Men sleep with erection

Our impression of penis erection is that it occurs during sex, but in fact, many times the penis may become erect without the person involved knowing it. For example, when a man is sleeping, his penis may become erect. If you find this, you don't need to worry about it, because when our sympathetic nerves are excited or the penis is stimulated by the environment during the day, it will become excited and erect at this quiet time at night.

Why do penises sometimes become erect during sleep?

Our internal organs are controlled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, and the sexual organs are no exception. Penile erection is controlled by the sacral parasympathetic nerves. When the parasympathetic nerves are excited, the penis will erect. Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves have a certain tension (i.e., weak and continuous excitement), and they oppose each other like seesaws. When the sympathetic nerves are excited, the parasympathetic nerves are relatively inhibited. During the day, under various stimuli from the environment, the sympathetic nerves are relatively dominant; at night when you are quiet and sleeping, especially during parasympathetic sleep, the parasympathetic nerves are dominant, and there will be erections of the male penis and congestion of the female genitals. There are two sayings in the folk saying: "Men pick up their pens at midnight, and women's lotus flowers bloom at midnight." This shows that our ancestors had already observed this physiological phenomenon.

How to protect your genital health

1. Be lenient, not oppressive

The standard reference value of normal male semen was 120 million sperm per milliliter in the late 1980s, but now it is only 20 million per milliliter; one in six couples of reproductive age has infertility problems; the significant decrease in male sperm count and infertility are closely related to unhealthy lifestyles. For example, sitting on a soft sofa or driving for a long time will cause his private parts to be compressed, which will squeeze the blood supplying arteries, block the venous confluence, and squeeze and deform the genitals, which will inevitably affect their functions. Experts suggest that men should not sit on a soft sofa for a long time, and should move for 15 to 20 minutes after driving for two hours. Regularly do perineal contraction exercises twice a day for ten minutes each time. This can not only promote local blood circulation, but also have a powerful aphrodisiac effect.

2. Be breathable, not closed

Men's underwear should be soft and breathable. It is not advisable to wear tight underwear. It is best not to wear jeans. Instead, wear loose pants to cool down and allow air to pass through. In addition, you may wish to sleep naked, which can make your private parts enjoy a rare comfortable feeling in the quiet night.

3. Be clean, not dirty

Men should develop a habit of washing their lower body with warm water before going to bed, but be careful not to use too hot water. When washing, pay attention to the order, and the direction of scrubbing should be from top to bottom, from front to back, that is, wash the penis and scrotum first, and then wash the anus. Prepare a separate soft towel for wiping. If the foreskin is too long and you are afraid of surgery, you should be more diligent and daily cleaning is essential. Every time you wash, you should turn up the foreskin and thoroughly clean the smegma.
