Sex in the morning : serious question!

[BCBG]

DH and I have been married for 23 years and still have a great relationship with lots of laughter . Sex is a bit patchy now to be honest: reasons being a) he comes home after 10pm most nights so I go to bed before him 2) my hormones are beginning to creak so there are times when I am just not interested and 3) we don't get to spend huge amounts of time alone in each other's company except on holiday, but this summer when away we met up back in the room in the afternoons and it was great! . Anyway, the problem IS.... he likes sex when he wakes up and i don't. Have always hated it. I like to have a cup of tea, clean my teeth, cuddle a bit etc and of course there's never the time for that. He on the other hand is ready as soon as his eyes open and he thinks most blokes are the same!! I disagree, and so he has suggested I ask Mumsnet for the vote! So, girls, are you pro or anti sex first thing?

Morning is my favourite time, unfortunately getting up at 6.30am during the week means it is mainly confined to Saturdays and Sundays!

Weekend mornings are good, but after I have been to the loo and brushed my teeth. Nice to have time for a cuddle, a shared shower and a late breakfast too.

I wouldn't mind if DH got up and had a wash and tooth brush first. He has horrendous morning breath. Yuk.

We used to love morning sex before we had kids. Now they are awake later so we are often too shattered by the time they are asleep but I am determined we are going to make it more of a priority.

lilac - i skim read that as "after I've brushed the loo"!! Thought that was a bit of an odd thing to get you in the mood!!

not against morning sex and it always makes the DH very cheerful so like to surprise him once in a while - makes him extra grateful to be married to someone as lovely as me :)

i dont mind as long as the dc are asleep but probably prefer early evening or afternoon and more when we are lovely and clean as i am aware of early morning stinky minge/ willy issues and so its less adventurous inthe mornings. Glad i name changed for that one lol.

DH is nearly always up for morning sex. I am sometimes (weekends). DDs get themselves up and can entertain themselves for an hour (or 2 ) at the weekend, so we usually get away with it.

I love dreamy morning spoon sex. Avoids morning breath too.

I think this is the age old difference between male and female sex drives. I'm randy as a rabbit at night but I don't like to be fumbled with before 9 am. Sometimes I will go with the flow, and often when I do I enjoy it, but it's not my favourite time.

Saying that, my Bf is very unselfish and will often put out when he's tired because he knows I would quite fancy a roll in the hay, so swings and roundabouts really. With four children between us, we have to take our chances when they come!

think it depends on if your a morning person. which im not. DH is. but im a night owl. mornings are a no no for me - but give me a nudge at 2am and id probably be up for it...

unfortunately DH is usually fast asleep by then or just getting up for work...(he is a baker)

Trying to remember what sex is like at any time of the day or night...erm...!

I wouldnt mind if it wasnt for the fact that it is ALWAYS in the morning and NEVER at night when I want it, ONLY when HE wants it !!!

God I HATE morning sex.
I've been married for nearly 28 years. Can count on one hand how many times I've had morning sex in that time.

Just NO

Well I'm absolutely anti sex when I don't fancy sex. Or when my partner doesn't fancy it either for that matter.

Morning breath is very off putting, but sometimes I wake up feeling like morning sex.

Agree with solo

I remember when me and my ex were alone during the day once and I tried to get things going and he looked at me shocked and said "but it's daytime" 😒 one of the numerous reason we are no longer together!

My husband is a morning man too. I do think most men are, don’t most men wake up with an erection fairly often?

I can’t say I love it with morning breath and all the grossness of early morning.

I'm male and not a morning man. (Except Sunday lie ins) When I wake up, I need to use the bathroom, not be in a hurry because I need to go to work. She however is and will often try to 'wake me up'..... So it can work both ways. I understand that male testosterone levels are at a peak after sleeping, so that is what drives this apparently. Also I seem to have less sensitivity until I am fully awake, which means it takes a long time. (Hopefully not TMI) Just my point of view.

I think most blokes are up for it in the morning, afteroon, evening, night, and any time in between.

Yep:) But tho the nighttime is the rightime as a bloke that first thing waking shag is well - great:)

Nah not for me I am never awake enough! I like to be aware and have a drink etc and be ready! I like it during the day or evening!

Stupidly I married a lazy arse. Who didn't do sex, night or day.

I'd like morning sex, nice way to set up the day I imagine
