5 Damn Good Reasons Why Morning Sex is The Best

It may seem unnatural (or only happens in movies where ladies wake up fresh and gorgeous, and guys turned on), but morning sex is actually more common than you think. Cosmopolitan even mentioned that about 34 percent of couples prefer morning sex above any other time to get their sexy on.

There must be a reason why right? Well, lemme tell you now that there is in fact a ton of reasons why morning sex is the best. And if you're worried about looking haggard or morning breath, you can find tips and tricks to still bone in the morning despite all the so-called "obstacles."

Before we jump into the reasons why morning sex is the best, let's talk about science. It's good to have a bit of a background on what goes on when one has sex. Then, we'll build upon that in relation to why it's even better to engage in sexy time in the morning.

Scientifically speaking, oxytocin, the "cuddle hormone", is released through sex. It is a chemical in the brain that controls love and intimacy between partners. This is the reason why, after sex, you feel closer and more connected to your partner.

Sex also releases hormones called endorphins which help you boost your mood by magically relieving pain, stress, and all the bad stuff. You feel relaxed, satisfied, and happy after climaxing? That's the endorphins at work.

Morning sex can strengthen your immune system, according to research, because it boosts your IgA (Immunoglobulin), an antibody blood protein that helps fight off sickness. Morning sex can literally keep you away from a doctor's appointment cause you're not getting sick easily!

You excited, yet? As if those health benefits weren't enough, here are five damn good reasons why morning sex is the best.

Say that again? "Morning sex makes a guy last longer?" The answer is yes. Let's hear it from sex therapist Arlene Goldman, Ph.D., who says, "When men have higher testosterone and are well-rested, they have more energy during sex. That energy will help them last longer." Therefore, ladies, if you're looking for more extended periods of pleasure for both you and your partner, have sex after you wake up.

The beauty with morning sex is that life hasn't happened yet. You have a fresh start to a beautiful day. You're not facing sex after going through an annoying boss, stressful work issue, long-winded meeting, kids complaining, flat tire, dog poop at the carpet, and the like, throughout your day. You're also not tired and would rather slip into pajamas and put that sleeping mask on when you reach the bedroom.

Without pressure, stress, or physical tiredness, you can approach sex in an innocent and fresh sort of way.

Need that boost of energy in case caffeine just isn't cutting it lately? Have morning sex. By reaching an orgasm, your body releases dopamine, which boosts your mood, makes you more productive and have a clearer head in making better decisions. You'll know what you want to get accomplished and have the energy to get them done. All of that from sex first thing in the morning? Yep.

This one is for the couples that juggle parenthood. Who said that having kids meant less sex? It's all about the timing. Sometimes all you need to do is set your alarm 10-20 minutes earlier from when the kids usually wake up, and you have yourself a kid-proof opportunity for sexy time.

They're fast asleep, and even if they do wake up, their attention and energy levels are way down even to comprehend what's happening. Say goodbye to kids knocking on the door curious at the bumping sounds or worse, doors bursting open because they want to snuggle with the parents before bed.

Remember that sex in the morning picks up your mood? You'll feel great afterward, and the morning rush of getting everyone dressed and ready for school won't stress you out as much anymore.

As we've mentioned earlier, sex and orgasms release oxytocin and endorphins, which basically make you feel happy, relaxed, and very intimate and satisfied with your partner. But it also releases other anti-inflammatory molecules. Add these three factors together, and experts have deduced that sex is your very own fountain of youth.

According to BBC News, older research has suggested that those who have sex at least three times a week look years younger compared to those who have less sex. Cosmopolitan also tagged orgasms as "nature's makeup."

Sex therapist Erica Evans-Weaver, Ph.D., says that when you get yourself some steamy sex, "Blood rushes to all parts of the body, including the face." This means that you get a natural glow that not even the most famous blush, bronzer, or highlighter could beat. There will just be something about you that exudes radiance. Now we understand how close friends would say towards another, "There's something about you...(eyes widen)…You got laid!" It's that obvious, and it's that amazing.

You might wonder how to squeeze in morning sex when you're woken up to reality by an alarm clock and are reminded that you need to get going. There's also the morning breath, frazzled hair, and overall morning look to consider. Still, here are some tips to make sex when it's bright and early happen.

If you're worried that morning sex could cut into your busy schedule, then perhaps you can set your alarm 10-20 minutes earlier (or even an hour, if needed) so you have ample time to get in the zone without thinking that you're running late.

Not everyone wakes up horny or in the mood to get frisky. Heck, we're too groggy even to do anything before that cup of coffee, how much more the workout one gets through sex? The key is foreplay. The thought of sex might be at the far end of your conscience, but it's not too difficult to turn yourself and your partner on.

Tease each other, stimulate one another, go for the kill, and go straight for their weak spots such as ears, nipples, neck, and whatnot. You'll soon be feeling turned on and ready to enjoy a little romp in bed.

Ok, here's some real talk, morning breath is not something beneficial when it comes to sex. But there's always a workaround for that. One, you can keep mints handy on the bedside table for that instant fresh breath or two, quickly jump out of bed and brush your teeth (maybe fix yourself up a bit too while you're at it.

Lastly, you can also opt for positions that don't require face-to-face action, such as doggy style. You can turn each other on, have foreplay and engage in beautiful morning sex without exposing each other to the issue on hand.

And there we have it, so many damn good reasons why we should get some juicy sex in the morning. Leave the romance, dim lights, sensual music, rose petals on the floor, and the works, for the evening. Morning sex is more of a need that yields numerous benefits for you, your family, and everyone else. Now, who wouldn't want a win-win situation for all parties involved?
