The harmful effects of alcohol on sex.

Many people mistakenly believe that alcohol contributes to sexual arousal; in reality, it can inhibit erectile function.

According to Medical Daily, excessive alcohol consumption not only harms health but can also affect sexual relationships. Dr. Abigael San stated that regular and prolonged alcohol consumption reduces sexual sensitivity in both men and women.

"In men, alcohol can inhibit erectile function and have negative effects on the penis. In women, alcohol reduces lubrication, making it difficult to achieve orgasm or preventing orgasms at a high frequency," Dr. Abigael shared.
