Most of us tend to think of intimate encounters happening at night, but have you ever considered the benefits of getting intimate in the morning? While some may be concerned about morning breath or feeling too anxious to start the day, there are many reasons why having fun in the a.m. can improve your life and relationship. It's time to switch things up and try something new.
1. You've got to shower anyway
When you've been intimate, it's common to want to take a shower afterward. But if it's late at night, the thought of getting up and showering may not be appealing. However, if you have an intimate encounter in the morning, you're already getting up and ready for the day, so you can kill two birds with one stone by taking a shower then.
2. It starts your day on a high note
Intimacy releases endorphins that can improve your mood and overall happiness. Instead of feeling down about starting your work day, why not walk in with a smile knowing that you've already had a great start to your morning?
3. It makes you way smarter
Did you know that intimacy has been linked to increased brain function? Studies have shown that it can stimulate the growth of new brain cells, which can improve long-term memory. So if you're looking for a way to potentially improve your chances at a raise or promotion, why not give intimacy a try? It could help you grow those all-important brain cells.
4. Men are more ready to go in the morning
If you're looking to initiate intimacy in the morning, you may be in luck. Intimacy and relationship therapist Tammy Nelson Ph.D. has noted that men tend to be more ready for intimacy in the morning due to an increase in testosterone levels while sleeping. So if you know your partner is already feeling amorous, it may be easier to get things going.
5. You get to stay in bed longer
If you're not quite ready to face the day, why not spend some quality time in bed with your partner? It's a great way to prolong the start of your day and have some fun while you're at it. Plus, you'll probably have a better time stalling in bed than you would trying to sleep.
6. It wakes up your senses
While it's true that intimacy can help relax you and improve sleep, it can also invigorate your senses. While you could try drinking coffee for a pick-me-up, it can cause bad breath and lead to a crash later on. Instead, why not try intimacy as a way to boost your energy and avoid any negative side effects? It's a fun and effective way to start your day.
7. He'll last longer in the morning
Intimacy therapist Arlene Goldman Ph.D. notes that men who have had a good night's sleep and have an increase in testosterone may have more energy and endurance for intimacy. If your partner needs a boost in stamina, it may be worth considering intimacy in the morning when they are more likely to have these benefits.
8. It doubles as a morning workout
If you're looking for a way to burn calories, consider skipping your morning jog once in a while and getting intimate instead. According to Live Science, men burn an average of 4.2 calories per minute during intimacy, while women burn an average of 3.1 calories. It's a fun and enjoyable way to get in a little exercise.
9. People who do it are healthier
Have you ever considered the health benefits of intimacy in the morning? Research suggests that people who get intimate early in the day are healthier and happier than those who do it in the evening. Intimacy can help boost your immune system and the effects can last throughout the day. It can also improve the appearance of your hair, skin, and nails. So why not start your day off with a little bit of fun and all of these benefits?
10. It's unexpected, therefore hotter
Intimacy can be a special, naughty treat that you and your partner indulge in from time to time. After getting dressed and heading out for the day, the memory of your intimate encounter will linger in the back of your mind, leaving you feeling hot and satisfied. This can be a fun and exciting way to start your day.
