Morning sex boosts immune system, cuts risk of stroke

The morning is the best time of the day to get passionate with your partner.

According to sexual health and wellbeing expert Samantha Evans, getting frisky first thing brings a tonne of health benefits; including boosting mood and helping you look younger. “Men accumulate testosterone as they sleep and from the time they wake up, they have a three hour window when they are brimming with testosterone,” she told Daily Star. “That early morning erection is not called ‘morning wood’ or ‘morning glory’ for nothing. “Whatever it is called, having an erection on waking up is as good a reason as any to initiate a little morning sex.” Getting passionate first thing helps give the brain a boost too, meaning you’ll get over that sluggish, post sleep, feeling quicker than ever. It’s also a good way to put your relationship first, as couples who are intimate regularly tend to feel more connected. All that’s left is to get over the morning breath and any sweaty pongs which might be lurking. That might seem hard, but a serious session should block out any fears about your partner’s hygiene. “Adults who start their day with sex are more likely to be happier and healthier than those who start their day with a cup of coffee and breakfast,” Samantha added. Morning romps can help improve your immune system, as people who get fruity one or more times a week tends to have higher levels of antibodies. These are the things which help ward off illness. They’ll improve your mood, because orgasms increase levels of serotonin, the chemical that helps us feel jolly. Orgasms also help boost oestrogen levels, a hormone while helps skin and hair look glossy, plus a good romp will improve circulation.
