Effect of alcohol on sexual health

Monday, February 9, 2009

Everyone knows too much consumption of alcohol affects your sexual health and well being. Alcohol and other drugs can affect your ability to have and enjoy sex. Alcohol intake gives place to erection weakening, loss of libido and serious sexual health problems. Some men with erectile dysfunction find that consuming alcohol helps them relax, but excessive drinking can make matters worse. Consuming alcohol for a long time can damage the liver, leading to a hormonal imbalance.

Alcohol stops guys from getting and maintaining erection and stop women from generating lubrication necessary for smooth sex. Drinking too much can also cause depression which in turn can result into loss of sexual desire. Alcohol lowers the sperm count in men and makes women difficult to get pregnant.

Drinking increases the risk of impotence by 50 percent for men in their 30s and 40s. This means a lot of men who would otherwise be absolutely healthy are now impotent just because they consumed alcohol a lot. The end is that drinking alcohol is not good for sexual health!
