Why You Need to Be Having Morning Sex
It's 7AM and your alarm goes off. Instead of rolling over to hit snooze or scroll on your phone, we have another idea to make you feel more awake. Setting aside some time in the morning to focus on a big 'O' can benefit your life in several ways. Here are just a few:
1. It Will Boost Your Mood
During sex, the body releases chemicals such as oxytocin (aka the 'Cuddle Hormone') that promotes positive feelings. If you need a morning pick-me-up, there is no other one like getting frisky. No matter what the rest of your day looks like, sex in the morning will boost your spirits, and get you ready to tackle whatever is ahead.
2. Sex Increases Productivity
Studies show that sex, particularly in the mornings, improves cognitive memory and many report starting their day this way also positively impacts their productivity. If you want to focus more at work or school, making time to have sex in the morning, might be a great way to achieve that. We think there's no harm in trying!
3. It Reduces Stress
4. Intimacy Strengthens Relationships
It's no secret that being in a safe, intimate setting with your partner makes you feel closer to them. However, many couples can get into a rut with their sexual routine, and switching things up may be the answer to this problem. Additionally, if you have kids in the house, morning sex is kid-proof. If they rely on you as their alarm system, work with yourself or your partner in taking up extra time in the morning to focus on each other before waking up the kiddos.
5. Sex Burns Calories
Starting your day off with exercise is correlated to a healthier lifestyle. By having sex in the morning, you'll be able to burn off some extra calories leaving you to feel healthy and more energized for the day ahead. If you want to try a few new positions to get your heart rate really racing, we suggest you pair it with your favorite bottle of lubricant to ensure maximum fun and pleasure.

7. It Won't Mess With Your Sleep Schedule
Sleep is integral to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Anything that can interfere with your rest, should be taken seriously. Because of this, pushing back your bedtime to have sex, while is common, does not have to be the only way to fulfill those desires. Instead, when it's time to sleep, focus on your rest so that you're ready to pounce in the morning. There's no need to sacrifice sleep for sex when you can have both.
8. You'll Be More Present
Before you get caught up in the chaos that is the outside world, starting your day focused on yourself or your partner might be most grounding. Without any other distractions, you will be able to be more present and fully enjoy catering to your partner, or yourself, strengthening your bond. Saving sex to the end of the day might make things more draining after you've already exhausted your energy and emotion. Avoid that by making sex a priority first thing.
