Forget green smoothies and gym alarms—the real wellness girlies start their day with good morning sex. Today’s long yap is to convince you to make this switch, too.

Advantages of Morning Sex 

Your Hormones Are Literally Throwing a Rager

The second you wake up, your hormones are acting like it's 2 AM at Coachella. Estrogen and testosterone are having their little morning party, peaking at this time, which = your libido is LIVIN’ LARGE. Translation? You're naturally feeling friskier, harder, wetter, and 10x more into it.

Your Brain Is Actually Present (No Existential Crisis Yet)

Mornings are basically a soft reset. No email inbox anxiety, no 3 AM spiral about that one thing your boss said - just you, your main boo, and some slow burn eye contact. This makes it the best time to have sex! It’s actually intimate AF before the day hits you with chaos. Serotonin boost like nothin' else.

All Day Flashbacks, Baby

That mind-blowing O you had at 7:43 AM? Your brain’s looping it, very much like how you hum the first song that you hear in the day. You're in a Zoom call thinking about that grip, that stroke, that moan. Suddenly, you’ll find yourself wanting to text “Round 2 tonight?” It's a great way to keep your partner on top of your mind all day. And you're on theirs. Personally, this is another solid 11/10 reason that makes morning the best time to have sex!

It’s Like Popping a Happy Pill

Thanks to serotonin (the happy brain juice), you’re walking out of the bedroom like you just solved world peace and found your fav lip balm. Plus, endorphins = natural painkillers. So if you woke up with cramps, a headache, or just general “ugh,” this might be a pain-killing double-shot latte - but hotter. 

Hot Girl Workout

Who needs the gym when you’ve got morning cardio that moans back? You’re literally burning ~5 cals a minute, which means your good morning sex = a power walk… but with more thrusts, less pants, and 1000x more fun. 

Hello, Glowy Skin & Anti-Ageing Bonus

The glow after good morning sex? It’s real. That’s oxytocin + beta endorphins + other magical molecules working together to reduce inflammation and make your skin look like it drinks 8 glasses of water and gets 10 hours of sleep. Tbh, who wouldn’t want wonderful glowy beauty benefits of sex on their face right before they step out for the day?

Super-Charged Immune System

Who needs vitamin C when you’ve got vitamin D? Morning sex boosts your body’s natural defenses like a boss - fighting off germs, viruses, and all that icky energy. 

Closer Than Ever

Oxytocin (a.k.a. the cuddle hormone) is released during sex and makes you feel super connected to your partner. You’ll find yourself whispering “I love you” mid-hump during your early morning sex sesh. It's emotionally naked and actually naked. Literally heartbeat ASMR. Starting your day by being vulnerable, sweaty, and loved-up? It reminds both of you where the magic lives, right there under the sheets.

What Do Experts Say?

And of course, you don’t just have to take my word for it!

Alexandra Fine, the Founder of Dame, says - “If your tendency to hit snooze has crushed all of your well-intentioned plans to hit the gym, morning sex could kill two birds with one proverbial stone. Any physical benefits of doing a light workout in the morning - boosted metabolism, stress relief, etc. - will also hold true for morning sex."

Stewart, the sexologist and sex educator at Starship Sexual Health and Wellness, says, “For those in monogamous relationships, it's an amazing way to keep ties on one's fidelity by keeping your lover on the forefront of your mind and you on theirs.”

Positions to Try During Morning Sex

Spooning Position

Too tired to flip over but not too tired to get off? That's when this morning sex position is going to save you. It's the coziest way to get freaky without leaving your comfort cocoon. Just lie on your side, your boo snuggled right behind you. It can be a slow grind with their penis, fingers, or a lil’ toy action. It’s the perfect balance of comfort + climax.

The Hot Wrap Position

This one’s for the lovers who like their early morning sex wet and wrapped. Start by lying on your back, then have your partner climb on top, back-to-chest like a lil’ sexy blanket. Now comes the fun part: reach around their hips and get down to clit business - fingers, toys, whatever gets the juices flowing. You can even multitask with a nipple tweak for that double trouble moment. Perfect for finger play and extra intimacy? Yes, please.

Ankle Choker Position

This morning sex position isn’t for the shy. It’s hot, intense, and hella deep. You lie on your back, toss those legs up, like the gymnastic goddess you are, and rest your ankles on your partner’s shoulders. They can grab your ankles or wrap their arms around them for extra control. The deeper the push, the better the moan. Bonus: fold your legs toward your chest for max penetration. It’s like yoga, but with way more moans.

Go Solo

Self-love, morning sex edition. Lie on your stomach, one hand tucked under for that cozy pressure, the other handling biz - fingers, toy, or your fav waterproof sex toy (we see you, shower queen). Go slow, go hard, moan into the pillow. No one’s judging. It’s your moment, your orgasm, your power move before emails hit. Rise, grind… and cum. 

Cowgirl Position

Feel like being the boss this early morning sex sesh? Saddle up, queen. You straddle your partner (who’s lying back like the lucky star they are), and you control the tempo, depth, and overall deliciousness of the session. Whether you’re going slow grind or bouncing like a baddie, the power is literally in your hips with this morning sex position. You’re not just riding, you’re rewriting their entire morning.

Side 69 Position

Oral with zero gym effort? Say less. Just roll your head onto the other side of the bed for this morning sex position. Your mouths and genitals are perfectly aligned for mutual munching. It’s like a horizontal buffet. No arm strain, no pressure. Also, this is top-tier if you're both not quite ready to move but very ready to feel.

How to Prepare for Morning Sex - Tips and Tricks

As dreamy as it sounds to roll over into a steamy session, reality sometimes hits harder than your 7 a.m. alarm. Between morning breath, crusty eyes, and the eternal battle with your snooze button, it’s not always giving ready to ride.

The good news? With a few sneaky tweaks and spicy little hacks, you can turn that groggy morning into a gorgeous, orgasmic rise-and-shine moment. 

Don’t Wanna Lose Sleep?

If you're not down to sacrifice ZZZs, hop into the shower with your boo and let that steamy water double as a turn-on. Quickie? Clean body? Environmental goddess points? All check with one of the best morning sex routines!

Not Instantly Horny?

If your body’s still booting up, warm things up slowly. Let foreplay be your emotional espresso. Start with feather-light nipple play, soft kisses behind the ears, or those barely-there finger trails down the thighs. A cozy tease that slowly turns into “can’t keep my hands off you” good morning sex energy. Let your body wake up with the touch, not the to-do list. Mood: sensual snooze button.

Worried About Morning Breath? 

Two easy-peasy fixes:
a) Keep mints or a bottle of water by the bed for an instant refresh.
b) Ditch the lip kisses and get creative. Neck? Kiss it. Nipples? Suck ‘em. Tummy? Tongue it down. The whole delicious body buffet. It’s just as intimate, if not hotter, and no one's gonna complain about tongue work on their chest instead of their mouth.

Sleep Naked (or almost)

Going to bed in just your undies or fully nude keeps things sexy and makes morning access super convenient. Fewer clothes = fewer barriers = faster orgasms. That's just simple girl math for best morning sex ;)

Hydrate Before You Dominate

Leave a water bottle by the bed. Morning dehydration is real, and a quick sip can wake your body up just enough to get into the mood. Not only does it wake your body up, but it also saves you from that Sahara-dry mouth mid-moan. Stay wet and well-watered, queen. 

Use Sleepy Compliments as Foreplay

Forget sexts, sleepy flirty whispers are the OG morning turn-on. “You look so hot like this,” or “Wanna skip breakfast and have me instead?” It’s silly, it’s sweet, and it totally sets the mood. 

Too tired to function? Choose lazy-chic positions.

Still 50% in dreamland but 100% down to get it on? Babe, that’s what lazy-chic good morning sex is made for. Slide into spooning or flip into doggy. They’re like the sweatpants of sex positions: cozy, effortless, but still solid fun. Zero acrobatics, I promise.

I now hope that tomorrow, your snooze button will have nothing on your orgasms!

Spice up your AM sesh with a vibrator —its targeted vibes will have you moaning before the sun’s even up. Pair with a quality water‑based lube for a luxuriously smooth glide and zero friction. Whether you’re solo or riding cowgirl, sex toys plus lube turn good morning sex into full‑blown morning magic.
