Morning wood

Khannie

How often do you wake up with a morning wood? And have you noticed whether anything affects it being there or not?

For me it varies week by week based on my diet believe it or not. If I'm dieting for any more than a week, morning wood go bye bye. Otherwise there's a good chance it's there. edit: I should add that I get them a lot more often since I got fit.

Kind of depends. I could be dreaming of something and wake up and it's there.

Other times I wake up and it's not. A couple of minutes later lying in the bed it is without my mind having to wander and think of such things.

Quite difficult to measure how often since its a common thing and Id barely give it a second thought. I might start counting from tomorrow :P

Ive never noticed/heard of anything that would affect frequency

5 or 6 times a week I'd say. sometimes it's the old morning full bladder "piss horn" and sometimes its the sexy dreams vibe. split about 50/50. I have noticed that if I stay up really late or am absolutely shattered they're guaranteed glass cutters? No idea why. When I was fitter they were better/worse. Though thats a fair few years back :)

Dieting definitely affects frequency. Your testosterone levels fall through the floor when you've been dieting a while. Of course they bounce back when you start eating maintenance calories again.

Every morning I have one of these.

Very annoying too as trying to go to the bathroom with and erection is not easy as you all know.

Lately I have been worried by how frequently I have to urinate

Madame Razz

It appears to be a very common and regular occurrence IMHO

Pretty much every single day.

happens frequently enough that I don't even take notice of it. Worst is when you wake up and need to go to the bathroom and you have one. It's at times like that I lay there and wonder "who exactly is running this body, it's bad enough they plumbed in the recreational facilities right next to the waste disposal, but whoever is looking after the scheduling should really be fired... I mean honestly!"

Usually early morning before i wake up, like today. I just rolled around on my stomach while still semi-asleep, properly woke up it was gone thankfully. Going to the loo is also a pain with them.

It really depends for me.

I am guaranteed morning wood if I have play the 5 knuckle shuffle when in bed just before I go to sleep.

Other than that it's hit and miss really. Piss-horns are a regular occurance too, but I don't consider that morning wood TBH, because if you are lying next to a woman with a horn like that, you know you have to get up and piss before you get some morning glory.

Eating too many french fancies are a common diagnosis for the plank of wood in the early hours.

I figure it's a systems test. If that's not up,no point getting up.

BankMan

Most days I reckon. Hangover guarantees an appearance (plus a very randy bankman)

For me it'd be most days

Crotchety

The only way to beat the horn is with a scalding red hot hammer and a poker.

irish_stickman

seanie2

THe piss horn definately bad.. how do you explain to someone who walks in to the bathroom and you doing your best to pee with a raging horn.

+1. I'm one of those guys who avoids doctors like the plague. I could have a half severed arm and I'm all "ah no, we'll see how this pans out, only a scratch". Not out of bravery more out of fear. If mr happy shows signs of not playing ball? I'm down to the GP like a shot.

Lack of wood in anything like a consistent pattern IMHO is a sign of something amiss. It could be hormonal, emotional/psychological, vascular, nerve issues(infection or diabetes?). It's a damn fine yardstick(leave it!) of basic male health IMHO. An erection needs so many of the body's systems in reasonable condition before it can happen.

I dunno if any of the docs here would agree it's a good diagnostic tool(no really, leave it!), but I suspect they would and I think it would show up issues before they may become more obvious. I can't think of a similar outward sign in women that may point to the same number of issues.

As I said a drop off of morning wood or wood in general would get me to a Dr in short order.

Was in bed and a female friend sleeping beside me after a night out. talking the next morning I noticed she was staring at my crotch. I look down and the one eyed monster himself is standing to attention. Never seen her so freaked out - took quite a long time to convince her this is a fairly routine occurance, girl or no girl!

It's gonna happen. Your morning wood is based largely on your testosterone levels. As you get older the ole test levels fall off. Other things can affect it too (as I said, dieting is one, level of fitness is another, too much booze another, etc. etc.).

Wibbs

True, though Ive got elevated test levels for my body weight* so maybe that's why the morning wood is still going at 40 odd. Funny how people differ, if I drop my food intake I get more horny, not less. Booze wise, beer defo hits it, but wine doesn't Emotions really hit I've found. If I'm any way low or stressed over something, I can see a drop off, very rapidly too.





* at 40 I was over a 1000 (can't remember what) per ML. Higher in the past. Sounds great. It isn't. Increased risk of prostate cancer(had my first PSA test at 25 AFAIR) for a start and as anyone who has met me will tell you, it defo didn't give me muscles and could be arm wrestled by most women, never mind men.:(:D Though it seems to have kept me free of middle aged spread so that's a plus.

Everyday with out fail. Herself doesn't go for morning sex so i normally end up taking care of it myself

At 43 years of age I'm proud to say I could literally pole vault out of bed, across the landing and down the stairs on my little friend most mornings

And when I'm training really hard - sweet jesus I'd have a horn that I could beat a horse out of a swamp with.

Beer = floppy joe!.
