Research on the effects of stress on sexual/reproductive function is contradictory. The dominant hypothesis states that stress is detrimental to sexual and reproductive function. Chronic stress can potentially impair sexual function in females because pregnancy is very costly in terms of energy, and because young are less likely to survive in a stressful environment. Chronic stress has also been shown to impair fertility in males, but it is unclear if it affects their sexual behavior. Physiologically, the acute stress response is designed to activate the energy resources necessary for survival and to suppress all unnecessary functions, including sexual function. While the negative effects of stress on sexual function have been demonstrated in many studies, there have also been several studies conducted with both human and non-human animal samples showing that stress can also enhance sexual response.

关于压力对性/生殖功能影响的研究是矛盾的。占主导地位的假说认为，压力对性和生殖功能有害。慢性压力可能会损害女性的性功能，因为怀孕在能量方面非常昂贵，而且年轻人在压力环境中生存的可能性较小。慢性压力也被证明会损害男性的生育能力，但尚不清楚它是否会影响他们的性行为。在生理上，急性应激反应旨在激活生存所需的能量资源，并抑制所有不必要的功能，包括性功能。虽然压力对性功能的负面影响已在许多研究中得到证实，但也有一些对人类和非人类动物样本进行的研究表明，压力也可以增强性反应。
