Beer is a way of life for a lot of guys. It’s the perfect way to relax, loosen up, and…for some…it’s the best way to set the stage for what they hope will be a sexual liaison at some point in the evening. The relationship between hops, barley, yeast, water, and lady parts can be a complicated one…so it’s important to understand the good and bad of mixing beer and sex.
The Good
Obviously, a couple beers can have a nice effect on your state of mind. For some, that cranial relaxation makes them a better conversationalist, and, therefore, a better flirt. Being better at chatting a girl up and effective flirting boosts the chance of attraction converting into action. Dr. John Jaquish recommends not going over two beers on a date. That way you don’t end up overdoing it and spoiling your groove. Studies also show that a little alcohol can relax a guy and give him better erections.
The Bad
Hitting the beer to hard can have obvious effects on your physique, not the least of which is the ultra-flattering beer belly…and being out of shape can also have adverse effects on your nether region blood flow. Then, there’s the social aspects. Being flat-out drunk can kill a date faster than anything, so control is the key…especially if you’re on medications like anti-depressants. The moment you lose self-control is the moment when things will start going backwards on you.
In the end, knowing your beer number and sticking to it is the best way to keep your mojo flowing and the moment alive…and still be aware enough to enjoy it.
