Lia Jiannine, Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 30 November 2020 A19
Background
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if the acute consumption of an energy drink affected sexual functioning in men and women.
Methods
Eight subjects received 6 cans (3 Bang® energy drink and 3 placebo) and were told consume either an energy drink or a placebo 60 minutes before sexual activity. Both consumers and their partners filled out an online questionnaire within 30 minutes of sexual activity assessing orgasm, satisfaction, duration, enjoyment and intensity, pleasure and perceived sexual attractiveness. An unequal variance t- test was performed.
Results
Based on this limited sample, Bang® energy drink appears to influence self-reported sexual enjoyment of male consumers (p = 0.046) and sexual satisfaction female consumers (p=0.031). Male partners reported significant higher levels of satisfaction (p =0.049) and enjoyment (p =0.044). Female partners reported significantly higher levels of intensity (p=0.035) and control (p =0.044)
Conclusions
Based on this limited sample, it is possible that a caffeine-containing energy drink might alter the perception of sexual satisfaction in both men and women.
