Sounds amazing, right? We knew you'd agree!
So keep on reading, gorgeous. We're about to spill all the top reasons to get your morning sex on, the seriously sexy health benefits you can expect, and some super steamy morning sex tips straight from the experts right here (think: bouncing out of bed and onto some seriously sexy specialty furniture - yes, that's a thing now!).
Why Morning Sex is the Best Sex
Reason number one: it's morning sex! Is there a better way to kickstart your day? We didn't think so. But if you need a little more convincing, we've got you covered.
Your Body (and Brain) are Ready for Action
You might not feel like the sexiest version of yourself first thing in the morning (hello, bedhead!), but trust us, your body is totally ready to get down to business. Both testosterone and estrogen are at their peak in the a.m. - and those are the hormones that control your sex drive and pleasure.
So even if it takes a little bit to get in the mood, once you get started, your body will totally be on board. Thanks, science!
It's the Ultimate Mood-Booster
Getting it on in the morning isn't just good for your sex life, it's also amazing for your overall wellbeing. A little morning lovin' can help:
- Flood your body with feel-good endorphins and oxytocin
- Flush out stress hormones and leave you feeling relaxed and centered
- Give your immune system a nice little boost
- And so much more!
Need any more convincing? Okay, how about this: morning sex can also replace your morning gym session!
The Calorie Burn is No Joke
According to The Cut, you can torch a serious number of calories getting down in different positions, like:
- Missionary: 143 calories for guys, 44 for girls (bonus: it's also a great core workout!)
- Doggystyle: 151 calories for guys, 98-118 for girls (the faster you go, the more you'll burn!)
- Cowgirl: 0 calories for guys, 122-172 for girls (squatting on your partner's lap is the ultimate calorie-torcher - and it feels amazing too!)
So now that you have zero excuses not to get your morning sex on, let's talk about some of the surprising health benefits you can expect.
The Health Benefits of Morning Sex
Goodbye Stress, Hello Bliss
Remember how we were just talking about those peak morning hormone levels? Well, it turns out they're not just good for your sex drive - they're also amazing for your stress levels.
Getting down in the morning can help decrease those pesky stress hormones and leave you feeling relaxed, centered, and totally at peace. It's like a mini-vacation from the stresses of everyday life, and who doesn't need a little more of that?
A Boost for Your Immune System
A 2015 study found that sex can give your immune system a nice little boost, thanks to an increase in antibodies (aka immunoglobulins). And that means you'll be better equipped to fight off any pesky colds or flu bugs that come your way.
The Secret to Eternal Youth?
Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but the skin benefits of morning sex are very real. Getting down can help decrease inflammation (which is key to looking young and healthy), and one study even found that vigorous sex can make you look up to seven years younger!
The science isn't totally clear on why this is, but the experts all agree: sex is the ultimate anti-ager.
Ready to Get Your Morning Sex On?
We made it through the science-y part! Now, as a reward, we're going to share some of our favorite morning sex tips and tricks to help you make the most of your a.m. lovin'.
Don't Let Morning Breath Get You Down
Let's face it: morning breath is real, and it can be a total mood-kill. But don't let it stop you from getting your morning sex on! Here's what we recommend:
- Start with some sexy self-love. Take a few minutes to touch yourself, then pull your partner in close and get them in on the action. Mutual masturbation is one of our favorite ways to get things started, and it's a great way to build anticipation and get in the mood.
- Bonus tip: add in a couple's vibrator to really heat things up!
- If you're still worried about morning breath, why not switch things up and make morning sex all about oral? Not only is it a great way to avoid any potential breath issues, but it's also a surefire way to get your partner seriously turned on. And if you do want to sneak in a kiss, they'll be so caught up in the moment they won't even think twice about it.
- Bonus tip: try out some flavored lube to make things even more exciting!
Mix it Up
Trying new positions is always a good idea, but in the morning it's especially hot. Not only does it keep things fresh and exciting, but it's also a great way to avoid any morning breath issues.
We're big fans of spooning, 'X marks the spot', and of course, good old-fashioned doggystyle. But honestly, whatever position you choose, as long as you're having fun and feeling good, that's all that matters.
So there you have it, gorgeous! All the reasons you need to start your day off right, plus some super sexy tips to make your morning sex sessions truly unforgettable. Happy getting down!
