Is Alcohol the new lubricant? Reading up on some stats and I discovered that a whopping 70% of both males and females admitted to first time sexual encounters whilst being under the influence of alcohol. Those stats made me start thinking well could we be using alcohol as a new lubricant? I would say over 70% of my own "first" sexual encounters have been lubricated with alcohol, my excuse is that it settles the nerves, provides a little extra confidence and gives females a valid reason for the giggles. Alcohol produces a hormone called Dopamine, which gives us a sexual boost and helps to fuel our sex drives - Hell yes I can agree with that! We've all heard of the term "Beer Goggles" some may say "Beer Goggles can cause relationships" The term refers to how people often appear more attractive to you after you've had a few drinks. It could just be a convenient excuse used to explain a regrettable sexual experience or could it actually be a proven science? Scientists say that alcohol can affect our ability to judge facial attractiveness or is that yet another excuse for getting horny after a few drinks? While women may not suffer with erectile disfunction helped along with alcohol, we do suffer with far worse hangovers than men! So what's your take on alcohol being used as a lubricant and have you ever put that into practise? |
