Why do we get Morning wood?

[Silklove]

A lot of interesting views everyone.

It must be a guy thing, I've never had "morning wood"- not even before hrt.

I've never had a wet dream or even a dream with sexual content either.

But I don't claim to be normal so perhaps I am just an oddball with this.

Hey! I'm a TG (just starting, no hormones yet) and I have gotten them! I've had many dreams of a sexual nature. I love when that happens.

Vala,

It is caused by a release of testosterone that occurs near the end of the sleep cycle.

Actually, its to do with the peak in testosterone levels in your body..........7/8 am, to ensure you are "safer"...if you have to do the whole flight or fight thingy.....at dawn is when the human animal is at its most vulnerable from attack from animals/humans.......in other words prepared for all eventualities.....

ahhhhhhhh so that explains why i dont wake up with wood anymore

Despite what you have been told, morning wood is a sign of a serious and life threatening condition. Silklove, I suggest you kill yourself immediately so that you do not die a HORRIBLE and PAINFUL death.
