Probably shouldn't be permanent if the stress period is not too long.  
 Once you get away and recover you probably should be fine.

I dont have this issue ! 
  
 This was a general question.

Chronic stress Increases cortisol levels in the body to a higher baseline than normal. 
  
 Cortisol elevates blood sugar levels and constricts blood vessels in your private part. 
  
 + high cortisol levels in the body contribute to decreased testosterone levels which can result in decreased libido.

In simple words - 
 Stress leads to ur body focussing on fight and flight mode and resources are diverted away from reproduction. For a short term it's not an issue the sperm count temporarily drops and comes back up. But if the stress lasts for a longer period of time the body treats that as the new default and can lead to poorer reproductive health

Is it true that chronic stress can permanently affect our libidos? Is it true that we might feel disgusted about something or someone we were oncr pretty eager for? 

I mean , keeping the morning wood aside, I feel every other moment of arousal is dependent on a stimulus right? Then how exactly is it dependent on stress? Shouldnt it be the other way around? I mean stress should create more dependencies on sources of happiness

(Men only) Private Hormonal Question

(Men only) Private Hormonal Question- Grapevine

I have been a little caught up with numerous things in my life lately and have finally found some free time to open up myself to new experiences. 

I had a wishlist of shows and movies that I wanted to watch but as soon as I start watching them, I get bored and feel like turning it off. 

No, its not the content
No, its not the genre
No, its not the actors
No, its not the taste either

This is pretty ironic as considering the fact that I have spent a fair share of my youth chasing academics and career, my heart had always craved for life experiences. I had to let go of the woman I loved simply because I was too focussed on my JEE. I wont be able to forgive myself for that EVER. It almost felt like I had lost a limb, without which , I would be rendered disfunctional. Thats a separate story tho.

Nothing excites me (yep nothing)
Nothing amuses me 
Nothing feels lively

I have no clue where my life is headed

I understand that as we age, our triggers of happiness change. I have put concious efforts into knowing what those new triggers are. But I cant find any plausible sources of happiness.

I am performing pretty well with my career.
Even got a double digit hike.
But didnt feel that kick of joy.

Have I approached a dead end?

Losing Interest In New Things

Is it just me or someone else facing this?

Earlier I could go four rounds in one day, now its just so hard to get hard.

Is it the water or the traffic or the stress of moving.

Please share your thoughts?

I'll go first:
Dad's college friend asked why am I not married.
He didn't want the answer anyway

So he goes: You know if women don’t marry, they start developing genetic disorders. 
It is science; the body needs marriage. 

He had the audacity to say this loud, and when I retorted back, my mom was not happy coz I was being 'disrespectful'

Am I the asshole?

After a few months clear to me an employee was taking company for a ride. Average a few days a week in the office, otherwise sick/on errands, delivered no work. CTC 55L.

Before I could fire her, she announced she was taking Maternity leave a few months into the job. Well crap guess I need to pay her for 6 more months more because of laws I don't understand. Rip my bank account.

She returns, same issues. I put her on a pip & she resigned telling me I'm sexist and it will be hard to find a new job now. I say sorry, performance was bad, she can do pip and stay if things are better. She askes for 2 months salary and i agree.

A lawyer calls telling me I need to pay more or they will file a case. Said I discriminated to her, and it's not legal.

I think this person is a bully/psycho/self entitled. But am I the asshole?

Men and Women of GV, I have been reading how applying more cosmetics and using more and more products leads to worse hormonal and sexual health. Have any of you experienced this first hand or know more about this?

Has applying more cosmetics resulted in worse hormone/sexual/sleep health?

I don't know if this post would make sense, but does anyone ever wish they were less? Less competent, less "bright", less "smart"? I'm not being braggy but I am pretty smart (not book smart but smart smart) and while objectively I am doing pretty good, I just constantly feel like I'm not living up to my fullest potential!

Should I be on the lookout for a better job (the present one is fine) or preparing to study more or, I don't know, to scale and scale? It feels like everyone has such high expectations of me and I hate making mistakes, even if it is a typo in a document

The anxiety that I'll never live up to my potential becomes so crippling, it becomes counter productive and like Dr. Strange, I forseen like a 100 different possible outcomes of every decision because I can't seem to turn my brain off! Ignorance is bliss and I so wish I could be ignorant

Does anyone ever wish they were... Less?

This is coming from a guy
I know you dont get asked this question as most people assume that you have more options than men so its easier to make the switch.

But having options "may" not always make things easier. Every bond is different. 

And most mature women never go for temporary validations (rebounds, intoxications etc)

Would love to hear about the triggers that follow, and their respective coping mechanisms 

Open up ladies !!!

I remember when I got the offer letter from FAANG. It felt insane. Years of late nights, hard LC sessions, and hunting for referrals on LinkedIn. I was going to work for my dream company. Was the first time I moved to Bangalore as well.

Koramangala became my second home. Used to party like crazy and go out on dates.The first few months were just pure bliss. The work was challenging, the team was brilliant, and the perks were insane. It was fun going into projects, determined to prove myself. 

Weekends stopped mattering to me; my life revolves around deadlines, deployments, and meetings that stretched into the night. I saw most people chill oput but I wanted to be better than anyone else. and grind harder.

Now after months of this grind, I am burnt out af. I cant sleep at night properly anymore and honestly? i'm having a hard time in terms of my sexual illness with my ED. Went to a doctor in Indiranagar and she confirmed that it is pretty common in Bangalore. I don't know what to do but I am going to take out time to just care for my health now.
