Morning Wood

Allright T…calm down. Offer him a free ham sandwich as a peace offering. :D

I don’t want to be one then :)

Lets see, 28…rarely gets morning wood for the past 3 years…urologist says poor night erections (rules out psychogenic, rules in actual dysfunction)…high cholesterol…I suggest a physical is a good idea, hummm…yeah, you got me there… just plain crazy advice.

This wasn’t generalize advice…ALL guys with no morning wood should get a physical…nothing like that at all.

This was personal suggestion to one young man with a grouping of symptoms that indicate the POSSIBILITY of a more serious underlying cause. I gave him advice I would give my son or any friend with that cluster of symptoms…go get a check up.

Where someone’s health is concerned, I think its better to err on the side of playing it safe…don’t you agree?

I remember reading about this maybe a year ago - the info is out there on google for anyone interested..

I’m 20 and I’ve had pretty much infrequent morning wood since I hit puberty. I remember getting it a bit more when I was like under 13.

According to the goaskalice.com website: “Morning erections are technically nighttime erections which happen during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep (when most dreaming occurs), although men older than sixty years may have them during even non-REM sleep. Generally, we experience four intervals of REM sleep per night. These spontaneous woodies in the wee hours are caused by specific neuroreflexes that are stimulated during REM sleep.”

I remember reading that a lack of morning wood can often be a sign of erectile dysfunction. Hopefully not a sign of impending erectile dysfunction, but I can’t be sure. Whoop, here we go:

“ED is commonly classified as psychological or organic (physical). Psychological erectile dysfunction, which is most prevalent in younger men (up to 70% of ED in men under 35 years of age) accounts for approximately 10% of ED in men older than 50 years of age. Psychogenic erection usually stems from anxiety and inappropriate release of adrenaline at the time of attempted intercourse. It is characterized by a sudden onset, intermittent problems and normal night-time and morning erections. It is the predominant type of dysfunction in younger males.”

Going back to my problems - I don’t think I frequently get into a state of deep dreaming sleep - I don’t recall dreaming very often at all. I think when I do dream, I do wake up with morning wood. I also smoke a fair bit of pot which doesn’t help (dreams especially, but probably erections too!)..

I would say that your problems with morning wood are more psychological than anything else, as I would say so for mine (I hope so!). If your physically healthy and don’t really have any trouble gaining erections when you need them then I don’t really see it as a huge problem. Then again - you are on a PE website and I would say that any strenuous work you do to yourself could possibly have further implications with erectile function - especially if your damaging it..

Ah well - thank god for Viagra huh! Impotency kinda seems like a non-event these days lol.

Not necessarily. I don’t get morning wood much in the sense I rarely wake up with a woody. But often times I get them in the middle of the morning randomly or from just a single thought. I link it to my intake of simple carbs in the morning where as the remainder of the day is very hi GI foods like brown rice and oatmeal.

Free test can be effected by carb intake. Furthermore serotonin which can also effect sexual pleasure and erections also can increased with carb intake. Certain medications may lower cholesterol to much which is a primary ingredient for testosterone production.

Try taking ZMA, eating a diet with more carbs, eating a couple whole eggs before sleep, and excercising. If you do all of these and still struggle, then you may have testosterone issues that natural means can’t remedy. In this case you would first want to have the Doc analyze your medications. If you aren’t on any meds that would effect it I would first try a natural test booster like Diesel Test, if that doesn’t work try an AI like Atd or armidex, if that doesn’t work you will most likely need HRT.

Ok, morning wood was actually something I kind of wondered about as well. I’m very young (18 years old) and I rarely have morning wood. I kind of wake up with like partial erection rather than anything intense. However, it’s not that I CAN’T get morning wood, it’s more that it just doesn’t happen so much. I remember one random time I woke up with an extremely strong erection (I was kind of like “Where’d this come from?” since it’s rare) but I think that shows that I can get them.. Maybe I just wake up after they are starting to go away? I do think that I masturbate quite a bit though, so maybe that has something to do with it? Maybe I’ll try not doing it for a couple of weeks or something and see what happens.

I don’t really have a problem getting an erection if stimulated sexually, but unless I’m around a girl I have trouble maintaining an erection without porn or continuous masturbating. I have just learned about PE and I’m going to start kegals and jelqing.

I’m on the last week of my break and it seems that as I stopped PE my morning wood has suffered so to say. I don’t get the same really hard erection as I did, I get a partial erection if anything at all.

Stickit, frequent cumming probably takes the edge off your morning wood. Still, there’s lots of individual variation any way. You’re in good shape, though, since you can easily get hard if you want. If you can stand it, you might try abstaining for a while and see if your morning wood behavior changes—probably you’ll begin to see some pretty furious boners showing up. Most likely you’re getting plenty of strong erections while sleeping. When night wood disappears it’s a good idea to get to a physician for a work-up.

Go with the newbie routine, using lots of common sense. Don’t get too aggressive in an attempt to force growth in a hurry. Be nice to your tool—you only get one. Wish I had known about PE when I was 18.

Good luck.

If your EQ DECREASES during a break, it tends to indicate that you WEREN’T over training.

Pre diabetes which is hard to detect is a concern and a cause of ED.
Hypothyroid disease which may not show up m blood test is a culprit, may be the case here.
Raynauds disase and poor circulation is another.
Anemia even slight anemia a high consideration.
Estrogenic compounds, beer,diuretics.
Stress.

However I do agree not having a morning wood may just be due to aging issues. But I’m not to sure about this. Lack of morning wood could be due to nutritional deficiencies. Not enough calories, bad absortion from the intestinal trac. Deficiencies in chromium,magnesium,vitamin “E”. “C” zinc and protein.

Speel check?

Hey guys, I m doing jelqing since one week now (10 min every day, I did it 6 times until now).

My erections are already better, the sides of my unit feel like steel when masturbating. When watching a porn I only have to touch my dick with my fingertip and it gets hard in almost 3 seconds. I also last longer while masturbation. I can go again for 20 min without cumming and no loss of erection.

There is only one thing that cancers me. I didn’t get increased nite and morning wood yet. I remember when I was on a PE routine 2 years ago, I had incredible hard morning woods, it felt like my penis would explode.

I have morning wood but my penis is only semi hard.

EQ is just that, Erectile Quality. That includes, frequency, duration, ease of erection, hardness, nite and morning wood.

Nite and morning wood are just TWO aspects of the totally. Improved EQ means one or more or all of the catagories are improving.

So, if nite and morning wood doesn’t change, yet you are getting much easier wood, harder wood, longer lasting wood, that is a DEFINITE improvement of EQ.

I guess some guys may not see improvement of nite or morning wood at all, yet if the other catagories are improving…it is definitely improved EQ.
