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/
Hey there Alecia sit down, you need a lesson
-Don't make me pull out my smith and wesson
I'm your friend so listen hard
-Or you might not get a birthday card
Theres a few things I should tell you
-Before you turn fifteen and go off into the blue
I did some things that where not smart
-So listen up, I want you to have a good start
Don't drink and drive, don't do drugs
-And if you date, don't date any thugs
Should you not listen and be bad
-I hope you'll know I'll be very mad
Don't take anything from a stranger
-Your parents warned you of this danger
Walk in groups don't go alone
-Get a calling card, or a cellphone
Don't try to fool me I know your smart
-I don't want to catch you hanging out in front of Walmart
Don't hang all over and touch boys
-Keep the music down, dont make too much noise
Do your homework, get good grades
-So that one day you can afford to get us maids
Go to college, don't take a break
-You don't want to live in a van by the lake
Take your time your in no hurry
-Just be a kid, one day it will all seem blurry
Remeber were all watching you
-Don't do anything I wouldn't do
Call me if you need me, I'll be right here
-But don't call me if you want me to buy you beer.
I know I lecture, buts it's because I care
-So don't try any immature stuff or I'll pull your hair
-Don't make me pull out my smith and wesson
I'm your friend so listen hard
-Or you might not get a birthday card
Theres a few things I should tell you
-Before you turn fifteen and go off into the blue
I did some things that where not smart
-So listen up, I want you to have a good start
Don't drink and drive, don't do drugs
-And if you date, don't date any thugs
Should you not listen and be bad
-I hope you'll know I'll be very mad
Don't take anything from a stranger
-Your parents warned you of this danger
Walk in groups don't go alone
-Get a calling card, or a cellphone
Don't try to fool me I know your smart
-I don't want to catch you hanging out in front of Walmart
Don't hang all over and touch boys
-Keep the music down, dont make too much noise
Do your homework, get good grades
-So that one day you can afford to get us maids
Go to college, don't take a break
-You don't want to live in a van by the lake
Take your time your in no hurry
-Just be a kid, one day it will all seem blurry
Remeber were all watching you
-Don't do anything I wouldn't do
Call me if you need me, I'll be right here
-But don't call me if you want me to buy you beer.
I know I lecture, buts it's because I care
-So don't try any immature stuff or I'll pull your hair

“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.
