It appears there is never a bad time to have s*x, be it in the
morning, afternoon or night, and being one of the most pleasurable
obligations in marriage, couples have had it at such times some
people may consider ‘ungodly.’
In as much as s*x has no definite time or venue before it can be
enjoyed, findings have shown that men want it regularly in the
morning, while women crave for it at night.
The question then is, why is it that men want s*x and are good to
go for it first thing in the morning while the women often want to get
in the mood late in the evening?
In justifying their findings, some scientists attributed men’s early
morning desire to two things – hormones and because it could
make a day better. The result of the study was published in the
Mirror UK.
It is no news that men usually wake in the morning with an er*ction,
feeling amorous, which is occasioned by the testosterone hormone
in their body, and since a hard-on is also instrumental to s*x, that
pleasurable act may just be lurking in their thoughts.
The study noted that a man’s level of s*x hormones is at the
highest when he wakes up while a woman’s is at the lowest.
Notably, higher testosterone levels equals higher s*x drive. Even
though both men and women have testosterone, it is more present
in men, known as the s*x drive or male hormone.
One of the researchers, Ashley Grossman, a professor at St
Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, said even before a man opens his
eyes in the morning, his level of testosterone is at its peak –
between 25 per cent and 50 per cent – more than at any other time
of the day.
He explained that the pituitary gland in a man’s brain – which
governs the production of the male s*x hormone – has been
switched on in the night and its levels have been rising steadily until
dawn.
Hence, a low levels can be linked to a lack of sleep because good
sleep boosts the level of the testosterone hormone in a man’s body,
which can often cause an er*ction and a tendency to make the men
more aggressive in pursuing s*x.
“Women also make testosterone – the main s*x drive hormone –
but produce a fraction of the amount and it rises by only a tiny bit
overnight, and it is also kept in balance by oestrogen and
progesterone.
“Men need only a normal amount of testosterone to feel like having
s*x, and the raised levels in the morning means most men will wake
with er*ctions, which informs part of the reasons they want s*x
then.
“Studies found that the longer and deeper a man has slept, the
higher his testosterone levels and research in the Journal of the
American Medical Association shows getting more than five hours’
sleep can raise the hormone levels by an extra 15 per cent,”
Grossman said.
While contributing to the study, a female consultant gynaecologist
based in Birmingham, Gabrielle Downey, said male and female
levels are at their highest at opposite ends of the day, so they are
out of synch.
She said that while the hormones secreted during men’s sleep at
night trigger their s*x-in-the-morning mood, it takes more than
hormones for women to be in the mood. She noted that some
studies have shown that a woman’s testosterone levels are likely to
increase on the anticipation of s*x with her man.
This probably means that whilst at work or closing from work,
women who envisage having s*x with their partner later in the
evening tend to have more testosterone levels, thus, a higher s*xual
drive.
Therefore, as evening approaches, while a woman’s testosterone
level is heading towards its highest point, even if slowly, a man’s is
dropping to the lowest level of the day. But regardless of the fact
that men’s testosterone levels are now at their lowest, it is
interesting to know that they are still more likely to have s*x in the
evening.
“It’s been said that women need a reason and men just need a
place – I think that’s true because regardless of the low male
testosterone, they are still responsive,” says Gabrielle.
Should the s*xual act happen eventually, the bonding hormone,
oxytocin, is released, prompting most men to sleep after the s*x.
The release of oxytocin after s*x aids sleep, which is the reason why
many men are notorious for falling fast asleep after making love.
According to a love network expert, Ms Michele Weiner-Davis,
couples should discuss how they would meet their respective needs
since the time of their interest varies.
“Each of them should be willing to do it once at the time of day
when the other is ready. And if they are really exhausted or in a
rush when the partner wants it, they can say no, but suggest a
better, but not distant time that will work,” she said.
