Why do many of us wake up in the morning with a hard on.?

Question

Like I know its got a lot to do with busting for a pee pee but what does that have to do with it?

Answer 1

Most healthy men wake up in the morning with an erection. This is normal and it's fairly common. Men have several erections a night as part of their sleep cycle. Many times they wake up and find they are still erect. The fact you have to p**s doesn't have much to do with it.

Answer 2

I read somewhere that when your bladder fills up, it expands and touches something which causes you to get hard. That's why after urination it usually goes away.

Answer 3

Because we are lucky.

Answer 4

An erection is just a collection of blood in the spongy tissue of the the p***s.  A circular muscle at the base tightens when a man is aroused. It partially compresses the blood vessels to the p***s.  This causes a tourniquet effect similar to arm veins swelling when a tourniquet is applied for a blood test..

A full bladder also does the same thing.  That is why the erection goes away after urination.
