How much of a good sign is morning wood?

Yep, morning wood returning is the first sign you're on the road to recovery.

Keep abstaining Hard Mode, and you should regain erections at other times too

 

It's a great sign. Usually once I start getting them it means I'm back to normal and can hit the ol' pickup bar again

What day are you on?

 

So masturbation has a negative effect on erection strength and morning wood?

 

Masturbation even without porn will certainly continue to delay your return to normal erection strength, because your penis is still used to the sensation of your hands rubbing it, and your brain is still used to watching that happen. It's only when you stop completely that your body is prompted to become sensitised again to fantasy and proper sex.

 

For some guys it's a month. For me it's about 60 days. There have been extreme accounts on here of 27 months! (yikes)

There's no reason way of knowing how long it will take for you. Just gotta keep walking the line.

 

Yeah its a good sign that you have to get up and take a piss. That's about the only reason we get morning wood.

 

While its true that during a streak of no pmo that morning wood may be more prominent due to the increased sensitivity of that area, ultimately it only happens because we need to urinate. I think you are kidding yourself, its extremely rare to get morning wood without having a need to urinate even if only a little. Pay attention next time. This is the same reason that wet dreams often happen when someone has a full bladder while sleeping. The pressure of the bladder pushes on things and causes erection.

 

Yes, it is a great sign! Took me about 30 days - I had suffered from dead dick for years - then one day, woke up and bang bang bang look who's here!!

This NoFap stuff works.

 

I have had recurrent morning wood back n forth since I've started nofap in 2014. But each time I pmo, I'm back to square one or the process delayed. If you are a severe addict and go nofap, it could take years to get back to normal erection if you keep poking the bear. Because you'll probably have a set of morning wood here n there and go back to flatline from time to time until your brain is healed completely

 

It's a very good sign; it means that both your dopamine receptors and androgen receptors are healing, and you're well on your way to getting back to your default brain chemistry and a healthy hormonal balance. I've seen a lot of people refer to the NoFap rebooting process as a second puberty, and there's a lot of truth in that.

 

Nightly erections are a byproduct of a natural stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system at night. This particular system relaxes the muscles, slows the heart rate, and kicks off a deeper dream state. But it also sends more blood to the arteries of the penis.

It has nothing to do with having to pee.

 

Like other people said, it is a good sign.

 

It's a good sign. You are on the right track. Your brain is resetting to when you were porn free.

 

Alright dude, you must be a woman if you’re trying to argue that morning wood and wet dreams have absolutely nothing to do with piss.

 

They don't have anything to do with urination though lol. I wake up with morning wood even when I don't have to piss. Morning wood is more to do with testosterone levels peaking in the morning.

"Your testosterone level is at its highest in the morning after you wake up. It is highest immediately after waking up from rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage. The increase in this hormone alone may be enough to cause an erection, even in the absence of any physical stimulation."

You are stupid.

 

Yeah I’m stupid for trusting my own experience from years of being a man instead of a stupid ass health line article..

 

Just stop it already. You are just looking straight up dumb.

I've had morning woods and wet dreams and in none of them I had the stimulus to piss.
