Men, are morning erections a daily thing or it just happens sometimes?

Is it a full on erection or only semi erection. Curious question to know as the opposite gender.

Superb Opinion

  • Honestly, I think it's an alarm clock. We get a few throughout the night, and if we're in REM even if it pulls us out a little, we drift back to REM and it goes down. But at some point, when REM is finished recharging, the wood pops up and you are more aware of it in your sleep. At some point, I partially wake enough to realize I got morning wood and it's extra sensitive too, like really really wants to be played with. Like an alarm clock. Sleep cycle complete, and mr dicky is at 100% ready to rock, good morning!

Most Helpful Guy

  • Men naturally get erections throughout the night - they come and go as we sleep, but we often wake up at the end of a REM cycle, and we often still have an erection as a result. And when you have to pee, as you often do after not peeing for 8 hours or so, it's less likely to just go away on its own. So, perhaps not EVERY morning, but OFTEN. Maybe 4-5 days a week on average, I'd guess.

  • For me it is usually a daily thing. When I was a teenager it seemed like it would be hard all the time... especially at night. I get them even if I had sex or masturbated the night before. What have you noticed on guys when you woke up?

  • Not daily no and not always fully erect either it just happens randomly and can be semi or fully hard

  • If I jerk off before going to sleep I usually will wake up the next morning with an erection. Though sometimes it's because I went to sleep with a full bladder.

  • For me, daily - even when I wake from a short daytime nap.

    It's always a full on, verrry hard erection, every single time !

  • Just happens sometimes. Might be a sexy dream or it may be due to a full bladder.

  • For me it's not every morning but I'd say at least half the time at least. And it's not always a full erection when I wake up (although it undoubtedly was at some point previous in my sleep). Sometimes it's a partial erection.

  • not daily. but pretty regularly yes.
    sometimes depends if we get any action the night before or not. finding a willing partner to help take care of a random erection is the tricky part.

  • Almost daily. Sometimes very very hard but mostly just stiff. I normally masterbate if I have one. In my teens I rarely did not have one. Especially when my friend slept over.

  • Only sometimes. Some mornings I'm soft and good and some mornings it's hard which makes how I sleep pretty uncomfortable.

    • It's a full on erection normally.

  • To answer your question I have a better question do all women wake up every single day sexually arousec if not odds are guys don't either.
