Morning Wood

Gosh, I completely forgot about this thread,LOL!

Just as you said in your post here Z, I had an unfortunate experience years ago when I was a young guy in the Military. I was driving to work on Base, and there were two guys on the side of the road. They (turns out) were Military cops and were jogging, when one collapsed. His buddy flagged me down, and I performed CPR on the guy until help came. Well, he died anyway, and it turned out he had a heart attack while jogging, and autopsy showed he had MASSIVE coronary artery disease…at 23 years of age!

Exactly as your instructor said, now days by high school age many kids already have heart disease from the SAD diet! Shocking but true. Further, early signs show up as ED because the arteries are much smaller in the penis and will occlude faster than larger arteries. Again, not to say all ED is related to cardiovascular disease, but in his case, I thought it was a prudent suggestion…still do!

The good news is that it can be completely reversed with a diet like Paleo or Rosedale, I think I wrote a thread on that somewhere here.

sparkyx - good points

Experiencing a sudden death in a young people who shouldn’t be dying is not a pleasant experience. I’ve seen too many. Heart attacks at young age are on the rise for reasons discussed; very avoidable risk factors. Unfortunately there is one risk that we have no control over - genetics. In many cases of heart attacks at an early age, they are the result of family history of the same. The only things that can help these individuals is to control all the other risk factors - smoking, weight, sedentary life style, etc. Even with that, this genetic “curse” is bad…

As far as CV disease and erection, high blood pressure, occlusive vascular disease, diabetes and medications are just a few of the many causes of poor or absent EQ.

A good diet and exercise are always good recommendations. I practice both and am doing well (at an age greater than the vast majority of guys on TP). I hope you all are doing the same (not you sparkyx - I know you already are). Do it for your penis…

Nice to hear from you Pudendum, good to see you still drop in!

I had suffered E.D. For years and it was effecting my marriage.

I had a heart attack in April and had stents put in to unblock two arteries.

I’m now railing my wife twice and sometimes three times a day.

I’m 53.

WOW and you lucky dog! Again, many times ED can be an early warning of cardiovascular disease. The arteries of the penis are small, so they will clog far sooner than coronary arteries. NOT to be confused with psychogenic ED or panic dick (for all you guys that freak out each time your dick doesn’t work!!!)

I may have mentioned it before, but Paleo or Rosedale diet. Also consider looking into magnesium orotate or aspartate.

My issue is genetic. The cupboard full of meds prescribed after surgery have now been successfully switched for natural products that do as well if not better without the side effects.

The only med I’m still on is an anti-coagulant to stop the clogging of the stents.

And my wife is smiling all the time.

Life is good.

The last two sentences are what it’s all about. Well done.

Thanks Titleist, it’s been quite an adventure.

I’m 42 this month. I can’t say that I ever got evening and morning wood that regularly. I can’t say mine has improved since 3 months of PE exercises, hard to see if I get less wood though. According to a thread here, a physical indicator that I will get a longer erect penis is that I should be getting improved evening and morning wood. Not sure if that’s true or not, but if so, then I’m not on my way to getting that length gain.

For anyone who’s dubious about PE after a few years stopping and starting PE I decided to give it a good go.

I’ve been doing the newbie routine (for 2 months, and continuing).

Have an cheap eBay extender, adapted with vacuum cup.

Also use the vacuum Glans cup with a bungee cord as an ADS.

My thought was hit it from all angles (pun intended).

I’ve seen length gains already and feeling a lot fatter erect and flaccid.

The biggest shock to me was my night wood. I never realised how poor my night wood was until I started hitting the PE hard, I’m 30 and now having Erections like a teenager all night and morning, take a good half an hour in the morning to go down.

I have never really had morning wood as a recurring thing, and my erections are solid as hell - especially after 2 1/2 weeks of PE and kegels. I also have no clue as to whether I have hard-ons during the night since I never wake up during the nights. So a question I have is: if your boners during sex or masturbation are good, do you still need to worry about having morning wood?

Erection Self-Test
Definition
An erection self-test is a method to determines a man’s ability or inability to achieve an erection during sleep.

Alternative Names
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) stamp test; Nighttime penile tape test

How the test is performed
A strip of four to six postage stamps (any kind) is used for each test. The test needs to be done for 3 nights. The man needs to wear brief-type undershorts that have a fly. Place the penis through the fly, leaving most of the pubic hair against the body.

Wrap the strip of stamps snugly around the shaft of the penis. The stamps need to overlap so the overlapped stamp can be moistened to seal the ring. When the stamp has dried, carefully place the penis back inside the shorts and wear them while sleeping. (They help protect the stamps from falling off).

In the morning, check to see if the stamp ring has been broken along the perforations. If the tearing of the stamps awakens the man during the night, check for an erection and how rigid the erection is.

How to prepare for the test
You will need to buy some stamps. Do not drink alcohol or take a sleep-inducing or sedative medication for at least 2 days before the test.

How the test will feel
The stamps may feel unusual. The test should be done until 3 nights of comfortable, uninterrupted sleep is achieved.

Why the test is performed
The test is done to confirm if a man can have an erection at night. All men with normal physiological erectile function will have an erection during normal sleep. The test may help determine if the cause of erectile dysfunction is psychological or physical.

Normal Values
During at least one of the nights, the ring of stamps is broken between any two stamps

New here and just checking out different forums. I have been doing stretches and hanging for about 6 months and have noticed a big change waking up with morning wood. Started vacuum hanging again after a short time off with 2 1/2#, and going up to 4# this week. Lately I’ve been waking up just about every morning with a mild to hard erection on. This never used to happen before I started to hang but I’m not complaining, feels good getting out of bed looking in mirror to see it standing up. My erections have been a lot stronger and my flaccid size is looking up also. I must be doing something right and it shows it is paying off. Have gained .75 so far and hoping to add 1.5 to 2”.

I have woke up with night erections without having dreams also. But really enjoy the morning woods.

I had some good results with PE in the fall until over training caused some unusual lack of morning/night wood. I regained it after a few days’ break but found that any amount of PE afterward would cause loss of morning wood. I took off six months, with some spotty morning wood during the early break. When I resumed PE with an incredibly lightweight routine, I immediately experienced lack of morning wood again. Since then it’s been kind spotty. That was after a six month break!

All throughout I never had problems maintaining and getting normal erections. The lack of morning discourages me from going back into PE, but my break has been very very long already and I don’t know if it’s simply that I have to be even more patient and wait another few months.

Could it be I just take longer to heal? Or am I playing head games with myself?

When I started PE my night woods were incredibly intense (almost exploding strong). Now any amount of PE deflates me at night. I miss when PE was doing me good!
