That’s the thing about sex toys. When we’re staring at a cute stranger at the bar over a few cocktails, toys become exponentially more attractive to us. Alcohol has an incredible effect on lowering our inhibitions yes, that’s why we did that reckless table dance). How does it affect our actual ability to have sex toys?
Many women report feeling turned on after drinking, and this is no surprise. Now may be the time to turn on the lights and use a sex toy or whisper dirty words you were too embarrassed to say. Alcohol can help you get rid of body image issues and other things that have been preventing you from satisfying your sex toys. This works the same way for men: after a glass of Scotch, you are more likely to relax and lose your fear of “performing” in the bedroom. It acts as a muscle relaxant, which is very helpful for nervous men.
It’s a joke, but other people indeed seem more attractive when we’re tipsy. This means that the experience of sex toys can be enhanced by alcohol. We feel even more attracted to our partners when we kiss or touch them. After a few drinks, the limbic system (a set of structures in the brain that affect emotions) begins to be affected. This means that you will feel uplifted no matter what state you are in. Using sex toys with a loved one may make it more passionate and intimate. Or having sex toys with a stranger may make you feel more connected to them than usual (this is why many people say “I love you” to strangers when they are drunk).
The immediate effect of a binge is that it becomes very difficult for a man to get and/or maintain an erection. Because alcohol is a depressant, it prevents blood flow to the penis blood flow necessary for a healthy erection). This means that you may find yourself in a situation where your partner declares, “No, that has never happened before.” Alcohol is already known to hurt the vagina. Not only does it reduce sensation deep down, but it can also make it harder to reach orgasm. Achieving orgasm requires the active participation of the brain, and being intoxicated naturally means the brain is less willing to engage. Your ability to concentrate after orgasmic intoxication can be reduced, making it harder to get to the finish line.
