roydavis0368 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 No clear age is set for the end of "morning wood" or nighttime penile tumescence (NPT). When someone is in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, usually early in the morning, they can get an erection on their own. This is called NPT. Here are some general rules about when morning wood might get less or stop: Normal throughout life: NPT is a normal bodily process that can happen at any age, from childhood to old age, as long as the man is healthy overall. Lessens with age: But as you get older, especially after age 50 to 60, the number and strength of your morning erections may slowly go down. Health problems and their effects: Diabetes, heart disease, nerve diseases, low testosterone, and some drugs can all affect NPT and make it drop faster than normal changes that come with getting older. Differences between people: When NPT starts to go down varies a lot from person to person. Some men still get erections in the morning when they are in their 70s or 80s. Not a sign of sexual dysfunction: Not having morning wood is not always a sign of erectile dysfunction (ED), since ED is defined by not being able to get an erection when sexually aroused. For the record, men get fewer morning erections as they age, especially after age 60, but there is no set "expiration age." Taking care of your general health can help NPT last as long as possible. If your morning erections suddenly go away when you're younger, you may need to see a doctor. thomas, marylander1940, pubic_assistance and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Hagen Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) My very close friend who passed away this last summer at 84 reported that at 82 his Morning woods pretty much ended. He certainly was able to get erections at other times of day or night, but the reflexive morning ones were gone.

SirBillybob Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Just find somebody with a skilful sensitive tongue to tally an estimate of the number of rings accumulated at point of consistent nocturnal tumescence cessation and that reveals age.

SometimesBi Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 As we age, I have noticed something about myself that might work for others. I usually wear shorts or PJs to bed, especially during colder seasons. But with warmer weather, I may sleep naked. It seems to me that morning wood is more likely without clothes. My theory is that with clothes on, the typical movement during sleep doesn't cause any stimulation. But without clothes, and movement can also cause your manhood to rub against the bed sheets, mattress, etc. And even the slightest stimulation like that may steer the brain to dream of something more arousing? I think more research is needed. pizzaBoy and Whippoorwill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my own part though (early 50's) I still wake up with raging hard-on's. But if you guys know a way to bring wet dreams back, then let's talk. (For me, they were cancelled around the same time as "Cheers,") (Also, can I just say I hate the term "morning wood"? Always felt like it was missing an "Avenue" or "Estates" at the end.)

+ purplekow Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 For those who are curious, one can do the stamp test. Noctural erections may continue though awakening with an erection may dissipate. Take a few stamps and firmly encircle your penis with the stamps. In the morning, if the stamp perforations are broken, then it is likely you had at least one nocturnal erection even if you did not awaken with one. Totally losing nocturnal erections is abnormal and no matter what the age, it is worth mentioning to you doctor. If he does not pay heed to this or wants to attribute it age alone, find another doctor. pubic_assistance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, it's an interesting test. Whippoorwill, Johnrom and Redwine56 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought a wet dream simply occurred when too much semen had built up over time. In other words, if one didn't get off for long enough, a wet dream might occur. Of course, I have sex or JO far too often, so no way I'd get a wet dream now. Redwine56 and Whippoorwill 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
