Women who indulge in an occasional drink have a much more colorful sex life than ladies who avoid alcohol altogether. This is what Florentine scientists claim. They decided to investigate the relationship between wine and libido. Their study among Italian women suggests that a glass or two of wine at the end of the day can turn any woman into a “goddess in bed.” The researchers observed 800 women between the ages of 18 and 50 and analyzed the pleasure they and their partners felt during sex. Results are calculated based on a special index that is used by doctors to determine the sexual health of women, based on factors such as arousal, orgasm, pleasure and pain. It turns out that women who drink two glasses of wine a day score 27.3 points out of a possible 36 on the pleasure scale.

The study also found that older women enjoy sex more and are more adept at it.
