Question

Anu Bhardwaj · Accepted Answer

The question in the image is: Which of the following is not likely true about being drunk and engaging in sexual activity?

Here are the listed statements:

It can decrease the ability to communicate clearly about interests or desires.
It can increase or prolong sexual arousal.
It can decrease the rate of condom and contraception use.
It can increase the likelihood that a person will ignore or disregard their sexual partner's lack of verbal affirmative consent.

Correct Answer:

2. It can increase or prolong sexual arousal.

This statement is not likely true. Alcohol, especially in excess, tends to impair physiological and psychological sexual functioning, including reducing arousal, delaying orgasm, and decreasing sensitivity. While it may lower inhibitions, it does not typically enhance sexual arousal or performance.

Explanation:

Statements 1, 3, and 4 are all well-supported by research on the effects of alcohol and are likely true.
Statement 2 contradicts common effects of alcohol on the body and mind, making it the best choice for a "not likely true" answer.

Let me know if you'd like references or more details on alcohol's impact on consent and communication.
