Poll of the Day > Does anybody else get more random boners when you're tired?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't understand this. I know it's normal to get a boner when you're asleep but I'm awake and it happens and is annoying

Yeah man all the time

I force it so much I'm surprised my junk hasn't rotted and fallen off tbh. So no.

lol shut up

I've heard wet dreams are apparently very common if you haven't done the deed in a while.

I haven't ever experienced that though, which is good I guess?

Like morning wood? I guess it's just triggered by the waking phase of sleep. So even if you don't fully fall asleep, when you're tired you are constantly keeping yourself in the process of waking and sleeping so boners galore.

I've always wondered if it's true that when you have a wet dream, you're actually having sex in the dream. I don't think it's true though. Conversely, I've had sex dreams that "concluded" and woken up with dry pants >_>b

I get tiredness boners a lot. It's super lame.

Yeah it makes sense because when you get tired blood flows more easily into your donger

REM sleep arousal. It's what causes morning wood; both men and women display the physical signs of sexual arousal during REM sleep (though obviously it's more noticeable in men). If you're tired and nodding off, your body is trying to drop directly into REM sleep, and that will sometimes cause spontaneous erections.

I've never noticed getting any boners when I'm tired. I might check that out the next time I'm really tired.

Something like this.

It's a regular thing that happens to guys. I always have a TV night where a dozen or so of us get together to watch shows, and it's always at the end of my long work days that they host these. I'm always having to hide boners because of how sleepy I get. One time I straight up fell asleep, and people were laughing when I woke up. One of the girls there showed me her phone where she'd taken a picture of my boner while I was asleep. Some of them had been drinking though.

This hit ya now? It's norm.

Nope, I was still in undergrad 8 years ago. Still not into med school.

I don't think I've ever had a request, and I don't see any unanswered requests now. Am I missing something?

It's not tremendously well-understood (nothing about sleep is), but that's not far off of one of the theories. Counterintuitively, sexual arousal is triggered by the parasympathetic nervous system, and inhibited by the sympathetic, which is the opposite of how most physical arousal works. When you're tired enough to be nodding off, sympathetic activity is quite low, so you don't have that inhibition anymore and the body reverts to its default state of being sexually aroused.

Conversely, that's why it's hard to get it up when you're nervous or stressed. High sympathetic activity=inhibited sexual arousal, which makes sense because your body's all like "no we can't make sexytime now that tiger's going to eat us if we don't punch it."
