Well, when you’re asleep, you (men) still have those thoughts, but when you’re asleep, its a little difficult to control your ‘John Thomas’ and sometimes those thoughts come to your head right before you wake and there it is… Thats what I heard anyway. It makes sense…doesn’t it? \*\*

That’s bullshit, I wonder if it counts as an urban legend. I frequently go hours without having a sexual thought.

I’ve heard that it was just a reaction to dreaming. It makes sense to me, seems every time I wake from a dream I have an erection, even if it was a totally non-sexual dream.
