Find out why too much alcohol can be a sex drive slower for
you 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 by
regular and prolonged drinking," she says.
"In men, alcohol can cause difficulties reaching an
erection - while women may experience reduced lubrication, find it harder to
have an orgasm, or 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 extinguisher
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 .
Drinking can also cause damage if you're planning to have children. Women who
drink over the government’s lower risk guidelines can take longer to become
pregnant and can suffer from menstrual and fertility problems.
Re-gain your spark
If you're serious about not letting alcohol get between
you and great sex, then it's best to try slowing down together. Start by
planning romantic nights that don't involve drinking alcohol at all, or make
sure that you keep the amount within risk guidelines.
Practical ways to cut back on drinking
Rather than criticising your partner's drinking habits, admit
that it could be a good idea for both of
you to cut down.
Some enthusiastic praise can help steer your partner
towards what makes you 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
you can see what you've consumed.
If you've got into the habit of drinking wine for dinner,
try switching to a non-alcoholic choice instead.
Put away the money you would have spent on alcohol. Then,
at the end of the month use it for something you can do together.
