Would you skip your morning workout if morning sex delivered better results? Because according to a juicy little study from ZipHealth, that early-morning tumble in the sheets doesn’t just make your partner purr, it might make you a rockstar in the boardroom. Literally. Their Rise and Grind survey found that having sex before work can make men up to 70% more productive. That’s not a typo. That’s a sexual life hack.
So yes, you might want to replace your sad oatmeal and daily doomscroll with a proper orgasm. Or two. Or seven. Whatever number your schedule allows, dear reader. Let’s unpack why morning sex is making the corporate world a lot hotter, and how you can harness its delicious power all before 9 a.m.
Everything. And science (and several thousand aroused survey participants) supports it.
The team at ZipHealth surveyed 1,000 full-time workers, regardless of gender, about their morning intimacy habits. The results? People who had orgasmed before logging into Zoom rated themselves significantly higher in focus, motivation, stress levels, patience, confidence, and overall job performance. Seventy percent (70%!) of men claimed they were more productive at work on days they had sex in the morning.
Let that sink in: sex, which we often treat as a reward for surviving the day, might actually be the fuel that makes the day survivable and thriving. The benefits don't stop at workflow. Participants in the study also reported better concentration during meetings, smoother problem-solving, and lower anxiety, basically the holy grail of workplace wellness. And unlike a caffeine crash or anxiety meds, the side effect of morning sex is a glowing, satisfied grin and maybe some wobbly legs. Worth it.
So, what's behind this surge in sexy performance? Blame it on the body cocktail: oxytocin and endorphins. These little brain chemicals are behind that post-orgasm Zen mode that turns passive-aggressive email threads into minor inconveniences. They also enhance our emotional intelligence and boost our inner confidence.
Let’s get real: most people aren’t waking up with the time, privacy, or stamina for full-blown sex before their commute. Between alarm snoozes, kids, and that first cup of coffee, morning anything can feel like a miracle, let alone an orgasm.
But fear not. Here’s how to make the most of your morning grind (pun absolutely intended) without becoming late or stressed (or boring).
It doesn't have to be a 45-minute fuck-fest with complicated positions and furniture displacement. Hell, it doesn’t even have to involve penetration. A cheeky fingering session, a mutually satisfying oral warmup, or just a slow, sensual makeout in bed? All counts. The key? Shared pleasure and physical connection. Your brain reacts to intimacy, not just penetration.
Morning, you don’t want to look for lube in the dark or untangle dirty underwear. Prepare the mood at night. That can mean clean sheets, a reachable bedside toy or lube bottle, and conversations about “hey, wanna have a lazy morning quickie tomorrow?” This is erotic foreplay, without the stress of the morning.
Put “have sex” on your calendar. No seriously. Or at least agree on a vibe: “Let’s both wake up 15 minutes early on Thursday and touch each other until we purr.” Scheduling doesn’t kill the mood; it builds anticipation. If you make time for latte runs, you can prioritize pleasure.
The ZipHealth study didn’t say men became 70% more productive after tantric sex and a protein smoothie. They got results from “morning intimacy”, a term that includes quick and dirty, sweet and sleepy, or even just eye contact, cuddles, and grinding until climax. These results are about connection over complexity. Hot tip: morning breath is real but not terminal. If it bothers you, keep mints or water on your nightstand. Problem solved.
Sex with yourself = still a valid, oxytocin-releasing productivity tool. Wake up early, touch yourself (with intention, not just a quick stress tug), sit in the afterglow, and ride that high into your day. Solo sex is smart sex. Better than five more minutes of doomscrolling.
Even Vice agrees that morning orgasms are the secret sauce to career virality. So why not be your own best boss?
Dear reader, you don’t need to be a morning person; you just need to be morning horny. If sex before breakfast boosts your brain chemicals, elevates your mood, and makes you 70% more productive (as the ZipHealth survey shows), then the real question isn’t why morning sex? It’s why the hell not?
