Did IB kill your sex drive

This might be a crazy question but being so busy and stressed my first year had me feeling pretty lathargic, I just was dating a girl but it became a chore. Since I broke up with her and started seeing a new girl with who I click way better, and feel like I ramped up fully at work and connect with this girl more it back like never before. lol, this job really plays tricks on your mind. Sorry if TMI

This made me chuckle. +1 SB. You're right in most cases. Gotta have that dog to get it done

 

Playing around in excel and PPT 18 hours a day while being spoken down to by psychopaths isn’t an aphrodisiac. Not American Psycho typed, people who were losers their whole lives who now get to take it out on others. 

 

There’s this really hot girl in my friend group I’ve wanted to get with for years who just broke up with her boyfriend. 

Had gotten grinded really hard by one of my deals, and was at 85+ hours just Sunday to Friday. 


Feeling like death, I pulled up at 1 am on Saturday night straight from the office and somehow managed to score. However, the sleep deprivation had caught up with me and I was like a 90 year old dialysis patient in bed and it was quite frankly not my best work.
 

The next weekend, I was over at her place on a Friday night and she had her hot lesbian Latina friend over and they both got super cross faded and she hooked up with her not me (she’s bi apparently) and I slept on the couch. Got cucked harder than a bottom bucket analyst getting RIFd.
 

My life is a Greek tragedy and investment banking is turning me into an incel. As Buddha said, life is suffering. 

 

Yes, combination of sleep deprivation, hitting the gym less, and stress making it hard to focus has taken a toll on the sex life. My gf constantly complains about how I usually just want to go to bed at night and it’s actually a big point of contention in our relationship. When you’re choosing between sex and getting an extra hour of sleep after a week of 3ams it’s easy to choose the sleep. 
 

If you want to boost this would recommend hitting legs more and stretching often, has helped for me. Sitting at a desk 18 hours a day kills testosterone.
