I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Growing up planning my other half
Startled by your glaring eyes
As you resist to take my threats unseriously
The stars of the sky will eventually fall down
And everything that stands around you
My own jail is in my head as I punish my faults
Becoming a man I will grab onto the gun
To see the war more of what we want
Who ever told you the real way we fight
Because I'm more of what's not
Know all we have is mortality
Never look back
Driven back to this home I cannot see
The black smkoke will rise above me
Endurance will break my only goal
Beacuse in this unknown life
I cannot live on
Upon the clocks ring I open up my eyes
Look at this world and notices we're infested in lies
Shoot the gun and regain all your pride
But know that the world makes no sense
Because the facts that war will never halt
Know all we have is mortality
Never look back
Problems are alive
The world stands in revalation
We may be hated
We could be hated
We should be hated
You will betray
I know all the facts
Yes to stand above them is a lie
My matyr is and only soul
Repair and run among the low
Know all we have is mortality
Never look back
Startled by your glaring eyes
As you resist to take my threats unseriously
The stars of the sky will eventually fall down
And everything that stands around you
My own jail is in my head as I punish my faults
Becoming a man I will grab onto the gun
To see the war more of what we want
Who ever told you the real way we fight
Because I'm more of what's not
Know all we have is mortality
Never look back
Driven back to this home I cannot see
The black smkoke will rise above me
Endurance will break my only goal
Beacuse in this unknown life
I cannot live on
Upon the clocks ring I open up my eyes
Look at this world and notices we're infested in lies
Shoot the gun and regain all your pride
But know that the world makes no sense
Because the facts that war will never halt
Know all we have is mortality
Never look back
Problems are alive
The world stands in revalation
We may be hated
We could be hated
We should be hated
You will betray
I know all the facts
Yes to stand above them is a lie
My matyr is and only soul
Repair and run among the low
Know all we have is mortality
Never look back

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
It's about war and not understanding the meaning of it...
