Sober Sex is Scientifically Proven to be Better

Posted on February 05, 2025

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and Do'Mo is here to revolutionize the way we think about romance, connection, and yes—sex. Gone are the days when a cocktail was the ultimate icebreaker. The new trend? Sober sex and dry dating.

Do'Mo's alcohol-free Zero Proof Elixirs are making waves by proving that chemistry doesn't need cocktails. Whether you're looking to boost intimacy, confidence, or just enjoy the moment without the haze, our functional elixirs are packed with science-backed ingredients designed to keep you feeling good, clear-headed, and fully present.

The Rise of Sober Dating: No Booze, No Problem

Did you know that nearly two in three millennials and Gen Zers prefer alcohol-free dates? Yep, according to a recent DatingNews.com survey, 87% of young adults believe that sober dating leads to healthier relationships. And it makes total sense—when you remove alcohol from the equation, connections become more genuine, conversations deeper, and the next-day regrets? Nonexistent.

Sober dating is on the rise, and it’s gained so much traction that there’s now a dedicated app for it—LOOSID . Designed specifically for those embracing a sober lifestyle, LOOSID makes it easier than ever to connect with like-minded people seeking meaningful, alcohol-free connections.

"We’re seeing a massive shift in how people approach romance and health," says Do'Mo's Founder, Philip Gladman "People want to be present, feel safe, and still have fun—without compromising their clarity or intention."

Is Sex Better When You're Sober?

And here's the kicker: Science says sober sex is better sex. Alcohol might loosen you up, but it can also numb sensitivity and interfere with your body's natural responses. Leaving you pondering the question - Why can’t I orgasm? Well, an interesting article in the New York Times links alcohol with persistent problems with sexual response, desire and orgasm in women and erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation for men.

Instead of looking for the best natural viagra, cutting our alcohol could be the answer. Studies show that both men and women are more likely to achieve orgasm when they're not under the influence. Say hello to better connection, better communication, and way better intimacy, when sober.

In 2016, a study using data from 7443 discrete sexual events recorded over a 10 year period from a community of 1946 young adults revealed that “drinking on sexual occasions failed to deliver any benefit”. This research finally puts the myth that drinking alcohol improves the quality of a sex experience, firmly to bed. (1)
