What’s actually the best part of waking up? Maybe your day doesn’t start without your morning latte. But what if there was something foamy and creamy that didn’t cost $8? The best part is that it (probably) doesn’t involve someone calling out the wrong name.

We’re talking about morning sex. And just like any other kind of sex, the benefits of doing it at daybreak extend far beyond the bedroom. It can lead to reduced stress levels, increased productivity, and even improved physical health — provided you’re not a pillow prince.

Let’s discuss early-morning intimacy and why getting fertilized before you have your eggs could be just what your relationship needs.

The many benefits of morning sex

So, what makes sex in the morning so good? Well, sex is generally pretty darn good for your physical and mental health. But it turns out there are a lot of time-specific benefits to choppin’ and sloppin’ that morning wood.

Alleviates stress

Morning sex can be a natural stress reliever. The release of endorphins and oxytocin (aka the “feel-good hormone” or “cuddle hormone”) during sexual activity can help reduce anxiety. And what better way to start the day than with a spring in your step and a curious stain on your socks?  

Increases productivity

The emotional connection and satisfaction you get from morning sex can enhance focus and motivation in your daily tasks. So yes, there’s merit to having an orgasm before you organize your pantry or getting frisky before you finish that project. 

Counts toward your daily workout quota

Listen up, all you lazy yet horny divas: Getting dick at dawn can be a substitute for that dusty Tae Bo DVD you keep meaning to fire up. Sex is a fun way to get your heart rate up and burn some calories while improving your cardiovascular health. That means you can build even more endurance for even more sex — a steamy success story if we’ve ever heard one.

How you can make morning sex a reality

Maybe morning sex isn’t part of your everyday sex life. You’re probably envisioning potential obstacles. What about morning breath? What if I don’t like to cuddle in the morning? Or what if my morning wood is more like a soggy twig than a tree trunk erection?

Don’t worry; with enough lube and a can-do attitude, you, too, can get into a sexy morning mood. Here’s how:

1. Make an agreement with your partner

Tell your partner you want to prioritize penis parties right when you wake up. Discuss your desires and goals openly. Does morning sex have to involve climax or orgasm? What do you do when you feel too stressed for a rousing romp? Make a commitment to each other that’s reasonable and enjoyable for both parties.

2. Organize your time so you aren’t stressed

Part of your mutual agreement should be to set aside enough time to get freaky-deaky without stressing your morning routines. A quickie can be fun, but you should set your alarm to ensure ample time to get in the mood and out the door.

3. Be prepared

Everyone’s a widdle sweepy in the morning. Account for that by preparing all the sex stuff the night before. Anything you might use during sex, such as toys or lube, should be well within reach.

4. Get enough sleep

You won’t be in the mood for morning antics if you haven’t gotten enough shut-eye. Ensure you get adequate rest by going to bed earlier so you can wake up for the big event bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

5. Add spontaneity into your sex (as best you can)

Part of the reason morning sex is so hot and steamy is that it capitalizes on spontaneity. Still, we known our target demographic here on Grindr, so consider cleaning more than your teeth before bed. In the immortal words of Suga Free, “If you stay ready, you ain’t got to get ready.” 

That said, orgasms from oral sex and foreplay can be equally delightful if penetrative morning sex simply isn’t in the cards.

How to make good morning sex even better

So you’re sold on the dopamine rush of getting dick in the morning. But is it possible to make something this good feel even better? Of course! Here are a few other ways to maximize your arousal in the a.m.:

Introduce toys

Toys: the unsung heroes of great sex. A cock ring can turn your morning wood from a weeping willow into a mighty sequoia, while a dildo will prime you for pounding. Both are welcome additions to morning sex, even if it’s a self-love session.

Start with a sensual massage

Opening with an intimate cuddle is always a good move to boost your libido. But if you really want to heat things up, try an erotic massage. This will help both of you relax and prime your bodies for sexual congress. You can bet your senator will deliver a standing filibuster.

Try shower sex

Short on time, but not on desire for sex? Why not make the most of your morning routine and scrub each other’s erogenous zones in the shower? It’s not for everyone, but for those who like their sex to be (literally) steamy, shower sex is always an option. It sure beats missing out on an orgasm just because you’re running behind.

Play some soft music

Instead of waking up to NPR like you would every morning, maybe try something more sensual, like soft jazz or R&B. It doesn’t have to be either of those options; if you think listening to the Vengaboys when you get your pre-work porking is the best route to climax, then hey—we like to party just as much as anyone else.

Try some scented oils or candles

This requires a bit more effort, but it’s worth it if you have the time. Relaxing scents from candles and essential oils can transform the morning quickie into something much more sensual. This is a fantastic addition to lazy weekend mornings when breakfast in bed involves a different kind of sausage gravy.

Morning sex positions to try

We hear you. You’re too tired first thing in the morning to pile-drive your partner off the edge of the bed. And no one’s saying you have to. Here are some sex positions that feel like they were made for morning sex:

Spooning

Spooning is an underrated position, regardless of when you’re fucking. It’s easy and cozy, ensuring the top doesn’t spend too much energy while facilitating a built-in cuddle session. You can still go hard in this position if you really want, but more sensual movements are ideal for morning sex, and spooning makes that possible.

69

Like spooning, 69 doesn’t have to be a workout for any part of your body besides your jaw. This position encourages mutual pleasure via foreplay before you switch to another position for penetrative sex.

Kneeling Fox

If you enjoy the leverage and pound-ability of doggy style, may we introduce the Kneeling Fox as a morning alternative? It’s a similar position to doggy, but the bottom kneels and sits back on the top. It allows for some pretty deep penetration. It can be super hot, although it doesn’t offer the same intimacy as spooning.

Face-to-face

This one can be tough if you’ve got especially rank morning breath. But if you can get past that (or if you’re into that sort of thing), this position is arguably the most sensual of them all. Like spooning and 69, it’s done lying on your side, making it perfect for those who are as sleepy as they are horny.

Edge of the bed

Let’s say the top is a morning person, and the bottom isn’t. No problem! Just pull them to the edge of the bed and hit their P-spot while they hit snooze, as warm and cozy as the man clam you’re shucking. This position can be adjusted based on comfort or preference. Maybe reserve it for special occasions.

The early bird gets the one-eyed worm

What could be a better start to your day than tending to the whims of your penis? The rush of a morning sex orgasm is (almost) better than coffee.
