A recent study suggests that millions of women drink alcohol before having sex because they lack confidence in their bodies. Almost half of the women questions said they preferred sex while they were under the influence of alcohol because it helped them to loosen up, have less inhibitions, and be more adventurous. The Herald Sun reports that of the 3000 women surveyed from ages 18-50 had slept with an average of 8 guys, but were durnk for at least 5 of them. 4 out of 10 said that they were under the influence when sleeping with a partner for the first time. The study went on to find that 75% of women liked to drink before sleeping with their husband or boyfriend, and 6% said they had never had sex sober. More then half claimed that drinking with their potential sexual partner was “part of the dating process”. Kathryn Lakeland of Femfresh, which conducted the study, said the results showed women lacked confidence. She went on to say, “The fact alcohol plays an integral role in their love lives shows that women are looking for a boost in self-esteem when it comes to their bedroom antics,” and ” in doing so many women will be losing self-control, and this is when drunken one-night stands are more likely to occur.”
