Is morning wood a thing all guys get?

Question

Do all guys get morning wood/wake up horny? My sister's boyfriend is a Corrections Officer in a male prison (for real). He says he often does count in the morning. The inmates get woken up and pretty much have to go straight to their doors and wait for him to come past and then say they are present so he can count them. He was saying as a joke that on a typical morning a good 75% of them will be "standing to attention" as he put it. I told him that was gross and his response was: "Why is it gross? It's just nature. It's not like they can help it and it's not like they want it."

Does that actually happen with most guys? With my ex-boyfriend we often used to have morning sex but I don't remembered him being hard every time he woke but. Maybe he was? Can some guys confirm either way for me please. Was he being serious or just joking?

It's not a thing that all guys get. I'm sure men with erectile dysfunction don't experience the morning wood. Still, it's definitely common for men in general. I work in the hospital and during my night shift experiences when working with sleeping male patients, they're usually erect when they're sleeping. The lightweight sheets that the hospitals use, compared with the patients' equally lightweight gowns do a terrible job of hiding the tents they pitch. However, it's normal though. Sometimes, when they wake up at night when I'm taking their vitals, they notice their erection and are sometimes embarrassed about it, but I tell them not to worry about it because it's normal and, if anything, a sign of good health in some ways. I say that because men with a lot of health problems usually have trouble getting erect. My fiancee also gets morning wood. His dick is often hard as a brick in the morning. A morning quickie usually takes care of that.

He was being real about that. Pay attention to guys in the early morning and you will see almost every male gets a boner while sleeping. My husband now (45 years old) gets hard as soon as he falls asleep. Why this happens, I don't know. But it's fun to see this happen. MMMmmm it's real.

Not all guys, and not always for the guys who do. But most guys, most of the time, yes. There are a lot of reasons why it might not happen, but essentially, it's the body running through a systems check while you're asleep, and of the the last systems is making sure the erectile function of the penis still works.

I get them most of the time, yes. Especially after a good sleep. I can't recall having morning wood when I slept like garbage or not enough hours. But I get them so many times, I can't really recall when I am not getting them, other than having only like 2 hours of sleep

Its very common for men to get nocturnal erections, it is normal and there is nothing they can do about it.  As they get older, and have less testosterone it doesn't happen as much.

cheapshotbob · Answer

yes it is and though girls never hear about it but while your sleeping the guy goes in the bathroom and wacks it down and it grows back before you wake up >_> XD

RickPen · Answer

It's common and normal, assuming the person has a reasonably functional penis and no injuries that prevent bloodflow or nerve sensation. It's an autonomic function. Also, an erection does not immediately mean a man is "horny." Somehow that myth persists.

Our testosterone levels is at its highest when we awaken in the morning. For many guys, that makes Mr. Elephant stand up.

It's actually something that we inherited many millions of years ago from an early human species Homo Erectus. It's like a kickstand on a bike that keeps us from falling out of bed... or a tree or a cave... It really works if you are turned the right way.

Dargil · Answer

Morning wood is mostly caused by needing to pee. Erotic dreams take a smaller part.

Don-_-Don · Answer

Yes, it's a normal thing, and it's actually a good thing.

ColHathi · Answer

I imagine he was serious, but like he said, we can't help it and it doesn't mean we're necessarily even horny. I don't get why you'd say that it's gross either. Sounds a little offensive.

_SOARER · Answer

Yes I get erections every morning. Its a sign of good health. I dont get morning erections if I am very ill or exhausted.
Because I work night shifts my boner schedule is a bit off. I normally get one at work around 5:45am exactly haha

Before, I would always have them around 6:30am when I woke up.
