The sad news for all smokers: They have half as much sex
as non-smokers, and enjoy it far less!
And: Sex - drugs and alcohol just don't rock and roll, and certainly
alcohol and drugs do not make for good sex!! The effects of drugs on sex are invariably negative.
Safer Sex Be safe....for your health's sake, always practice safe sex, use
a condom in new relationships and whenever you are not absolutely certain of
your partners sexual history.
|
Alcohol |
The most common mind altering substance... other than caffeine!
After the first drink which may create a relaxed inviting
ambiance all further drinks cause problems, with both the skill of the lover
and their responsiveness which is reduced because of the alcohol!
Long term problems are severe with excessive alcohol intake
being one of the more important physical causes of impotence. (Brewers

Amphetamines
Cocaine
Hallucinogens
Opiates
Tobacco
(Nb: Marijuana increases desire but does not alter
responsiveness) |
If you want a good reason for not using these mainly illicit
drugs then note:
All of these reduce your sexual responsiveness!!
It is more difficult to be aroused and to have an orgasm!! It
is more difficult to be in touch with your partners experiences
Say yes to sex!! and No to drugs!! Should be the governments
anti-drugs campaign!! |

Anti depressants:
Our view of depression is that it is best treated as a
psychological problem. The underlying problems need addressing, as well as
the current symptoms.
|
Frequently cause a reduction in both the sex drive and
responsiveness.
If you want to enjoy good sex we recommend finding an
alternative to antidepressants. As usual don't come off medication without
medical support!!
As psychotherapists, we believe the best treatment for
depression is multi-faceted, and includes psychotherapy, physical activity
and when possible a good loving sex life!! this in itself helps to overcome
the depression, it is difficult to be depressed and at the same time to
have good sex and an orgasm! |

The contraceptive pill |
This is a difficult one!!
Two effects contradict each other.
Firstly the pill is very liberating, taking fear out of sex,
wonderful pleasurable and satisfying sex can then follow.
Secondly, for some women the pill reduces their sex drive
significantly so an alternative to the pill is recommended, as this negates
the freedom the have on the pill. |
