1. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant.
Alcohol acts by inhibiting parts of the central nervous system important for sexual arousal and orgasm -- respiration, circulation and sensitivity of nerve endings.

2. Alcohol dehydrates the body.
This process is associated with erection (in men) and lubrication (in women).
Alcohol = Aphrodisiac?
Alcohol has the reputation of being an aphrodisiac. But is it really? Grandma was right -- the answer lies in moderation.

3. Fewer Erections- Large amounts of alcohol (or long-term) consumption has been associated with problems getting erections. Dehydration with drinking causes less blood volume and a rise in angiotensin, the hormone associated with erectile dysfunction.

4. Delayed Ejaculation
In 2004, a study found 11% of alcohol users were likely to have problems reaching orgasm. The men had difficulty ejaculating while the women needed much more stimulation to have an orgasm than women who had little or nothing to drink.

5. Vaginal Dryness- While alcohol may lubricate a social interaction, it does nothing to lubricate a woman's vagina. In fact, the dehydration common when drinking alcohol can contribute to fatigue, headaches and vaginal dryness (which can cause pain).

But is the news all bad?
6. Treatment for PE? ?Some researchers recommend alcohol as a treatment to control ejaculatory timing. While alcohol may be a temporary solution, there are more effective and permanent treatments for PE (see PE help).

7. Increased subjective pleasure in women. ?While tipsy women have more difficulty reaching orgasm physically, some women report feeling more pleasure subjectively. This can likely be explained by the relaxed social feelings they gain with their first few drinks.
