Is there really a best time for s.e.x? Studies show most partnered s.e.x happens late at night, though men are “hornier between 6am and 9am,” while women feel aroused between 11pm and 2am.

In your 20s, hormones are at their peak. Mike Kocsis notes, “You have a higher libido, especially around ovulation, and you have more energy and emotional response to intimacy.” Morning s.e.x and spontaneity often dominate this decade.

By your 30s, responsibilities make scheduling important. Stress can lower dopamine, but s.e.x often becomes “less driven by hormonal spikes and more by trust, connection, and oxytocin-driven bonding.”

Your 40s bring back spontaneity, with mornings, weekends, or lunch breaks fitting best. Menopause may lower libido, but it can also “encourage better self-awareness and communication with partners.”

In your 50s, intimacy shifts toward sensuality and connection. April Maria advises, “Exploring morning or midday s.e.x, when energy is higher, can feel more enjoyable.”

By your 60s and beyond, reduced stress creates “a phase of sexuality that’s richer and more intentional than ever.”
