Alissa Vitti, hormone expert and author of WomanCode, has done her homework. Sex is best at 3, and she has the proof.

How did she determine this? She checked her sources: men and women. Their hormonal clocks were the answer.

The stress hormone, cortisol, is higher in woman in the afternoon. Their energy levels will spike, leaving them readier than usual to get risky.

The levels of estrogen in men is higher in the afternoon. This makes them more emotionally available than usual.

Testosterone levels rise during sex (essentially making you horny), but Vitti doesn't factor it into her reason for mid-afternoon randiness.

Don't let the time constraint stress you out. It's a scientific suggestion, not a necessity.

Estrogen and cortisol can make a man more emotionally present during sex. They're not just in it for them—they want the feelings to be mutual.

This research doesn't apply to gay men and women, however. Since they can't balance out the estrogen and cortisol like men and women do—they just can't relate.

For the gays, consider yourself morning people. This is the best time to have sex. Testosterone levels are peaking! Your energy is spiking! And morning endorphins lowers blood pressure and stress levels.

Between 8 and 10 a.m., the endorphin levels in a woman are at their peak. So all around, everyone's having a great time.

Sex therapist Suzie Hayman has also confirmed that morning sex feels especially good because both partners (assuming there's only 2) are "fully rested, with heightened senses."

If it's not the freakin' weekend and there's no chance you'll be home by 3, the morning grind can apply to anyone. So fear not!

If you're using sex not just for fun but for means of baby-making, the morning is apparently the best chance you have at conceiving. Not to mention, orgasming.

Communicate with your partner about when works best for the both of you. Maybe you can plan on sneaking out of the office early for some afternoon delight.

No matter what time of day it is, you're going to enjoy sex. So relax. If 3 p.m. is impossible for your schedule, just do it whenever!
