Oil in the back

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

EVER so often you will hear someone being ridiculed that the reason they’re cross/angry/miserable is because they need some good loving. But does sex really work like that? Will you feel irritable, touchy and cantankerous if you’re not getting any?

Erica:

Yes, I believe this to be true. Sex just has a way of putting you in a happy state of mind. If I haven’t had it in a long time I literally get cross and the simplest of things tick me off.

Richard:

Yes, absolutely. But I find this more in women who I have been around. A lack of sex gets to me but it doesn’t alter my personality the way it does some women. My God, some women switch up on you like day and night. My ex was like that. Our jobs kept us apart and to be honest there were times when I never wanted to go home. She was miserable plus tax but once we had sex she would go back to being nice.

Scott:

A lack of sex makes me overdo things. For example, if I usually spend two hours at the gym, I end up spending three to four hours there, all in an attempt not to think about it and channel my energy in other directions.

Deon:

When I was younger I thought that something was wrong with me. I thought I was on an emotional roller coaster. I had friends who told me then that I needed sex but I wasn’t in a relationship so it made me even more frustrated. The more I yearned for it, the more I wanted it.  But now I’m married and have it whenever I want so I’m as happy as can be.

Velvet:

Sex is just a mind thing to me. It doesn’t affect me because I just don’t think about it and when I do I don’t dwell on it.
