[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]hmmm.... doesn't he even have early morning erections?  Can't you make your move then?  If he doesn't, it is a medical problem...[/quote]

Op here : thanks good point,that's what I read and that's what I wanted to test again. I actually asked him  a few moths ao so ith that same argument "if you don't have one it means something is wrong", he mumbled something about yes of course ( but the tone was very unconvincing, and he sounded preoccupied, I didnt really buy it) and added that the problem was that he was never waking up when he actually felt rested.

One question I have: do you guys think that the fact that we used to make love mostly in the mornings (not always but I d say at least 60/70% of the time) is a red flag? Now that I think about it I wonder if he was not already just riding that easy mechanical erection instead of feeling real desire for me :(

Question to men more specifically: is that morning erection/morning desire of a different nature ? What's the differemce ?[/quote]

"Circadian rhythms can have an impact on many bodily functions, and testosterone levels are no exception. Normally, they are highest in the morning, usually at about 8 a.m. A man's testosterone levels then decline throughout the rest of the day, reaching a low point before bedtime--the theory being that he does not need testosterone while he sleeps. The day's events can change this pattern, however."

"Harvard Medical School notes that while circadian rhythms and social challenges can raise testosterone, the effect is somewhat more limited in men with significant body fat, especially fat located at the abdomen."

"“It's like a stop sign to blood flow, but as you enter REM sleep, norepinephrine decreases and testosterone-related actions are now able to take place. This leads to vasodilation, or increased blood flow to the blood vessels, ultimately causing an erection,” says ASAP Science. During the sleep cycle, the extra blood increases oxygenation as it serves as a system of repair and helps to maintain functionality. Morning wood is just a remnant of REM sleep, which is why men wake up to erections."[/quote]
