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/
Yes, it's a good day for singin' a song,
And it's a good day for movin' along,
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything go wrong,
A good day from mornin' till night.
Yes, it's a good day for shinin' your shoes,
And it's a good day for losin' the blues,
Ev'rything to gain and nothin' to lose,
Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night.
I said to the sun, "good mornin', sun.
Rise and shine, today"
You know you've gotta get goin'
If you're gonna make a showin'
And you know you've got the right of way
Cause it's a good day for payin' your bills,
And it's a good day for curin' your ills,
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills,
Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night.
And it's a good day for movin' along,
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything go wrong,
A good day from mornin' till night.
Yes, it's a good day for shinin' your shoes,
And it's a good day for losin' the blues,
Ev'rything to gain and nothin' to lose,
Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night.
I said to the sun, "good mornin', sun.
Rise and shine, today"
You know you've gotta get goin'
If you're gonna make a showin'
And you know you've got the right of way
Cause it's a good day for payin' your bills,
And it's a good day for curin' your ills,
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills,
Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night.
