Medical Video: The Science of 'Morning Wood'
For men, an erect penis suddenly in a public place is very embarrassing and can make panic. Some people also have had an erection at the wrong time, for example when presenting before a colleague or when meeting a parent's lover. In fact, maybe at that time there were no sexual stimuli or thoughts at all. Erect penis appeared just unexpectedly. Not reasonable, huh? Find out the answers in the following review.
Why can the penis erect?
Erection occurs when blood flows towards the penis. Your penis will be filled with blood so that it looks bigger, longer, and feels hard. This penis condition is also often called "tense" or "standing". Usually this condition will last for several minutes and will relax on its own, both by itself and with the help of manual stimulation.
Will the penis only erect when aroused?
Because the penis is one of the sexual organs, the activity on the penis is often associated with everything that smells of sex. In fact, just like other organs in the body, namely the eye or heart, the penis not only reacts to sexual stimulation.
Blood flow is regulated automatically by your body's system. Like breathing, winking, or digesting food, the penis can also erect without you controlling. So, even though you can control erection through sexual arousal, your penis may also "stand up" even when there are no obvious causes such as sexual desire.
Why can spontaneous erection occur without stimulation?
The condition of the penis erection without stimulation or sexual arousal is called spontaneous erection. Spontaneous erection can occur in anyone and at any time, especially in young men who are experiencing puberty. In most cases, the cause is a change in hormone levels read by the brain as a signal to drain blood into the male pelvic area.
Spontaneous erection often occurs even when a person is sleeping and enters the deep or REM sleep stage (rapid eye movement). This is because at the REM sleep stage your body is producing large amounts of hormones. The brain also gives an order for the blood to travel to the penis area. This is why sometimes men wake up with a hardened penis.
In other cases, hormone levels can increase at any time without you consciously controlling. So, spontaneous erection can occur when you are working, bathing, driving, or even while eating. This is normal and normal, not something to worry about. Spontaneous erection does not mean you have lewd thoughts or are aroused.
How to cover up spontaneous erections when they occur in public
When you experience a spontaneous erection at times that are not right, there are a number of tricks so that the penis quickly becomes weak again. If you don't get limp, you can try hiding it. Here are the ways you can check.
- Turn your mind. Try to think of things that are boring, annoying, or weird. For example deadline work or classmates who make emotions.
- On foot. When you walk, your body will drain blood to other parts, such as the legs and brain. The blood that had gathered in the pelvic area will move to another place so that the penis is no longer erect.
- Cover the crotch. If various methods don't work to make your intimate organs weak again, try to cover it with a jacket, book, or bag. While waiting for the penis to lose an erection, look for a safe sitting position that does not invite attention.
- Go to bathroom. Look for opportunities to go to the bathroom without being spotlighted by others. This is the safest way to avoid embarrassment if you get caught experiencing a spontaneous erection in a public place.
