Sexual performance is a touchy issue -- excuse the bad pun
-- and it could be even touchier when hooked up with how much men drink. Guys
who want to avoid taking erectile
dysfunction drugs, such as Cialis or the blue pill might want to back off
the alcohol. Drinking alcohol can cause lasting damage to men's sexual
performance even after abstaining from the booze, a 2017 study suggests.
Researchers said men can suffer "the droop" for
more than a year after giving up heavy drinking. Academics from Santo Tomas
University in Columbia and the University of Granada in Spain said their
results show that, overall, all dimensions (pleasure, arousal, desire and
orgasm) were moderately impaired. Pleasure and orgasm being the two most
significantly impaired. After even two weeks of abstinence, there was no
improvement.
The Journal of Sexual Medicine study noted: It does not seem
to be just a temporary problem because erectile ability was still affected
after a year, and according to the results, did not seem likely to improve by
just reducing drinking rather than quitting all together. This 2013 study
reverses long-standing myth that alcohol does not cause performance problems.
In fact, studies show that men with the disease of alcoholism have a 60 to 70
percent chance of suffering
from sexual problems. Alcohol users were found to have lower pleasure
scores, which only backs up years of speculation about alcohol and how it
changes male performance and overall reproductive health.
So the booze may make it easier to get a few digits at the
club, but the depressant can kill the fun later that night... and possibly
later in life if the drinking continues.
The researchers also found that heavy drinkers tended to
enjoy sex less, and less often, than those who don't drink anymore. Might have
something to do with how alcohol impacts other areas of relationships, too.
