“I am not sexually active with anyone else, so I might as well be active with myself when I feel the need to have sex.”
—Nicole, 19, SC
This guy I know says sex is better when he gets drunk first. Is that true?
This is one of the most common myths out there about alcohol and drugs. It applies to other substances, like Ecstasy and pot, too.
Alcohol and drugs do NOT make sex better--what's going on is that these drugs affect the way we're feeling. Alcohol can make us feel less uncomfortable in a social situation--which can be REALLY bad in a sexual situation.
The reason why people become less uncomfortable is because alcohol slows down their brains. Alcohol makes it harder to make a decision about whether you really want to do something sexual. It makes it really difficult to remember how to use a condom. And it can make you forget, so that after the fact you don't know whether you might've gotten someone pregnant the night before or been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Alcohol can actually keep guys from getting or keeping an erection, and lower girls' sex drives, too. So can pot and other drugs. Some drugs, including pot, can affect a person's ability to get pregnant or cause a pregnancy in the future.

I would know it happened to me. I was at a St.Pactrick's Day
party and there was quite a bit of alcohol and i ended up
meeting someone and having sex for the first time. The worst
part is i can't remember who it was, or what it was like. So
Please Don't Be Like Me!
I had it all planned on how it
would happen and needless to say this is not what i had
planned
True it might not hurt - but it's a REALLY bad idea!

Being drunk and having sex - especially for the first time -
can really suck! Think about it. Don't you want your first
time to be special? To feel good? To be something you don't
have to regret? Being drunk means that you might not feel
ANYTHING, which is not the point! And being drunk means that
you might not have the energy or the mindfulness to tell
your partner to use a condom, slow down or stop if you
change your mind. Besides, sex shouldn't hurt - even the
first time. Learn more!

Hey there, not all guys' bodies react the same way to
alcohol. For most guys, however, alcohol can make it more
difficult to get or maintain an erection or to ejaculate.
Some guys will still be able to ejaculate. Just in case you
heard getting drunk is "like birth control" - it isn't! Many
guys can still ejaculate whne they are drunk. Alcohol will
make it more difficult for them to use a condom properly or
know when their body is about to ejaculate. Good question!
Alcohol...ummmm about that

Don't get drunk for your first time. it's supposed to be
special and you will want to remember it, not have it be
some blur.
