It’s a myth? And it’s been debunked? I guess I’ve been living in a vacuum, then. Let me rephrase: it’s my body waking me up to tell me that I have to pee, and right away. Well, as soon as the wood goes away enough.
Don’t you just love it when people tell you something you have experienced for decades with your own body is a myth? I think we have a population of at least two here now that does, in fact, experience them. I certainly wouldn’t fake contortions in the bathroom just for kicks.
I’m not saying that men don’t wake up with morning wood, nor am I saying that men don’t wake up having to pee. But I believe it’s been pretty well debunked that there is a correlation between the two.
As a cite, take a look at…
Actually, I’m having trouble finding a cite. Cecil doesn’t address it. Snopes doesn’t address it. And about half the Google hits I get say it’s true, and the other half call it nonsense. But most of those hits are suspect.
This is weird. OK, what’s the dope on piss-hards?
My own thoughts against:
Most men need to urinate several times per day. Yet I doubt they get erections every single time. This would suggest to me that there is no correlation. Otherwise, bars would be erection central, and yet it’s pretty much a given that alcohol decreases performance, not enhance it.
Second, consider this: Morning erections may just very well be a normal function, regardless of bladder state. However, during a normal eight-hour sleep cycle, your bladder is filling up and getting no relief. Therefore, when you wake up, you need to pee. It may very well be mere coincidence that you have to pee AND have and erection every morning of your life, but it’s not a coincidence that’s hard (ahem) to explain.
Holy shit, do you know how many times this has crossed my mind? Not necessarily for sex, but just to have a hole to put the wood in and go back to sleep!
