Many people resort to alcohol to loosen up and remove internal barriers to sex. The method has its advantages, but it is also not without pitfalls. Sex under alcohol has many side effects: lack of orgasm, decreased erection, STDs. So how does alcohol affect intimate life?
This is reported by the Dr. Evin website.
Drinking alcohol before sex has different reasons: - to increase self-confidence. - to overcome shyness in front of a partner. - to facilitate sexual intercourse.
Women may use alcohol to relax and create a pleasurable environment. However, alcohol can also lead to desensitization and reduced pleasure from sexual intercourse. Alcohol use increases subjective sexual desire, arousal, and pleasure in many women, although it decreases physiologic arousal. Despite the general belief that alcohol disinhibits female sexual behavior, alcohol leads to changes in sexual behavior only in a minority of women.
The possible positive effects mainly occur when it is consumed in moderation. And moderation is an individual matter.
Sex and alcohol should not be mixed for those who have a poor tolerance for alcohol. For example, due to genetic characteristics, as is the case with some ethnic groups.
Abstain from alcohol before sex for those who are overweight or have cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis. Sex as a physical activity stimulates blood circulation, which is not good for everyone.
Finally, it is forbidden to combine alcohol with certain medications. First of all, antidepressants, tranquilizers, etc.
It is also recommended to read the material entitled "A psychologist commented on perceptions about the secrets of female strength".
