Question

please help!

where did you get your information from?

Answer 1

That is true, men have the highest level just before they get out of bed.

But it does not cause a hard on.

Answer 2

Testosterone levels are only one reason for erections. Coincidently, testosterone is higher in most males at night, but it doesn't necessarily cause nocturnal erections. The night time hard ons are a result of guys entering REM sleep. The first onset is about 90 minutes after a guy falls asleep and only last a few minutes. As the night progresses, and the longer he sleeps, the longer his REM stages last. It is during REM that the erections occur. Since the longest REM stage is usually just before getting up in the morning, most guys notice the hard on when they wake up. But there a number of other factors that can affect it as well. If he is in his teens, the surge of testosterone coupled with erotic dreams and possibly nocturnal emissions if he isn't getting enough release normally all occur on a very natural sleep cycle. So the answer you are looking for is a little more complicated than just the happy little hormone.

Answer 3

Your answer is correct, but your timing is a little off...

Testosterone is the "sex-drive" hormone and, in men, it generally peaks early morning and is at it's lowest during the evening hours. In women the exact opposite is true however, with the lowest period being during the early morning building up to it's peak period in the evening.

Who says [insert higher power here ;-p] doesn't have a sense of humor? Other random trivia, if your interested is that on average, the adult male body produces about twenty to thirty times the amount of testosterone that an adult female's body does.

Answer 4

Yeah it's true that at night men get hard ons. I think when you've hard ons, it stops from you from peeing on yourself and weting problems. For ex. sometimes guys drunk as hell and pass out, sometimes they piss on themself, because it's harder to keep erection when your drunk.

Answer 5

NIGHTTIME ERECTIONS ARE A FACT, THIS IS A DETERMINING FACTOR IN DIAGNOSING IMPOTENCE. WHAT CAUSES IT I WOULD NOT FATHOM AN ANSWER.
