Do you know what is the best time to make love?

A recent study published in the British Medical Journal found that sunlight boosts testosterone by stimulating the hypothalamus – part of the brain responsible for hormones.
According to Italian researchers, testosterone levels in men and women are highest in the morning at 5:48am- a prerequisite for making love.

The researchers came to conclusion that 5.48 a.m. as the best time for sex. ‘This is also when couples are most likely to reach orgasm,’ the authors added.

‘Our body clock dictates our circadian rhythms which govern our mood and energy levels,’ the researchers added.

While morning sex sometimes feels less than ideal – you have sleep in your eyes, dragon breath, the night sweats, and, probably, a hangover – a sunrise shag is actually healthy.  “That’s when testosterone levels peak,” says Dr. Harry Fisch, author of Size matters. “When a man has higher testosterone and is well-rested, he has more energy during sex. That energy will help him last longer.” You hear that, guys? Last longer. As in, you’re a sex god. Your woman won’t know what got into you, but she will love what’s gotten into her.

Even before a man has opened his eyes in the morning, his level of testosterone is at its peak – between 25 percent to 50 percent more than at any other time of the day.

‘The raised levels in the morning mean most men will wake up two to three times a week with erections,’ said Ashley Grossman, neuroendocrinology professor at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London.

As the day goes on, men will keep steadily making testosterone as the hormone is also needed to trigger muscle growth and sperm production.
