This is indeed an interesting question, involving the meaning of sex, sexual habits, and physiological adaptability. Generally, most couples prefer to have sex in the evening, so they can get a good night's sleep and feel refreshed and happy the next day. However, some couples prefer to have sex in the morning, as mentioned in the letter above. Is having sex in the morning good or bad?

It's well known that sex is not just about the intercourse between male and female genitals; it encompasses a wide range of activities, including all forms of flirtation such as hugging and kissing. However, the term "sex" commonly refers specifically to sexual intercourse. Satisfying sexual desires is a physiological instinct and a normal human activity. Confucius believed, "Food and sex are the greatest desires of humankind." Mencius said, "Food and sex are human nature." This aligns perfectly with the modern anthropologists' view that material life, spiritual life, and sexual life are the three basic conditions for human health. Ancient my country recognized the importance of sex, believing that men cannot live without women, and women cannot live without men; the union of male and female essences harmonizes yin and yang, establishing the way of husband and wife and the beginning of human relations.

Sexual intercourse is the starting point for human reproduction and procreation; without it, procreation is impossible. Some ancient tribes, for the sake of population growth and prosperity, highly valued sex and even used genitalia as tribal totems, worshipping the male phallus and female vulva. Sexual activity can also promote marital harmony, reduce sexual transgressions, and increase the stability of families and society. Therefore, humans must have normal and healthy sexual activity. In this sense, it should not be limited by time.

Sexual activity involves the physiological activity of several important organs and tissues throughout the body, especially the brain, nerves, muscles, and many endocrine glands, which are particularly active. The heart and lungs also must work harder. Therefore, sexual activity will inevitably consume a certain amount of energy and physical strength, causing varying degrees of fatigue. The exact amount of physical strength consumed cannot be precisely measured. Some estimate it may be equivalent to the physical exertion of sprinting 100-200 meters or quickly climbing 5-6 floors.

Since sexual activity involves physical exertion, it should ideally be conducted when fatigue is not present. Therefore, even if it occurs before bedtime, one should rest for a while beforehand and not rush into it. If it is arranged in the early morning, although the body has been fully rested, which is certainly good from this perspective, how long will it take to recover from the fatigue caused by sexual activity itself? This is another question that cannot be precisely estimated. Roughly speaking, physical recovery after sexual activity generally takes at least one hour. Too short a time will certainly not provide adequate rest.

So, is having sex in the morning good or bad? The answer should be judged based on the following points:

(1) Is it a habit for both partners? If it's become a natural habit, or as the saying goes, a "biological clock" has been established, then having sex in the morning is perfectly acceptable.

(2) Are there signs of fatigue? If, after getting up and going to work, there are no symptoms such as mental fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, muscle aches, lightheadedness, weakness, shortness of breath, palpitations, or excessive sweating, then there is no problem.

(3) Can you guarantee about an hour of rest in bed after morning sex? If you don't get up hastily, the fatigue after sex should be largely eliminated.

If, based on the above three points, there is no problem with morning sex, then there's no need to be restricted by time; you can proceed according to your personal preferences and habits, while also considering your partner's wishes and habits.
