It could be what you need at that moment to take away your worries.
We all hear that sex doesn't cover intimacy and cannot solve lingering problems between couples. While this is true, sex cannot be ruled out entirely as useless, infact it could be what you need at that moment to take away your worries.
Tess Barker of Women's Health Magazine lists MANY other times when sex could take away your worries:
When You Can't Fall Asleep: Who needs herbal tea when you have this holistic remedy for insomnia?
When You're Trying to Move Past a Fight: He said he was sorry. You forgave him, and you meant it, but a part of you still kind of wants to smack him. Spank him instead, and within minutes, you'll both be back to your disgustingly cuddly selves.
When Work Is Stressing You Out Like Crazy: You wish you could leave work at the office, but you have that big presentation tomorrow and you still need your boss to go over that report. Sounds like you need to schedule a meeting with your man so he can leave you breathless and thinking about anything but Melvin in accounting.
When You Didn't Get a Chance to Exercise That Day: There's no denying that exercise brings with it a myriad of mood-boosting benefits, but on some days, gym time just isn't in the cards. Not only does sex require both light cardio and flexibility, it leaves you with a glow that's at least as noticeable as the one you leave yoga with.
When You're Procrastinating: You said you were going to finally organize that wall in your closet today, and you will...as soon as you take care of this one pressing errand.
When One of You Is Leaving Town for a While: You're going to miss him, he's going to miss you, and you're both going to be lonely and in different cities for a stretch. Forget talking about it, and let your bodies give each other the send-off you both deserve.
When You're Bored: Boredom is a gateway emotion that can lead to all kinds of ill-advised decisions, from going on an online shopping spree to cutting your own bangs. Make a little nookie instead, and avoid these unsafe, non-sexual activities.
When You Need a Mid-Afternoon Pick-Me-Up: You hit book club brunch in the morning, and you've got that bridal shower later, and you're feeling so sleepy and sluggish that you have no idea how you'll power through. Instead of chugging one of those drinks that's full of caffeine and rocket fuel, recharge with some good old-fashioned oxytocin.
When You Get a Bad Haircut: You've cried. You've processed it. You've texted your sister. There's no undoing that abomination that is currently on your head, but sex can help you remember that your hair isn't the thing he finds hottest about you anyway.
When Dinner Reservations Are Late and You're Both Hungry: You've been waiting to try this new place forever, and you don't want to ruin your appetite. Still, a 10:30 pm reservation has you both so irritable that you'll be lucky to make it to valet parking before one of you bites the other's head off. Stave off the hanger by satisfying an appetite that has nothing to do with your stomach.
When You Just Impulse Bought Some Lingerie: You had one too many espresso shots in that latte and suddenly found yourself in Vicky's deciding that you needed a maribou teddy. Slip into it as soon as you get home, and it will become clear that you made the responsible decision.
When You're Staying at a Horrible Hotel: The sheets are stiff, the air is stuffy, and you don't even want to know what's going on under the bed. There's only one way to get your mind off of this horrifying room—and it's not by calling room service. (Just remember to use that "Do Not Disturb" sign.)
