According to experts, men enjoy morning sex more than their female partners due to their hormonal cycle.
Although not all men are in favor of lifting their legs in the air early in the morning, the hormonal cycle plays a crucial role in this desire for morning sex, experts explain to the Belgian daily Het Laatste Nieuws.
“They produce a maximum of hormones in the morning, then they decrease throughout the day,” said urology professor Piet Hoebeke of Ghent University, referring to a natural phenomenon that allows men to reproduce safely.
“If the hunter-gatherer in prehistory produced maximum testosterone in the morning and therefore experienced a peak in sexual desire, he could have sexual intercourse immediately upon waking in a safe environment: his hut or his house,” Mr. Hoebeke argued.
For clinical sexologist and couples therapist Wim Slabbinck, this is not the only explanation, even if the hormonal connection with morning desire has been proven, since the absence of stress during sleep promotes this desire.
“During the REM sleep phase, the time when we dream, men usually develop an erection,” which causes them to “feel sexual desire and want to make love first thing in the morning,” the media group expert said. HLN”. .
