According to the immortal bard Billy S., alcohol provokes the desire, but takes away the performance. Any guy reading this knows precisely what Shakespeare\u2019s talking about \u2013 because we\u2019ve all been there. Imbibing too much booze truly amps up your sexual desires, but when the time comes to do the deed, your overindulgence can leave you a little\u2026 deflated, to put it one way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alcohol-related erectile dysfunction (as it is formally known) is quite common. So common in fact, that the term \u2018whiskey dick\u2019 is one that is known by all, drinkers and teetotalers alike. It happens after a few too many drinks, and can put a dampener on an evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Whiskey<\/p>\n

So how does \u2018whiskey dick\u2019 work?<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, more like how it <\/span>doesn\u2019t<\/span><\/i> work. As you likely know, alcohol is a depressant for your central nervous system. As you drink more and more, your reaction times slow down and it becomes more difficult to concentrate or focus. Your coordination will also become impaired, and all of these things together will most certainly have a negative impact on your sexual performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where alcohol and penises become an iffy combination is alcohol\u2019s effect of making your blood thinner, which in turn will affect the quality of your erection. Not only this, but imbibing booze will also increase your body\u2019s production of angiotensin, a hormone that has been linked to erectile dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just related to whiskey —<\/b> duh<\/i><\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yeah yeah, it might be called \u2018whiskey dick\u2019, but that doesn\u2019t mean that it only happens when you\u2019re drinking whiskey, obviously. A couple beers, a few shots of Fireball or whatever godawful thing you\u2019re pouring down your gullet can do the trick if you have enough of them. And no, there is no magic amount or clear measurement of how much booze will result in alcohol-related impotence. The very basic wisdom is that if you don\u2019t want booze to get in the way of your boner, just don\u2019t drink.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there such a thing as a \u2018whiskey vagina\u2019?<\/b><\/p>\n

There sure is. Just like there\u2019s a whiskey dick, there\u2019s a female equivalent, referred to as whiskey clit or, as mentioned, whiskey vagina. Even if booze is everyone\u2019s go-to social lubricant, it\u2019s not an ideal lubricant elsewhere. Just like with men, the thinning of the blood that occurs while inebriated also affects a woman\u2019s ability to become properly aroused enough to enjoy lovemaking\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no cure or solution for it.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Because of alcohol\u2019s sedative effects, people tend to reach for it as a social lubricant. This creates that vicious cycle of going on a date with a prospective partner, having a few drinks and then not being able to perform at the time you want to the most. Once a guy can\u2019t get it up due to having imbibed too much, that\u2019s it for the night. No amount of foreplay<\/a> is going to correct the situation — the booze needs to metabolize and pass through his system in order for his hard-on to make a proper comeback. Likewise, nix the erectile aids like Cialis or Viagra if you\u2019re thinking of a \u2018hack\u2019 to get around whiskey dick: it\u2019s unadvisable and could be detrimental to your health. Just sleep it off, champ. You\u2019ll get \u2018em next time.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
