Alcohol consumption is prevalent in every part of the world, including UK. Over a period of time, research has proved that alcohol has both short-term and long-term impact on your sexual life.

Short term effects
It is a myth that alcohol can enhance a man’s sex drive and help in vigorous sexual activity. Studies indicate that alcohol consumption enables men to gain confidence and they feel more comfortable during sexual activity. However, this applies to moderate intake of alcohol and not heavy drinking.

Consumed in large amounts, alcohol can have a negative effect on your sexual desire or arousal. It leads to difficulty in achieving orgasm and aftereffects like nausea, dizziness, headache, fatigue and dehydration can occur. Another noteworthy effect of alcohol consumption is the decreased ability to make decisions. If you are not cautious while engaging in sexual activity, you may fall prey to STD or HIV infections.

Long term effects
Apart from intense damage in the short term, prolonged and uncontrolled alcohol consumption can have disastrous long term effects on your health and sexual life. As the nervous system gets eroded, men start experiencing decline in sexual desire and gradually, impotence.

Both short term and long term sexual problems arise due to the reduction in testosterone level. As a result, men feel reduced sex drive and face problems like erectile dysfunction. This condition afflicts men who drink too much and tend to become intoxicated. If you drink occasionally and in moderation, the testosterone levels get normalized after some time and do not deplete.

Despite the negative effects of alcohol consumption on sexual life, men can reclaim their previous state of sexual satisfaction by cutting down on their alcohol intake. Such control must be implemented in the short term to avoid chronic sexual dissatisfaction and major health problems like heart disease, diabetes, kidney and liver failure.
