How Does Alcohol Affect Erections?

We all know that sex starts in the brain and sedation of the brain using alcohol actually minimizes all sensations, good or bad; this then has a direct bearing on the erection itself. For any erection to sustain, the brain needs to be constantly stimulated through thought as well as through physical sensations. Excessive alcohol may work negatively to affect erections. Excessive consumption of alcohol may decrease the ability to get an erection.
 

Alcohol is a substance that depresses the central nervous system; alcohol only in small amounts works as a stimulant.

Excessive alcohol actually results in loss of self-control, reduction in brain activity and sluggish reaction time to situations. The endocrine system works like well-oiled machinery; it controls all hormonal activity as well as the activity of the ovaries and the testes. Alcohol may affect sexual functioning in a variety of ways. In reduced amounts, alcohol lowers inhibitions as well as makes a person feel sexier; but when consumed in larger quantities, it can decrease as well as impair sexual functioning.

Whilst, alcohol decreases the frequency of erections, it also decreases the maintenance of erections and penile size during erections; on the other hand, alcohol gravely increases the amount of time between erections. Prolonged use of alcohol in men can also cause shrinking of the sex glands and an increase in estrogen levels. This in turn also directly affects erections.

There are many ways to stay hard longer, and staying erect seems to be a big issue lately, especially amongst young men. I know this because I was one of those young men. I know exactly what you're going through, friend. Believe me. Erectile dysfunction plagued my existence, too. Three of my girlfriends left me because I couldn't perform sexually. The embarrassment, frustration, and humiliation? I've experienced it all.

I've done countless research on the matter and most of the information out there is complete garbage. Luckily, there are a few things that I've found which helped me out:
* Communicate: This is the most important thing you can do with your partner, especially if your problem is performance anxiety. This is one of your biggest tools in your arsenal as it instantly relieves a lot of tension and anxiety that you may be going through with your partner.
* Concentrate: Sometimes your head just isn't in the game. Try to focus all of your mental energy on how good everything feels. Next to that, focus on one of the sexiest things you can imagine at the time and that should help keep you stiff.
