Morning Sex: It's Everywhere, Except in Our Bedroom

We just had the surreal experience of reading two morning sex columns in one day, all without the benefit of actually having morning sex on that day. Dammit. There's always tomorrow. Anyway, we'd grabbed Stuff @ Night to read during our lunch hour so that we would not have to make eye contact or converse with other humans while eating. (Er, maybe it's this antisocial tendency that leads to lack of sex? Don't judge us.) We perused the pages and found Jeannie Greeley's column on morning sex, which is an amusing take on crusty eyes, bright light, and the health benefits of A.M. action. And now we've come across Nerve's Morning Sex Rules, which are pretty standard: no hangover sex, no mouth-kissing, no butt sex, no brightness. Greeley's column is more in-depth and amusing, but she gets a little confrontational at the end, calling non-morning people too insecure and arrogant to let themselves get it on with bad breath. The Nerve perspective is just kind of what you would expect, noting mostly that sex is a nice way to start the day. But is this double take on doing it the sign of a December trend, or just a coincidence? We'll have to see what happens tomorrow morning.
