Sexual desire is lower than it’s been at any point during the pandemic for people who are feeling stressed, a new study says. To rekindle your relationship, sex therapists advise to just start touching.

One evening while watching Netflix with her husband, Nicole Katsulis worked up her nerve and asked him something terrifying: “Why don’t you want to have sex with me?”during the pandemic. She’d had a baby right before it started, then spent months snacking while working from home. Countless nights snuggled with her family in front of the TV bingeing on chips and cookies had also taken their toll. Now, she worried that she no longer turned her husband on.She’s not the only one.

Now, therapists and sex researchers believe there’s another pandemic problem that’s affecting couple’s sex lives. Blame it on a sense of malaise brought on by stress, Dr. Balzarini says. Yes, gyms and salons were closed for a time, and many people weren’t comfortable going when they did reopen due to safety concerns. But research shows that many people are feeling low or depressed. This sapped their energy. They didn’t work out at home. They let their grooming go.

In reporting this story, I found people dodging their partner’s overtures, hiding under the covers during sex and faking headaches and backaches, all because they felt schlubby.— A writer in Southern California

I guess they have not seen my onlyfans cheap subscription hot videos and sexy pictures

my wife has been gardening a lot?

drink a glass of water on an empty stomach every day but avoid eating or drinking anything for around 45 minutes.

not mine. gotta have a good wife who you truly love.

The flu has caused the global economy to retreat, and the money in our hands is constantly depreciating. Who stole our wealth? I think this is a question worth thinking about.

Touch me…

thanks

Porn?

Yeah, it's the 'flu' that's bringing out the best in people.

Gosh, it'd better be, especially your soldiers who have consistently raped around the world when they are sent out to kill, since the two world wars. Come on guys, don't lie about it, they behaved worse than animals.

Where do they come up with that? I bet the stats on some websites have thrived throughout the pandemic 😷

I don't think so 😆

Lan asıl sıkıntı bu kadar stresin içinde siki kendiliğinden kalkanlarda aga.

Which is ironic because sex is great for stress relief.

Maybe yours, brother...

Is this really a worthwhile story, that people don't wana ****.

Don't touch me

My wife left me after reading this today

now do it in other languages

It would help if we knew why testosterone levels have drastically declined the last 40yrs.

Since this is a Rupert Murdoc publication, let’s clarify that it’s not unwanted touching you’re talking about- we don’t want to empower any more Harvey Weinstein’s.

😂🤣🤣 claro , es un portal del norte .🤣🤣🤣😂

Never in my entire life would I have expected to encounter a word like “Schlubby”, especially when it's being used by a big-name news outlet.

To start touching what?

That’s advice for women. Men are ready,locked and loaded, every minute of every day; pandemic, earthquake, famine. No matter.

..and in case of no one to touch?

Anyone in particular?

Yup. Stressing about those 30lbs you put on.

Good theory

Touching…who, exactly? Come on. You gotta be specific.

nwo call it immune compromise when nwo fake vaccines fail to stop coronas breaking through like nwo do to butt holes to taste nwo loyalty

Hate that f'in pumpkin mustard shit color they're pushing this season. Black people look good in it, almost no one else does.

I've learnt a lot from a mentor who were instrumentally in shape with me, and I want to share what I've learnt. Investing with you has changed my life Geoffreypreud

That's why Onlyfans has turned an entire generation in to prostitutes right? Oh wait...I guess that just has them singing that I Touch Myself song from the 90s

Not sure about this.

wow

And for gdsake-- put away the fucking phones while talking to each other.

Thank you, Wall Street Journal 😵‍💫

just when I'm about to hit the town...

Down with that sort of thing ...

Eye roll

It's a bit odd for the WSJ to run a story on failing sexual desire.

Ya'll won 🤣🤣

I think the first step is actually to ask for consent wsjsupportsunwantedtouching
