Blake BruceIndividual biorhythms, fluctuating energy levels and hormones – all affect the ideal time of day for sex. There are also differences between women and men. Nevertheless, a compromise can be found.
Timing is everything – whatever you’re up to, your biorhythm more or less dictates what time of day or night is best.
However, when it comes to the best time for the most beautiful pastime in the world, other factors – such as hormones – are also involved.
All together, it is quite difficult to say when is the ideal time for sex. Between heterosexual men and women – it seems – a compromise must be found.
When is the best time for sex? The biorhythm is crucial
In the course of a day, there are regular fluctuations in hormone balance, blood pressure and body temperature. This has a not inconsiderable influence on the mental state and the individual energy level.
Emotions, needs and abilities are constantly changing as a result. The biorhythm pulls the strings in your life.
If you know what works best and when, you can make your life a lot easier.
Men like morning sex, women feel like it in the evening
Basically, when it comes to the question of when is the best time for sex, men and women have completely different answers.
As the British ‘Daily Mail’reports, the survey of a sex toy manufacturer among 2,300 men and women revealed that men prefer sex in the morning, women rather feel the desire for sex in the evening.
Only 11 percent of female respondents are in the mood for sex around 8 a.m. – the preferred time for men.
It doesn’t fit the other way around either: Leidglich 16 percent of the men surveyed like to have sex after 11 p.m., just before going to bed, as women prefer, according to the study.
These differences are due to male and female hormones. In men, production of the crucial hormone testosterone is highest at night – 25 to 50 percent higher than at other times.
Women, on the other hand, have high levels of melatonin in their blood at night; the sleep hormone makes you tired rather than sexy.
However, the pituitary gland can also be tickled awake by light – when the sun rises, the testosterone content also increases in women – and the desire, it is said.
Researchers calculated the ideal time when men are still in top form and women have produced enough testosterone – shortly before six o’clock. Naturally, at this time one is not yet involved in everyday problems, so that one can enjoy the morning sex carefree.
There is more agreement about the day of the week. One of According to a British survey, there is a common tendency here, according to which Saturday is the most popular day for sex.
Age is also decisive in the best time for sex
In addition to the differences between the sexes, however, age is also a relevant factor in the best time for sex.
Paul Kelley of Oxford University has categorized optimal times for lovemaking by age, based on biorhythms that change significantly throughout life.
According to Kelley, people in their 20s should have sex around 3 p.m. because they are most energetic at that time.
For those over 30, however, it’s a very different story. “There’s quite a jump between 20 and 30,” the scientist explained to the ‘Daily Mail’.
“The brain, lungs and muscles have started to age, so the internal clock shifts a lot of things forward to make the most of the time available.” Accordingly, people in their 30s should have sex before breakfast in the morning.
People in their 40s, the human biorhythm expert recommends having sex after 10 pm. This is because the release of the cuddle hormone oxytocin, which sex promotes, relaxes and makes for better sleep.
The same applies to 60-year-olds and older people, but according to Kelley, the biorhythm here suggests a different wake-sleep cycle. Older people naturally wake up earlier, namely with the rising of the sun. To compensate for this, you should also go to bed earlier at this age and have sex earlier accordingly.
