His morning breath really turns me off

Q. My boyfriend prefers having morning sex, but his breath is so bad in the mornings that it really turns me off.

A. Morning is the perfect time for sex because between 6am and 8am, male testosterone levels are at their highest. As a result, most healthy males wake with an erection.

Funky breath is also a morning phenomenon. The mouth is home to a multitude of bacteria that feed on the gunk that lurks on your gums, tongue, and throat, as well as the spaces between your teeth. When bacteria digest these goodies, they give off foul-smelling sulfides and amines.
