How To Have Morning Sex Like In A Star Is Born

In the new movie, A Star Is Born, you'd expect for there to be a lot of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll — and there is a lot of latter two. But in terms of sex, the relationship between Jackson Maine (played by Bradley Cooper) and Ally (played by Lady Gaga) is pretty tame. In fact, the first time that they hook up, they have morning sex, and it's quite romantic.
