morning woods

[dyablo]

I have become very worried as I read in one post of everyday morning erections. I dont have them and havent had them in more than a year, yet when I masturbate I get very good erections, especially this days with my new routine. But my doubt is: Is it normal for someone not to have any morning erections?

Morning erections are caused by two main factors.


Built up urine in your penis from the night of sleeping

and

You have more testosterone during the mornings (not true for every man though)


I wouldn't worry about morning wood the erections that count are when you get with a lady or when you're jerking it if you are good and solid then that's all that matters.

The same as me except I no longer do P.E. I haven't done it since early last year.

I rarely get morning erections now either, well I had a morning erection once last week in about months it seems. I thought it may of been because I am prone to masturbating a lot and I have been making more of an effort to cut down on that (although not getting spantaneous hardons during the day at some point is rare though). Masturbating less has had no increase or return in my morning erections it seems.

It can't be terosterone shortage as I have a high sex drive, or at least just over a normal sex drive.

I don't think there is anything to worry about with not getting morning . As I said though I rarely get morning wood like you do it sounds like.

So basically if your erections aref fine and you can get a erection okay then I don't think there is any problem.

I get morning wood almost every single morning. Ha, sometimes I have to take a piss in the bathtub so I don't get urine all over the toilet.rofl

I like bending over. One morning my girlfriend was in the bathroom while I was pissing with a hardon and she asked, "What the hell are you doing?" I just told her, "This is how guys piss when they're hard." rofl

She laughed at spurts for a few days afterward.

I think morning woodies come and go during your life. I do believe a serious strict jelqing routine will help you get them if it is important to you. I agree with the other posters.

I think there are two causes of morning wood--one, a full bladder, the other, if you awake at a certain point during the REM state. If you're deep into a dream, not necessarily sexual, and you awake at that point, it is much more likely you'll have a boner.

The question is: Where do you stand when you have to piss and you have this huge woody? How far away from the toilet, I mean. This is a time when it would be great to have a urinal in your bathroom.

??

Testosterone is highest in most people around 7 to 8 AM, lowest twelve hours later. (Although, oddly, strength seems to be highest at around 3 PM)

Which is like a modern age joke on some men, .... come home from the labours of the day (stress) - at your lowest point of testosterone (8 PM) - and then jump the SO with quality wood? (!)

7 AM is also supposed to have the highest number of heart attacks for the day. (Heart rate? Hydromaxmmm...)

Anyway, ...

It's not from built up urine.

First off, it happens several times over the course of sleep. If one wakes up during one of the Up cycles, -- (you notice that) you've got wood. Unless there's physical damage it happens repeatedly all the time.

Up is the (healthy) penis' natural state. There's a constrictor valve to -keep- blood out of there. rofl
(and then there's a secondary-stage response involving production of NO directly from the endothelial cells)

Spontaneous nocturnal erections, (NPT - nocturnal penile tumescence) seems to be triggered by dreams. There have been several studies 'confirming' this since the 1960s, but some of the more recent studies have been performed to look at the difference in response to the different cycles of REM sleep (dreaming).

That is ... there's a correlation between dreaming and night wood, but it's a loose one that can proceed or lag the reading of the REM activity. The offset seems to becomes less the longer one has been asleep.

Other studies on this ^ have found a tighter correlation to heart rate -during- the REM sleep. A calm dream (or calm segment of a longer dream) may not cause night wood, but if the dream increases heart rate then apparently up goes the johnson.

I find that unlikely for all cases, ... if the heart rate was increased due to a night terror it seems unlikely the body's response to that would be arousal. They could do another study on victims of chronic nightmares and see if their heart rate correlation still ... stands up.

Which is not to say they're wrong, ... just that apparently most dreams .. increasingly across the sleep period..., after your brain works out all the stress over what an ass your boss is, etc, the dreams turn more and more to sexual content, higher heart rate (not tied to 'physical' danger like being chased by wolves or whatever) , arousal , wood.

I have become very worried as I read in one post of everyday morning erections. I dont have them and havent had them in more than a year,

You might just be waking up during a down cycle.

The cheapy test for proper physical function is supposed to be wrapping several postal stamps around your penis so they make a band that: won't fall off accidentally, -- but also is so small that they will break under the expansion of an erection -- indicating proper physical function during the previous sleep.

yet when I masturbate I get very good erections,

You're fine.

Thanx a lot guys I have definetely become more relaxed, although these morning erections dont have to be a 100 perecent erection do they? I mean because I sometime wake up with a semi erect penis , is that the same?

This is pretty weird I usually hardly get any morning erections, unless I drink a huge amount the night before. I have been avoiding masturbating though for a few days and now all of a sudden my morning wood is coming back. Morning wood that takes anywhere between 5-15 minutes to go down even and I don't especially feel that horny. I think masturbating a lot has the effect because I know If I lay off my cock for a longer time my erections are harder and last for ages, pretty much everlasting hadrons.
