Sex expert reveals what it means if you regularly get morning wood

Your morning friend is actually a good omen

If you ever wake up standing at full attention then it's good news - as a sex expert has revealed that getting morning wood is a sign of good health. Kate Moyle, a sex and relationship expert from sex toy manufacturer LELO, revealed that waking up with morning wood does not equate to being horny. Speaking to the Sun she said: "Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) doesn't mean that a man has woken up turned on, or just had an erotic dream (although that may sometimes be the case). "It's actually a sign of healthy circulation and nervous system activity." It's understood that men experience between three to five erections a night, which obviously means that those with insomnia are in for a busy night's work. Moyle did however urge men to keep an eye on their downstairs activity as you might need to visit your GP if it suddenly stops. She explained: "If these morning erections suddenly stop then it can be an indicator of an underlying health condition. "And it's worth discussing with your doctor."

She said: "Anyone who is having unprotected sex - not just intercourse but other forms of sex like oral sex - can catch an STI. "Some STIs are symptomless and so it's a good idea to test regularly, which can easily be done by visiting a sexual health clinic, or using a home testing kit." Ultimately, Moyle recommends using protection and getting regularly tested to make sure your sexual health is the best it can be.
