does alcohol affect sex?
Yes, alcohol can affect sexual function. Although it can lower inhibitions and increase sociability, which can lead to sexual activity, alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that can also impair sexual function. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to decreased sexual desire, decreased sexual arousal, and decreased ability to achieve and maintain an erection in men. It can also lead to decreased sexual lubrication and difficulty with orgasm in women. Additionally, alcohol can lead to decreased coordination and impaired judgement, which can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy.
