What causes a boner in the morning for us guys?

Two things. Erotic dream just before or while waking up. And full bladders, an erection causes the prostate to close off the urethra so that semen can exit the vas. It keeps us from urinating in our sleep.

Sorry, typing poorly today

hmmm.. sounds like it makes sense

i wake up to that every morning.

It sucks but it happens so what can u do? take a piss

Reaver, you were partially correct about the bladder thing. I talked a health teacher in my school about this. What happens is your full bladder presses against a nerve near your dick, causing stimulation, resulting in an erection. Take a piss, and it goes away...

i heard it was cos during the nite your blood circulates different than during the day, kinda like a 'system check', so if ya get morning wood that means you are healthy and functioning correctly.
Enjoy

you also are at your highest level of testosterone in the morning from it building up all night.

no wonder ive caught myself humping the bed when i wake up

I read somewhere that cavemen woke up with a boner so that he could fuck his wife before he left the cave. that way his genes would be passed in case a dinosaur ate him that day.

yah i was in camp and i wake up and all these girls and guys are sitting in my 4person cabin just talkin, and im like what the hell r u guys doin , they were just talkin bout stuff and then i turn a little and pop goes the boner in my sleeping bag, it was quite the funny moment!

I think morning wood (I love that term)
happends because when youre sleeping youre laying still.
Then u wake up and basicaly same thing happends as when u get up really fast.
All the blood goes to the head.
Well different head.

There was a beavis and butthead episode about this

Bevis and buthead kick ass.
Only thing I hate about morning wood is when I am late and have to get ready in 5 minutes and I have to dodge people so I dont poke them axidentaly on the way to the bathroom.

PS: yeah I have a really tiny house.

That bites...

I've always wondered this myself...I always thought it to be: Having an erotic dream, and not having anything to distract me from it, so I dream that same dream the entire night. Thanks for the help.

after i take a piss, the boner usually goes away, then 5 or 10 mins later i get a hard on again and usually i beat it off. Is this because the testosterone building up all night ?

It's really a direct result of recently being in Stage 1 REM sleep (the "lightest" stage of sleep).

It's actually pretty interesting, because ALL men MUST have erections during Stage 1 REM. Doctors examine possible-impotence cases during this stage to determine if their lack of ability to attain erection is a physiological problem, or psychological problem.

As for morning wood being a pain in the ass, well, I had surgery about a year ago, and had to wake up with a tube stuck in Mr. Winkie. That made my morning erection absolute hell.

I think morning wood is kinda cool, but then again it's not a problem I have to deal with. Just be thankful you dont wake up bleeding once a month.

Tis True

you get it because of REM increase blood flow and stuff REM is the last stage of the sleep cycle and the one you most likely wake up one. morning wood.......ya gotta love it

REM = Rapid Eye Movement

rapid eye movment = dream

dream = boner

So all that's just an elaborate biological system check each night?

It would seem that whoever designed the human body had a sense of humor.

morning wood is funny i was at this camp thingy when i was 13 and i had just woke up and i was in my boxers on the top bunk i wake up and i walk over to get my moring food and im walking and walking right little did i know that "Mr. Winkie" was poking through and saluting the girl in front of me .. (the boxers with teh slit and the button :S ) heeh i poked her in the ass ... i didn't even know about it until a ran into her ... hehe that was the funnyist and most embarrising thing that has happened in a long time

heres a few differnt answers...

because your a satanist!

Because of the wood fairy (beavis and butthead)

and because you have dreams about fucking gorgeous fucking woman in any way you want

most likely the third one...
