How alcohol affects vaginal moisture?

Vaginal muscles need good amount of oxygenated blood to get that natural lubrication and the secretion of that lubrication can make women feel aroused. Alcohol consumption dehydrates our body and inhibits the production of required amount of natural lubrication in a woman's body.

Even if a woman is able to get wet and sticky down under during foreplay, this moisture is most likely to be short lived compared to times without alcohol consumption. Vaginal dryness also leads to reduced sensations for women during sex. This can make sex an uncomfortable and painful experience and this also affects the ability to orgasm. Further, having sex with a dry vagina increases the chances of condom breakage due to excessive friction and resulting heat.
