The cause of an erection is not simply blood flow, but rather INCREASED blood flow. When a man gets aroused, the body increases blood flow to the penis which causes the erection.
No.. But it does of course make it more vulnerable to pain since it's erect. Bending it or anything similar can hurt it, but if a man is erect for too long without ejaculation, it causes pain to his genitals.
Vacuum pumping to increase the size of the penis has been around for over a hundred years. Various gadgets and gizmos have been invented to apply negative pressure to the exterior of the penis, usually in a tube, to cause increase blood flow and congestion in the penis. Vacuum pumping is a valid, recognized therapy to increase the firmness of an erection in men who have diagnosed erectile dysfunction caused by damage or disease processes like diabetes and atherosclerosis. These diseases impair the blood flow to the spongy tissues of the penis that cause an erection when filled with blood. The vacuum pump is used to engorge the penis until it is erect, and then a silicone or rubber constricting ring is fitted around the base of the penis to restrict the outflow of blood. This maintains the erection until sexual activity has concluded, and must be removed shortly thereafter. Some men use pumping as a "fetish" activity, and strive to create massively large erections. There are some magazines devoted to practitioners of pumping and they offer various tips to maximize the experience. There are many dangers associated with pumping, mostly related to physical injury. Repeated or excessive pumping can result in ruptured blood vessels, and damage to the corpus cavernosa (the spongy erectile tissue of the penis). Injuries such as this threaten the circulation in the tissues, can result in necrosis and may require amputation. In short, pumping can be fun, but like anything, is definitely dangers when taken to extremes.
Yes, it is possible for a paralyzed male from the waist down to still get an erection.

It is a common misconception that men experience erections when they die. In reality, erections can occur after death due to a phenomenon called "cadaveric spasm," where muscles contract and can cause the appearance of an erection. This is a physical response and not related to any sexual arousal or desire.
No a yeast infection do not do that. but talking about erections, if you have a yeast infection you should not have sex with another person since you can give it to them.
I'm surprised someone would have to ask, but since erections are related to blood flow, and since smoking damages your cardiopulmonary system, the answer is obvious; comprised cardiopulmonary system, compromised (or lack of) erection.

No, Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) does not specifically target or travel to the penis to cause an erection. Erections are stimulated by increased blood flow to the corpus cavernosum tissue in the penis when a man is aroused. Nitrous oxide is a general vasodilator that can potentially improve blood flow throughout the body, but it is not a targeted treatment for erectile dysfunction.
No. Erections are not linked to constipation.
An erection "boner" is a natural function of the male copulatory organ. ....on a lighter side: A boner is a perfect knife to use if you are de-boning a chicken. It can follow the bone and allow a prescision cut and allow you to flay the meat so it has a perfect presentation on the plate. Also for fish too!
During erection, the urethra stretches and lengthens. A urethra that is already inflamed by a urinary tract infection (UTI) may become painful during erection and sexual intercourse. UTI's, in and of themselves, rarely cause erections. Unintended erections may occur as a result of hypersensitivity of the penis secondary to inflammation. Because of the capacity of UTI's to produce scarring and other deleterious effects, they should not go untreated. Don't suffer in silence or be embarrassed, seek medical help as soon as possible.
