A Dangerous Mix, Alcohol & Sex
Categories: Life & Entertainment
Sexual decision is a serious one. So, the decision to have sex when you are drunk, sure is one that is best made once you evidently understand all the sexual risks, and have estimated the sexual risk for both – you and your partner.
It is easier to declare that you will not ever drink when you are going to have sex, but unfortunately this is unreal, and you start to think that drinking small amounts of wine will not have a negative effect on your sexuality.
Often sex and alcohol can lead to increased risky sexual diseases, like STDs, or having sex that later you regret you had it.
Health research declared that there is a connection between alcohol use and having sex without contraceptives or condoms. They also suggested that the relationship is not so clear and factors like age of the partners and their relationship positions can affect condom use.
Evidently, the link between alcohol and risky sex is more complicated that one might pretend. But there are also some important things about alcohol and risky sexual act: For example, alcohol can affect people decisions and sensations. This is very important if they are going to have sex with a new partner, or trying new kind of sex with a current partner.
In many cases the effects of alcohol are not really physical, but are more psychological. These are named “waiting effects” because people hope to feel more relaxed and excitant when drinking. Please note that if you think so when you are drunk then you can reach this same sexual effect even without alcohol use.
There are long term negative results of alcohol on people sexuality and many short term effects if they drink too much. Even if these don’t raise the opportunities to have risky sex, they will lessen the sex pleasure, and can even prevent them from having sex at all.
This research speaks about alcohol effect in sex. However, when it comes to specific sexual situations, every person is unique. The sex depends on a lot of factors, but maybe the most important one is how informed you are of the risks.
So, understanding that factors like drinking alcohol can change and influence your decision of making sex, can convince you to not drink too much alcohol.
