Now, I’ve joked in the past about the fact that sometimes it seems that sweetly reticent British people would never propagate their species without the able assistance of booze, but there is also something quite sad about this trend - speaking, I think, to the fact that it’s not just women who lack sexual confidence, but men as well. I don’t know why the study doesn’t also look at how frequently men are drunk when they have sex which somewhat undermines its usefulness, but I’d be willing to be that the answer is most. We’re so terrified of rejection that we get obliterated so that we can blame any negative outcomes on alcohol, but is rejection actually so much worse than an awful drunken sexual encounter? I don’t think so.
So what do I recommend? Well, perhaps a little bit less drunken sex would also equal less sex in general, but it would also equal fewer regrettable mornings when you find yourself sleeping next to someone whose name you cannot recall*, which the article also claims is a rather frequent outcome of these drunken liaisons.
(*This is not an experience that I’ve had, but I did once go on a date to the cinema with a chap who was so dull I forgot his name, and that was bad enough, so my heart goes out to anyone who’s been in that particular predicament.)
