Reducing alcohol intake will help improve your sex life

* My husband and I just did "Dry January", and after the second week the sex was amazing.

Now that we’re drinking again (he drinks way more than me), the sex has become lacklustre, even on the nights when he hasn’t drunk a drop. I feel that I was spoilt and I want to get that back.

>> Long-term, heavy drinking has a pretty terrible effect on male sexual function. It depresses libido, decreases arousal and diminishes the intensity of orgasm. It can also cause damage to the peripheral nerves which transmit signals between the body, the spinal cord and the brain. In men, this can affect the neurons that connect the penis to the brain and cause erectile dysfunction.
