Most people have always believed that drinking alcohol has certain enhancement and aphrodisiac effects on sexual excitement and sexual function. So, does this statement make sense? What kind of impact does a small amount of drinking, a large amount of drinking, and long-term drinking have on the sexual function and excitement of men and women? Let’s find out together next!

Moderate drinking can help sexual intercourse

According to a survey report, 68% of women and 45% of men believe that moderate (a small amount of) drinking can enhance sexual desire and enhance sexual pleasure. However, surveys and studies in recent years have shown that alcohol enhances sexual function in less than 35% of women, while about 55% of women suffer from reduced sexual function. There is such a big difference in the reaction of sexual desire and sexual function after drinking, which is related to different individuals' tolerance to alcohol (drinking amount), desire to drink, and social and psychological factors such as the situation and occasion when drinking.

If you drink too much, alcohol will suppress the central nervous system, interfere with the neural reflex pathways stimulated by sexual impulses, inhibit male penile erection, and inhibit female sexual arousal. Of course, if you're drunk there's no such thing as sex.

Long-term alcoholism can easily lead to sexual dysfunction

Regardless of whether men or women, if they drink alcohol for a long time, the level of male hormone (testosterone) secreted by the male testicles will decrease, and the ovarian function of women may be damaged, and endocrine disorders may also occur. Long-term heavy drinking (alcoholism) can eventually lead to sexual dysfunction in both men and women. Clinical observations from different regions and investigators show that among chronic alcoholics who have been addicted to alcohol for a long time, about 50% of men and 25% of women suffer from sexual dysfunction. After excluding the influence of other factors such as age, it was found that among those with chronic alcoholism caused by long-term addiction to alcohol, the sexual desire of male patients was lower than that of normal patients. About 40% of male alcoholics suffer from impotence, and about 5%-10% suffer from ejaculation disorders. Among people with chronic alcoholism and liver damage (from alcoholic hepatitis to cirrhosis), up to 78% of men suffer from sexual dysfunction. Moreover, only half of the cases of alcoholics whose sexual function returns to normal within months or years after quitting drinking.

There are great differences in the sexual behavior and sexual function performance of female chronic alcoholics. Some people's sexual desire seems to be intact, but a research report pointed out that among female chronic alcoholics, 30%-40% There is difficulty in sexual arousal, and about 15% show loss of orgasm, or a reduction in the number or intensity of orgasm. Additionally, it has been observed that female chronic alcoholics are more likely to age and may experience premature menopause. In addition, social and psychological problems caused by long-term alcohol abuse, such as marital discord, lack of self-confidence, depression, etc., are undoubtedly one of the causes of sexual dysfunction. From the perspective of eugenics and eugenics, regular drinking without taking contraceptive measures will undoubtedly have a huge impact on fetal development after pregnancy. So experts suggest: moderation is best.

Don’t do these three things before having sex

Alcohol

I don’t know if it really comes from ancient customs, or if it’s a director’s romantic fiction. In short, alcohol has become a commonly used erotic stimulant in movies. Shakespeare was the first to point out that "wine stimulates passion, but makes action in vain." It is true that alcohol appears to help one's nature, but in fact it destroys one's nature. Traditional Chinese medicine has believed since ancient times that having sex after drinking consumes qi and damages essence. Although the excitability of the brain nervous system is temporarily enhanced after drinking alcohol, sexual function is temporarily reduced. Women may have ovarian dysfunction, affecting normal ovulation; men may have difficulty erecting or shortening their duration. Drunk sex will also increase testicular binding globulin in men, damage the testicles, and weaken their ability to produce testosterone (sex hormone). In addition, 70% of sperm after drinking may be underdeveloped. If pregnancy occurs under this condition, 26% of the fetus will Developing health problems, especially intellectual disabilities

Tip: Whether you choose imported champagne, strong liquor, popular draft beer, or wine that has always been labeled with a health label, abstain from sex for 2 hours after drinking.

Hot bath

There is nothing wrong with being clean, hygienic, and taking a shower before having sex, but many people regard the two-person bathing that lasts for tens of minutes as a prelude to sex. In fact, hot water bathing for more than 5 minutes consumes a lot of physical energy, and sex requires sufficient physical energy reserves. In this case, the duration of sex is often shortened. At the same time, the human body gradually relaxes under the action of hot water, and the whole body enters a resting state. It is difficult for various organs to be excited quickly. Intense sex will cause rapid congestion and damage to sexual organs, and rapid stretching can easily damage muscle fibers. The most important thing is that a long hot bath will reduce the sensitivity of the human body, especially the sensitivity of the female sexual organs. At this time, it will be even more difficult to reach orgasm.

Tips: If you do body cleaning before sex, please limit the time to less than 5 minutes; if you want to enjoy a romantic double bath, please move the lingering time to after sex.

Movie

If you trace back to the roots, one of the reasons why erotic movies appeared is to increase the sex hormone content in the body by a few percentage points before sex. But the latest research has found that increasingly fragrant visual stimulation makes the human nervous system extremely excited. When making love under such high stimulation, the brain is often in a state of hypoxia. Although temporary brain hypoxia can add fantastic sexual pleasure to some people, over time, when brain hypoxia exceeds physiological limits, people will feel dizzy and collapsed. Do not regard these symptoms as symptoms of intense sex. Normally, they are actually manifestations of out-of-control autonomic nerves in the human body. In the long run, heart and brain functions will be damaged.

Tips: You might as well use more "natural" stimulations such as touching and kissing to stimulate lust, and of course your loving words.

Alcohol has a stimulating effect on the brain and is also very harmful to the human body. Friends who want to drink alcohol to help their "sex", be careful of causing sexual dysfunction!
