The relationship between alcohol and sexual function is complex and not completely understood.
To evaluate (in the early follicular phase and independently from sexual stimulation) in young, eumenorrheic, healthy, lean women the genital vascular effects of the light and moderate use of alcohol.
Eighty-four women undertook, in the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle (days 3-5), the administration of the two-factor Italian McCoy Female Sexuality (MFSQ) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) questionnaires; ultrasonographic measurement of the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT); and color Doppler evaluation of the carotid, clitoral, and labia minora arteries. Hormonal (estradiol, androstenedione, and testosterone) and biochemical (lipids, glucose, and insulin) parameters were tested.
The MFSQ and BDI questionnaires; the carotid IMT; the Pulsatility Index of internal carotid, clitoral, and labia minora arteries; blood pressure measurement; and hormonal and biochemical assays.
The subjects were divided in: nondrinkers (group I); current (>1 year) light drinkers--1-10 drinks/month (group II); and current moderate drinkers--11-20 drinks/month (group III). The majority of the studied parameters did not vary among the different groups. The mean BDI was normal in the studied women. However, the lowest values were observed in the moderate drinkers group. The MFSQ did not show any difference among all the studied women. However, the number of intercourses/week and the incidence of vaginal orgasm were significantly higher in group III (moderate drinkers). The relationship between the drinking habits and different parameters showed an inverse relationship with the BDI. Furthermore, the BDI inversely correlated with orgasm frequency and with orgasm intensity.
Chronic slight/moderate alcohol consumption has no effects on genital vessels and vaginal lubrication. However, a moderate consumption of alcohol, through psychological and social disinhibiting effects, may favor sexual activities.
酒精与性功能之间的关系复杂，尚未完全阐明。
评估年轻、月经规律、健康、偏瘦的女性在卵泡早期（月经周期第 3-5 天），轻度和中度饮酒对生殖器血管的影响，且该影响独立于性刺激。
84 名女性在卵泡早期完成意大利 McCoy 女性性功能问卷（MFSQ）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）的双因素评估、颈动脉内膜中层厚度（IMT）的超声测量、以及颈动脉、阴蒂和小阴唇动脉的彩色多普勒评估。检测激素（雌二醇、雄烯二酮和睾酮）和生化（血脂、血糖和胰岛素）参数。
MFSQ 和 BDI 问卷、颈动脉 IMT、内颈动脉、阴蒂和小阴唇动脉搏动指数、血压测量、激素和生化检测。
研究对象分为：不饮酒者（I 组）；当前（>1 年）轻度饮酒者——1-10 杯/月（II 组）；当前中度饮酒者——11-20 杯/月（III 组）。大多数研究参数在不同组之间没有差异。研究女性的平均 BDI 正常。然而，最低值出现在中度饮酒者组。MFSQ 在所有研究女性中没有差异。然而，III 组（中度饮酒者）的性交频率/周和阴道性高潮的发生率显著更高。饮酒习惯与不同参数之间的关系与 BDI 呈负相关。此外，BDI 与性高潮频率和强度呈负相关。
慢性轻度/中度饮酒对生殖器血管和阴道润滑无影响。然而，适度饮酒可能通过心理和社会抑制作用促进性活动。
