Morning sex, huh? I had planned on asking my friends about it at lunch, but the second the words “morning sex” slipped from my lips, I heard varied reactions: “my favourite”, a courageous “the best time”, a more mellow “the classic”. It’s safe to say that there seems to be a common consensus that the morning is a much-appreciated time of day to enjoy some intimate moments in bed with your partner.Let’s delve a little deeper into the reality and fantasy of morning sex. In my personal opinion, morning sex can vary greatly, whether it’s with a stranger you picked up the night before at a trendy bar or with a partner you’ve been intimate with numerous times. While sex is sex, there are a few things to keep in mind in the morning that can affect how you’ll act and how the experience will unfold.It all depends on how your partner wakes you up or how you wake your partner up; the mood will be entirely dependent on the vibe set by the initiator. Morning sex can be soft, slow and passionate, but it can also be raw, hard and primal. Both experiences can be wonderful! Both can help bring you closer as a couple!If you are a morning person, you might be more inclined to take the initiative. On the other hand, morning sex might be exactly what you need to ease into the first hour of waking up, making it more pleasant and less difficult—just the right dose of excitement to get you through your pre-coffee blues.In my experience, there’s just one little hiccup—”to brush or not to brush.” In other words, what do you do about the morning breath situation? It’s something both partners are aware of but often do not address. If you happen to be the one who wakes up earlier and is feeling horny, you’ve got an edge; you can quickly rush to the bathroom and brush your teeth or give that bottle of Listerine a quick gargle. Then, you can go back to bed and turn on your partner, pretending you woke up like this. This way, you might feel a bit more confident turning your partner on, especially if they are still sound asleep. This is only an aesthetic and superficial issue that usually will not affect the quality of your intimate time.Another option could be to engage only in positions where your mouths aren’t too close, thus avoiding situations like missionary, for example. If you prefer doggy style or any spoon position, then you’re guaranteed to sidestep this issue entirely. You might also put your partner more at ease if you manage that undercover quick mouthwash mission beforehand.That being said, there’s something special about being au naturel with your partner. You can easily ditch all of the strategies and let the person lying beside you see and taste (in all senses) the real you—the you that they might not otherwise see. It can be a massive turn-on to just be yourself and to see the other for who they truly are without any of the huff and puff usually put into place. Also, you don’t necessarily have to kiss during morning sex; it can make that eye contact all the more intense if you don’tWhatever works best and makes you feel most at ease will be the best way to go about it and enjoy your best possible experience of morning sex. All in all, a morning quickie or a long sexy moment with your partner is usually an ideal way to commence your day with the exact right amount of passion. You can also really get to know your partner better and more intimately this way as you will discover what turns them on and how to best cope with their morning mood. The do’s and don’t’s will become more obvious and you’ll slowly feel more at ease and wake up feeling more and more sexy. Some people say that the way you start your new year will determine how the rest of the year will go… Well, how about applying this to how you start your morning? Squeeze in a little morning sex, and the rest of the day should run that much more smoothly!
