Score before breakfast
A woman’s libido spikes in the morning, just like yours. How convenient. But there’s a right way and a so-very-wrong way to coax her awake. Here’s how to heat her up early.

1  Wake up sooner. “A woman won’t want sex if she feels hurried,” says Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., a sex researcher at Indiana University. “Her clitoris won’t respond to even the most skilled touch if she’s worried about being late for work. And besides, she needs about 20 minutes to reach orgasm.” Set the alarm early or make your move on the weekend to ensure that she’s relaxed and responsive.

2  Whisper, don’t poke. Women need aural stimulation to help eliminate self-consciousness about eye boogers and bed head, says Nagoski. So pull her close and say, “You’re so beautiful in the morning,” or, “I love waking up with you.” If you’re spooning, thaw her out with some sensual kisses to the back of her neck.

3  Bring her breakfast. Orange juice masks morning breath, and “the citrus will jumpstart her arousal system,” says Alan Hirsch, M.D., director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, in Chicago. Bonus: Vitamin C boosts your adrenaline, giving you extra stamina. She’ll appreciate that. Dark fruits like blackberries, bilberries, and elderberries contain high levels of anthocyanins, ultrapowerful antioxidants that could act as erection insurance. And a satisfying omelet is loaded with B vitamins and protein. That’s a potent mix, helping to keep sex drive high and boosting levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, two chemicals in the brain that heighten sensitivity during sex. She’ll appreciate that, too.
