in that priority order...apart from sex which can rise or fall in priority in coalition with certain independent factors

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

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.

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.)

If you do get PMd, could you forward it to me? Because that seems really intriguing (I'm not a nympho-[footnote]Not that I have anything against Nympho-s[/footnote], I'm just interested in the workings of human sexuality).

OT: Masturbation is ... not that great when I'm stressed, the stress throws off my focus and I end up not even paying attention. It basically becomes a waste of time.

For me, stress relief is either with negatively themed music (so I can put all my feelings into the music I'm listening to), positively themed music that is directly opposed to the source of my stress (so I focus on the good side of the topic, rather than the bad), games (puzzle/adventure for 'need a distraction' and guns/action-RPGs for 'need to vent'), chocolate (I Freaking Love Chocolate!), or just raging internally for a little bit (I basically shove all my stress into a burning frustration all at once (or as much as I feel I can handle) and basically let it burn itself out so that no-one has to suffer through my stress for the rest of the day/week/whatever).

Music often works. Really anything that I like to listen to for any reason can get my stress away.

Also, this place.

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

Either playing some Chopin, or just going out for a drive so I can think.

 

[zombiestrangler]

Time. Or VGs. Either way, I have this weird ability to stop giving a shit about anything.

 

[UrbanCohort]

I'm a simple guy, so venting physically is a good bet for me.

Get some 2x4s, go somewhere, and just hit something with them until they all break. Doesn't have to be a person, just the sheer act of small-time destruction should be enough.

 

[gostlyfantom]

cry
chew on things
masturbate
play with my pocket knife

I found that little tidbit of info while browsing wikipedia, so I don't trust it 100% but the site is usually trustworthy.

"stupid goddamn fucking lag can't snipe for shit in this fuck !!!" *pulls down pants*

I am laughing so hard, I am laughing so hard my dog from upstairs is now barking at the noise. oh jesus fucking christ can't stop laughing.

 

[WolfEdge]

I whistle and draw.

...And only now do I realize how pathetically fruity that first bit sounds...

Right there? You just get mad and go at it?

I thought most people let the stress build up during the day and "release themselves" all at once.

Everyone is different I suppose.

My son, unless he's too busy causing it.

Parents like you rock. And no I'm not being sarcastic. I'm serious. I wish my parents were like you, instead of getting high and bitching at me because they think I stole their shit.

OT: My stress relief aside from writing and talking with my best friend (which I try not to vent much because she's a human being not a walking ear and shoulder (though she's told me time and again not to worry about it and to let it out if needed)) would be...
Actually...that's pretty much it. Can't go outside lately with all the damn rain and wind, but if I could I'd add "Going for a walk and thinking about story ideas" as another way I relieve stress.

 

[tso0001]

A lot of Metal Music.

 

[MorphingDragon]

*******

Uhh, stress release I can actually talk about?

Being creative, with art or working on my game creation.

*******

Other people in this very thread already talked about it. No need to be shy now.

 

[Zhukov]

A shower, a snack and a snooze.

Shh, this must remain a well guarded secret!

 

[Snotnarok]

Art, metal, video games involving blood and stuff. Saints Row 1 and 2 as well as GTA 2-San Andreas I probably have well over 2 million kills...GTA3 I think I had 600k alone. No cheats either, just a few hours every day after high school because who was a nerd and had a good HS experience honestly?

 

[Sacman]

Usually masturbation or video games...

Playing my guitar usually doesn't help because when I'm in a bad mood I play some angry music and it just makes me want to break something...<.<
