There are at least 3 'origins' of boner as penile erection: (1) from the word bone, because a boner appears to have a bone in it (in dogs it does, in man it doesn't) when in fact it feels more like a flexed bicep; (2) from the French bon heur (happy hour, good time, whatever); (3) from boner, meaning a faux pas, an embarrassing event, an awkward moment, etc. Because muscles are relaxed in a boner, it may well be the 'natural' state of the penis whereas the flaccid state may be 'unnatural'.
