Why does the penis get hard?

Women’s bodies details, including things like the hymen, the c-spot, u-spot, g-spot, and countless other salacious details are often revealed during online discussions, by people who find women’s bodies including the clitoris to be interesting.

Arguably, there are some men out there that have a greater knowledge of female anatomy than many women!

In fact, women are just as curious about the male body. They are very eager to know what it feels like to have an erect penis.

In order to arouse your interest and have a profound insight into such a topic, I have toiled through a lot of research on many issues and compiled this large amount of information, because I hope it will help increase your awareness of your own body, and help you become such a "Strong Man" who really understands yourself! Then we shall go into what an erection of the penis really is.

What happens is different when the penis is erect?

The mechanism of getting an erection is a complicated interplay of psychological and physical factors that involves coordinating the actions of the brain, nerves, blood vessels and hormones. This is significant as, humans instead of a solid penile bone have soft tissue which is called the Corpus Cavernosum, unlike most of the other animal species.

This extraordinarily complex process is enabled by our senses, whether it’s a seductive photo on the cover of a magazine, spellbinding animation, or an irresistible sound cue.

This external stimulation activates our sympathetic nervous system to dilate the small arteries and blood vessels within the penis. This vasodilation substantially increases the blood flow, making the corpus cavernosum engorged and enlarged.

The penis transmutes when the corpus cavernosum (a vascular channel rich structure) is engorged with blood; Penis becomes rigid and hard.

Also, why are all erect penises asymmetric?

The penis may look at different angles: It is naturally curled at different directions due to it's different positions when it is tense and erected.

When men stand, approximately 90% of them have a penis angle of erection, which varies from 30° to 120°. Such a broad variety can assist inconducting painless vigorous and comfortable sexual life.

Strangely enough, a lot of guys think that an erection should sit at or under a 90° angle, but 2/3s of guys actually have an erection standing up where it is WAY above 90°.

What are the problems faced in try to get erection?

The penis does not always rise to the occasion, and often fatigue, lack of desire, or an overall aversion to sexual intercourse can result in an erection that just doesn’t quite get there.

But if the penis regularly faces difficulty in gaining or maintaining a normal erection to enable a satisfying sexual intercourse, that can mean the occurrence of erectile dysfunction and a repeated performance like this requires a a doctor’s consultation.

Does having an erection mean I want an erection?

In this context, however, it should be acknowledged that there are similarities between boys and girls. A hard penis in a boy does not necessarily mean it is seeking sexual pleasure any more than a girl’s moistness indicates that she wants to engage in the sex act.

Actually, there are times when the penis will get hard for no reason at all, like early in the morning or in the middle of the night.

These bed erections are physiological reflexes that happen all on their own, without you even having to think about sex or do anything to achieve them.

The frequency of nighttime erections are usually four to six times in the middle of the night and it can last 20 – 40 minutes at one time. A morning erection is essentially the final stage of a series of nocturnal erections that occurred during the night.

Because of the exquisite sensitivity of the penis to touch, it may become erect in response to even minimal amounts of external stimulation, and so reflexively to incidental contact.

As a result, the penis is in constant state of alert and will show an erection when required for such a response.

Executive Synopsis

The complex pathophysiology of erection involves several vascular, neurological, and hormonal systems.

Everyone has their own erection angle and 30° to 120° is perfectly normal.

Here is why getting an erection isn’t always a simple process and why it also depends on your body and mind!

"Whether it's like three times a week or less often, all men know that they can't get an erection, and for the most part, it's very rare that we would consider going to see a doctor," Landon said.

There are of course physiological, if involuntary hard-ons that are not related to a conscious wish to engage in sexual activity.

The more you know about your body and what it takes to produce an erection, the better you can perform for an extended period and the more confidence you will have in your own body’s power in the bedroom.

I do hope that this essay has given you a better sense of your physiology – and how nuanced that physiology is!
