Ways Morning Sex Makes Your Whole Day Better

Whether you’re a night owl or early bird, there are oodles of reasons sex is a great way to start the day. Maybe you like it for the energy jolt. Or the stress relief. Perhaps the just-left-the-spa glow?

Make morning sex a habit and it’ll quickly overtake coffee as the best part of waking up.

15 reasons to have sex tomorrow morning

Starting your day with a little action between the sheets is fun, but there are other ways it can benefit you in the bedroom and beyond.

1. Your bod is so ready

Did you know estrogen and testosterone levels peak in the morning. And science says the higher these hormones are, the hornier you feel. Strike while the iron is hot!

2. He’ll stay harder longer

Back to those hormones. Healthy testosterone levels could lead to better sexual performance and a stronger erection.

3. You’ll feel lovey-dovey for the rest of the day

Research shows that penile ejaculation releases oxytocin, aka the “cuddle hormone.” Morning sex could help you start your day with cuddly, warm feelings for your S.O. Ah, l’amour.

4. It melts stress

Bad dream? TMJ? Stress about the day ahead? Soothe ‘em all with morning sex.

5. You’ll get to drink in the views

If you’re into candlelit lovemaking, we’re not here to rain on your parade. But getting a good view of your partner’s body in the light of day can be a major turn on too.

6. You’ll have a better morning mood

Morning isn’t the happiest time for all of us. Since sex releases endorphins  the same magical hormones that relieve pain and trigger a runner’s high  a little action helps you start your day in a better mood.

7. It counts as a morning workout

A quickie might not replace a 5-mile run, but it’ll burn way more calories than hitting snooze.

Researchers say humping can burn up to five calories a minute. And a 2013 study suggested an average sex sesh burns about 85 calories in a 30 minute sexual encounter.

8. Save some 💰, save the 🌍

Shower sex, FTW! Taking your morning shower together cuts down on your utility bill, time, and water waste! Just make sure you’re stabilized with a rubber mat or against a wall or shower door before getting down. Things can get slippery in there!

9. It’ll boost your germ-fighting powers for the day ahead

Pop that multivitamin, but don’t forget there are more exciting ways to boost immunity. In one study, peeps who had sex regularly had higher levels of immunoglobulin A, which fights off infections and colds.

Other research suggests sex boosts women’s immunity by triggering their bodies’ defenses against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.

10. You’ll get a natural glow-up

You know that dewy, rosy glow that usually requires 10 minutes of carefully applied highlighter, bronzer, and blush? Getting hot and bothered makes blood rush to alllll the parts of your body, including your face. Sex, but make it skin care.

11. It’s an amazing addition to your skin care routine

Your a.m. sex glow is more than skin deep. Researchers in a 2000-era BBC News report said multiple “Os” each week can literally make you look younger than the peeps who get down less often. Double the pleasure, half the wrinkles? We’re here for it.

12. You’ll be a machine at the office

Feel like a zombie on your morning commute? Getting down before dawn could be the solution. You’ll get to work with a pep in your step and a brain that’s firing on all cylinders.

Research says getting to O-town unleashes a flood of neurotransmitters, which could give your brain a boost for the day. And a 2017 study found that when couples have a good roll in the hay, their good vibes stick around for hours afterward, even at work.

13. You won’t lose Zzz’s

Sometimes a cozy dinner with a glass of red gets you feeling sleepy instead of ready for takeoff. Morning sexcapades help wake you up rather than pushing your bedtime to the wee hours of the morning.

Getting a full night of sleep is also good for your sex life. A 2019 study of 3,944 people reported that bad sleep habits can be related to sex probs later in life.

14. There’s less pressure to perform

You haven’t had your coffee yet. You’re both still feeling sleepy. Slow, lazy sex = no-pressure sex. And who doesn’t want to just kick back and enjoy once in a while?

15. It helps you put off the inevitable

And by that we mean… getting out of bed. Morning sex means you get to enjoy your bed for just a little longer each day! On weekends, you can even cuddle up and snooze after getting freaky. Or how about Amazon Prime and sexy time until noon?

Cool, cool, so how do you make this a habit?

Making sex a routine might sound like the opposite of sexy, but we’ve got tips to keep it sizzling.
