I have heard hints that it is easier, but if there is a real answer somewhere, I bet it would be in this book. It is not a joke and not porn.

It's supposed to be slightly more difficult, because gravity helps out in keeping the lower body filled with blood on Earth. So the astronauts get bloated redder faces due to the heart having to work less.
You won't have a problem at all unless you're oooooold...
The difference is probably like lying on your back as opposed to standing up.
Aw heck you'd probably have a problem *not* to. It'd be going up and down all day..
More of a problem is staying together (hug very tight with all 8 limbs)
And long hair will look like this:

I would anticipate that it would be extremely difficult to achieve an
erection in space. Physiologically, I would have to assume that it is a
possiblility however. The erection of the penis is a problem of hydrolics
as increased blood flows into that organ with a concomittant decrease in
outflow. This increased fluid pressure, coupled with the unique and quite
clever layout of fibrous tissue in the various parts of the penis allows an
erection to occur. Gravity plays no part in it, and therefore lack of
gravity should have no effect. An erection is certainly possible in the
pseudo-weightless environment one encounters when submersed in water.

Most men have to fight to keep from getting erections. So why wouldn't a man get an erection at a nudist colony? Have you seen who hangs out at those places? Eveythings all old, wrinkly, sagging, and leathry. And those are the good looking ones!

while not a direct impact, the lack of gravity does make bloodflow to bodily regions below the heart more difficult.... this may include flow to the penis. Our bodies have evolved in a gravity environment such that gravity assists in pulling blood down large arteries in our legs. Smaller veins carry the blood back to the heart and are less impacted by gravity.
I'd be happy to volunteer to go up and test it out for you... assuming I could bring a girlfriend.

No easier, no more difficult. An erection is the result of increased blood pressure to the penis. Because blood pressure is a function of the heart, it is not affected by gravity or the lack of it.

no difference, erection is based on the bodies ability to provide and adequate bloodflow to make this happen. Lack of gravity would not have a direct impact on blood flow to the netheregion

i think it would be easier based on a psychology of living in no gravity making the different ways of the organs work without a suit no with a suit it would be easier to control the erection on just thinking of it. so it would possibly be harder to get an erection naming you would be able to control the penis not get an erection making erections possible. in space there is no such thing as an erection.

I have no clue, but maybe you should asked an astronaut with you see one. Not that they have much need of one in outer space.

it depends on a whole lot of factors such as thrust angle, amount of propulsion energy available, docking manuevers, fluid load capacities, and simply whether there is enough space for the shaft to enter and dock correctly
