Alcohol 'improves a man's sexual performance in bed'

It's often said blokes who drink too much are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction.

But, researchers have claimed that alcohol can improve man's sexual performance, rather than curbing his prowess in bed.

A international team, led by Western Australia's Keogh Institute for Medical Research, has in fact based its findings on a study of 1,580 men, the 'Journal of Sexual Medicine' has reported in its latest edition.

The study found that drinkers suffer 30 per cent fewer problems in bed than teetotallers. And, what's interesting is that binge drinkers had lower rates of brewers' droop than men who never drink.

"We found that, compared to those who have never touched alcohol, many people do benefit from some drinking," lead researcher Kew-Kim Chew was quoted by the British media as saying.

However, the study found that those at greatest risk of poor performance in bed were heavy drinkers who had stopped drinking, those who smoke and sufferers of heart disease.

Chew added: "Although alcohol may increase sexual desire through disinhibition, the slang term 'brewer's droop' captures its reputation as a risk factor for decreased sexual performance.

"These findings suggest a favourable association between low-risk alcohol drinking and positive erectile function."

According to the results of a new behavioral study, conducted at the Indiana University (IU), men and women are very good at determining the interest a man has in a potential partner, but score extremely poor when it comes to judging the same intentions in a woman. In other words, women operate “covertly” when it comes to choosing their mates, whereas men make their interest widely-known, although they sometimes do this unconsciously. These conclusions were obtained following a speed dating type of experiment.
