Although it can’t be denied that great sex is a beautiful way to end your day, you’re really missing out if you invariably save all that fun for bedtime. Sex can be just as incredible a way to start your day, as well. Not only does morning sex help you and your partner both wake up and get moving, but it puts you in a great mood right off the bat.
The only downside is truly amazing morning sex sometimes requires a bit of planning, especially if you or your partner balance busy schedules. However, that’s nothing a little creativity and forethought can’t fix. Here are a few tips to get you started.
Embrace earlier bedtimes and wake-up times.
If you’re like most people, you know you should go to bed earlier, so you stand a better chance of being rested in the morning, but you can’t seem to do it. So why not let the possibility of great morning sex be the motivator you’ve been looking for? The better rested you both are by the time morning rolls around, the easier it will be to cultivate a frisky mood.
You may want to try getting up a little earlier on weekdays to prevent feeling rushed, as well. After all, getting up early is a lot easier when you know you’re doing it for the sake of something fun. Save those long mornings spent lingering in bed for the weekends.
Take a moment to get ready.
While there’s no need to look and feel selfie-perfect just to fit a little morning nookie into your schedule, taking a few seconds to make yourself comfortable may be advisable. For instance, if you’re like most people and wake up with a full bladder, a quick dash to the bathroom is a good idea. (Plus, peeing before and after sex can reduce the chances of a UTI.)
Or maybe you’re the type who worries about morning breath when an opportunity for sex presents itself. Taking a minute to give your teeth a quick brushing can take care of that. A breath mint or a breath-freshening strip works the same magic, so don’t be afraid to keep some in your nightstand for those times you’d rather just get right down to business.
Let yourselves ease into things.
If you and your partner aren’t exactly morning people, don’t let that stop you from enjoying a magical round of morning sex should the mood strike. After all, not everyone wakes up ready for a good pounding. Just take things slowly and give yourselves a chance to get into things a bit at a time.
Take advantage of the slower, steadier pace to enjoy little pleasures you might not always make the time for. (Think slow, gentle kissing and tender cuddling before and plenty of cuddling after.) And if you have the time, you can even linger in bed a while or drift back off to sleep before going for round two.
Think outside the box.
The easy, peaceful mood that tends to come alongside morning sex makes a terrific backdrop for a bit of creativity. So don’t limit yourselves to your usual positions unless you really want to. Instead, try easing into sex from a spooning position – perfect if the both of you are still feeling sleepy and want to ease into the action. Or try some mutual masturbation on for size just to mix things up.
Toys can be a great way to get things going in the morning, as well, especially if either of you needs a hand getting revved up (or reaching your big finish). Keep some versatile favorites close at hand, so they’re reachable in a pinch, and make sure to charge them up before bed if you think you might be getting busy in the morning.
Integrate sex into other morning activities.
Whether you’re too pressed for time to linger long in bed or simply feel like getting in another round of fun before you both start your days, it pays to get a little creative. For instance, you can hop in the shower together to save a little time (and water). Washing each other makes for fantastic foreplay. Plus, cleanup is always super easy. You can even bring a couple of your favorite waterproof toys with you for a little extra treat.
Adding a little sexiness to breakfast can be a lot of fun, as well. If you don’t have to worry about children or roommates walking in, go ahead and cook together in the nude. Take turns playfully feeding each other while you talk about your plans for the day. And if things end in a quickie right on the spot, so much the better, right?
As you can see, great morning sex isn’t rocket science. It just takes a bit of dedication and perhaps some creative thinking, so don’t be afraid to go for it yourself. You’ll love the tone it sets for the rest of your day.
