This one cuts both ways. Too much stress can be as deflating to a sex life as a litter of puppies in the bedroom. If that's the case, there's little you can do at home to fix matters--the change has to come at work. If your work is hindering your sex life, it's probably affecting your health, too. So have that talk with your boss to clear the air, change your duties, and see if you can free up some hours and some brain space that will revive your love life.
But ironically, a stressful job (or even a dangerous one) involving some level of competition, as in law or sales, can actually improve it. "Real competition can drive up testosterone, which boosts libido," says Helen Fisher, Ph.D., author of Why We Love.
"Being amped up by a high-powered, high-stress job is more likely to make you more sexually active" than idling in a cushy, low-key career. Balance is the key.
