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/
scream, and beg; cry out so loudly
when you wake up in the night
another nightmare, an evil dream
of what there was, and always has been
see the monsters, see all the beasts
they hunt you down in the streets
so you will wake in cold sweat again
with a scream on your lips wich makes you believe
ther was no friendly word
deep inside your heart of stone
you lived a life without joy, and fun
you always had a business to run
the dreams are the shadows of your past
they come to get you very fast
there's no escape now face the truth
what you call life is just a nightmare
when you wake up in the night
another nightmare, an evil dream
of what there was, and always has been
see the monsters, see all the beasts
they hunt you down in the streets
so you will wake in cold sweat again
with a scream on your lips wich makes you believe
ther was no friendly word
deep inside your heart of stone
you lived a life without joy, and fun
you always had a business to run
the dreams are the shadows of your past
they come to get you very fast
there's no escape now face the truth
what you call life is just a nightmare

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
This song is kind of soft, and gentle. It's a little sad sounding. The vocals reminds me a little bit of Depeche Mode, but not exactly. Good song if you can tolerate softer music every now and then.
