But why do guys get turned on in the morning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the question, isn&#8217;t it? Is it because of what they dreamed about? Is it a health condition? Or is it just simply how men are made to be? Here are some answers for the curious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do guys get turned on in the morning?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, it&#8217;s important to know that a morning wood doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that you&#8217;re horny. It is one of the reasons, but there are other factors that can cause that too. Such as bladder or REM sleep. <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/staff\/5708-ryan-berglund?_ga=2.191803567.465207637.1657604099-326809328.1657604099&amp;_gl=1*htldff*_ga*MzI2ODA5MzI4LjE2NTc2MDQwOTk.*_ga_HWJ092SPKP*MTY1NzYwNDA5OS4xLjAuMTY1NzYwNDA5OS4w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Urologist Ryan Berglund<\/a> explained that during REM sleep, a male&#8217;s parasympathetic nervous system is more active. And a full bladder could press against and stimulate the sacral nerve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sacral nerve is part of the parasympathetic nervous system that controls erections. It\u2019s also responsible for things like digestion, getting rid of waste, and sexual arousal. It&#8217;s also active while you&#8217;re awake or asleep, which is why sometimes erections also happens during sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can morning wood cause erectile dysfunction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/staff\/5708-ryan-berglund?_ga=2.191803567.465207637.1657604099-326809328.1657604099&amp;_gl=1*htldff*_ga*MzI2ODA5MzI4LjE2NTc2MDQwOTk.*_ga_HWJ092SPKP*MTY1NzYwNDA5OS4xLjAuMTY1NzYwNDA5OS4w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Urologist Ryan Berglund<\/a>, erectile dysfunctions are multifactorial, it can be both physical and psychological, so it&#8217;s difficult to pinpoint what exactly is causing it. But, morning erections can help tell if it&#8217;s physical or psychological.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are always chances or risks. So if you&#8217;re experiencing or noticing symptoms of erectile dysfunction, you can go see a doctor or therapist trained to treat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Want to see it for yourself? <strong><strong><strong>Download&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/down-dating-18-hot-hookup\/id601174087\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DOWN hookup app<\/a>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/down-official\/id601174087\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IOS<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=down.date.hookup.app&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Dhome_gpbutton%26anid%3Dadmob\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Android<\/a>&nbsp;now and start flirting!<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It&#8217;s lasted for a while&#8230; should I be worried?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Morning wood or erections usually disappear a while after you wake up. But there is a condition where an erection lasts for more than four hours, it&#8217;s called Priapism. Priapism can result in permanent penile dysfunction. If you have similar symptoms, it would be wise to go check with your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Morning Erections Medical Course\" width=\"810\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tbdXSv6U5hk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Why Do Guys Get Turned On In The Morning?
