It may be hard to overcome the myth that alcohol makes you want sex more but the truth is alcohol
decreases sex drive and performance in both men and women.
Studies show that a couple of drinks may cause arousal but that doesn’t equate to positive activity in the bedroom.
A significant amount of alcohol decreases sexual response in women.
It prevents or delays orgasms by affecting cognitive, physiological, and behavioral responses.
It also lessens blood flow in both women and men and that results in vaginal dryness as well as a tougher time in ejaculation.
It Delays Drive in Men
Too much alcohol or regular overconsumption of alcohol results in making it challenging for men to get hard and can cause erectile dysfunction and permanent damage.
It also depresses your nervous system and increases the hormone angiotensin which is connected to erectile dysfunction.
It can take men more than 30 minutes to ejaculate, if they can at all, according to studies by the Mayo clinic.
Several other physical problems result from overuse of alcohol including liver damage and loss of permanent cognitive function.
It Hurts Relationships
Alcohol abuse also causes relationship problems, can lead to domestic abuse, and puts a strain on the household.
All of that leads to less sex.
Other ideas about alcohol that push people to lean on it to flirt or speak to members of the opposite sex also cause more problems than they are worth.
Yes, people appear more attractive after drinking but that shouldn’t make it okay to have sex with them.
It Impairs Judgment
Drinking impairs judgment and that can cause a multitude of problems when it comes to dating, marriage, and relationships.
People who drink too much participate in risky behavior and that won’t help your sexual performance issues and, instead, causes more problems.
Those who want more and better sex would be better served to find other ways to release stress rather than alcohol.
That would improve your health as well as your relationships.
