When do boys get an erection?

Erection is a physiological phenomenon that every normal male will experience. Under normal circumstances, an erection will only occur when a male has sexual desire. And after an erection occurs, most men need to relieve their desire in time. However, the time when men have an erection varies. So generally speaking, at what age will a male gradually experience an erection?

Normally, when a child is twelve or thirteen years old, the genitals begin to develop. Generally, children will have sexual impulses. Some children will choose to masturbate their penises on TV or in books, or use their hands. However, this is a bad behavior and children must not be allowed to do this.

When does a man get an erection?

Men will have erections when they are sexually stimulated, when they want to urinate, or when they are sleeping. The latter two have nothing to do with sex.

Men can easily get an erection when they are sexually stimulated. Sexual stimulation includes sexual fantasies, heterosexual stimulation, and stimulation from pornographic pictures or texts, such as seeing naked pictures of women or having physical contact with beautiful women.

Of course, men will also have spontaneous erections during sleep. Usually, they will have erections without any conditions around 4-5 am before getting up in the morning. It has nothing to do with sex, but is usually caused by the urge to urinate.

1. Morning Erection

A year's plan starts with spring, and a day's plan starts with the morning. We also know that men can get an erection only when they are sexually stimulated or stimulated in some way, but there is also a conscious and natural erection. The most obvious is that the penis often gets erect before waking up in the morning, which is medically called a morning erection. Specifically, it means that the penis of a man gets an erection unconsciously between 4 and 7 in the morning.

Many men wake up in the morning and find that their penis is hard because of holding back urine. They can't help but feel happy, thinking that this is a sign of strong sexual ability. If they find that it is soft one day, they will worry that they are no longer able to have sex. If you find discomfort during sex, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

2. Nocturnal erections

It is easier to get an erection at night than in the morning. Many men have natural erections when they are asleep. Although the number of erections decreases with age, young men generally have 7-8 erections per night. Healthy and normal elderly people have about 2-3 erections per night.

There are many reasons for nocturnal erections. According to surveys, some people believe that night is the peak period for testicles to produce and secrete androgen, and that erection is the result of increased androgen levels in the blood. Others believe that nocturnal erections are the result of the active autonomic nervous system at night, and the body's own maintenance and repair functions.

How long does a normal male erection last?

The normal male sexual response process refers to the complex, continuous and complete physiological process after a male is sexually stimulated, from the arousal of sexual desire, the engorgement and erection of the penis, the arrival of orgasm, the accumulation of sexual tension to ejaculation, and then returning to a calm state.

Penile erection is the most important function in male sexual function. In a complete sexual life, the duration of erection can also be understood as the time of ejaculation. The results of a one-time foreign survey showed that the time of vaginal ejaculation of 491 randomly sampled men: most people (70%) were within 7 minutes, and only about 1/4 of them could exceed 10 minutes.

It is normal for an erection to last no more than five minutes during sexual intercourse. Of course, if it lasts less than two minutes, it is considered premature ejaculation and requires treatment.

In the past, there were some misconceptions that a long erection duration is the standard of a strong man, and the longer the erection duration, the stronger it is. However, it is not known that a long erection will not only cause local discomfort due to the long-term congestion of the prostate and perineum, but also lead to prostatitis and even damage erectile function. On the other hand, sex is a matter between husband and wife. If the female partner is not used to the long erection duration, it may cause the female partner to be disgusted and cause sexual indifference over time. Therefore, a long erection duration is actually harmful and has no benefits.
