I've read (and experienced) that excessive alcohol use REDUCES libido.....if that's an answer to your question.

Not for me, it's really the same drunk or sober. I will however, lose inhibitions while drinking which has lead to some pretty adventurous & memorable experiences.

does being sober increase libido?

is that really true det? I have heard that it makes men produce more estrogen, which can cause dysfunctions.
it seems to affect women differently.
I think one or 2 drinks is ok for relaxation but being drunk can make things a little difficult and sloppy.

I don't think solberness increases labido in men, it certanly helps in the performance department though, assuming the comparison is to overindulging. Look out in the morning though girls. Hungover, labido in men is very high.:armsaround:

Libido

From what I've read around the bio-med traps is that booze over time decreases testosterone production, and so libido, in both men and women. In the short term, booze reduces inhibition, and so leads to more sex. Ultimately though, it's a real passion killer.

I have noticed that when I am drinking the dear wife seems to go right off it....
Strange creatures women.

does being sober increase libido?

i think being sober for a few days will get libido back in gear. I have found this out since I cut way down in September.
so if booze reduces testoterone in men, that could also reduce fertility. I believe it's the same for women.

Long Road has got it right on the head. Over time we lose !! AL screws up your nerve endings or shall I say the coating of the nerves and they don't work as well.

What the hell does that mean? And does that information help anyone here? If you're selling stuff, that is not welcome here.

This might help.
Alcohol affects people?s sex lives in many ways. We can divide its effects into ?bad? and ?good.?

Good effects of alcohol

Small amounts of alcohol oil the social wheels and reduce shyness ? thereby making it easier for people to meet up.

Similarly, a little wine or a cocktail will often make a person feel romantic ? or perhaps less ?uptight? about sex.

Also, a very small ?dose? of alcohol can extend the time which a nervous young man takes before he climaxes ? thus combating any slight tendency to come too soon or experience mild premature ejaculation (PE). However, alcohol is not a treatment for this condition.

Bad effects of alcohol

Unfortunately, the list of ?bad? effects of alcohol is much longer! Here they are:
Alcohol makes people far more likely to have unwise sex with the wrong person ? and therefore to get pregnant, to catch infections, and to embark on affairs that cause marriage break-ups. In fact, booze is the main reason why in 2005, there is a massive demand for the ?morning-after pill? on Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings.
Alcohol makes people fuddled, so that they don?t take proper contraceptive precautions.
Alcohol is bad for the unborn baby ? so it should only be taken very sparingly in pregnancy. During 2008, there have been conflicting reports about how safe it is for pregnant women. Some authorities feel that during pregnancy it should be avoided totally. At present we don?t know whether alcohol taken on the night of conception could be bad for the baby.
Alcohol is a major cause of impotence (erectile dysfunction). A lot of younger males don?t realise this, because they think that booze boosts ?horniness'. But as Shakespeare says in the Scottish play: ?It increases the desire, but it takes away the performance.?
A lot of men who are hooked on alcohol develop permanent ?Brewer?s droop? ? and often loss of interest in sex as well.
We do not yet know if excessive alcohol use can cause female sexual problems, but on the basis of probabilities it does seem likely that some cases of diminished libido are due to excessive alcohol consumption.Written by Dr David Delvin, GP and family planning specialist.









On a personal note my life was so focused on alcohol that anything & everything else didn't come into it, Thankfully that has all changed now
