Wine and sex

The world of wine to Sips
Text: Antonio Egido

We have dared to ask the search engine for the relationship of "wine and sex" and as on other occasions we have not been disappointed, but rather the opposite. This word union -now -has offered us 55,300,000 results, which we are going to take, as always, the first of the first page of the search engine.

In ‘miarevista.es’ we read that: “According to a study carried out by the universities of Torino and Florencia, the moderate consumption of red wine increases the sexual desire of women. This research analyzed the response of 798 women from Tuscan Occasional.

The details of the mechanism are unknown to encourage female sexual desire, but a good part of the explanation is that the wine has a powerful vasodilator effect, that is, it favors that blood reaches "key zones" as both male and female genitals, so it also favors masculine erection. The wine has flavonoids that seem to have a beneficial effect on the endothelial function that facilitates vasodilation in women, thus favoring more pleasant sexual relations.

In addition, wine produces an increase in estrogen, which increases sexual desire in women.

Therefore, taking a glass of wine before having sex could be a good way to get ready and facilitate excitement in the case of women and erection in the male case. Of course, always in moderation, otherwise what can be a "help" can turn the love encounter into a true fiasco ... ".

In ‘Menzig.es’ they tell us that: “The elegance of wine seduces by itself and sticks at any romantic time as if it were roses. When taking a couple of wine glasses, we will feel more and more to taste and open to the conquest after creating an environment of nonsense and trust.

According to several studies, this is because one of its components is quercetin, which is responsible for blocking the enzyme that eliminates testosterone, known as UGT2B17. Quercetin work causes a considerable increase in blood testosterone levels, and therefore, a higher than normal sexual impulse. In women, wine produces a double effect, also increasing its blood flow in erogenous zones (vasodilation) due to flavonoids. With wine in between, it will be very complicated that the desire to have sex leave our mind.

To the increase in libido we must also add the effects of ethanol that contains wine, as it stimulates the hypothalamus, the part of our brain where the most instinctive feelings are found and in which functions such as body temperature, appetite, hormone level or sexual desire are regulated. If there is a burning flame between the two, some drinks will end up provoking the fire.

Leaving its effects on our body apart, if for something it is the best drink for the more situations, say, close, it is because of its taste in our palate and its graduation, easier to control than distilled drinks. You may like it more or less, but if you end up giving him a chance like the one you gave to beer after your first and unpleasant drink, you will have achieved an ally that will move the first file on the board in this type of situations we comment.

However, studies (and Menzig) also point out that, before taking two or more glasses, which is the ideal amount to uncover its aphrodisiac power, the most important thing is to know ourselves and be aware of how alcohol affects us, because by drunk that special touch of wine is completely lost ”.

In ‘Bodegasmurilloviteri.com’ they also analyze this relationship indicating that although there are studies - that you will have read, dear reader - about this relationship of wine and sex: “Many criticisms can be done to these research on wine and sex: representativeness of the chosen sample, reliability and validity of the questionnaire, veracity of the answers, socio -economic level of the different subgroups, insufficient ecological validity, etc.

In other studies it seems to have shown that the moderate intake of wine produces an increase in estrogen- female sexual homes- and, therefore, the increase in sexual desire. Consequently, it would be an indirect effect between wine and sex.

Wine and sex: consumption and desire

Whatever is difficult to establish a relationship between moderate consumption of red wine and the increase in sexual desire since there are many intervening factors that are difficult to separate, for example, there are people who have the belief that drinking wine favors sex, consuming it or cannot also be the result of ideological positions that can influence, etc.

Another fundamental aspect to consider is to consider what a moderate consumption is. Doctors in general recommend three daily glasses for men and two for women. Moving from these amounts would result in uninable effects since the increase in the dose can cause a decrease in the level of consciousness, the depression of the nerve centers and the consequent problems when carrying out the response. ”

Just in case, the recommendation that I can bring you this week, is that at no time do you doubt love, but just in case, the wine that is subsequent celebration, always choosing a good quality wine.
