In recent years, alcohol consumption has increased significantly. The latest statistics are striking and show a great trend in increased alcohol consumption and the connection with the occurrence of certain diseases, as well as a deteriorated sex life. Experts in sexology and sexually transmitted diseases share their concerns precisely because of the increased sexuality in young people after consuming alcohol and the likelihood of taking more risky actions when the mind is not clear. They cite the result of a study conducted together with psychologists, which states that, after consuming alcohol, the mind through the visual apparatus perceives people in the environment as much more attractive, which predisposes much more to risky sexual contacts. The brain controls the main head of the endocrine apparatus in the body – the pituitary gland. It directs signals to produce sex hormones and volatile body substances that attract the opposite sex, which is an important factor in risky sex. In addition to all this endocrine stimulation, the clouded consciousness and the effect of alcohol as an “awakener” of the senses and the “dirty” subconscious are also important. 1. Regarding the positive effects of alcohol… Small amounts of alcohol provide a good basis for social contacts and reduce tension and anxiety. This is expressed in a certain lowering of the tension during contact between unknown men and women who have even a minimal sexual attraction. Alcohol in this situation helps for lighter conversation and even flirting, as well as for measured sentences and protection from an element of aggression and rejection. The link between good wine and a good night has also been proven. This is expressed in the good prerequisite for a nice and gentle flirting, the dosing of romantic notes in the meeting, as well as the easier continuity for commitment or practically one-night sex. The contribution of alcohol to the release of nervous tension in young men has also been proven, as well as lowering the hypersensitivity that occurs among them. It also affects hypersensitivity in couples who have a very strong attraction to each other but are worried about premature ejaculation because of the very strong attraction. Of course, a clear line must be drawn between this type of symptomatic premature ejaculation and diagnostic noxa. The disease premature ejaculation is not treated in any way with alcoholic concentrated drinks. 2. The negative influence of alcohol… Unfortunately, the list of unwanted and negative effects of alcoholic beverages is much more. Alcohol has been shown to predispose to casual sex and contact that can normally be avoided. Alcohol has also been shown to impair the sober judgment of an adequately thinking person. This, in turn, carries the risk of unwanted pregnancy, due to the possibility of disrupting ejaculation control in men. It can also be a prerequisite for the development of many sexually transmitted diseases,as well as problems in marriage and family relationships.

The connection is purely biochemical-physiological, in which an important hormone called vasopressin, which controls body hydration, is suppressed. This form of dehydration can be very bad for people with kidney failure or people who are on long-term therapy for chronic genitourinary infections. It is also important to note that alcohol consumption in parallel with antibiotic treatment, which often happens in winter due to common respiratory infections, can be very traumatic for the body, due to the activation of a special process – the disulfiram reaction. In which loss of consciousness, severe intoxications, impaired liver function, renal-diuretic function and many other disturbances, such as headache, nausea, profuse vomiting, occur after the occurrence of this reaction. Last but not least, alcohol has been linked to erectile dysfunction due to chronic stimulation of the pituitary gland, which signals the testicles to produce testosterone. The effect is similar in active sportsmen who use testosterone in an infectious form. The end result is a permanent blockage of testosterone production, the onset of sterility and a permanent loss of libido.
