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/
You're only wasting good time on a dream
Oh, oh dreamer...
I love my girl and my girl, she loves me... whoa yeah
Oh yeah, find yourself another running ground, huh, around the block
Your imagination's got it all turned around
She's solid as a rock
She's my girl, my girl
Do something you can do, oh yeah...
My girl, my girl
You better keep your hands on you
You're building paper castles in the air
My girl never heard anything that you said
Whoa yeah, yeah...
You're looking just a little bit confused, huh, here's the twist...
That girl never had a thought for you, exit
She's my girl, my girl
Do somethin' you can do, oh yeah
My girl, my girl
You better keep your hands on you
She's so fine, she's all mine
She's so true, she won't even notice you
Find yourself another running ground, huh, around the block
Your imagination's got it all turned around
She's solid as a rock
She's my girl, my girl
Do something you can do (do something you can do)
Oh yeah

You better keep your hands on you
She's my girl you know I'm sayin'
All I gotta do is get around the block
