Many men ask this question and wonder why drinking and staying up late can lead to a flaccid penis that looks so small. Then there is the “brewer’s downfall” when after too much alcohol a man can’t “stand up” so to speak.

It is a very common problem that worries millions of men around the world. Drinking alcohol can really affect the quality of your erection and make it more difficult to keep up with your sexual partner, even for a few days after a big drinking session.

Why does alcohol make sex so difficult?

When you have an erection, there are three chambers in the penis that fill with blood. It depends on the quality of blood flow to the penis which will determine whether you can get an erection in the first place and then how long you can maintain an erection or even if it is stiff enough for penetration.

If you drink too much alcohol, it can affect penile blood flow as your brain struggles to cope with sexual stimuli. There will be less blood flowing to the penis than normal and therefore you will have trouble achieving an erection. There are links between alcohol and erectile dysfunction as many medical studies have shown.

Medical Studies – Alcohol and Erectile Dysfunction

There have been numerous studies on erectile dysfunction and alcohol that have shown that alcohol abuse in men can cause poor testosterone production and testicular shrinkage (ie testicular atrophy). This can lead to impotence and infertility if drunk regularly and over a long period of time.

Also, when the body breaks down alcohol, it has been shown to interfere with the normal production and movement of sperm. Heavy drinkers may find that they have fewer long-term relationships, are less able to find and maintain sexual partners, and that their personal problems make them less attractive in the eyes of others.

Also when it comes to alcohol; Excessive alcohol use can make it difficult to communicate and develop a meaningful relationship with your partner, as alcohol prevents you from thinking clearly and being able to behave appropriately and thoughtfully.

In conclusion

Alcohol in moderation and in small amounts can improve your mood before a sexual encounter. For example, you came on a dinner date that will involve sex later. Only in large quantities can it affect the performance of a man’s penis.

The only advice I can give you is that if you think you may have a problem with alcohol and that it may be affecting your relationship or preventing you from forming a meaningful connection with someone, see your doctor to find a real, long-term solution. .
