Study: Half of Women Prefer Drunk Sex

Social lubrication or low self-esteem?

By Kristin Wong May 15, 2012 3:02PM

Fifty-five percent said they like to be tipsy while having sex, and 7 percent want to be downright wasted. Because making love is just so much fun when the room's spinning.

C-Date.com performed the study, surveying the alcohol-fueled sex habits of 5,670 men and women from 11 different countries. The results echoed a study from 2009, which found that 48 percent of women prefer sex under the influence.

Kathryn Lakeland led the latter study and argued that women's propensity to hit the bottle before bed indicates a lack of self-confidence. She told the Daily Mail:

"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. A large percentage will actually refuse to get between the sheets without a bit of Dutch courage."

She found that 6 percent of women have never had sex sober, and one in six admitted that they "didn't have the confidence" to sleep with someone unless they were drunk.

Depressing statistics, yes. But for the majority of women, isn't "drunk sex" more about relaxing? As one commenter put it:

"People drink when they watch football, too. I think people just like to drink during recreational activities. Isn't that the whole point of drinking?"

Meanwhile, the C-Date study found that 52 percent of men say they don't need any alcohol to get in the mood. In fact, most avoid it in order to prevent any embarrassing bedroom mishaps.

I believe it. Alcohol reduces their inhibitions so they do all the stuff they're usually too embarassed or afraid to do.

One hot chick get into a bar and order a shot of whiskey. Sip it down quickly, order one other and the same goes again. After she finishes the 3rd round, the bartender ask:

“Hey Sexy, Do I pour the next one for you?” to which she replies:

“ No thanks, I have found that more than 3 whiskeys is bad for my legs”, the bartender a little bit surprised reply to that:

“How is that? Do they swell? Do they hurt? Or what?, after a few seconds of silence, with a shy look she finally answer:

“None of that,  They split open”

I think it is sad that women cannot just be themselves and enjoy something that is healthy and makes you feel good!  I NEVER need a drink to enjoy wild sex and drinking actually inhibits my enjoyment!  Too many stigmas on women and sex and too many beautiful girls that need to feel more comfortable about themselves and not worry about what others think.   Just enjoy life for heavens sake because you only have one life to live!!!!
