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/
One day we were sitting and wondering where it's at
When down came a dragon with a wizard on his back
He said to us, step up, wanna take you for a trip
Then up we flew off into space and the astral gates we slipped
Alright
Looking back behind us, to the freaks and heads we wave
And off beyond our system out until they're deep in space
And on the edge of time and space there stood two towers black
But on we flew, the wizard knew there was no turning back
Cast your spell on me
Higher and higher, through the cosmos we had tripped
Seeing stars turned inside out, we thought our minds had flipped
Colors swirling, sounds are drifting, thinking we were dead
The wizard turned and spoke to us and, this is what he said
Through the virgin universe, upon his back we played
Creating and destroying with the music we made
Undulate the cosmic rhythm, galaxies were born
Clouds of blue, fluorescent dunes, spreading out before
Yeah
When down came a dragon with a wizard on his back
He said to us, step up, wanna take you for a trip
Then up we flew off into space and the astral gates we slipped
Alright
Looking back behind us, to the freaks and heads we wave
And off beyond our system out until they're deep in space
And on the edge of time and space there stood two towers black
But on we flew, the wizard knew there was no turning back
Cast your spell on me
Higher and higher, through the cosmos we had tripped
Seeing stars turned inside out, we thought our minds had flipped
Colors swirling, sounds are drifting, thinking we were dead
The wizard turned and spoke to us and, this is what he said
Through the virgin universe, upon his back we played
Creating and destroying with the music we made
Undulate the cosmic rhythm, galaxies were born
Clouds of blue, fluorescent dunes, spreading out before
Yeah
