Posted by John Dugan on Thursday, March 28, 2013, In : Men's Health 

On the surface of things, alcohol seems like a good idea when it comes to penis performance. Besides just the feel-good sensation of the buzz that comes after a few drinks, and seeing potential in partners that a man might not otherwise consider, guys who are feeling no pain might be up for doing all kinds of kinky things they might not ordinarily be willing to try. However, in spite of the sense of adventure and the reduced level of inhibition, alcohol can actually have a negative effect bo...
