Is there, according to you a link between sexual "frustration"/involuntary celibacy on the one hand and panic/anxiety on the other hand?

Don't believe everything you think.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
lmao...............i aint saying nothing!!!!!!!!!! i plead the 5th..........
DONT WORRY BE HAPPY
Personally I'm not frustrated and I still have anxiety issues so I don't think one has much to do with the other

I'd think it would all come down to who that person is.
If you are worrying about your sex life or are frustrated by the lack of sex in your life, then I'm sure this would have an overall effect on your levels of anxiety.
There is evidence that shows men have higher sex drives than women in 'general'. The physical need for sex is moreso in men than the emotional need in women. So taking this into account and that if a man is being told that they cannot have sex when they feel they need / want it could be a trigger for frustration.
Frustration like all emotions is normally controlled by our normal way of thinking. Add to that emotion our inbuilt levels of anxiety and the un-natural way people who have anxiety and panic issues deal with it.
For me personally I have had problems with sexual frustration and how it has made me more anxious. Thoughts such as, Why won't she make love to me? Does she not find me attractive anymore? All of these thoughts ended up giving me more anxiety, eventually I found it hard to even start to think of having a sex life.

great question.
Perhaps its more that anxsity can lead to lack of sex drive-although not always i assure you.

I was wondering why it took so long to respond
more sex = more serotonin
...and the relationships between serotonin/depression/anxiety are there for all to argue over.
make love not panic.
