Is it normal not to have morning wood?

[Anonymous]

I've only really had morning wood when I was between 13-15 after that it kinda just stopped and never have gotton it but been told it happens when I sleep but for the past 5 years I've never noticed it. I'm 20 now but my friends always say how they get it, and there the same age as me Is it normal not to get it at this age, should I go to the doctors?

I don't know if it's normal but maybe nothing to worry about as long as your libido/testosterone is fine.

I still get morning wood all the time in my 30s. Part of it might be because I sleep on my abdomen or side, rarely ever sleep on my back. My wife also says I'm kind of a violent sleeper, tossing and turning a lot. So there might be some friction down there in the middle of the night. :-D

That's worrying cause what if I get erectile dysfunction when I'm 30 if I'm like this now. Should I go to the gp and get my testosterone checked?

[ak666]

Perhaps it would not be a bad idea. But how about your libido in general? And do you have kind of the adrenaline, muscle mass? I'm not sure it's necessarily so bad to lack morning wood. In my case I sometimes wonder if it's just the way I sleep.

I feel very testosterone driven asides from the lack of morning wood.

[Asker]

You mean the way you sleep causes temporary effects or long term effects?

[ak666]

Then maybe no problem! Is there something you think might be unusual about your sleeping patterns? Maybe more of a light sleeper instead of a deep sleeper? Do you sleep on your back (I tend to sleep on side or belly)?

[ak666]

In my case I'm a very deep sleeper with vivid dreams (often sexual), and I also sleep on my belly and side and, according to my wife, toss and turn a lot in my sleep (which might result in some friction down there). So a combination of all of those might play a part in my frequent morning wood.

Everyone is different. I would not overthink it or worry. Sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I get them even after a night of having sex several times. Why would you want to stop jerking off just to maybe have a wet dream? Look you are normal and things work when you wank... so don't worry.

[Asker]

I've never had a wet dream before, and maybe masturbation is what's stopping me from having them

[summiter]

Jerking off will not affect your ability to have a wet dream. Some guys have them some do not... no big deal.

Boys I've known got their hormones somewhat under control by 20 or so. If you can get wood when you see someone that gets you excited then I wouldn't worry.

[Asker]

No I hardly get boners and when I do their semis I need to physical stimulate it to go full size:). Some of the men here are 30 and they still get it is why it's worrying

My boyfriend is having it constantly, I have to deal with it every morning

[MissMickey]

My boyfriend is about 50/50 on whether he wakes up with a hard-on or not.

Depends how otherwise sexually and non sexually vital you feel?

Can you identify any bad emotional, lifestyle, dietary or sexual habits that may be a factor? Maybe too much porn or masturbation? You engaging with life or more inward looking? Sometimes that can be a factor, especially if taken to extremes.

[Asker]

I feel very horny, and wank heaps but stopping as of today for maybe a month so I finally get my first wet dream 😃 I'm very happy and go gym and study at uni daily

[26ukdude]

I would say as long as you can still get it up when you want and get pleasure from sexual acts then it all good.
