I have been somewhat sedated by a drug I take at night and have noticed that with this deep slumber I can get quite strong nocturnal erections. This is despite being pretty much sexually dead the rest of the time, flexing my erection at least lets me know there is some life down there. Anyone else get this? Is it due to REM sleep?
I quite often wake up with stiff snake, but i couldnt get an unassisted day time stiffy if my life depended on it. Ive posted this somewhere else…i cant work it out. Does it suggest it is a mental problem, cause im pretty sure its not.
I’m living the same experience guys…awesome nocturnal erections with a slight morning erection which fades quickly.But zero daytime/spontaneous erections and forget about a sexual erection without popping a Levitra/Viagra first.
I don’t understand what’s going on…Why am I impotent but yet I have nocturnals?My guess is something is messed up with NO and perhaps excess PDE-5 enzyme.This would explain why pills help.Does anyone(Mew) know if nocturnal erections are controlled by the same hormonal/enzyme factors as sexual erections?Thanks for any help in understanding this.
I have experienced this too Luckfax, I notice that when I get good REM sleep my penis will go through phases of having good erections. When I have shitty sleep it’s flaccid all through the night, and the morning.
Im going to start taking cialis before bed. I gotta get some blood to my wang before it falls off.
Hardly slept last night but when I did had a hardon that lasted until I woke up…at least lets me know there’s some life in the ole finasterided fella…
Possibly the body has more available energy in its resting state to worry about things like normal sex hormone function, production and reception.
Im pretty sure i read a thread here recently which explained how nocturnal and morning erections are triggered by something different than sexual erections, ie a different hormone, or something along those lines…
My viagra soft tabs just arrived today, going to try my first quarter tablet before bed tonight and see how i go.
Whatever it is responsible for nocturnal/morning erections is kind of irelevant to my possible point of the body having more available energy while asleep.
I wanted to share a strange observation with everyone.On a night when I masturbate,before sleeping,I end up getting massive erections throughout the night.I mean these erections are damn hard to the point of waking me up.The strange thing is that I can’t get a proper erection to masturbate and then this ends up happening later in the night.My guess is that the masturbation might cause a surge in free Test levels and we know(as discussed in a previous posting) that free T is behind nocturnal erections.
I’m pretty sure that the mechanism behind nocturnal erections has very little to do with “sex”. When I was a child, I used to have super hard nocturnal erections all night long, but I had no sexual thought or any sexual feeling during the day. Those came with puberty.
It’s odd. My nocturnal erections and even spontaneous erections had actually begun to return somewhat a couple months ago, and I was starting to have a little hope. My sex drive had come back slightly too. But since I started having this new episode with my prostate flaring up even further, all these erections have subsided.
