Why do men get morning wood?

Question

Why do men get morning wood?

Answer 1

Just in case we don't wake up alone...

Answer 2

It is a common myth that morning erections are caused by a full bladder. This is untrue.

While the reason for morning erections is unknown, we do know that the erections are closely associated with REM sleep (the time in the night when you dream and brain activity changes). These erections are also associated with an increase in heart rate. It isn’t known for sure if the erections are a result of the other physiological changes, more research is required.

One guess is that these erections are the bodies way of making sure everything is in good working order.  

Answer 3

There have been many debates as to why a morning erection is present.

Some say it's from erotic dreams or thoughts while sleeping; yes, we still think while we are asleep.

Others say it happens during REM sleep patterns; this is where most dreaming occurs.

Some say it is from a full bladder pressing against the prostate.

What we do know for sure is that men with ED do not get any or as many morning erections; furthermore, morning erections seem to decrease with age.

So to answer your question, there is no scientific research that has proven the cause of morning erections.

Answer 13

Some men get "morning wood" as it's called because of a sexual dream or the friction of thier clothes against thier genitals while sleeping. Sometimes during the night, they have a rush of hormones, which results in an erection. It may also be caused by the fact that they have to urinate and the pressure causes them to become erect, closing off the bladder.There really are many reasons for it, but these are the main ones. Hope this helps.
