Heh, just had this discussion with a friend and she was pretty amazed to find out that the majority of mornings a guy wakes up with a 'WMD' in their pants.

So why is it so?

Rise and shine.

Your penis is rubbing against the mattress constantly as you're sleeping so it gets erected. No secret...

IIRC, it's because REM sleep often induces erections, though I forget why (I recall hearing it was a circulation issue, though, somehow related to cleaning out or filtering the blood through the tissue or some such). Since the majority of REM sleep takes place in the early morning hours, you're more likely to wake up during a REM episode or shortly thereafter, and thus with a woody. :D

My mattress has special powers. Don't know about yours.

So if you sleep on your back, what happens?

I wouldn't know. I never sleep on my back. I'm always curled up in a fetal position like the bitch that I am.

The bastard doesnt go away for ages either.

Always wear a t-shirt when confronting parents in the morning. Let that be the lesson of the day.

Doing that will make you lethargic for the rest of the day.

Good way to get a good nights sleep though.
 
yeah, morning wood is a normal part of the REM cycle. Dont know the exact cause...something about relaxation levels... And you are most likely to wake from/after REM phase so you are more likely to wake with teh wood. =)

Sleep/Sleepy feeling stimulates you sexually more than being awake does. Also, a ful bladder built up while sleeping I think is a second cause. The bladder pushes on a gland, but I'm not sure.

Not true. :) This is a common misconception, though. Think about it-- have you ever gotten an erection during the day when your bladder was about to burst?

Just get iron in your diet or something, I've never been lethargic all day from that.

If by "rub one out" you mean "masturbate" (guess I'm not up on my slang :p), then you should know that you're not supposed to masturbate and/or have sex with a morning erection from what I've heard. I recall someone writing in to Men's Health magazine asking about that.

I never got an instruction book with MY penis.

Actually I have had erections from needing to pee and when I peed the erection would go away. I remember asking about it in 6th grade Sex Ed class. Needing to pee can cause an erection.

Yes. At least, it's extremely easy to get sprung when you gotta piss. The slightest rub or thought can push it too far. I try to keep an empty bladder when there's an occasion you just can't afford a mishap. And in bed you're completely relaxed, rubbing against matresses, and free to have your mind wander. All a mixture of these imo.

I don't think you're ever technically "supposed" to masturbate.

Man, you guys are freaks! ;) :p


Anyway, a quick google turned up the following quote from this site:

http://www.sleepmedservices.com

There is a commonly held, but incorrect, belief that morning erections are due to a full urinary bladder


So who knows...

Nobody has brought up the blood pressure thing. I think when you're sleeping/relaxed, your blood would also more easily pool in your midsection away from your elevated head.

I've only had morning wood when I was at the strip club the night before. Actually it's worse when I dance a lot the night before, what with all the bumping and the grinding. I usually don't get it though, you horny bastards.

A better quesiton is... do you ever stop getting morning wood. Or is this a puberty thing?

I think its healty to get it. Not getting it for a period of time could be a sign of something not functioning to its full extent.

I'm with the piss thing. Whenever I have a hard on in the morning I find my self needing to go to the bathroom immediately after.

Hang out with Steve.
When I woke up this morning
I was feeling mighty good.
My baby understood had to do what she should
lying near a pile of wood.
Laying it on some,
playing with it some
when I, I woke up with wood.

I was lying there thinking 'bout basketball
trying not to lose my mind
my baby came to help and I let out a yell,
she grabbed me from behind.
Laying on it some,
playing with it some
when I, I woke up with wood.

Beauty queens fall in trances,
debutantes lose their furs.
But it felt so good from where they stood,
they were working on a pile of wood.
Laying on it some,
playing with it some
when I, I woke up with wood.

Forget about that, the real issue here is why do chicks know all about and feel free to talk about the natural functions of their sexual organs all the time but are completely clueless about men's? It seems to be a common idea that guys only get erections if they are fantasizing or being perverts/leering at women. It's kinda dumb and the lack of understanding puts a lot of uneeded concern on a lot of teenage guys about getting into awkward situations, especially when the girls get touchy-flirty

...Why aren't you supposed to masturbate in the morning? I do it once before I go to bed, and once before I get up. I must be a stud..

Regular ejaculation significantly reduces the possibility of prostate cancer later in life. So if you're not having sex regularly, it's a good idea to masturbate.

Morning wood occurs because men have twice the normal amount of testosterone flowing through their bloodstream after sleeping. I don't, however, know why.

First tragedy, then farce.
you know what really sucks... when you have to piss like a race horse AND have morning wood. You have to do a fucking headstand to piss.

The typical morning erection is just one of those things I've gotten used to in my 22 years of being a guy, it's the spontaneous erections I occasionally get throughout the rest of the day that annoy me. I'm talking about the ones that aren't brought on by the usual means, but rather the times it just kind of spring up to go "pay attention to me, bitch". It seems to happen most when I'm just kind of spacing out at work, doing much of nothing, borderline about to take a nap, and BOINNNG, guess who? Generally this will occurs seconds before somebody walks in and I need to stand up. What's worse is when it decides to stick directly out, then I have try the ole' yank it up trick while nobody is looking in a pathetic attempt to make my boner less apparent. When you have your shirt tucked in, it is an especially bad thing.

As for the morning thing, I usually just squirt one out if I'm not running late - makes waking up in a time that ends with 'AM' a little more bareable. :D

Gravity is a myth, the Earth SUCKS!
i find that taking a piss makes the boner go away. (although it can be messy)
