Here's a thoughtful article on how couples might redirect everyday stress and anger by channeling that negative energy in a more sex positive manner.   thePEEQ

The majority of Hopkins students can be defined as intelligent, motivated and constantly stressed out. We stuff our schedules with academics, research, jobs, sports and extracurricular activities. By the end of each day, we trudge back to our rooms, crashing after our caffeine binges while annoyed with everyone and everything. Who has to bear the burden of our bitching? Usually this unfortunate responsibility falls on our boyfriends and girlfriends.

The stresses we endure on a daily basis -- waking up to your roommate's 7 a.m. alarm, pop quizzes and long hikes to Bloomberg -- negatively affect our relationships. If you're continuously overworked and aggravated, that energy will be passed on to your partner. When this issue goes unresolved, your relationship will quickly weaken under the weight of your burdens.

How can this problem be resolved? The most logical answer is to relax and take things easy. But let's be honest. Removing the element of stress from your Hopkins career is impossible: Professors won't stop scheduling Biochem and Orgo midterms back-to-back. We must accept the frustration of grueling academics.

There are other alternatives to whining as a method to relieve tension. When I need to alleviate stress I write in my journal, while others run 10 miles, wail on the guitar or masturbate. Though I do promote all these healthy activities, allow me to propose another option: Have angry sex.

You're probably wondering: "What exactly is angry sex?" Essentially, it's having ravenous, unbridled sex when you and your partner are frustrated and enraged. While it may seem ridiculous, it is also very logical. Anger and sexual desire are strong, overpowering forces. They are both forms of passion. You can choose to stay bitter and fume with anger, or you can release these emotions in an explosion of skin and sweat. If you're ready for forceful, suffocatingly hot sex, continue reading.

With angry sex, there is a direct correlation between the level of your frustration and the intensity of your hook-up. The angrier you are, the more animalistic your sex will be. You just failed your Heat Transfer exam -- that will provide you the energy to tear off your partner's shirt, ripping seams and popping off buttons. Are you missing your family vacation to Florida because of a history midterm? Take your frustration out on your partner's neck. Who cares if you leave a few marks? Instead of complaining about your eight-hour shift driving drunken freshmen in the escort van, go at it so long that you will collapse from the exhausting pleasure and need a day of recovery before the two of you get in the saddle again.
