So, I see people here talking about spontaneous erections. Do people get erections just chilling doing nothing and then you have an erection?
Or just talking about the morning? But that doesn't seem spontaneous.
talkin bout boners
For a cis guy with a penis, it's supposed to periodically fill while asleep - "morning wood." It can also happen during REM sleep, usually it cycles a few times a night. All very typical physiology. For a girl or enby with a penis who doesnt want one, this can be dysphoric obviously.Spontaneous during the day erections definitely are more common during puberty, but can be a thing that happens into adulthood. Sometimes it's in response to the normal varying cycle of testeosterone doing it's thing, sometimes in response to some kind of stimulation (like riding a diesel engine bus that rumbles), but it's not ever in response to sexual stimuli. An erection in response to something sexual is just expected lol, no need for the spontaneous label.
If it wasn't something that happened to you post puberty, no big deal that's fine and normal too. My spontaneous erections vastly decreased compared to puberty when I was an adult, and they've now stopped after enough E and T blockers. When they happened, yeah it could be from nothing, literally just sitting down.

Puberty sucked. Glad that's behind me.Well, I've got second puberty in front of me, so... That one might be better
Sometimes, yes. I feel like it happens more when I haven't masturbated in a while.
I think those count as spontaneous too, since you aren't trying for it.
genitals, sex
Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out if my dick has non-typical behavior lolSo this is to say that you're not thinking anything sexual, and it just happens?
It only happens to me if I'm thinking something horny. That's more likely to happen if I haven't orgasmed in a while, but I guess it's hard to tell if the body is causing the thoughts or the thoughts are causing the body to react. Or if I'm touched in a particular way, even if I'm not horny.
It's never like, unprompted, tho. Not since puberty.

I'm pretty sure either way is typical, I don't think you need to worry.Yes, no horny thoughts at all. One of the more recent times I remember I was curled up crying and it just happened Maybe I'm not the right person to talk to though, its not like a daily thing.

I'm not worried, the rest of me is weird, so it's no surprise that my dick is weird, too!spoiler
For me it did well after puberty. I could be focused on a math textbook and get erections. Also, pretty asexual though, so perhaps it just doesn't lead sexual thought for me? If I orgasmed the night before, they were uncommon I think, but that meant my body got used to getting horny at bedtime, so it would prepare...
Guess also sometimes people get them when they have to pee? I used to think erections were just something related to needing to pee until at least 6th grade and didn't know they were called that.
Either way, glad HRT change that pretty quickly.

My dick is just lazy, I guess
