Men get erections when there is increased blood flow to the penis, usually in response to sexual arousal or stimulation. This causes the erectile tissue in the penis to fill with blood and become firm. Hormones and nerve signals play a key role in this process.

Young men can get them even because of a sight of a beautiful girl, but usually when there is a 'sure evidence' of upcoming sexual interaction.

It's not just little boys. All males get erections during the night, especially when you have to urinate.

What age do you get boners?

Males can start getting spontaneous erections as early as infancy, but typically begin experiencing more frequent and intentional erections during puberty, usually between the ages of 10 and 14. Erections are a normal physiological response that can occur throughout a man's life.


What causes painful erections?

Painful erections can be caused by a condition called Peyronie's disease, which involves the development of fibrous scar tissue in the penis. Other possible causes include priapism (prolonged erections), penile fractures, infections, or certain medications. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.


At what age do boys get erections?

Boys can start getting erections in utero, with some experiencing erections shortly after birth. Erections become more frequent during puberty, typically starting around the ages of 11-15, as the body begins producing increased levels of testosterone.


What is the average number of erections a day?

On average, adult males may experience 3-5 erections during sleep, known as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT). Erections during waking hours can vary widely based on individual factors such as age, health, and sexual activity.


If the cause of erections is blood flow why do you not have a constant erection?

Erections are not constant because the body has mechanisms that regulate blood flow to the penis. When you are not sexually aroused, blood flow to the penis is restricted by the contraction of blood vessels, preventing a continuous erection. Erections occur in response to sexual stimulation when these blood vessels relax, allowing increased blood flow to the penis.

Does men get errections for no sexual stimulation?

They can do yes. These are called spontaneous erections or involuntary erections. They occur when blood suddenly rushes into the penis (erections are caused by blood flow into the penis). It's very common in men when they wake up in the mornings.


Why do you get erections when looking at men?

Men get boners (or more correctly erections) when they usually see women or if they are gay another man. Women can discharge if they are sexually aroused by looking at a man. During puberty erections may come at unusual times. Mature men generally only get erections when they are sexually aroused. If a man is homosexual, this arousal will be triggered by other men. It's possible that you, on some level, find other men to be sexually attractive. It's also possible that while you were gazing at a man, your mind was thinking about something sexual, whether related to men or women.
