    This feels so relatable, started the new year eating healthier and started jogging, and now the morning wood has returned. So being lazy and unhealthy was the cause, not the age

    Who the fuck thinks it stops at 30?

    That shit keeps going long after you could do anything with it. It’s an automatic process that helps maintain the tissues. I’ve seen people over 100 get nighttime wood.

        Lmao!

        Lemon party anyone?

        Nah, I was a nurse’s assistant for twenty years.

        People vastly underestimate how functional people stay. Yeah, more age means more chances of things breaking down, but it isn’t everything, and it isn’t all at once.

        Now, the oldest erect penis I ever sae was 103. I actually shared a last name with that gentleman, which is tangential, but gives me hope ;)

        I’d enter his room of a morning, and maybe 3/5 days, he’d be at full attention. Sometimes, it would last a while too. He’d apologize, “that thing ain’t never had no manners”. But sometimes he’d be in a different mood and pop off with something like “well hello old soldier, nice to see you again”.

        Dude was pretty awesome in a lot of ways. Half blind, but his hearing was solid. Any new men that started work, he’d say they were just the purtiest gurl he’d ever laid eyes on, and ask them for some sugar. Most guys, they’d chuckle and say they weren’t a girl, and he’d play dumb with them, and just start flirting hard.

        And, despite being half blind, the man wrecked on poker and bridge nights.

        For real though, most men are going to have at least occasional wood all their life. There’s stuff that can interfere with it, but it’s the norm, not the exception, for at least morning wood to be a thing.

    I’ve read that it happens on a full bladder to keep from peeing 🤷‍♀️ ok an ex told me that, I didn’t read it anywhere lol but I’m sure there’s a biological reason

      I think full bladder can force one, but I certainly had it even without a full bladder.

      I read from Cracked.com that it’s your body’s way of making sure everything is still functional down there.
