Boost your sexual prowess with this popular alcoholic drink!
For our wine-loving members, we suggest you savour this news with a glass of your favourite red.
It appears there's another benefit of your favourite tipple, which has to do with the bedroom.
As you may be aware, ample research focuses on the supposed health benefits of red wine. So it's a delight—not to mention a curiosity—to hear that your nightly swirl of Shiraz, Merlot, or Cabernet could benefit your love life.
Now, before you start popping bottles prematurely, let's take a more in-depth look at the research behind this nightly news.
The connection between sexual performance and the fermented grape potion was unveiled in a study recently published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
The research examined the potential link between a glass–or two–of red wine and improved performance between the sheets.
According to the study titled ‘Red Wine and Sexual Functioning in Men’, after reviewing studies spanning three decades, researchers found that moderate consumption of red wine could enhance sexual desire and performance in men.
It's all about the antioxidants, it seems. The researchers found that polyphenols—powerful antioxidants in red wine—improved heart and blood vessels' function, steering more blood toward the sex organs.
Furthermore, the researchers found some interesting news for the ladies as well. Moderate red wine drinkers scored higher for attributes like sexual desire compared to abstainers.
This boost seemed to be more distinctly noted amongst older women, who–during the study–tended to enjoy more alcohol.
‘Fascinatingly, women consuming moderate (one to two glasses a day) red wine showed higher … scores for sexual desire and [vaginal] lubrication with an overall improvement in sexual function compared to teetotaler women.’ the authors wrote.
Now, we all know the perils of over-indulgence, don't we? As with a ripe cheese board, balance is always essential.
Too much of the fermented grape juice could lead to harmful health effects. That includes sexual health as well—so it's worth keeping a keen eye on your standard pours.
Just what does 'drinking in moderation' mean? According to the current guidelines set by the National Health and Medical Research Council in Australia, healthy men and women should not exceed ten standard drinks per week and no more than four daily.
Remember that a standard red wine glass (150ml) contains 1.5 standard drinks.
What are your thoughts on the potential connection between moderate red wine consumption and improved sexual performance? Do you believe in the reported benefits of red wine on sexual desire and function in both men and women?
