The Morning Wood Poll

[Defiant1 Member Find all posts View Profile Close Defiant1]

Guys, I want to know what is 'normal' and if there is such a thing.

I very rarely wake with morning wood, if I do, I become aware of it and it will go fairly quickly.

The last urologist I saw said that I likely don't experience them much because they only come really during deep relaxed states of REM sleep and also come in cycles. So A) you may not wake during an erection cycle and B) you may not be relaxed enough.

Now I know that my psychological problem is HUMUNGOUS now. I recognise that. It is deeply seated and almost defines me. My personality on this issue anyway, is also OCD. I do obsess over this matter.

With two ultrasounds saying I have good plumbing. One with a negative EDV and the latest with <5cm/s EDV, can it really be true that my anxiety, this 'complex' I have built up in my mind has diminished my penises ability to be 'normal'?

What do you guys experience? I really want to know.

My morning wood has varied a lot over life, funny enough when I was younger with higher libido I had less morning wood.
How is your test level ? How often do you ejaculate.?

My testosterone was tested 3 years ago and deemed normal, I never knew the exact figure (to my detriment) and I've had it tested in a battery of bloods 10 days ago. I've yet to find out the result.

I'm abstaining at the moment because I tried to masturbate the other day and I was just so stressed/nervous/anxious about my performance, even alone, whilst masturbating. Of course I failed. It hit me hard, psychologically.

Anxiety is a big issue .

I just don't believe anxiety alone, when it was in the early stages could have affected my erections so dramatically.

I'm trying to eliminate causes one by one.

Penile Anatomy: 2 ultrasounds to say fine, 1 said minor venous leak. Note: the one that said I had minor venous leak was a poorly run test.
Test: Probably normal
Bloods/Hormones: Normal
Pelvic Floor: Undetermined. I'm booking in for an assessment soon. It does take a lot to make sure all the urine is gone after peeing and I will sometimes notice a wet patch in my pants after if I haven't spent a good minute shaking it all out. Plus I've noticed after using the loo and wiping sufficiently, sometime later, if I wipe again, there will be more. Sorry I know that's gross! So this could be an issue.
Physical: Great shape, good BMI, toned, athletic.
Which leaves mind........

My mind is a wasteland of anxiety/guilt/stress/fear and catastrophe

Hmm I really would try and get anxiety under control

Do you think someone with a deeply troubled mind in this aspect then could have nocturnal and morning erections affected by that?

You are just feeding his behavior for constantly trying to assure him about the same thing. He has created dozens of threads on multiple forums about the very same thing. Nothing what you write is going to change a thing, next week he will again come up with the same issue from another viewpoint hoping that people will reassure him that nothing is wrong. Only thing that will help him is to stop feeding him. 4 dopplers, continuous visits to specialists is pure nuisance. Waste of time for everyone.
