Five major harms of excessive drinking to your sex life

When two people are in love, a glass of red wine can add to the romantic atmosphere and ease the tension of both parties about sex. However, the negative effects of drinking on sex far outweigh its positive effects, especially excessive drinking. Recently, the British "Love Partners" website listed the five major hazards of excessive drinking to sex life, marital relationships and even the birth of the next generation.

"Beer eyes" effect:

There is evidence that when alcohol levels are high, a person may find members of the opposite sex more attractive and therefore more likely to have sex. However, when you sober up, you will find that the other person's charm has greatly decreased and you will feel regretful about it.

Sexual dysfunction:

No matter how a man who drinks too much is teased and stimulated, he will not be able to get an erection or his erection will not be strong. As Shakespeare said, "Wine, which stirs up desire, takes away the spirit." At the same time, there is evidence that drinking too much can make it more difficult for women to orgasm, or reduce the pleasure they feel when they do.

Risky sexual behaviors:

Alcohol can cause people to engage in unwise sexual behavior: having sex with the wrong person or not using proper birth control. This can lead to unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and even extramarital affairs, leading to the breakdown of marriages.

Damage to sperm:

Recent studies have shown that there is a "dangerous correlation" between drinking alcohol in the past five days and sperm quality and reproductive hormone levels: the more alcohol you drink, the worse the sperm quality. Moreover, drinking alcohol can disrupt the balance of hormone levels and affect sperm quality.

Harmful to the unborn baby:

After a woman becomes pregnant, she usually counts on her fingers to estimate the exact day she conceived and thinks about whether she had drunk alcohol before. At present, there is no definite conclusion on whether drinking before pregnancy will affect the health of the fetus. However, once a woman becomes pregnant, she must stay away from alcohol because alcohol can easily enter the fetus's blood. Therefore, drinking by expectant mothers also means drinking by the fetus. Alcohol can stunt fetal brain development, and excessive drinking can cause birth defects.
