Correctly view "alcohol", long-term drinking can affect male sexual function

Drinking seems to be a sign of being male. There are few men who don't drink. Drinking occasionally can relieve work pressure and bring friends closer. There are even many men who like to drink before sex, believing that it can help improve sexual performance. Long-term drinking will affect men's sexual function, so they must pay attention.

The dangers of drinking alcohol

1. Decreased sexual function

Long-term excessive drinking can lead to decreased sexual function. According to research by foreign scholars, among chronic alcoholics, 65% suffer from testicular atrophy, 58% suffer from prostate atrophy, 17% to 38% suffer from impotence, and 34% to 65% suffer from decreased libido.

This is because alcohol damages the testicles that secrete male hormones, causing a significant decrease in male hormones in the body. Sexual function is regulated by the central nervous system. Dopamine stimulates sexual desire, but alcohol inhibits dopamine. Therefore, men will experience a decrease in sexual desire after drinking.

How to Drink Alcohol Healthy

In terms of alcohol consumption, everyone has different alcohol tolerance, so the amount of alcohol consumed varies. Generally speaking, men should not drink more than 900 ml of beer a day. The specific calculation can be made according to the formula: the amount of alcohol consumed (g) = the amount of alcohol consumed (ml) × the alcohol concentration (%) × 0.8.
