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/
The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn by choice
It airs no need
To hold.
Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on thes roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on my love
We shall meet, I know
I know
Where join should reign
These skies restrain
"Shadow your love"
The voice trails off again
Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know
I know
It talks to me
Stillborn by choice
It airs no need
To hold.
Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on thes roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on my love
We shall meet, I know
I know
Where join should reign
These skies restrain
"Shadow your love"
The voice trails off again
Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know
I know

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is a beautiful song indeed. And a sad one [like most beautiful ones tend to be]. I interpret it as being an old man watching his loved one [spouse] dying, and here's why:
"The cold has a voice / It talks to me" -- he feels her body getting colder, it is she who is speaking her last words to him.
"Stillborn by choice / It airs no need to hold" ---- I believe this is about the inevitability of death; or better yet, the frailty of life it self.
"Old man feels the cold / Oh baby don't / 'cause I've been told" ---- the old man feels her getting colder and colder and begs her to stay because she said the following words to him before:
"Stay on these roads We shall meet, I know Stay on my love We shall meet, I know I know" ------ she wants him to keep on living and not to worry about her cause she believes they will meet again in another life.
"Where joy should reign / These skies restrain ------ the joy of living with her is taken away by heavenly fate. "Shadow your love" ------ her words to him; she recognizes her death brings him sadness. The voice trails off again ---- she feigns again from weakness after her words
Old man feels the cold Oh baby don't 'cause I've been told Stay on these roads We shall meet, I know
"Stay on...my love You feel so weak, be strong Stay on, stay on We shall meet, I know I know" ---- and these words are his to her. He feels she is getting weaker and begs her to be strong just for a little while more and stay; assuring her that he wants to believe they will meet again just like she said they would.
@freeking24 Forgot to mention the part of the lyrics that isn't presented: <br /> <br /> "Winter's callin on my home" ---- death is calling his spouse; she is dying on their home.
@freeking24 \r\n\r\nIn the verse "stillborn by choice": stillborn is connected to previous "me" in the verse "it talks to me" ?
