Biorhythm This is the best time for a love act

When is the right time for a shared act of love? Is there a best time at all or is it all nonsense? Renowned researcher Paul Kelley of the University of Oxford is convinced that the right moment exists to complete the pleasure. "The sleep rhythm plays an important role," says the British expert.
Are you planning your Schäferstündchen? Or are you just guided by the moment? When is the right time? Rather in the morning or better in the evening? For sleep researcher Paul Kelley, the best moment is just in between. Because "a really good sexual act depends on the biorhythm," says Kelly. But this one moves in the course of our lives. The optimal time to have sex or sleep changes as our body ages, "says Kelley.

Young people love each other best in the afternoon
This is not the opinion of an expert, but results from a study that Kelly and colleagues undertook. As a result, when young people in their twenties sleep at around 1:00 am and leave the bed around 9:30 am, the time for a lovemaking at that age should be at 3:00 pm. According to the hormone expert Alisa Vitti then the cortisol level in the woman is optimal. That leads to more energy. In men, the estrogen level is correspondingly higher, which means that men are much more sensitive. "So it fits hormonally," says the scientist.

Those who have already passed the 30th year of life should almost set the alarm clock. Here, according to the expert at 8:00 clock the best time to indulge his love. All this should be "brought to the stage or breakfast before getting up and having breakfast".

From 40 better in the evening
Who is older than 40 years old, may, according to the study evaluation again with the sex time. Only at 22:30 clock was the best time to have sex with the partner. After that, traffic also helps to fall asleep quickly and restoratively. But what if the age differences are too big? Must then the compromise?

After intercourse, messengers such as Dopamine activates, which supply the reward system of the brain. This leads to a "noisy state" and feelings of happiness are distributed. Some, especially young women, suffer from a "postcoital dysphoria". They are almost overrun by the emotions and start to cry. "But that changes quickly over the course of life," says the researcher.
