hitsgarden.com - Alcohol is considered by many a sexual stimulant and aphrodisiac. Alcohol “loosens up” a bit, removing inhibitions and making the inter-personal contact a lot easier. Alcohol gives people more (sometimes significantly more) guts to do what they desire, also being less aware of consequences. Frequent bingers engaged in unplanned sexual activity in 41% of the cases compared to just 8% in occasional drinkers and they had unprotected sex in 22% of the cases compared to 4%, as revealed by American studies.

Now a team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis revealed a direct connection between clinical diagnosis of alcohol dependence in young adults and increased number of sex partners in its research published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.

“Some participants in the study reported 50 or 100 partners, and research shows — and common sense tells you that the more sex partners you have, the more likely you’ll encounter someone with an STD. Chances also increase for unintended pregnancies and other health complications.”, said first author Dr. Patricia Cavazos-Rehg, research instructor in the Department of Psychiatry.

Alcohol dependence was the main condition in increasing the number of sex partners. It is characterized by an excessive use of alcohol affecting physical and mental health; usually, the patients drink daily.
