So today, I want to talk about morning erections and what it means about your health.
Unfortunately, if you’re not waking up with strong, morning erections like you used to
in your younger years - this can be a clear sign of a few major health concerns and warnings,
such as
Negative hormonal imbalances Poor blood flow & circulation
Heart Disease - which can lead to a heart attack or stroke
Poor sleep High Stress levels
Prostate problems Depression, again - due to hormonal imbalances.
And I bring up this topic today because I was recently asked:
“Dr. Sam - I’m a little bit concerned, I rarely get morning erections.
I searched online about this topic and as usual, it’s mixed results and advice.
So, I’m now even more confused and frustrated.
Basically, what’s the cause, is it bad that I don’t get them anymore as I used to when
I was younger.
I’m also not as happy or driven in life and I don’t know if all of this is a physical
or mental issue or maybe both.
Please help or do a video about this topic.”
And over the past few months, this type of question has been asked many times, so let
me get right to the point of causes and solutions.
What Causes Morning “Wood” / Erections?
Waking up with an erection or a “woody” as some guys call it, is also called “Nocturnal
Penile Tumescence (NPT).
This is a normal occurrence with most boys and men, especially when younger - when things
are working properly and correctly.
Time To Urinate
One theory for the cause of morning erections is due to the timing of Rapid Eye Movement
(REM) sleep and because of the parasympathetic nervous system affecting the sacral nerve.
This nerve is connected to the badder and simply stated, when you need to urinate, you’ll
get an erection.
However, I don’t like this theory much because there are plenty of times I’ve gotten up
in the middle of the night to pee and I don’t have an erection.
So, why does it mainly happen in the morning?
Sexual Stimulation Another theory is that you’ve had a vivid
and sexual dream and you’re stimulated.
Or, maybe your partner touches you while both of you are sleeping this some sort of “sexual
stimulation”, which causes an erection
Again, a bad theory in my opinion.
Little boys get morning erections and I doubt they are having sexual dreams and there’s
nobody laying next to them that could sexually stimulate them.
The REAL Cause Of Morning Erections
Do you know when a man does a hormone blood test for testosterone levels, they tell him
to do it first thing in the morning?...
This is because your testosterone, both total and free testosterone, is highest in the morning.
And THIS is also the reason you have morning erections - healthy testosterone levels.
More so, optimal hormonal balance.
This means lower estrogen levels and in fact, normal cortisol levels.
It’s ALL About The Hormones
For example…
IF estrogen and other female hormones are high, your testosterone will be lower and
there’s an imbalance between these male/female hormones.
IF your stress hormones are also very high, such as cortisol and similar hormones, your
testosterone will also be lower.
In fact, this is why when you’re under heavy stress or you don’t sleep well or not enough,
you will not have morning erections.
But, if you get a really good night’s sleep, you’ll wake up with a strong morning erection….
ASSUMING your testosterone and other key hormones are ALSO balanced and in an optimal range.
And I’ll tell you how you can quickly fix these hormones in a minute and do so, naturally.
So please continue watching if this is something you want to fix.
And of course, this all makes sense when you think about it -- this is why when you’re
younger, you usually waking up with strong, morning “wood”.
Now, you may ask, “but wait, earlier you said little boys get morning erections - they
don’t have any testosterone yet?”
No, this is incorrect.
Little boys may NOT be producing as much testosterone as an adult male, since their testicles aren’t
producing much, YET.
However, they are STILL producing enough, especially from their adrenal glands.
What IF You’re NOT Getting Morning Erections?
So the next question is, what if you’re not getting morning erections?
What does this mean?
Of course, as you get older, due to stresses in life, and so forth - I don’t expect you
to wake up with a crazy strong erection every morning, but you should most days.
FOR SURE if you’re in your 30’s and younger.
I’m almost 50 and I get them every single morning, with the exception of days that I
just haven’t slept well for a couple of days and my stress levels are super high.
And if you’re not these frequent, morning erections at any age, then this is a warning
sign that:
Your testosterone levels are dropping and are starting to get too low
You have hormonal imbalances as well -- higher female and stress hormones
You have erectile dysfunction and if left untreated, it WILL get impotence at some point.
You have poor blood flow - which can lead to high blood pressure, weaker arteries and
plaque and cholesterol buildup.
You’re overweight, which also means you’re producing too much estrogen, which is making
it even harder for you to lose fat.
You might have mild depression -- again, stemming from hormonal imbalances and low dopamine
levels.
All of this means you’re not healthy.
You’re aging faster.
This can typically also lead to prostate problems, growth and even cancer.
What’s The Solution So at this point, you want to know what the
solution is and how you can fix this.
Of course, the typical suggestion most experts will tell you is that you need to go see a
doctor.
But why?
What are they going to do?
Other than prescribe you some drug, maybe Viagra, which is only dealing with the symptoms,
masking the problem and only making things worse!!!
So, my suggestion is you immediately make some life-style improvements, to quickly and
naturally, improve your testosterone levels, balance our negative hormones and improve
your blood flow.
And you can literally see and feel the benefits within days and over the next few weeks and
months, reverse this problem and fix it long-term.
Which means better health and better performance in the bedroom.

while it’s fresh on your mind.
All of them will lead you to natural solutions and quick fixes.
