Having sex after drinking is more dangerous than driving under the influence.

Ni Liangyu, director of the Department of Urology and Andrology at Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said, "A little wine won't hurt; it'll make the evening more exciting." This is a common response from husbands during social engagements when their wives call them home, and naturally, a tender and affectionate rendezvous follows once they arrive. The belief that alcohol enhances sexual desire seems to have become a magic weapon for many men seeking excitement.

However, just like driving, to ensure a safe and healthy sex life, one should not have sex after drinking alcohol. While moderate drinking can indeed enhance sexual performance, engaging in sexual activity while intoxicated can harm a man's body.

When intoxicated, the brain is not fully clear, and the sexual center is suppressed, which affects libido and prevents optimal erection. This can lead to two different mindsets: One type of person engages in sex solely for the sake of enjoying perfect sex, believing that alcohol and sexual stimulation can be perfectly combined, thus ignoring the fact that their physical condition is not optimal. Psychologically, they feel that alcohol enhances their sexual experience, but in reality, the quality of their sex life is very low. Over time, this may reduce the sensitivity of the sexual organs and lead to decreased sexual function. The other type of person tends to ignore the effects of alcohol on their sex life, persisting without considering their partner's feelings, thus harming the relationship between both parties.

In addition, because it was done under the influence of alcohol, the cooperation between the two parties was not as coordinated as usual, and the strength and range of motion were not well controlled, resulting in genital contusion.

It's clear that sex after drinking is more dangerous for men than driving under the influence. For both their own sake and their partner's, men should avoid sexual activity while intoxicated.
