Have You Ever Had Sex At 6am In The Morning? On A Normal Day?

Have You Ever Had Sex At 6am In The Morning? On A Normal Day?
Carly Jacobs

I went to a party a few months ago where I barely knew anyone. I found myself sitting next to this rather obnoxious girl who was mid-way through a conversation about her house renovations that was boring me senseless. Until she said quite loudly that her and her boyfriend had been having sex that morning at 6am and were disturbed by the plumber knocking on the door. The way she casually threw this little anecdote into an unrelated story, for some reason made me think that she was lying. I’m honestly not in the habit of reverse engineering whether or not people are telling porky pies, nor am I in the habit of caring very much about the sex lives of others but please indulge me for a moment as I deconstruct her story point by point. Just for shits and giggles.

It Was A Weekday. And It Was 6am.

I’m sorry but nuh-uh. If she was saying 9am and it was a weekend then fine but pre-dawn nookie on a work day? Who is she is trying to kid? Firstly, most people barely have time to eat breakfast before work, let alone indulge in coitus. Secondly, she may be up for it first thing in the morning but what’s to say both of them are? What’s to say they’re both awake at that time? What’s to say they’re both morning people? There’s a variety of logistics to consider here people. Honestly, I even could have believed an 8am shag if they had a spare 15 minutes before they had to catch the train but 6am? Nah. Not buying it.

The Relationship Was Well Established.

To emphasis how hot this girl and her man were for each other she kept insisting that they’d been together for ages. IF they were in the honeymoon phase of their relationship then 6am sex is slightly more plausible but after 3 years… probably not.

Both Participants Were 9 to 5-ers

I can accept 6am sex from shift workers, people suffering from jet lag, maybe people who are self-employed and work weird hours or people who were still awake from the night before but if she’s keeping the same hours as the majority of the working world, I fail to see how this 6am shag could have eventuated.

I’m basing most of this post on the fact that I don’t believe I’ve ever had sex at 6am in my entire life… or done anything at 6am other than sleep, attend a spin class or catch a cab to the airport. Is this really a thing that people do? The girl in question was most definitely lying (mainly because everything that fell out of her mouth was utter BS) but it did make me consider the fact that there may be this before work sex club that I didn’t even know existed.

I’d love your thoughts on this. Today’s survey consists of one question only. Have you ever, under no special or extraordinary circumstances, woken up at 6am and had sex before you went to work on a weekday? Drugs, new relationships, one night stands, shift work, unemployment, jet lag, hangovers, affairs, honeymoon phases, trying to get pregnant or insomnia don’t count. I’m talking about waking up to your blaring alarm and being like BANG! SEX! GO!

All answers are completely confidential but I will publish the results in graph form. Or perhaps in a pie chart.

Feel free to comment as well.

Disclaimer: I’m not judging people who have early morning sex, I’m just outraged in the same way as when you go to someone else’s house and they use a different type of kitchen cleaning cloth than you and you’re all ‘WTF??? You ANIMAL!!!’.

    Mate, clearly you do not have children.  This is not one of the usual snarky comments that often accompanies that dreadfully trite phase “Oh, just you wait til you have kids!”, like it’s a threat of impending doom. Or that you don’t have a right to an opinion until you too have pushed a watermelon out your fandango (I fail this test, btw. Emergency caesar caused by EnormoBaby). I loathe those evil cows.

    But, and I imagine I’m not alone here, imagine a scenario when you both wake up at the usual time and realise your baby / toddler / child is still asleep.  One of you at least is already more than ready and the other one is so excited by the prospect of nookie that it takes mere seconds. Bam, you’re on it!  Positions to avoid morning breath are recommended.

    Yep, I’m with Kim-Marie – your only windows of opportunity when you have small children and early in the morning or after they’re in bed (and usually by then, the prospect of sleep is far more appealing!) xxx

         I think children are the kicker in this debate.

  3. Beatrix Quills 12 years ago

    yeah, kids and 6am sex go together like children and dirt, it’s true. I’m definitely part of the early morning sex club! Sounds kinky, no?

       I’m actually shocked at how many people are sneakily having early morning sex. It’s mental.

      • Alohasailor 12 years ago

        How is it sneaky? It’s not something generally publicized at any time of the day.

  4. Jasmine 12 years ago

    Er, another parent here. Yes. BUT. Back before children I was an early-morning sexer, too. Morning wood, lady. I’m not saying it’s EVERY morning, but sometimes you just wake up, notice that morning wood … and it’s not like it’s an effort to get a guy to agree to sex, no? Quickie and then back to sleep before the alarm even goes off!  I’m at my randiest in the morning and short of a dire hangover/deathly illness, I’ll always wake up for this (especially if there’s time to go back to sleep afterwards).

       True that. I’m beginning to think that we really aren’t just morning people in general.

      • Jasmine 12 years ago

         I should have noted that I’ve always been a morning person (in general, not just for sexy-times). People wanted to kill me on school/uni camps and trips because I was always delegated as the ‘wake people up’ person and my totally natural 7am cheeriness annoyed the shit out of everyone.

  5. Sarah Rooftops 12 years ago

    Once. Only once. And it came as a surprise to both of us. I can’t get your Google doc thing to work, but what the hell – I’m not giving any sordid details; I’ll tell you here.

  6. stinkb0mb 12 years ago

    i DON’T have children, have been married for 12 years [together for 13], we both start work at 7.30am and yup we’ve had 6am sex MORE than once – nothing like waking up and getting your day off to a flying start!!

    proud to say i’m part of the Early Morning Sex Club – you should join, it costs nothing but orgasms 😉

      Smaggle 12 years ago

       Ha! Love it. I really have to address this in my blog response, it’s not that we actively avoid it, it’s just that it never really happens at that time. We’re afternooners. 🙂

  7. Louise 12 years ago

    I’ m an empty nester, and yes we are definitely members ofthe Early Morning Regular Sex Club. What a way to start the day!

       I love morning sex. Just not 6am sex but I hate anything at 6am. Even fun things.

       Dude I know! I’m also generally angry in the morning and not overly fond of people. I’ll tolerate the Mr but only because he was already there when I woke up.

  9. Eliza 12 years ago

    Yes, I have… I went to another city for a dirty weekend in a fancy hotel, and we did it in the morning before he had to go to work and I had to fly home.  I don’t know if it was exactly 6am, but it *was* very early.

    I have also had a lot of lunch-break sex, thanks to a gentleman friend who lived 5 minutes from my work.  And come to think of it, we used to shag the mornings before I had to go to work, which was usually a 6am shift.

    • Author

       I’m rather fond of the lunch time shag. Have done it many times myself.

  10. Annonymous 12 years ago

    Yes … my partner and I both work at the same place and start at 6am everyday 5 or 6 days a week, sometimes you both (somehow?!) wake up with a bit of time to spare, and one morning snuggle leads to another … breakfast isn’t always the best way to start the day…

  11. Tresca 12 years ago

    i think this only proves that some folks do a lot more sexin than others and are also more likely to talk about it.

    • Carly Jacobs 12 years ago

      True but just because someone shags in the morning doesn’t they do it more than someone who prefers a matinee. 😉

       Just because someone has early morning sex doesn’t mean they do it more frequently than someone who doesn’t. 🙂

  12. DSP 12 years ago

    Just another reason why I should try to be more of a morning person 🙂

  13. AnnaD 12 years ago

    Of course! Early morning sex is the best. Wakes you up, gets you ready for the day. And as someone mentioned before – Morning wood! Needs to be taken care of.

    I don’t think this girl was lying at all. 

    • Author
      Smaggle 12 years ago

       Oh she was definitely lying, not because no one has 6am morning sex but because she was full of shit in general.

      I’m definitely getting into this concept though. 🙂

  14. Kish+Co 12 years ago

    I read this like a cynic. Then I read the comments and thought – dang, I need to try this.

  15. Deb 12 years ago

    6am sex sure isn’t a regular thing for me but yeah, it’s happened.

    And really, if you can get up, get ready and be at a spin class at 6am… why is 6am sex so hard to understand? It’s the most convenient kind of exercise, you don’t even need to get out of bed!

    • Author
      Smaggle 12 years ago

       See the challenge is that I do spin class with other willing participants. 🙂
      My man and I both work for ourselves with many OS clients so we often aren’t in bed until around 2am so I’m thinking that’s where the issue is.

  16. Carolyn Beaumont 12 years ago

    It’s by no means frequent, and a few of the times have been due to one of your exceptions above, but yes I’ve definitely had morning sex… I am a morning person and much more likely to be in the mood at 5:30am than after a huge dinner and long day…

    • Author
      Smaggle 12 years ago

       Hells no, I’m an end of the day gal. Or after lunch. 🙂

  17. LaLa 12 years ago

    I answered yes… it was on a weekday morning.. BUT… it was after a massive night out and we’d only got in at around 4.30 or 5am. We did not go to work that day.

    I think she’s fibbing too.

  18. Hannah 12 years ago

    Yeah, a couple of times. I am not that big on morning sex…just not my thing…but on occasion it’s nice. 

    • Author
      Smaggle 12 years ago

       I mean I’m sure I have at some stage but I just can’t recall. Probably because it’s so infrequent.

  19. Nevermind 12 years ago

    Hells yeah.
    Not frequently, because I hate early mornings with a passion and drug myself heavily to get to sleep at all, so I am rarely awake that early.
    But the boyf usually wakes up around 6:30 (he gets to work at 7:15 for brekkie and works 8:00 – 4:00, so I don’t think that counts as shift work), and sometimes he sets the alarm for 6:00, so we can have snuggletime before he has to get up.
    And on Fridays I have to be up at 6:30 because I have an early uni class, so when his alarm goes off I actually have to stay awake.
    And if you’re already cuddling in spooning position, and he happens to have woken up, um, perky, spooning sex requires little energy/movement (perfect for when you’re still half asleep) and avoids the problem of morning breath.
    And an orgasm really is the only way for me to be happy about being awake before noon.

      Smaggle 12 years ago

       I’m starting to get more and more convinced. There’s still the time factor though. I’m a real set the alarm for ten minutes before you have to be out the door kind of gal. It leaves little space for wiggle room.

  20. Lauren 12 years ago

    Ahaha this totally made me laugh!  Although I have to say I’ve had 6am shasha on numerous occasions … largely because my man seems to wake up early every morning regardless of day/work/whatever.  I think it’s a great way to start the day!

       My man is the exact opposite he is not even functioning until he’s had a coffee and a shower.

  21. Nessbow 12 years ago

    I find it more difficult to believe that the plumber knocked on the door at 6am.  I’ve never been able to get a plumber to visit my house before 8am, not even in an emergency.

    The sex, I can believe.  It’s not a habitual part of my sex life, but yes, 6am, regular day sex has occurred on occasion in my (working, child-free, long-term manogamous) life.

    • Author
      Smaggle 12 years ago

       That’s what I thought! Also it seems to me that if you’re getting house renos 6am is tradie start time. They were begging to be disturbed.

  22. Louise 12 years ago

    Why yes…. yes I have. It’s usually fairly quick, no need for heaps of foreplay, and it feels damn good to have that post-sex grin on your face for the rest of the day! 

    • Author

       Too true. Might be a good one to get that early glow.

  23. Anna 12 years ago

    I am as surprised by your ignorance of ‘morning people’  as you are surprised that people have 6am sex.

    I have been in a relationship with another morning person and we’d regularly be wide awake, chirpy and horny at 6am. Whose to say this girl and her partner weren’t both morning people?!?

    At the moment I’m not in such relationship and when I naturally woke up
    at 5 am this morning (alarm set for 7) I would have readily welcomed a
    little nookie to fill the spare morning hours.

    What I’m trying to say is. Morning sex even on a work day is pretty
    normal to me. It would never occur to me that mentioning it might
    make me appear to be a lying bitch in a freakish, strange relationship.

      I write in jest. And kudos to you for being conscious at 5am. So never happens in the Smaggle Haus.

    I’ve not done the sex at six thing.
    I don’t rule it out.
    Only if the following rules are obeyed…
    1. early night
    2. mints by the bed
    3. Coffee and croissants (or snooze) to follow.

    I laughed so hard I snorted.
    It has happened to me on occasion, v. rarely though.

  26. Tara 12 years ago

    Not actually conscious until 7am so definitely not for me. Did have a sneaky one while the child was watching Playschool once though…

  27. Natalie Mulford 12 years ago

    Well, after you ruled out all the things that don’t count, then nope. Insomnia and a New Relationship has been the main reasoning behind any morning sex for me. I love my sleep too much.

  28. Katherine 12 years ago

    Haha this post and the following comments are hilarious! I am not a morning person and my boyfriend starts work at 5am so no 6am shinanegans for me…but it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t happen 😉 I just prefer coffee first!

  29. Jules 12 years ago

    Hmm.. the only thing that would lead me to believe she was lying was the fact that a plumber turned up at 6am? Assuming it’s in a residential area they’d be in trouble for making any noise if it was major work, and if it wasn’t major work I’d find it hard to believe they would turn up at 6am…? Could be wrong.

    To be honest, I’m not loving the overall tone of this post. Be curious about people’s sexual habits but breaking down an acquaintence’s lies seems a bit bitchy to me.

    There’s a chance my partner and I are crazy. It’s happened on the odd occasion. Particularly odd given we both start work at 7.30am. To get it in before then we have to be particularly horny/ happy/ crazy/ excited about school holidays 🙂

  31. LateSexer 12 years ago

    *Note to self, never procreate lest it leaves me in a situation where I HAVE to wake up at 6am to get laid.

    Early morning sex is not sexy if you’ve just waken up…you both have bad breath, messy hair…are sluggish…not cool. I would rather wait until we’ve both brushed our teeth, showered and had breakfast. Sex is much better when you’re both fully awake and energized so that you can actually enjoy it!

  32. Gembalina 12 years ago

    I think the biggest hole in the story is the plumber arriving at 6am? AS IF.  I’ve never had a tradie “promise” to arrive even before 8am, and then they’re always at least an hour late.

    I’m a no, but I would totally love to. I have come to realise that I have a high sex drive, and honestly wouldn’t mind sex first thing in the morning.

    Hi I am 39 and been with a 44 polish man for just over a year.

    He works 4 12 hour shifts and up at 3am. I work 8 to 5pm. We have sex at least twice b4 he goes to work. He is absolutely amazing and never met anyone like him before. So different to men from UK.
