Morning wood

---

what exactly is morning wood?

when a guy wakes up with an erection

this happens every morning??

for me anyway. not going to dream of speaking for every guy on the planet, but id assume the same for them as well

Most mornings

not every morning. if i have a good dream, definitley.

Happens frequently for many of us, although not particularly everyday. It may be associated with a dream but chances are dreams are not involved. Our body using the sleeping hours to keep things in working order and doing "system checks" and such. Our penis needs blood flow to be healthy so at different points while we sleep our body causes erections to maintain the overall health of the penis, often this overlaps with waking up. Also, sometimes needing to pee will cause an erection and that is usually the case first thing in the morning as well.

In reply to: this happens every morning?? for me, Yes majority of the time.

i used to get em often,not so much anymore.

About 90% of the time I wake up with morning wood. So not every morning, but definitely most. Guys get nocturnal erections everynight too. We all get about 4 or 5 erections when we sleep (usually in the REM, dream cycle), each lasting 15-30 minutes or more. When you add it up, we're actually erect for at least 1/3 of the time we're asleep. Pretty cool huh?So even if you don't wake up with morning wood, you still probably had several erections a few hours earlier in your sleep.

lol. just for fun, you can test if you have night wood or not. cut a strip of paper smaller than your girth and wrap it around your penis. use a small peice of tape to hold the ends of the paper together. Go to sleep and if you wake up and the paper is torn, you know you had night wood even if you didn't wake up with morning wood.Personally, I've never done this, but I heard about this test from a show back in the day.

i know when i have morning wood it usually means i need morning sprinkle .

most of the time and i am realy horny lol

so if you sleep next to a guy ull see his erections through the night? lol sry guys but thats gotta be pretty embarassing

There's actually a well-published test that is similar to the paper technique and used to see if erectile dysfunction is physical or mental. It involves taking a roll of stamps (the old kind that are perforated, not the new adhesive kind), wrapping a few around your penis, and securing with a small piece of tape. If you had an erection during the night, the stamps would tear at the perforations. This would prove to men that had erection problems that they were capable of having an erection but were mentally blocking it from occuring somehow.

How long does morning wood last?

depends if you encourage it when you wake up :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Why would it be embarassing? Its a normal body function, we all understand it and if we're sleeping and don't know it, then we can't control it and it certainly doesn't mean that we're interested in someone that may be in the same room when it happens. Sorry about the rant, its just that my roomate and I in college used to just either ignore it or laugh about it...no big deal (no pun intended) lol

In reply to: Why would it be embarassing? well alot of resons. say your taking a nap on the couch and u have one. then u wake up to some one laughing and asking if you had a great dream. Or your in a motel / hotel with the family on a trip i don't want them seeing it pooking up the sheets grrrrrrrrr and those morning when mom runs in the room to wake up up! Aurggggggg embarassing!!!

OK, yep...those situations might cause embarassment but again....we don't really have any control over it. I actually helped a buddy of mine out while he was in the hospital. It was one of those mornings, he was really sick and we were working in shifts staying with him. He was sacked out sleeping and had removed the covers....I knew his Mom was due in anytime and he was beginning to develop some wood...I just covered him up to prevent him from being seen like that....I hope it was the right thing to do...I would have wanted him to do that for me in that situation.
