The period of heightened arousal is particularly long. If alcohol is consumed in moderation, it can induce a state of hazy or early excitement.

It can make people feel relaxed, eliminate anxiety and guilt, and manifest as hyperactivity and talkativeness.

Emotionally, this stage can lead to sexual arousal. Excessive alcohol consumption can induce a state of heightened arousal.

Drowsiness and loss of sexual function. Therefore, excessive alcohol consumption can inhibit sexual function, clinically.

The experiment proved this point.

Excessive drinking will come at the heavy price of decreased sexual function and even impotence. As the ancients said, "Excess..."

The sayings "Drinking distracts the mind and depletes blood" and "Do not treat wine as a substitute for water, or enter the bedroom while drunk" are indeed warnings.

A word of caution. Remember Shakespeare's famous quote: "Wine stirs desire, but also spurs action."

"Vanished like a bubble." Many such phrases vividly depict the decline in sexual function induced by alcohol consumption.

Eager to drink cold drinks or take a cold shower to remove sweat is bad for your health.

During sexual intercourse, the blood vessels in the gastrointestinal tract are dilated, which affects the flow of blood in the gastrointestinal tract.

Before the mucous membranes have returned to normal due to congestion, consuming cold drinks can cause the gastrointestinal mucosa to be suddenly exposed to cold and become irritated.

This can cause certain damage, even leading to gastrointestinal discomfort or cramps. Similarly, after sexual intercourse...

During the process, the blood vessels in the skin all over the body also become congested and dilated, and the sweat glands and pores are all in an open state for sweating.

In this state, if you are exposed to a cool breeze or take a cold shower, the blood vessels in your skin will suddenly constrict.

This causes a large amount of blood to flow back to the heart, increasing the burden on the heart; it also causes sweat glands to excrete waste.

When the pores suddenly close, sweat accumulates in the sweat glands, which is detrimental to health.

If you feel thirsty, try drinking a small amount of warm water first. One hour after sexual intercourse...

After about 10 hours, once the blood circulation in all the body's systems and organs has returned to normal, then you can drink cold drinks.

It is advisable to take a cold shower.
