A female reader, CindyCares Italy +, writes (5 November 2011):

CindyCares agony aunt Oh yes. There even is a proverb in my area, which says " The penis does not want worries ". Short and unsophisticated, but it means that constant problems and worries affect both sex drive and performance.

As for the age, well, at 20-23 it is unusual that they are so badly affected by work related stress, because at that age they in general are so testosterone fueled that nature has always the best on adverse circumstances.

But I guess that if it is really a LOT of stress , and he is really loaded with responsibilities and overwork, - and his sex drive has just decreased a bit not went totaly AWOL, what you say makes perfect sense.

How long will it last ? I guess until he finds a way to cope with his stress ( yoga ? physical exercise ? music ?... everybody has his own way ), or until he can change job /hours/responsibilities, or until hopefully he gets his groove in this demanding job and gets used to it.

Daniel the love doctor agony auntWell stress, being overworked/exhaustion, anxiety, etc., does play a role in a person's desire to be intimate- and his/her actual performance during intercourse. This is a normal physical reaction to a person of any age.

But it's not permanent. Less stress and a change in their work/rest schedule, may bring upon better changes when it comes to being intimate.
