ALCOHOL AND SEX

Alcohol is a colourless volatile flammable liquid which is the intoxicating constituent of wine, beer, spirits etc. This means that beers and wine in their own self are not alcohol but they contain alcohol.
So, what is the correlation between alcohol and sex?
There is an intimate relationship between sex and alcohol. Many people use alcohol to “loosen themselves up” in anticipation of having sex with a new partner, and it is a commonly held belief that alcohol is an aphrodisiac. i.e it stimulates sexual desire. Alcohol consumption has a number of effects on sexual intercourse and sexual behavior. The effects of alcohol are a balance between its suppressive effects on sexual physiology, which will decrease sexual activity, and its suppression of psychological inhibitions, which will increase the desire for sex.
Sexual effects of alcohol are complicated, and there are many serious negative sexual consequences of drinking too much and drinking too often.
Alcohol is a depressant. After consumption, alcohol causes the body’s systems to slow down. Often, feelings of drunkenness are associated with elation and happiness but other feelings of anger or depression can arise. Balance, judgment, and coordination are also negatively affected. One of the most significant side effects of alcohol is reduced inhibition. Reduced inhibitions can lead to an increase in sexual behavior.
What are the effects of alcohol on one’s sexual life?
1. Alcohol is a mind altering substance that makes you do things you won’t ordinarily do, with people you won’t ordinarily like to be seen with.
2. Chronic intake of alcohol makes one find it difficult to maintain a long term relationship, it causes depression and social isolation
3. Alcohol has a “dis - inhibiting” effect, which can make people “loosen up” and feel more comfortable initiating or engaging in sex.

5. At the same time, research shows that even after a few drinks sexual response is reduced.
6. In large amounts alcohol makes sex difficult to impossible. While in moderate amounts alcohol can have an impact on engaging in risky sexual behavior, although this impact is not fully understood.
