Let’s be honest: mornings can be hard. It’s hardly seductive to be in a hurry to go, have alarms going off, and feel sleepy.
But what if you did something different and made mornings something to look forward to? Morning sex is not only nice, but it can also make you healthier, bring you closer together, and make the rest of the day better.
If you haven’t done it yet or need a reminder of why it’s worth it, here are ten reasons to do it tomorrow:
1. It makes you feel good all day long.
Sex in the morning releases dopamine and oxytocin, two hormones that make you feel good. Does sex make you feel good? It lingers with you and makes you feel better, lighter, and more connected. It’s like coffee for your feelings, but better.
2. You naturally want to have sex more in the morning.
In the early hours, your body is eager for sex because testosterone levels rise in both men and women. You already have a natural talent for enjoying things, so why not use it?
3. It’s the finest way to get up.
You don’t need to take cold baths or hit the snooze button over and over. A steamy morning workout is the finest way to wake up with enthusiasm and a goal. Not just your heart, but also your blood.
4. It makes your connection better.
Having sex first thing in the morning makes your relationship stronger. It reminds both of you that you chose each other every day, even when things become crazy. That emotional bond changes the way you communicate to and interact with each other all day.
5. It burns calories and makes you feel better than going to the gym.
Depending on how much you move, morning sex can burn 100 to 300 calories in one session. It’s like doing aerobics while moaning. You’re welcome.
6. You’re less stressed and more present
Your head isn’t full of emails, to-do lists, or stress yet this morning. That makes it easier to be there in both body and mind. Sex in the morning could feel slower, deeper, and more connected on an emotional level.
7. You’ll Shine—Literally.
Sex makes your blood flow faster, which makes your skin seem healthy. You’ll look and feel like sunlight when you leave, especially with the flush and relaxed muscles that come after climax.
8. It might help you sleep better at night.
Having sex in the morning might help keep your hormones and stress levels in line all day, which makes it easier to relax at night. It makes a place where energy is balanced instead of tired.
9. It can be sexy to break the routine.
Get up. Get in the shower. Coffee. Do it again. Having sex in the morning is the finest way to mix things up. If you change when you have sex, it might make your relationship more fun and stimulating.
10. It reminds you that there is more to life than work and deadlines.
Before you get to work and the stress of the day, morning sex reminds you of one simple, beautiful truth: pleasure is crucial. And being linked does too. And you do too.
