Most of us have our morning routine planned to the minute: waking up, have a shower to wash the body and wake our senses, have breakfast (that must include a strong, energising coffee), get ready to work and leave, usually in a rushing pace.

There’s nothing wrong with this routine, but we can make it less stressful and undoubtedly more pleasurable. How? Having morning sex!

You might think that if it’s hard enough to deal with your present routine, it will be harder to program the alarm earlier just to have sex. But the thing is that while having sex before sleep is marvellous and there’s no better feeling like falling asleep in your lover’s arms after sex, morning sex brings you exclusive benefits.

5 Benefits in having morning sex

1. You prioritise your relationship

Life can get very busy and stressful and that, obviously, will impact your relationship and your sex life.

How many times do you go to bed exhausted, in need of a silent, relaxing moment? Often, sex is neglected.

Waking up earlier to connect intimately with your partner it’s a way to rekindle the flame of your relationship and ensure that, no matter on how the day develops, you two had time to be with each other.

2. You start the day with a light workout

How many times did you plan a run or hit the gym in the early hours of the day? And how many times you actually did it?

Morning sex is a sexy, healthy way to give a push on your physical activity. Sex burns about five calories per minute and depending on the positions you engage, you can start the day working out several muscles.

3. You will feel relaxed and in a good mood

When you orgasm, your body releases the “feel-good” hormones, dopamine and oxytocin.

After climaxing, you will feel light, loaded with pleasurable sensations. Is there a better way to start the day?

But the great thing is that the sensation will linger in your body (and mind). This sense of relaxation will stay with you for hours.

Sex is a natural anti-depressant, so nothing better than start your day with a dose of this “medication”!

4. Your appearance will improve (yes, you’ll glow!)

No, it’s not a myth: your skin truly glows after having sex.

This study concluded that after-sex glow is real and it can last up to 48 hours.

The after-glow sex is explained by the increase of blood circulation that occurs during sex — that’s why we flush.

The extra blood that runs over our body, and specifically, into our face, carries oxygen. As a result, we will have a spike of collagen (beneficial for our skin) and estrogen (that enhances skin elasticity).

After sex, our skin will look fresher and it will glow!

5. You will be more productive

The “feeling-good” sensations that sex causes will be reflected not only on your mood or in the skin, but they will also positively affect your productivity.

This 2017 study concluded sex has a positive impact both in the employee’s productivity and in their sense of job satisfaction.

Despite the study doesn’t relate these benefits directly with morning sex (but with sex performed in the last 24 hours), it reveals important information: sex makes you more productive and professional happier!
