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/
Disarray
Tearin me
What's left to see
See me break
It's a misery
No where left to stay
Can I say
You don't care for me
If it's anyway
Self-enrage
You're blamin me
You'll blame ureself someday
Your enrage
Keep it in it's cage
I don't wanna hear this
I don't need to see this
Self-enrage
I get all the blame
I don't wanna hear this
I don't need to see this
Generate
Are you hatin me
It's your only way
Can you have
For your jealousy
Can you get away
Is it safe
You threaten me
Put your rage away
Look away
Don't talk to me
Just keep away
Your enrage
Keep it in it's cage
I don't wanna hear this
I don't need to see this
Self-enrage
I get all the blame
I don't wanna hear this
I don't need to see this
Feel the pain
Keep on prayin
Won't keep my might
Won't keep me broken
Shattered gem
Who should I blame
For the dreams that shattered
For the life's that stolen
My body's sayin
Tell me don't give in
This will do u best
This will keep you rollin
Since I can't win
Where should I begin
To search for somethin
To walk away myself
Leave it all behind
I walked away
Never cried my eyes out
I severed and I slowly choose the street
I close my eyes
And took all my lights out
I made this whole and buried them away
Tearin me
What's left to see
See me break
It's a misery
No where left to stay
Can I say
You don't care for me
If it's anyway
Self-enrage
You're blamin me
You'll blame ureself someday
Your enrage
Keep it in it's cage
I don't wanna hear this
I don't need to see this
Self-enrage
I get all the blame
I don't wanna hear this
I don't need to see this
Generate
Are you hatin me
It's your only way
Can you have
For your jealousy
Can you get away
Is it safe
You threaten me
Put your rage away
Look away
Don't talk to me
Just keep away
Your enrage
Keep it in it's cage
I don't wanna hear this
I don't need to see this
Self-enrage
I get all the blame
I don't wanna hear this
I don't need to see this
Feel the pain
Keep on prayin
Won't keep my might
Won't keep me broken
Shattered gem
Who should I blame
For the dreams that shattered
For the life's that stolen
My body's sayin
Tell me don't give in
This will do u best
This will keep you rollin
Since I can't win
Where should I begin
To search for somethin
To walk away myself
Leave it all behind
I walked away
Never cried my eyes out
I severed and I slowly choose the street
I close my eyes
And took all my lights out
I made this whole and buried them away

“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.
