Morning Sex Is Good For You – Science Shows

Lower blood pressure, decreased stress, and a boosted immune system – it’s hard to beat the health benefits of sex. Like most things that are good for your health, science says that intimacy in the morning can help you start the day off right. Just like a healthy breakfast or a refreshing morning jog, the health benefits of morning sex mean this might be worth adding to your morning routine.

Some men find it easier to perform in the morning hours

For most men, testosterone levels peak in the mornings. The pituitary gland, which controls the production of the male sex hormone in the brain, gets switched on while men sleep. This newly produced testosterone can put men “in the mood” from the minute they wake up. The refreshing feeling of a good night’s sleep and possible “morning wood” doesn’t hurt, either! Men who struggle in the bedroom during the evening may find they have better luck at this time of day.

Women also produce a bit of testosterone overnight, though not nearly as much. While they are statistically less likely to be interested in sex in the morning, women who choose to do so can experience multiple benefits throughout the day. Why? Just read on.

Morning sex can release feel-good hormones to kick off your day.

The endorphins released by intimate activity can help lessen physical pain, improve mood, and release stress. As if these benefits of morning sex weren’t enough, women also get an extra kick of estrogen when they are gettin’ busy on the regular. This can improve the look and feel of skin while protecting from things like heart disease and osteoporosis. Better mood, better skin, better heart health – not a bad way to start your day!

It will keep you feeling connected with your partner

The chemicals released during sex can also help couples feel closer to one another, thanks to a little thing called oxytocin. Oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone,” can help strengthen the bond between two people. In fact, a recent study showed that heterosexual men in monogamous relationships were more likely to keep their distance from women who weren’t their partners after receiving a dose of the hormone.

Solidifying a relationship’s bond before leaving for the day’s activities is a great idea for couples looking to strengthen their relationship. For those who cannot have sex in the morning, touching or cuddling can also help achieve this closeness.

What to do if morning sex just isn’t working

It’s great to recognize the benefits of morning sex, but it’s not so simple for many Canadian couples. Erectile dysfunction affects close to half the men over 50 across the country. This leave many struggling with intimacy in their relationships.

FullMast men’s health clinics were created to provide real options to men dealing with ED. From innovative treatments like SONICWAVE™ to carefully created multimodal plans, we are committed to helping men improve their sexual health.

Want More Action in the Bedroom? First Sleep Better

A proper night’s sleep is good for you. A healthy sex life is good for you. Basically, spending the right amount of time in bed, with quality sleep, can lead to a happier, more productive life.

But do these two activities have any relationship with each other?

Sleep Promotes Erectile Health.

Love making and nap taking have a mutually beneficial relationship which can help almost anyone improve things in the bedroom. Here are a few things you should know about sleep and sex.

1) Getting more sleep increases the likelihood of sex the next day.

A 2015 study from the University of Michigan tracked the sleep and sexual patterns of 171 young women over a two week period. Researchers found that every extra hour of sleep increases the likelihood of sex the next day by 14%.

The study’s author, David Kalmbach, told CBS News that “practicing good sleep hygiene…could help protect against having problems in the bedroom.” He added that “helping out around the house to reduce workload” and “planning romantic getaways” are great ways for partners to encourage this improvement.

2) Women who sleep more report higher sexual satisfaction.

Quantity is one thing, but what about the quality of intimacy? A study of women aged 50-74 found that those who slept 5 hours or less per day not only had less sex, but also reported lower satisfaction in the bedroom. The more sleep these women got, the happier they were with their sex lives.

Research shows some major benefits to trading the sleepy, half-hearted rendezvous for an energetic encounter. But what if sleep is something you have less control over?

3) The quality of your sleep has a big impact on your sex life.

A study conducted in 2005 study found a high correlation between sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction in men. Like ED, sleep apnea can have many different psychological and physiological causes. The condition may also cause cardiovascular complications. This can affect blood flow everywhere, especially below the belt.

While advice pertaining to sleep and sex can be helpful for most, it’s important to call a doctor if you find these things to be of your control.

The Science of Penis Health & Sleep

A large study conducted in 2022 looked at the association between male genitourinary conditions (like erectile dysfunction and testosterone deficiency) and sleep disorders (like insomnia, sleep apnea, and circadian rhythm sleep disorder). They used a large claims database to compare the two, and found that poor sleep has a negative impact on penis health. This was the largest study of its kind in the U.S. to date.

What This Means For You

This information is great to have, and we hope it can help you improve your sex life. However, we know it’s not fair to tell someone with a sleep disorder to simply “get more sleep.” Similarly, it’s unreasonable to tell someone with ED to “just get more turned on.”

These are medical issues that deserve professional attention.

We can help with that, too. If you are a man experiencing erectile dysfunction, we are here to help. Get your free, confidential consultation by booking online or calling 1-844-500-1177 today.

Make This One Change to Improve Your Sex Life

If you’re struggling to maintain your intimate life as your body ages, you’re not alone. Around half of Canadian men over 50 struggle with ED, and there seems to be no shortage of quick-fix solutions online.

But recent research into physical well-being and performance challenges in men has shown that something other than pills can keep your motor running. According to a recent study, physical exercise plays a significant role in preventing and treating erectile issues.

Reuters reported on the ground-breaking study, stating that “A growing body of evidence has suggested physical activity could improve erectile function, but the authors of the new report say that until now, no one had looked at all the studies together.”

While we’ve always known that a healthy body and mind can make a difference in the bedroom, this new research shows that exercise specifically is truly a game-changer for many men concerned with their intimate health.

Just How Much of a Difference Can Exercise Make?

As always, results depend on the individual. On average, however, the difference can be significant: The study found that, on the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (a scale of 5-25, with 5 being extreme ED and 25 being none whatsoever), men who performed aerobic exercises regularly had their scores increase by an average 3.85 points. Researchers note that this figure is only slightly lower than the average results seen by men who take medication for their ED.

This impact was particularly noteworthy for men who were previously unhealthy and at risk for heart disease. Exercise in combination with other treatments, including medications, had the highest rate of success.

The big lesson for men looking to improve their situation? Make sure your doctor considers physical activity as part of your treatment, and ask about what long-term solutions could exist for you outside of a prescription.

What Does This Mean For You?

These results are no surprise to us at FullMast – we specialize in building comprehensive ED treatment programs for men, and physical exercise is often an important component of that.

Keeping your heart healthy and your blood flowing are key to living and loving “full mast,” so exercise is often recommended for both treating ED and preventing it. Whether you’ve been struggling with the issue for years or have never had a problem in your life, exercise can help you keep things functioning for years to come.

Need a treatment plan designed specifically for your body, one which takes your whole health into consideration? We can help with that. Schedule your consultation at our Toronto or Vancouver clinics online or call 1-844-500-1177 for more information.
