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/
She was my sense of reason
Girl that lived here
Now she's gone and I'm alone
Well, my heart is cold
I can't control my soul
Tryin' to remember
Just try how it feels like living on your own
Well, yeah, now
I wander through my darkness
And remember
All the love that I have seen
Don't fret my sweet
Deeper than heat
Oh, it was so long ago
Like somewhere that I've touched but never been
Well, yeah, ooh, ooh
Well, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, I don't think, I don't think I can win
Yeah, is this to be my destiny
Oh, I'll stop and start again
Oh, yeah
Can I help it?
I want to remember
Was I a fool to sit and dream
Oh, help me over here
The way to going clear
Living for tomorrow
As dead as yesterday before its end
Hey, yeah...
Ooh, ooh...
Let me have some peace of mind
Let me feel I belong somewhere
I'm gonna leave it all behind
Leavin' to the country
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Girl that lived here

All the love that I have seen
Don't fret my sweet
