What is the significance of Morning Wood?

a sign of healing, at a minimum
it all depends on duration of addiction, and degree of dysfunction.

i started getting some morning woodies after about a month, on my first try here, which lasted only about 60 days.
prior to NoFap, no morning flagpoles for a LONG time, and wife couldn't even get me up adequately,
just me and the porn, (or me and a good mental fantasy, SOLO)

had my FIRST morning chubby of this SECOND try at NoFap, on day #13,

 

Hey guys I'm a military medic and I can explain why morning wood happens. It has nothing to do with reboot, sex, or blood. During the night your bladder fills with urine because you are not urinating. Your bladder sits right on top of the nerve that causes erections. When the bladder is very full it puts pressure on that nerve causing an erection. It is also a safety mechanism to keep you from pissing the bed when you sleep. Ever notice how hard it is to pee with an erection?

 

There is some truth to that, but men have about 3-5 erections during the night. One of these might occur to allow you to cum with a wet dream - which obviously has to do with sex. Also, morning wood can stop for weeks on end during a flatline - which is caused by a reboot. Finally, without blood engorging the penis, no morning wood could ever happen.

 

I've been waking up with erections for a long time with this PMO addiction. Is that normal for someone with this problem?

 

I learn something new everyday. But yeah, I'm sure it has nothing to do with reboot.

 

So why is it that people start getting morning wood again (that didn't get it before anymore) when they do the challenge? I think the no peeing is a good reason for it, but sometimes you also get morning wood when you don't have to pee, right?

 

Well, I stopped experiencing morning wood for a long time. Years, as far as i remember. But early this autumn I quit PMO, or started trying to quit it. Now its perhaps 40 days with no PMO at all. And I was happy when I suddenly started waking up with "morning wood" again.

 

Am I one of the rare people who would get morning wood with a PMO addiction?

 

No SpideyMan, I also got morning wood with a PMO addiction, but I did notice that they were getting weaker/less frequent as time went on and I became more addicted. When I stopped PMO, I hit a flatline pretty soon after stopping and lost morning wood for about 3-4 weeks. To be honest, it was actually oddly nice not waking up with it because it was more comfortable. However, they are now back, so I guess my reboot is going ok.

 

Okay, thanks. That's good to know. I think the reason I was getting morning wood is because watching porn and masturbating first thing in the morning became part of the routine. I wake up, open the computer, put on pornhub, and masturbate. So that might be the reason why I was getting morning wood.

 

I can testify to this because I remember waking up in the middle of a night with a boner only to wet my pants in the morning. Grade school.

 

I can also testify to this, as I often wake up with a boner in the morning because I'm desperate for a pee.

 

Ive seen it go down for me. I'm only about a month into my reboot so that may change. When I was masturbating almost daily I definitely had a lot of morning wood tho. The only times I've had it recently was after a night with sexually driven dreams.

 

I'm 13 days in, going on 14, and the past 3 days I've woke up with rock hard erections. I honestly can't remember the last time I got one let alone two that were as hard as they were.

I don't know...

 

Woke up this morning after taking my first dose of magic pill and I’m having the great effect. I woke up due to an above average erection and it would not go down. Even now, I’m sprouting spontaneous raging erections that last anywhere from 6 mins to 20 mins depending on how preoccupied my mind is.

 

Strong morning wood is a sign of healthy testosterone production. It's one of the indicators my strength coaches would ask us to check. If we were losing morning wood or if it wasn't as strong, we had to pull back our training in order to recover from excess cortisol from overtraining. If you're stressed or training too hard, testosterone's conversion to cortisol increases. It also affects sleep quality, so keep the stress in check.

 

I am on nofap since 12 days
I was a regular masturbators since i was 12 or 13 years old . Then at age 18 we got cheap and high speed internet connection . It was very cheap . So i tried to misuse it by watching porn . I watched porn daily and mastributed till orgasm about 2 to 3 times daily. Then i got to know about it side effects. So i decided to start NoFap and replapsed on day 7 for few times . But i use to get morning wood on each and every single day . They (google)say that it is pretty much normal . When i strated nofap i decided it because about 1.5 years later i was destined to be married . So for my future wife i decided to become a man that she really deserved and stated nofap
On day 9 i noticed no morning wood . I got freaked out . Because of this i i search this term . Results were scary . They told me that it may be because of low blood supply to penis. Or blood supply to penis may got disrupted. I got really scary at this time . On day 12 i woke up few times in night to notice not erections . When in finally woke up at 5.30 am i i notid a weak/semi erection which disappeared after peeing . This process i im going through is giving me brain tensions and to beat my heart faster. Is this everything normal ?please tell me i i getting nervous by each passing day

 

did you recover ? Did your morning wood become hard and stronger after doing nofap ?
