So while I was at work I became incredibly frustrated and pissed off at the world for various reason. I was unsure as to how I would reconcile my anger while I was driving home. Then when I got home the TV was being used...so no video games (aka no killing). So I went up to my room and sat down, I saw some sheet music on my keyboard that I hadn't gotten around to playing yet, so I just started playing. And surprisingly, I could almost literally feel the anger and stress being pulled out of me.

So I was just wondering fellow escapists, what's your best stress relief?

Religious music, violent videogames and incense. Preferably all at the same time. Games like Bayonetta, where I get to just wail on dudes and own massively, make me feel way better physically. The Ave Marias take care of soothing the soul. The incense lets the pleasant feeling transition from the gaming/music session to whatever I do afterwards.

Drive. Just get in my car and drive until I get literally entirely lost or the pain goes away.

Funny that you ask this now, I just got done reading about how bisexuals masturbate and fantasize about sex more often then hetero or homosexuals.

Hard to say anything else relives stress better than that.

Somewhere between a nice glass of wine, and a nice one or two bottles of wine. It's a continuum of stress relief.

I invite my friends to my house, whoever can show up, and we take turns seeing who can be the biggest asshole in Saints Row 2. Works like a charm.

Nothing beats sex of course, thought that was implied. :)

Music, definitely. While it doesn't quite remove the stress, it directs my emotional energy elsewhere, whether it's being soothed by TAM's violin or invigorated by Morrigan's orchestra.

Wow. I wasn't gonna say it, but... yeah, this. ^^;;

Edit: Also, I had no idea that bisexuals masturbated more than other people. Does that study of yours break the numbers down between bi men and bi women? I'm curious now.

Edit 2: Um, maybe you had better PM me with that. We shouldn't side track the thread into bisexual masturbation habits. ^^;;

I mean, unless people here want to hear about the masturbation habits of bisexual women?

(I'm just teasing. But seriously, PM me with that info, please.)

Well, Red Faction: Guerrilla is pretty much pure stress relief in video game form. Baring that, punching a pillow or ranting about the source of stress to myself (complete with liberal use of fictional swear words) also work wonders.

Well there are 3 levels of stress and each has its own methods.

level 1: Be by yourself. (take some time to be with your thoughts with no distractions)

level 2: Play a game, watch a movie, browse the web etc. (Occupy your mind)

level 3: Masturbation (pretty self explanatory. Also note that masturbation is better for stress than sex because you can get just what you want.)

Get into a hot bath (preferable with bubbles), light some scented candles, and play some death metal...

That's what I do...

I suggest picking up a little xbox arcade rhythm game called boom boom rocket and playing a song called "smooth operetta." If that doesnt work I like to play some casual horde mode on Gears 2 for some bloody mindless fun.
