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/
Bang, say da da da da
Tell me yes and let's feed the fire
Bang bang, say da da da
Nothin' less, I want to hear a yes
Bang, say da da da da
Tell me yes and let's feed the fire
Bang bang, say da da da
Tell me yes
The word is out, got good news
We're gonna go for a midnight cruise
Steady weather, it's always cool
The street teaches what you learn at school
Look out, the gang's all here
Gettin' tough in tender years
Come for a ride,
Straight up to heaven
Your rocket is ready
And it started counting down
Bang, say da da da da
Tell me yes and let's feed the fire
Bang bang, say da da da
Nothin' less, I want to hear a yes
Bang, say da da da da
Tell me yes and let's feed the fire
Bang bang, say da da da
Tell me yes
Give it in or give it out
We can blow it up
Or we can blow it all out
Get a little or get a lot
It doesn't matter we'll never stop
So wild, young and free
Red hot and sugar sweet
Come for a ride straight up to heaven
Your rocket is ready
And it started counting down
Bang, say da da da da
Tell me yes and let's feed the fire
Bang bang, say da da da
Nothin' less, I want to hear a yes
Bang, say da da da da
Tell me yes and let's feed the fire
