Does Alcohol Help You Last Longer In bed?
Today we’re talking about the age-old question: does alcohol help men last longer in bed? It’s a tricky topic that has been debated for centuries. While some may argue that alcohol sometimes helps premature ejaculation, others contend it just numbs physical sensations which can backfire during sexual encounters.
Let’s take a deeper look at how alcohol affects your performance between the sheets so you can make an informed decision before taking a sip next time.
How Does Alcohol Help You Last Longer In bed?
Alcohol is known to have an effect on our brains – especially when consumed excessively or over extended periods of time [1]. But interestingly enough, many people find consuming even small amounts of alcoholic beverages helpful in delaying climaxing prematurely. The reason behind this is that alcohol can help numb physical sensations, leading to delayed ejaculation.
So, what does that mean for the bump and grind? Well depending on how much you’re drinking (and your tolerance levels), consuming a bit of booze before hopping into bed could have its advantages.
That said, it’s essential to remember there are risks associated with using alcohol as a crutch during sex – particularly if over-consumed or done regularly.
How Alcohol Affects Men In Bed
Make sure to keep the following in mind:
- Moderation is key: Consuming too much will not only lower inhibitions but also lead to impaired judgment which isn’t ideal when trying to delay climaxing prematurely. Just one glass of wine or beer can usually do the trick for most people.
- Alcohol is a depressant: meaning it slows down your body’s systems, including nerve endings [2]. This helps reduce sensitivity in some areas (including penile nerves) while making you feel less anxious overall – which could help delay ejaculation if consumed responsibly!
Alcohol Can Delay Ejaculation But It’s Not Perfect
Know your limits: If consuming alcohol to lower premature ejaculation and extend the time spent between the sheets, be sure not to overdo it. Too much booze will lead to blurred judgment and potential health risks that should be avoided at all costs! And keep in mind, drinking regularly isn’t good either as tolerance levels build up quickly, making it less effective over time.
Women also experience the same effects: Believe it or not, women can benefit from consuming some alcohol prior to sex as well! Again – moderation is key here; however, drinking a bit of booze could help reduce sensitivity and make intercourse more enjoyable for everyone involved.
Alcohol Only Helps To A Point.
- Too much booze will lead to the poor judgment which isn’t ideal when trying to delay premature ejaculation during sexual encounters. Additionally, excessive drinking leads to a decrease in sperm count so if you’re looking into having children soon then keep this in mind before going overboard with libations.
- Over-consumption can even cause erectile dysfunction (ED) in some men. This is because alcohol impairs communication between the brain and penis – which can lead to difficulty achieving an erection [4] So if you’re looking into using alcohol as a crutch for extended sex sessions, it’s important not to go overboard – especially before trying out new things.
How beer can help you in the sheets:
Some people actually find that drinking beer helps with premature ejaculation during intercourse due to its lower alcohol content (typically 5% or less). The active ingredients found within this beverage have been known to reduce sensitivity while providing enough of an effect on nerve endings so they don’t become overly stimulated too quickly. That said, getting completely hammered isn’t a good idea – as most people know by now.
Beer can also help reduce stress and anxiety, two common causes of premature ejaculation. So if you’re feeling overwhelmed or nervous before hopping into bed with your partner, having just one beer (or even half!) could be the perfect way to relax – without going overboard.
Alcohol And Your Sex Drive
Alcohol is known for its ability to lower inhibitions which some might find helpful in terms of increasing sex drive during intercourse. That said, this isn’t always true as drinking too much may actually have a negative effect on libido levels due to increased fatigue and numbness caused by over-consumption! As such it’s important not to exceed moderate amounts when trying this approach.
Additionally, too much booze can lead to difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection due to impaired communication between the brain and penis. That said it’s important not go overboard with libations if you’re looking into using alcohol as a crutch for extended sex sessions – especially before trying out new things!
How Many Drinks Are Too Many?
There is no hard rule when it comes to how many drinks are considered “too many” during sex – but generally speaking anything over two should be avoided unless both parties are comfortable with higher levels of intoxication.
As always remember: moderation is key here and drinking excessively will likely have negative effects on your performance (and overall health!)
Key Takeaways
So alcohol can be helpful in delaying premature ejaculation during sex – as long as it is consumed responsibly. Moderation is key here; however, consuming a bit of booze before hopping into bed could have its advantages when trying to extend the time spent between the sheets.
That said, don’t forget that excessive drinking leads to poor judgment and potential health risks so be sure not to exceed moderate amounts when trying this approach.
