Honestly what is all breaks down to is distraction, MAJOR distraction. It's hard to crunch this quarter's budget figures while on a 5 mile run or whilst bumping uglies. So what do you enjoy? well OVER do it today and that will help in most cases.

If you have a partner on demand.

masterbation?

of course that could be illegal to depending on how you do it

Doesn't have the same stress relieving effects as sex with another person. At least in my experience.

Awww flowers for me? Not necessary, candlelight will do.

blow up doll?

I don't know. I'll try it and get back to you.

yeah but that lacks the same effort of sex.

plus by the time your done blowing it up your to out of breath to do anything else...lol

Good point.

Wait wouldn't the blowing it up relieve stress anyways?

Exercise, take a long hot shower and than doing something you like, sex is a good stress reliever, go out to a place you like, like th bookstore or the movies, cook something you like, if you have pets, pets can be good for relieving stress if you play with them or even sitting down watching some mindless tv while petting your dog or cat can be good, observe changes in your breathing and replace them with steady and slow breaths to calm your nerves, clear your mind from troubling thoughts, imagine yourself in your nice place, a desert oasis, a beach, somewhere nice where you can relax. Treat yourself to a that hot long hot shower or even taking a nap can help. slow down your responses to difficult or stressful situations, you will find that slowing down and responding when you have all your ducks in a row or all the facts straight can help rather than flying off the handle or getting overly reactive. Keep your distance from others, you may need to back up for a while so you can get a better perspective on a situation, take a break, get some coffee or tea. If caffeine causes you to get too wired, don't drink it. Give someone a hug, you may need one too. hush the critical voice inside your head, turn your nagging self thinking into positive thinking and reward yourself for the things you have done right. Self talk is good when stressed major. Affirmations can be good here. it is ok to ask for help when you are stressed and a situation is more than you can handle alone. Take a retreat, go somewhere nice for a while, like for a nice drive, don't drive angry. Maybe go out to eat or go visit a family member you can trust and be supportive. Ok that's all I got for now, LOL

Maybe it would.

i`d think that it would be more frustrating since you wasted all your breath blowing the thing up for nothing...lol

hot bath...then lay naked in bed reading with a candle lit close by

whoa.

laugh, laugh, and then laugh some more. find something that makes you laugh (movie, comedy hour, the 3 stooges, etc.) Laughter is the best stress reliever, exercise is 2nd on my list. It works for me

gulp !!

what is with the "whoa" and "gulp"? that's just me!

i think the guys up there need some stress relief after whitley`s post...lol
