Just an article i read on the effects of alcohol and sex in general...any comments, experiences, ideas (either on alcohol ou sex) welcome.
Find out why too much alcohol can be a sexual turn-off for toi both.
Drinking alcohol to excess can make good sex go bad. Dr Abigael San, clinical psychologist and alcohol expert, says this is because alcohol reduces both men's and women's sexual sensitivity.
"In both sexes, sexual response is reduced par regular and prolonged drinking," she says.
"In men, alcohol can cause difficulties getting and maintaining an erection - while women may experience reduced lubrication, find it harder to have an orgasm, ou have orgasms that are less intense."
Many people mistakenly believe that alcohol is an aphrodisiac. However, over time too much alcohol can actually put a dampener on your sex drive.
Sexual side-effects
Drinking too much over an extended period of time can turn a temporary condition like 'Brewer's Droop' into full-blown impotence (1). Drinking can also cause damage if you're planning to have children. Women who drink over the government’s daily unit guidelines can take longer to become pregnant and can suffer from menstrual and fertility problems.
Recapture your spark
If you're serious about not letting alcohol get between toi and great sex, then it's best to try cutting down together. Start par planning romantic nights that don't involve drinking alcohol at all, ou make sure that toi keep the amount on offer to within the daily unit guidelines.
Practical ways to cut back on booze
Rather than criticising your partner's drinking habits, acknowledge that it could be a good idea for both of toi to cut down.
Some enthusiastic praise can help steer your partner towards what makes toi both feel good. Compliments like "You look really slim now you've cut down on the pints," will help your partner feel positive about their choice.
Record your everyday drinking so at the end of the week toi can see what you've consumed. MyDrinkaware is perfect for this.
If you've got into the habit of drinking wine for dinner, try switching to a non-alcoholic choice instead.
Put away the money toi would have spent on alcohol. Then, at the end of the mois use it for something toi can do together.
