Sex Under the Influence

What Happens When You Are Under the Influence?

Alcohol abuse and using drugs can:

* Inhibit clear thinking and decision-making skills.
* Make talking and listening more difficult.
* Make it harder to assess potentially dangerous situations.
* Increase aggression.
* Decrease motor function so that it may be difficult to use a condom or another barrier method correctly.


Think Getting Drunk Is Sexy? Think Again…Too Much Alcohol Actually:

* Numbs the nerve endings in both male and female genitalia.
* Decreases female lubrication and can lead to painful sex.
* Affects the rational processes of the brain.
* Can increase one's expectations for the sexual experience, yet decrease desire, arousal and satisfaction.
