Why Do Men Wake Up In The Morning With An Erection?


You must be referring to nocturnal tumescence! Or do you mean Private Willie Is Playing Reveille, or perhaps Morning Glory? There are many names for this morning starter, but only one good explanation for its presence.


These erections are experienced in the REM (rapid eye movement) phase of sleep. REM sleep is more frequent just before waking up.


Erections can also happen at other times without any stimulus. There is no scientific reason why these spontaneous erections always seem to happen in the most embarrassing places (parties, holidays, movies, weddings, funerals).
