Okay I will try and explain how erections happen but you will be most amazed by the fact that most of the time (at least in young men ) we don't do anything. Also, you will have to put up with a long explanation. In order to have sex a male penis must be erect. That erection is related to physical health, mental health, and emotional health (ego) If a male is threatened or scared or has anxiety about sex he may not be able to get erect. Erections occur when more blood is pumped into the special tissue in the penis than can leave. The arteries carry blood to the penis and the veins carry blood away from the penis. When the brain gives the command the arteries dilate (become very large) and more blood is pumped into the penis than can be carried away by the smaller veins. The result is the penis becomes engourged with blood and becomes erect. When erect it becomes more sensitive and sexual arousal is easier. The following things will trigger the command in the brain so that an erection occurs. Physical stimulation (the boy or other person touch and rubs the penis), visual stimulation (the boy sees a girl, a picture, or woman in a form of undress that triggers an erection) Males are genetically engineered to be set off by visual stimulations. This is one reason why most users of pornography are males. In childhood and early puberty (5 to 13) boys can get spontaneous erections. The brain just decides to trigger an erection. This is very embarrassing to boys because it happens at school, while at play, in front their girl friends, in the shower during PE. The boy does nothing to cause this it just happens really! Girls think boys are always horny and that is true for teen agers but boys don't do it the hormones do it to them. Mental stimulation, sometimes just thinking about a special girl or having masturbated last night etc. will stimulate an erection. Boys get no rest while they sleep either. While a boy sleeps at night he usually has up to 7 erections in his sleep. And if he has not masturbated for several days and is of the age to produce semen he may have an orgasm in his sleep ( a wet dream ) in which he shoots semen all over his PJ's or briefs and the bed sheets. It is usually a rather large amount. Then in the morning he wakes up with a very hard erection that is the result of pressure from a full urinary bladder on the veins in his penis. That has to be dealt with in some way so he can urinate. Erections are very much a part of a man's life. In our youth we do not do a lot to cause them they just happen. As we mature and enter puberty we learn to take charge of our sexuality and to control them to some degree but not totally. A man can cause an erection by physical stimulation, visual stimulation, sex play with a partner, or mental stimulation or fantasy. And most men use those things to get erections at private moments in order to masturbate in private and release all that sexual tension. When a man gets a partner then she helps release all the sexual tension and love making or having sex envolves physical, visual, and emotional stimulus.

I guess you have finally entered puberty. The same thing happens to me. In puberty, you will get erection randomly. Waking up with erections is called morning wood. Sometimes it means you were thinking of something sexual or it was your hormones.

you will hopefully always wake up with one, if you dont over the course of several days you may have coronary trouble brewing. but the random ones are just your body telling you that your ready for manhood. just try and keep your hands busy and that could help a little or wear tight or loose pants depending on what works better for you ot keep the cloth of your pants from touching to much

It's perfectly normal! Every healthy man gets that. I once read that we get several erections as we sleep too. The purpose of all that has something to do with providing good circulation to your penis or something like that. It's good for you! But it can get somewhat embarrassing depending on when it happens. Good night!

because you are young. this is normal for young men. the body has a mind of its own sometimes. just make sure you have clothing to hide when in a public area.
this will easy up as you get older and cold showers help.
You might just have a full bladder.

When you go through puberty, it's normal to get erections randomly.
Also, you're supposed to wake up with an erection. When you're sleeping, blood rushes to your dick. It's called "morning wood".

How long has it been sence you had sex??? You may need to see a doctor about that..... It could be a bad thing. For a horney girl it could be good.
