If you are one of the many people that are trying to figure out the best time to seduce your mate for the ultimate satisfaction, did you know that it has a lot to do with the time of day you are trying to make your move.
While some people will tell you the best time for sex is whenever they are awake, sexologists (yes, there are people that study this) have found that the time of day you have sex impacts how much you enjoy it. This could be good news for people who feel they have all the right moves, the right connection with their partner… but still aren’t quite getting there.
Let’s take a look at the hours of the day and what works best for who:
06:00-08:00
A Woman: Her body is not yet ready for sex even if she is already awake, according to Men’s Life magazine. The melatonin level (the sleep hormone) is still too high while her body temperature has not yet gone up (it stays somewhat lower at night). At times a woman can derive special pleasure when her partner starts making love to wake her up. But a man should not skip the foreplay; he had better let his woman wake up by making it nice and slow.
A Man: In terms of sexual excitability, most men reach their peak during these hours. He needs to have a thrill and get some energy for a new day. On the other hand, he is normally quick on the trigger. Wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am is all a woman can expect at this point.
08:00-10:00
A Woman: A woman is fully awake and ready for sex. The level of endorphin, which is the hormone of joy, in her blood reaches its maximum during these hours. She will not take long to get excited.
A Man: His mind is focused on his work now. His testosterone level lowered back to normal, and therefore he would be pretty hard to arouse.
10:00-12:00
A Woman: Her taste receptors have sharpened by now. During these hours she can get maximum pleasure out of oral sex. Incidentally, a man seems to be always ready and willing to indulge in this form of sexual activity.
A Man: He is in a thoughtful mood at the time. That is why he would rather ponder sex for hours than make the first move and get it on.
12:00-2:00pm
A Woman: Her activity reaches its peak during these hours. However, her activity has nothing to do with sex. She finds it hard to unwind and focus on sex at this stage.
A Man: He is in the mood for a bit of frolicking. He would be glad to join any sexual activity if his partner happens to be in a similar disposition.
2:00pm-4:00pm
A Woman: Her reproductive system is completely prepared for conception during these hours. Meanwhile, she is not ready to make love slow and easy. She would rather have somewhat cursory sex with a pinch of S&M.
A Man: Semen produced in the male reproductive organs about 4 p.m. is of the highest quality. Therefore, the above hours are the best if procreation is on your mind
4:00pm-6:00pm
A Woman: Most women are incapable of engaging in active lovemaking during these hours. On the other hand, she would not mind a quickie on a lazy afternoon. So do not tell your man to hold his horses if he is feels sexually excited.
A Man: Ready for action though incapable of engaging in slow sex. He needs a fast one to get rid of his stress and negative energy buildup.
6:00pm-8:00pm
A Woman: A woman needs to replenish a lack of energy so dinner would come in handy. The sensory nerve endings in her ears are finely tuned during these hours. A woman is inclined to listen to long love confessions and colorful compliments at this stage.
A Man: A man couldn’t care less for sex at the point. He wants to have a nice dinner and some rest thereafter.
8:00pm-10:00pm
A Woman: The best time for going all the way nice and slow. A woman is full of energy (if she ate her dinner well) and ready to act on her own initiative. Experimentation between the sheets is highly recommended.
A Man: A man is ready to get off too and fulfill his partner’s every wish. Both male and female sexual clocks are ticking simultaneously at this stage.
10:00pm-Midnight
A Woman: Her melatonin level goes up dramatically about midnight. Her body is falling fast asleep even if she usually stays up late. Therefore, her sexual excitability decreases. However, she feels more romantically excited than before…
A Man: He feels totally relaxed yet not sleepy. A man is ready to engage in long and slow lovemaking activity. The remainder of his energy should be released through sex so that he can fall asleep soundly.
Midnight-06:00
A Woman: Her body needs good rest. However, some people can have sex in a drowse. Many women who never experienced orgasm before are reported to achieve a peak of sexual gratification while making love half-asleep. The phenomenon has to do with the state of complete relaxation occurring in a sleep. Needless to say, her partner should stay awake to do his bit.
A Man: Complete and total deep sleep. It would take a lot of effort to wake him up.
As you can see, there are really about four hours when both men and women are on about the same page when it comes to sex. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t be spontaneous and try different times of the day to please your partner and experiment. Sometimes that is really all that is missing… spontaneity. If you always have to wait until you are in your room, behind closed doors at night… that tends to become mundane and predictable.
No one said the kids have to be asleep or not home… they just need to be occupied in another room where they aren’t going to see you. Plus you have the added excitement of “being caught in the act,” which can really heat things up!
