Red wine and men's sexual health

In the wake of ever-rising cancer rates among the male population, especially surrounding the prostate gland, it has been shown through studies that reservatrol — the highly anti-oxidant and anti-cancerous compound found in red wine skins — helps alleviate the disease.

A study done at the University of Alabama Birmingham in 2007 found that mice given reservatrol powder saw an 87 percent decrease in cancer altogether, while in those mice with tumors, 47 percent had a slowing or stoppage of cancerous tumors. Because impotence is an inevitable effect of prostate cancer in males, red wine can be thought of as a savior of man’s sexuality.

Yup, I'm definitely having another glass of wine.

Women, wine and sex!

According to a study carried out by the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital in Florence, drinking one to two glasses of red wine a day increases female sexual desire.


The study investigated 789 Italian women aged between 18 and 50.


Drinking red wine not only helps to release inhibitions, but also has a direct effect on sexual activity

Women who drink one to two glasses of wine a day were found to be more sexually active than those who abstain.

I would say it's time to get my wife a glass of Cabernet.
