Is alcohol actually harming your sex life?

Is alcohol sabotaging your sex life? So you probably think having a couple drinks helps you loosen up and have more fun in the bedroom, right? But here's the harsh reality. Alcohol actually is sabotaging your sex life. Here are four ways. One, it decreases physical sensation. So despite what you may think in the moment, alcohol actually makes sex feel worse, not better. So it makes it harder to get hard to feel feel pleasure and to reach orgasm. Two, it makes it difficult to be present in the moment. Let's be honest, great sex is all about great presence. But alcohol takes you out of the moment. Three, it increases the chances of unsafe situations from not getting proper consent to causing pain. Alcohol is unfortunately, often at play when sex goes wrong. And four, it leads to more shame. Like I said before, you probably think that alcohol makes you feel less inhibited, and that may be true even in the moment. But long term, it can actually lead to more shame. When you're sober and you're struggling to remember what you did or why you did it.
