Morning sex vs. evening sex: which is better?
When's the best time for sex?
Are you the kind of person who wakes up in the morning and wants to get down and dirty right away? Or are you more likely to want sex before you go to bed at night? Everyone has their preferences, of course, and those can rely on a variety of factors including age, gender, sleep schedules, and your general home situation. And while we know that morning sex isn’t objectively better or worse than evening sex, there are factors to consider which one works better for your unique needs.
Why men tend to want it in the morning
This one is for the heterosexual couples in the house: Ladies, have you ever been woken up by a dude who’s hungry for sex and proving it by pressing up against you? You’re not alone! According to Women’s Health, men have higher testosterone levels in the morning, which explains why they’re so prone to waking with an erection and that look in his eye. And while this can often be a pleasant thing to wake up to, many women have a tendency to want to be clean before sex, per Psychology Today. To that end, some women may want to take things into the shower before going any further.
Age has an impact
It stands to reason that night owls are more likely to have sex in the evening, while morning people prefer to get it on before dawn. However, as we age, there is a tendency to become more of the latter than the former, which of course can determine when you decide to have sex. That’s because younger people also tend to keep later hours, as noted by HuffPost. So you may find your sex schedule evolving as the years go by. May as well use that as an excuse to compare and contrast!
Home life has an impact
Depending on your home situation, morning sex may be entirely out of reach if the kids are popping in first thing, or your partner’s alarm goes off at 5 AM for work. If this is you, then evening sex may just be more realistic and easy to expect. But if you don’t have any little ones to worry about, maybe having sex as the sun rises is a regular ritual.
How do you feel after sex?
There are some folks who want to do nothing more than nap after a good romp with their partner, which is likely due to the hormones released and the energy expended. For those folks, evening sex might naturally make more sense for them. However, for other people, sex is something that they find totally energizing, making morning sex a fantastic way to start the day. Consider how you feel in order to maximize your body’s natural patterns, and lean into that.
