Is my brother supposed to have an erection while sleeping, especially if he's in the Air Force?

So my big brother is an Airman in the Air Force and is on leave for 3 weeks and came back home from his base in Italy to visit me and my parents. We haven't seen him in over a year. He's 21 and I'm 16. So he went to bed early cause he was real jet lagged from his flight. Anyway, he fell asleep in bed in his boxers and shirtless (he's always slept in just his boxers) while watching TV. When I went to bed a few hours later, it was still on, so I'm assuming he fell asleep without turning his TV off, and since his bedroom shares a wall with mine, I could hear it. So I went in his room quickly to turn the TV off since it was pretty loud, and I noticed my bro had a really big boner. His comforter looked like a tent because of it. Is this normal, or does the fact he's in the Air Force make a difference? Why would a guy have an erection when he's knocked out fast asleep? I don't get it, I thought guys only got erections when they have sex. Oh and should I tell my brother I saw him with a b*ner, or will he probably get embarrassed about it, or should I instead just focus more on spending time with him for the next 3 weeks since he's gotta go back to Italy? I don't know when I'll next get to see my big brother again after this visit.

  • ohhh bless lol this is very normal he's maybe having a dream about some girl of sexy dream men can have erections at anyyyy time if some thing trigers it the see or fell somthing they like this very norman and the fact that he's awayy in the airforce is hard for him he will not come in contact with any woman so he will be extra sexy when he gets back

    • The air force has women its not just all guys, he will be in contact with lots of women

    • This is totaly normal

  • It is normal. It happens to every guy.. read up on it. and don't mention it 1. it would be awkward cos you're his sister and 2. he might get embarassed. but overal, just enjoy your time with him, but it is completely normal, guys get them in their sleep all the time, it is proven.

  • Guys always get boners off and on in their sleep, something to do with blood circulation. Don't make a big deal out of it.

  • I can't imagine what being in the Air Force has to do with it. As for having an erection in bed, that would not be unnormal. Guys get erections for all different reasons -- sexual situations, sexual dreams, have to pee, etc.

    Be happy he is home.

  • LOL, IS IT BECAUSE HE'S IN THE AIR FORCEEE, HAHAHAHAHAAAA.

    Yeah, its normal for lads to get stiffies in the night. Some lads jack off in their sleep, too. Its nothing to do with flying fight planes, LOL.

    • Haha I know right :P I love this question............. :D

  • Hell I'm 52 and at 51 my ex would use me while i slept. she said i sported wood all night. If the wind blows i pitch a tent. Keep that story to yourself. Enjoy your time with him while he's home.

  • haha you looked at your brothers erection

  • This is normal, it happens to guys when they sleep. It is also the reason for the phenomenon known as "morning wood". You should not tell him, that would be embarrassing.

  • erections dont necessarily mean arousal any guy will tell u that

  • He was probably dreaming about having sex!! Since you're 16 he was probably dreaming about YOU!! If he woke up and found that you were naked and had pulled down his shorts to suck his D; He probably would have thought this is some kind of WONDERFUL DREAM and would have (F☆CKED) every hole in your body that night!!

  • Suck him off

  • This is normal every morning when he wake up 🙄 but i don't know its up to u... You want to tell him or not. What u want? You want a hot discussion about sex🙄 or something else 😐 just forget about it.. because if u tell him.. i don't know what he reacts 🤔 he will talk you openly or he will feel embarrassed

  • This is common among men as a whole, and it would be better not to mention it, some guys are sensitive about close family knowing about hem having boners. And it isn't only when they have sex, they get aroused a lot more often then girls realize, it depends on each guy but it is normal.

  • U should grab hold of it and see if he likes it

  • Tell him you were turning his tv off and couldnt help but see he was at full mast. lie and tell him he was saying your name. Tell him you want to experiment and know he will treat you right instead of the punks at school. tell him you won't tell anyone and ask him to let you suck on it. take your shirt off get on your knees to show you're serious my brother was 24 when I (17) finally made him see

  • Guys can get an erection at any time for literally no reason at all

  • no, this is normal i did 3and half years in marines. in high school use to use a bandana to hold my johnson down out of view and due to that i couldn't wear shorts due to length issues. but i was a very odd 16-18 yr old though most the girls i knew would hang all over me and try odd things i think to get me to sleep with them which i waited until i was a marine and was same week we were getting married. anyways girls use to try tons of ways to get me hard and see if they could push me into giving in. needless to say i was a master at breaking them they however could not keep up with me i never gave in until after school and boot camp to the girl i was marring 7 days later.

    my current wife (number 3) still tells everyone how i promised not to take advantage of her when i was 16 and she was 14 and her and another girl (2nd x wife) slept at my house all us in same bed and i refused to give in even though they ran around better part of 2 days in my button up silk shirts and nothing no bra or panties no shorts. they did try just about everything short of pulling it out and using it themselves.

    but to answer your question yes its normal not only that but most men can't control it. don't get me wrong i can't always though its fun to flex for my wife (at time) and make it go away i think all the torture i put it through in school made it so i had better control of it. not complete just far better then most unfortunately that also means girls can't give me oral or hand jobs 99 percent time.

  • Well... Personally I think that since he just got back from his base in Italy and you Are a good amount younger than he is I think that you should go ahead and try to Spend as much time with him as possible and I don't know maybe (if you are into it AT ALL try and see if you could MAYBE/POSSIBLY get I don't know another glance at it either with (or without) him knowing it at all I mean but then again it's really (OBVIOUSLY) all up to you and what you want/choose to do with the time that you will have to spend with him there again. And shoot IF You ARE into/interested in seeing it all again I think you should TRY and see it again and/but this time Actually see it... I mean but shoot that's just my thoughts on the/your matter.

  • Is this a serious Q? It made me laugh so hard.
