Morning sex seems to go against the rules and regulations. It isn’t cloaked in the appropriate modest cover of nighttime darkness, and it doesn’t have the lazy languidness of sex on a golden weekend afternoon. Morning sex requires balancing the sex with practicality and punctuality. A timed game of strategic touch and rustling cotton.
Morning sex with a partner who is not a morning person isn’t exactly satisfying. The morning person must do all the work of maneuvering the non-morning person’s body which is still heavy and lazy with sleep. Morning sex with a non-morning person is one-sided and uneven.
Still, there’s a sweet beauty to bridging the gap between bodies, between sleep and awake, at the beginning of the day. There’s an odd beauty in the transitions of dawn and consciousness.
Sex in the morning
Is not the orgasmic sex
But it is quite sweet.

For dVerse (Rules and Regulations, All in the Golden Afternoon, Punctuality), Go Dog Go, Twiglets, and retroactively dVerse (Morning has broken)

Reading this on the bus just now it made me smile. You describe the situation in all its languidity beautifully

I’m a lady, so I’m will not directly confirm if this poem is based in real life experience.
However, I will acknowledge that careful observation and repeat experimentation are hallmarks of the scientific method, which I know because I studied science. And any good scientist knows the value of frequent, repeat experimentation…

Liberating to read about others experience of unsatisfying sex. The most written stuff about sex is angled to show how amazing it is but in reality, during a life time, a sexual active person will be experience a range of different sexual experiences and some of them will be less pleasurable.

You’re right about the range of experiences, I think. I communicated this badly, but I would characterize it more that morning sex with the non-morning person partner, while unsatisfying from the perspective of climax (because the non-morning person is too sleepy and lazy to care), has a different kind of beauty to it, independent of satisfaction from a climax perspective.
