Yes, moderate alcohol consumption –which is equal to two cups– can help you feel positive sensations and promote disinhibition. This can be perceived as a good thing; as these limits are surpassed, men feel more confident and free from their shyness and self-consciousness, which allows them to sexually pursue other people. Nevertheless, using alcohol to reach this point can often interfere with the capability of having sex. Alcohol can cause the interruption of the erection, as it decreases the proper functioning of the central nervous system, which subsequently decreases the excitement and sexual response to stimulation.
Further, excess alcohol consumption can lead to sexual disorders, producing temporary sexual dysfunction in some cases. This situation is particularly complicated because it represents a failure for men that could eventually lead them to develop anxiety, which can worsen the situation by creating a difficulty to effectively respond to sexual stimulation in the future.
As this problem gets worse, the person can develop a vicious circle that ends up with a permanent sexual impotence situation caused by the anxiety of the performance of his sexual organ. Many men end up wondering on a regular basis if they’re going to achieve a successful erection or not, or if this condition has to be treated by a specialist.
According to the data from the Boston Medical Group, 62% of the men who participated in the study between the last 4 years were alcohol consumers and presented erectile dysfunction issues. 50% of men under 50 can present issues in their erections after a session of heavy drinking.
Alcohol decreases the proper functioning of the central nervous system, which causes communication problems between stimuli, the functioning of the brain and the circulatory systems, making them slower, and harder for the blood to reach the penis, making the intercourse more difficult.
