Can drinking alcohol really help you have sex?

Shakespeare once said: "Wine arouses desire, but it also makes action a bubble." In terms of sex life, the side effects of alcoholism and smoking on men are particularly obvious.

The higher the alcohol concentration in the body, the greater the impact on sexual function

American scientists once conducted a famous medical experiment: they first let male college students drink different doses of alcohol, and then let them watch pornographic films. The results showed that the higher the alcohol concentration in the body, the greater the impact on sexual function, and even if you are not drunk, your erection will be affected. Researchers point out that excessive drinking can have an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system and sexual nerves, hindering the transmission of sexual impulses, causing men to have difficulty in erection or causing premature ejaculation, leading to sexual intercourse failure. In addition, after drinking, the testosterone level in the blood will decrease, which will affect men's sexual function.

Smoking is closely related to the incidence of lung cancer, kidney cancer, and laryngeal cancer

However, the relationship between smoking and male sexual dysfunction and male infertility has been overlooked by many people. A study in Hong Kong found that the incidence of erectile dysfunction in men who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day is significantly increased. A Canadian study found that among male patients with sexual dysfunction, those who smoke or have smoked are twice as likely as non-smokers. This is because nicotine in tobacco can interfere with endocrine, inhibit the secretion of sex hormones, and reduce the level of testosterone in the blood. In addition, nicotine acts on blood vessels, causing hardening and spasm of the testicular arteries, leading to testicular atrophy, thereby affecting sexual function.

In addition to excessive intake of tobacco and alcohol, some bad habits can also cause men to lose their virility, such as excessive stress in life, psychological imbalance, and being surrounded by negative emotions. Therefore, if men want to maintain their virility, they should stay away from tobacco and alcohol, eat a balanced diet, and be optimistic and open-minded.
