See you on the inside. 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,840 Hello there, Modern Man. Ever wonder why does alcohol affect 10 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,920 your erection? Well, let's dive into it today and stay until the 11 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,310 end, and you will find out something that you didn't know 12 00:00:50,370 --> 00:00:54,000 that alcohol affects. So let's dive into it. I'm Dr Anne 13 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,870 Truong. I'm a medical doctor specialized in sexual medicine. 14 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,220 We know that alcohol kind of relaxes you. You take one drink, 15 00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:06,030 relaxes you. That's great. It may even make you be relaxed. 16 00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:09,180 That's probably why it helps you in the mood for sex and your 17 00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:13,920 libido. But do you know that there are short term effects of 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,300 alcohol that really affect your erection? Number one, you're 19 00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:21,570 going to notice that when you drink alcohol that is too much, 20 00:01:21,570 --> 00:01:24,270 you're going to get something called Whiskey Dick because 21 00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:29,910 alcohol lowers your blood pressure and it interferes with 22 00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:34,290 signal between the brain and the penis that's needed for 23 00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:38,310 erection. And sometimes it also dull your sensation, your 24 00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:42,990 sensitivity as well. Number two, it reduces your sensitivity, and 25 00:01:42,990 --> 00:01:47,250 therefore it kind of makes sexual activity less pleasurable 26 00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:51,030 or even effective, and that's what lead to number three, 27 00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:56,220 alcohol affect delay and inhibited orgasm, because 28 00:01:56,220 --> 00:02:00,600 drinking makes it harder to reach orgasm, and also can 29 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,130 affect delay ejaculation. Number four, the most important part is 30 00:02:05,130 --> 00:02:08,820 that alcohol creates a weaker erection. Even if you can 31 00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:13,950 achieve an erection, it may not be as firm due to impaired blood 32 00:02:13,950 --> 00:02:14,460 flow. 33 00:02:14,540 --> 00:02:18,980 Now, long term effects, meaning if you drink more than three 34 00:02:18,980 --> 00:02:23,810 drinks a day, been doing it for years. Long term is that you 35 00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:27,470 will have erectile dysfunction, meaning there are damage to the 36 00:02:27,470 --> 00:02:31,190 blood vessels and nerve which a condition called alcoholic 37 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:36,380 neuropathy, that lead to long term ED. And then alcohol, long 38 00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:40,310 term, can also lower your libido, because it reduces 39 00:02:40,310 --> 00:02:44,510 testosterone level and therefore decrease sexual desire. Number 40 00:02:44,510 --> 00:02:51,020 three, it also shrink your sexual organ. Yes, prolonged 41 00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:56,630 alcohol abuse can lead to testicle shrinkage and reduced 42 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:03,410 penis size due to lower hormone imbalances. Number four, chronic 43 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:09,440 alcohol use can make your testicle and your penis smaller 44 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,240 due to hormone imbalances. So that's something very, very 45 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,840 important, isn't it? You don't want your manhood to be smaller, 46 00:03:17,930 --> 00:03:22,190 but long term alcohol will affect that. You can also 47 00:03:22,220 --> 00:03:27,350 experience issues like premature ejaculation or even delay 48 00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:31,670 orgasm, along with ED as well too. 49 00:03:31,660 --> 00:03:36,430 Let's talk about how much is too much well, like I've always said 50 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:42,610 two drinks a day is probably good, and you can actually do 51 00:03:42,610 --> 00:03:46,150 okay. If you do two drinks a day, that's about 14 drinks a 52 00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:49,870 week. So two drinks a day may not affect your erectile 53 00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:55,840 function. However, three or more drinks a day, or 12 grams of 54 00:03:55,870 --> 00:04:01,330 ethanol, can significantly increase your risk of ED. So 55 00:04:01,330 --> 00:04:04,990 what is considered a typical standard drink? A standard drink 56 00:04:04,990 --> 00:04:08,410 is defined as 12 ounce of regular beer, which is 5% 57 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:16,330 alcohol, 5 ounce of wine which is 12% alcohol, and 1.5 ounce of 58 00:04:16,330 --> 00:04:22,060 distilled spirit which usually contains about 40% alcohol. And 59 00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:26,500 so that's one standard drink. So you're allowed two beers a day, 60 00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:33,070 or three ounces of spirit, or 10 ounces of wine a day. So I'm 61 00:04:33,070 --> 00:04:38,200 just kind of doubling the ounces in beer, wine, and spirit. So 62 00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:40,900 that's kind of like your allotment. You go more than 63 00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:45,280 that, you know you're going to experience whiskey dick. So I 64 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:49,570 wanted to kind of do a video, kind of explain to you how 65 00:04:49,570 --> 00:04:52,600 alcohol can affect your erection, and in the beginning, 66 00:04:52,630 --> 00:04:56,620 maybe the first one, help you relax, help you be more social. 67 00:04:56,620 --> 00:05:01,000 And then more than that is going to affect your performance that 68 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,470 night. So just be aware of it. And that alcohol can also affect 69 00:05:05,470 --> 00:05:10,480 the absorption of ED medication as well. It will make it even 70 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,740 less effective because it numbs the nerve and it also decreased 71 00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:16,900 the blood flow. You don't want that. If you want to get an 72 00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:20,230 erection, you gotta have increased blood flow. 73 00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:25,840 So there you go. You got some allowances for alcohol for the 74 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:29,470 night, and just know that imbibing too much will probably 75 00:05:29,470 --> 00:05:33,400 affect your performance as well.
