It depends: Sex can potentially help relieve stress but it may also cause stress (esp. If you get pregnant or an infection). It may not be having sex as much as having an orgasm that relieves stress. Of course that can be done without a partner.If you have a partner the quality of the relationship is central to the degree to which it might relieve stress.There are many other ways to reduce stress-see comment:.
