What is morning erection?

When I wake up in the morning, I see that my penis is hard. I believe that many men often have this situation. Many people think that this is the main manifestation of their strong sexual ability. Sometimes I worry whether I am not good enough if I don’t have morning erection in the morning. What does morning erection mean for men?

Morning erection is a normal physiological phenomenon for men. It is because before waking up in the morning, the bladder is filled with urine, and the pressure in the bladder increases, which causes stimulation, causing the penis to become hard in a subconscious reflex. It is a penis erection caused by the reflex function of the human body. Of course, early puberty and lust can also cause penis erection, but these are manipulated by ideas and are caused by human sexual impulses.

What is the purpose of having a morning erection?

Morning erections can indicate that the bladder is full of urine and that you need to prepare to pee. After going to the bathroom, morning erections will disappear.

Lack of morning erections may be a sign of erectile dysfunction. Generally speaking, morning erections can be used as a marker of erectile function, as opposed to psychological disorders that affect erections while awake. However, scientific research shows that mental health disorders (such as severe depression) can also affect morning erections, such as being unable to get an erection in a too noisy environment.

So why do many men's morning erections disappear? There are many reasons, not necessarily caused by impotence. For example, if the bladder stores too much urine, the pressure in the bladder increases and causes stimulation, causing the male genitals to become hard subconsciously, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, the strength of this kind of hardening varies and is almost not enough for sexual intercourse. Morning erections are a normal physiological need for men, but due to individual differences, there will be certain changes. Men must not judge the level of male sexual function based on this alone.
