Can drinking beer help sexual performance?

Everyone knows that whether they want to drink or not, many men like to drink before sex. It is because people believe that drinking alcohol can help with sexual intercourse and make the process of sex more enjoyable. At the same time, it can also help the body to be more energetic and achieve the desired effect. Many of these people engage in certain behaviors after drinking. So, let’s learn about the topic of whether drinking beer can enhance sexual performance.

Drinking in moderation can help

Drinking in moderation can reduce fatigue, make you feel relaxed and light-hearted, and can regulate and relieve your sexual behavior and sexual psychology (such as sexual anxiety, sexual tension, guilt, cowardice, and inferiority). As the saying goes, "Wine makes a man courageous." It will free people from some ideological constraints to a certain extent, allowing them to show more of their natural nature. Once a romantic environment appears, it can lead to sexual excitement. This is also one of the reasons why alcohol can help with sexual intercourse.

When the amount of alcohol reaches a certain level, the human body will be in a state of anesthesia, which can inhibit sexual excitement, but this inhibition has not yet reached the level of causing sexual dysfunction. Instead, it will prolong the male ejaculation latency period and play a role in improving the symptoms of premature ejaculation.

What is the principle behind drinking to help people have fun? This is mainly the result of the cerebral cortex being mildly paralyzed by alcohol, which relaxes the ability to control sexual behavior. To achieve this dazed state just right, you need to drink the right amount of alcohol.

Drinking a lot of alcohol can lead to bad consequences

According to Zhu Guoxin, chief physician of the Andrology Department of Zhengzhou Central Hospital, the effect of alcohol on the nervous system is to first excite and then inhibit. The effect of drinking on sexual function is related to the drinker's desire, occasion and alcohol intake. Some people may appear to be "sexually excited" after drinking, but when it comes to doing something real, they can't do it and may even fall into a deep sleep. Excessive drinking is like a drunk driver who is unable to step on the brakes accurately and in time, which will cause operating failure and destructive behavior. Shakespeare has a very apt description of this: "Alcohol may arouse people's desires, but it also often makes actions come to nothing."

Alcohol can also destroy the function of the testicles, damage the testicular cells that produce male hormones, reduce testosterone in the blood, and reduce a person's sexual desire. There are three manifestations of sexual dysfunction caused by excessive alcohol:

1. The erectile response will become worse, and stronger and longer sexual stimulation will be required to achieve an erection.

2. The recovery period for the first and second sexual acts is longer, that is, the time for re-erection after ejaculation is longer.

3. Loss of sexual desire.

Long-term alcohol abuse can lead to sexual dysfunction

According to clinical observations, among chronic alcoholics who have been addicted to alcohol for a long time, about 50% of men and about 25% of women suffer from sexual dysfunction. Among those who suffer from chronic alcohol poisoning due to long-term drinking, the sexual desire of male patients is lower than that of normal people. Among male alcoholics, about 40% suffer from impotence and 5% to 10% suffer from ejaculation disorders. In cases of liver damage caused by chronic alcoholism, up to 78% of male patients experience sexual dysfunction. There are four reasons:

1. Long-term alcohol stimulation reduces the sensitivity of the central nervous system, resulting in a decrease in sexual sensitivity, reduced sexual desire, difficulty in achieving an erection, and difficulty in ejaculating after an erection.

2. Alcohol can damage the function of the liver, causing the liver to metabolize and convert male hormones. Over time, this can cause a decrease in the level of androgen in the blood.

3. Damage to testicular tissue, which also leads to a decrease in androgen.

4. Directly damage the penile blood vessels and erectile tissue, reducing erectile function.

Premature ejaculation should not be treated with alcohol

A very appropriate metaphor is that sex life is like driving. If you want to be safe, never do it after drinking, especially men with premature ejaculation should be more careful. Alcohol is a strong irritant and a large amount of blood will accumulate in the internal organs. During intercourse at this time, the sexual organs cannot get the ideal blood supply, and men with premature ejaculation are more likely to develop ED.

After drinking, the amount of testosterone in the blood decreases. On the one hand, alcohol directly hinders the testicles from producing testosterone. On the other hand, under the stimulation of alcohol, the liver will accelerate the decomposition of testosterone. A decrease in testosterone or an increase in estrogen can cause more severe erectile dysfunction in men with premature ejaculation.

Does drinking beer help sexual performance? We all know that drinking in moderation can be helpful. However, excessive drinking not only has no effect on sexual performance, but is also extremely harmful to the human body. Therefore, whether it is to enhance sexual performance or to drink alcohol in small amounts during regular gatherings, it is a healthier approach.
