Morning Intimacy: Before one’s morning begins, intimacy is needed to keep your day productive. Pretty good, isn’t it? But is it really so? Let’s quickly look at what science has to say in this respect.

The Claim: Intimacy Is Productivity

This theory suggests that morning intimacy releases “feel-good” hormones like dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. Attention, less stress, and better mood are productivity boosters at any kinds of work. Supporters of the idea claim this chemical lift gives way to faster decision-making, better performance, and more confidence during the daytime.

And that 70% figure…? That’s where it starts becoming suspect.

Scientific Study Says

Research shows that intimacy reduces stress and boosts mood. A 2017 article published in The Journal of Sexual Research states sexual activity enhances emotional well-being. Another study from Oregon State University found that individuals that had intimacy on the previous day reported greater job satisfaction and mood.

None of the two studies-or any other credible one, for that matter!-ever spoke of a 70% improvement in productivity. Quantifiably, these benefits would be slight, related more to attitude and motivation than actual working output.

That 70% illusion

There exist no studies to support a specific 70% productivity gain following searches of scientific databases like PubMed. The figure seems to sprout from either exaggerated discussion in social media or marketing hype. Subjective productivity could mean one feels better, accomplishes various tasks, or is less stressed.

Morning intimacy may lighten your mood and put you in a style vibing relaxed and confident to start your day’s work. Although it can help emotional well-being, it on its own doesn’t add up to immediate considerations when dealing with productivity. So enjoy it for its own sake-but rather preserve serious productivity for constructive sleep, a healthy breakfast, and a winning to-do list.
