Forget sex or family or friends. The best way to combat stress is to do strenuous exercise. Running or Aerobic exercise is the best. I practice Tae-Kwon-Do purely for fun listening to Vivek Oberoi's "Jaan mein Dum" song. If I stop in the middle I say to myself - "ruke ho kyon?" I am a male and to all my fellow males who are under stress, I have to say - bring out the aggression in you when you do your exercise. I am not asking you to hit someone. I am just asking you to exercise aggressively. Aggression is the characteristic of a male. Don't let your aggressive impulses die because of stress. Good luck fellows!

I dont agree that you need agression to combat stress. Combating stress varies from individual to individual based on what a person likes most and feels relaxed. To me yoga is best. To someone else it could be a dip in the pool, or watching a charlie chaplin movie.

I am not telling anyone to be aggressive towards other people. I am only telling to have an excellent outlet for your aggression in the form of exercise. If you exercise aggressively, your aggression will be spent on the exercise. If you suppress your aggressive impulses, they can backfire and even add to your stress. Any way, to each man his own way. If your way works for you, then who am I to suggest something else?
