There’s never a bad time to have sex, but science says it’s especially fun to mess around in the morning. How come? This post explores more on the topic of morning sex.

For starters, you naturally build up testosterone overnight, which boosts your sexual instincts in the morning.

You also have higher levels of vasopressin, a hormone that helps give you feelings of emotional attachment and you may feel closer and more attached to your significant other in the morning.

One possible reason women are not as excited about morning sex could be due to the possibility that she may feel uncomfortable about her physical cleanliness after a night in bed.

After 8 hours of sleep, she hasn’t showered, her hair is a mess, she hasn’t brushed her teeth, or switched out of her pajamas yet. This can trigger stress that can prevent her from relaxing enough to enjoy sex.

If your partner hasn’t peed yet, the same muscles necessary to stop urinary flow are the muscles that control orgasm, she can have a very quick orgasm and maybe multiple ones too 

If you do convince her to have a quickie before coffee, follow these steps to satisfy her:

1.Spend time cuddling. 

Start the process slowly. Hold her and use close physical time before you make any overt sexual move. From there you can work up to touching her breasts or genitals, stroking her arms and hair, and really helping her relax.

This process releases the hormone oxytocin, which helps her feel connected to you. If she senses that you’re rushing her and she’s not in the mood, you’ve blown your shot.

2. Compliment her heavily keeping it realistic tell her how sexy she looks wearing nothing but a nightshirt.

These things will override her tendency to feel insecure in the morning.

3. Switch up your position.

If you’re both repulsed by morning breath, avoid positions that call for mouth-to-mouth, like missionary position.

Turn her around and try doggy, or spoon her to steer clear of any nasty stench. That way, she can enjoy the act and avoid holding her breath till the end of the act.
