Chianti and female sexuality
A study recently conducted by Dr. Nicola Mondaini at Santa Maria Annunziata Hospital in Florence showed that red wine has a beneficial effect on the sex life of women. The study included 789 women aged between 18 and 50 from the Chianti region in Tuscany (yes, the region after which wine is named). Women completed the questionnaire Female Sexual Function Index, which is focused on 6 aspects of sexuality. The questionnaire contains questions regarding frequency, desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm and pain in sexual intercourse as well as the level of satisfaction in the last four weeks.Women who drink one or two glasses of red wine a day showed better results in terms of arousal, satisfaction and pain.
Red wine is beneficial for men as well
A slightly older study conducted by Andrea Ledda at University of L`Aquila showed that red wine also has a beneficial effect on the sex life of men. In moderate amounts, i.e. up to three glasses a day, wine has a beneficial effect on the duration of erection and, above all, on the capability of achieving an erection in advanced old age. In addition, the andropause starts later in men who regularly drink wine in moderate amounts.
