. This situation might be turns to be dangerous, because the interest about sex could be decreasing as time goes by. When your sex relationship with your husband disturbed, it would make your stress level even higher and it would make a problem for your relationship.
From the story above, i could summarize that stress could turns to be a big problem for people’s relationship. When one of the partner not interested into sex because the stress that they’re facing, it would make the other partner feel the same way or disappointed. Thus, try to enjoy and manage life as simple as you can. It doesn’t mean to degrade your quality of life as a mom or wife, but enjoy whatever that you do, so it’ll make you happy.
