Morning wood troubles

---

muahahah......would solve the problem tho

Morning wood is caused by wanting to pee. Your body does not want you to pee in the bed as it has been taught not to be. So the body makes your penis errect as when it is errect you cannot pee. So when you wake up take a pee, and it should be gone

_Morning wood is caused by wanting to pee. _

That is so not true. Completely false.

Well I take it back.. kind of. A full bladder can contribute to morning erections but are not necessarily the root cause of the erection. Often, higher testosterone levels in the morning and the relaxed state of waking trigger the erections. You don't have to have a full bladder to have morning erections.

I'm not saying you're wrong (I have no idea), but if you make an affirmative statement, you have to support it. Find evidence that sdp is not God.Seriously, it's an interesting question. If you can find some info on it, it'd be good.

It's hard to find legit/official sites with reputable info. I've seen it both ways but I'll start with these links.

The reason I say it's false is because I don't necessarily have a full bladder when waking with an erection although it can certainly contribute to the erection.

Those links are have some sensible-sounding info, although I'd be surprised if there actually is a medical study on the subject. Part of the confusion is that the kidneys pretty much shut down while you're asleep (or they're supposed to), and they often start cranking as soon as you wake up, so it's not easy to tell which came first, the erection or the full bladder.

I agree with sdp - a full bladder is not what causes nocturnal erections. Higher testosterone levels which increase as we sleep, is the cause.

Like sdp, I've woken up with morning wood many times and did not have a full bladder, and did not have to pee. I forgot where the articles were that I read, but it is also true that nocturnal erections usually only occur during REM sleep, and the erections can last longer than 45 minutes at a time. In a good night's sleep, it estimated that a guy is erect about 40% of the time he is asleep.

Morning wood is simply when you happen to wake up in the middle of one of these erection cycles that happen throughout the night. Nothing to do with having to pee. It is a common theory because most have to pee when they wake up in the morning, and it does seem like the more we have to pee when waking up, the more hard we are, but it is simply coincidence.

First thing I do if I know Im not the first up in the morning is go take a piss so it goes down. Otherwise I just walk around til it goes away.

I too agree with sdp. Even if I nap, i will get an erection.
But, to the topic at hand, boxer briefs or boxers with a button fly will help. Usually mine (erection) just goes away as soon as I start walking, so maybe get up when no one is in the room.
