The alarm going off in the morning is normally nobody’s favourite sound, but what if you could plan your day so that when you heard that alarm you knew that you had something nice awaiting you straight away? Couldn’t that make some mornings a bit more fun?

Enter the power of morning sex! Getting busy with your partner, or with yourself, is a fantastic way to start the day and has a myriad of benefits!

First thing in the morning your body is literally ready for sex - oestrogen and testosterone levels are at their peak during this time - these hormones affect your libido so their high levels mean that once you’ve woken up a bit, it’s easy to feel in the mood! Sex at any time can relieve stress and release endorphins, and what better way to start your day than feeling stress free and happy? Some studies have even found that orgasms benefit your skin, so a morning climax will mean that you have that glow all day.

But I barely have time to have breakfast, who has time for sex in the mornings? I hear you. But this is something that’s worth setting the alarm that little bit earlier for. Even if you just spend 5 minutes cuddling and caressing your partner you are reaping huge benefits – deeper connection and higher levels of oxytocin. Also known as the “cuddle hormone,” oxytocin is the chemical in the brain that controls love and bonding.

Why not start by planning a weekend morning sex session with no time constraints, and the promise of a proper breakfast afterwards, and then work your way into weekday mornings as well? You don’t have to commit to loads of time, start with just 5 minutes and once you feel the benefits of that early sensual start you’ll be more than willing to get that alarm set even earlier!

Tips for getting busy first thing…

Set the alarm earlier and make the commitment to soft and sensual touch as soon as it goes off!

69 is a great position for the morning – pleasuring each other simultaneously could save time – or perhaps not if you both get embroiled in a full on session!

Worried about the dreaded morning breath? Have a sip of water and choose a position where you and your partner are not face to face, like the spoons or doggystyle. Spooning in the morning allows you and your partner to be slow and sensual. With minimal effort you get maximum pay off - full body closeness and hands roaming!  If you and your partner are feeling more energetic, get yourself into doggystyle for some deep penetration.

For those solo lovers, if toys are your thing have your favourite ready and waiting for you next to the bed so you can grab it as soon as you wake up. Maybe try sleeping in some slinky and or skimpy nightwear – why save that just for a partner? Waking up in silk and lace and then running your hands over your body will make you feel turned on and ready to pleasure yourself fully before the day starts.

I hope this has given you some inspiration to add intimacy into your morning routine. I personally find that if I make time for sensuality first thing then I have a smile on my face for the rest of the day. Stay safe. Have fun. Issy x
