Why men want Se.x in the morning and women at night –Study

It appears there is never a bad time to have Se.x, be it in the morning, afternoon or night, and being one of the most pleasurable obligations in marriage, couples have had Se.x at such times some people may consider ‘ungodly.’

Inasmuch as Se.x has no definite time or venue before it can be enjoyed, findings by some scientists have shown that men want it in the morning, while women want it at night.

The question then is, why is it that men want Se.x and are good to go first thing in the morning while women often want to get in the mood late in the evening?

In justifying their findings, the scientists attributed men’s early morning desire to two things – hormones and because Se.x could make a day better. The result of the study was published in mirror.co.uk.

It is no news that men usually wake in the morning with an erection, feeling amorous, which is occasioned by the testosterone hormone in their body, and since a hard-on is also instrumental to Se.x, that pleasurable act may just be lurking in their thoughts.

The study noted that a man’s level of Se.x hormones is at the highest when he wakes up while a woman’s is at the lowest. Notably, higher testosterone levels equals higher Se.x drive. Even though both men and women have testosterone, it is more present in men, known as the Se.x drive or male hormone.

One of the researchers, Ashley Grossman, a professor of neuroendocrinology 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 Se.x hormone – has been switched on in the night and its levels have been rising steadily until dawn.

Hence, low testosterone 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 erection and a tendency to make the men more aggressive in pursuing Se.x.

“Women also make testosterone – the main Se.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 Se.x, and the raised levels in the morning means most men will wake with erections, which informs part of the reasons they want Se.x in the morning.
