You, Me and a Bottle of Gin

Summing up the courage to make that first leap into a sexual relationship is not easy, be it the first time ever or the first time with a new partner.

We have always had our good friend ‘dutch courage’ (a couple of drinks to loosen the mood and the nerves) to help smooth out those first time jitters… but what good is that courage doing us?
