Megwyn White, certified clinical psychologist and Director of Education at Satisfyer defines sexual frustration as a feeling of pent-up sexual energy that is unable to find an outlet for release.
Signs of sexual frustration
Megwyn says that sexual frustration can arise in the context of relationships where one person wants to express their sexual intimacy but their partner does not reciprocate their desires. It can also manifest in single people who are turned on but do not have a partner to explore with. Here are signs of sexual frustration:
Being Reactive
Being easily irritated and snappy is a sign of sexual frustration. Megwyn asserts that it could mean that you are quick to react to your partner angrily or have accumulated stress that affects how you express yourself or communicate.
Overindulging
Spending lots of time on social media or overindulgence in alcoholic drinks are side effects of sexual frustration. You may notice that you indulge yourself in such things just to compensate for what you are already missing. You may find yourself channelling your sexual frustration into these unhealthy activities as a way to suppress your feelings and yearnings.
Trouble sleeping is often experienced by people experiencing sexual frustration. Alan Riley a specialist in sexual medicine explains, “Orgasm is also an amnesiac – it makes you forget things like the stresses of the day. Sex is physically relaxing because of the sudden release of muscle tension, and it is emotionally soothing, too.” Some people who are sexually frustrated result to masturbation just to get off to sleep.
Tension In Body
When you are sexually frustrated you are likely to build tension around your sexual centre which may affect your quality of life.”This tension can affect not only your comfort and quality of life but also your posture and how you hold yourself in relation to others,” Megwyn explains.
An escort with whom you can connect emotionally is a plus as they may make you feel appreciated, more confident and with renewed energy to carry out their activities.
Communicate With Your Partner
it is very important to talk to your partner about what you desire to explore and what is derailing your exploration. Sometimes life stressors such as poor health and finances can negatively impact someone’s sex life.
Seek Help From A Sex Therapist
Seek help from a therapist if you are sexually frustrated
A certified sex therapist is trained to support individuals with sexual-related concerns. Such a professional can also help you develop techniques that may aid you in eliminating frustration.
Exercise
Coming up with an exercise routine will help you to rid of any pent-up energy and bring your life back to balance.
You can divert your energy to other activities that you enjoy doing like cooking or hiking. If you can tag your partner along in such activities it may help you reconnect with your partner and rekindle with them thus taking your relationship to where you desire it to be.
In Conclusion
Without physical intimacy, a relationship is not likely to last long. Couples living together or in close proximity are not likely to suffer from sexual frustration unless they face issues in their relationships. Sexual frustration is most common among couples in a long-distance relationship since distance gets in the way of physical intimacy. Couples in a long-distance relationship should make a plan and a timeline for when their long-distance relationship will last.
