Morning wood. Uggh

[ShawnaLeigh]

I can tell the HRT drugs I had been taking are wearing off now.  I am getting the dreaded morning erections again.  Its so gross to me now.  I hate it.

I cannot wait to be put back on HRT even more now.

Its just a little thing but I don't need it trying to poke my tummy when I roll over...

Honestly though, I never understood why it had to be a thing, even for cis guys, there's no real evolutionary purpose. In any case that really sucks and I hope you get back on HRT soon!

It's no big thing, it simply means your bladder is full and it's time to get up and go pee. I'm in my 70's was on estrogen sans testicles for 20 years and though the little fella became atrophied and so small that it spent much of it's time inverted, it would still be standing up to it's full actual 3" in the morning because I had to pee. Once you have GRS and the last trace of erectile tissue is removed then you will never have to deal with it again.

Not really buying the morning pee the Tory.  At least for me.  I haven’t had one in quite some time.  Pee or not.  I pee like a horse every morning too.  Lol

Sorry to deflate this one, but in most GCS some of the erectile tissue is preserved and repurposed in the labial and clitoral construction by the better surgeons, and having had one of the good surgeons (see below) I still get clitoral erections every now and then and some in my labia as well. 

 

The morning problems are based on dreams you will not remember as you wake up, and are not all that often from ones that are sex oriented in the nice way.  One of mine was a dream in which I did remember a bit of where I had been knifed below the belt line and I actually was jolted out of bed onto the floor by that one.  It is basically just nerves and your REM sleep patterns short circuiting from stress.  People try some risky behaviors to have that happen in waking life I might add.

It's related to the hormonal cycles in an intact man. Naturally they're highest in the morning and they result in an erection. I still get a whisper of it some mornings but it settles down before I'm done brushing my teeth.

 

@Clara There's no survival disadvantage for it either. It just is so natural selection doesn't really care. If circumstances changed so that there was a reproductive advantage or disadvantage then the instances would increase or decrease accordingly across generations. Science!

 

They are, however, annoying as all get-out when you're trying to get presentable in the morning and the darn thing Just. Won't. Calm. Down. I'm much happier without, thank you.

 

Hugs!

That was understood, otherwise the neo-clitoris wouldn't be available for the party. What I was alluding to is that there would never be another woodie sticking up like the center pole of a tent under the sheets. Lol!

But what about our friends that sleep on their stomach??  LOL

It does and doesn't bother me. I hate getting hard in the mornings, BUT...I look at it as My bladder is full and it's time to tinkle. I just think of it as my external clitoris. It is insanely uncomfortable.

I’m just not getting the “have to pee” wood though.  I never did before.  It doesn’t feel like it “stems” from a sexual dream either it’s just hard and I don’t want it to be.  
I did not have this issue when I was self medicating hrt either.  One of the many things I liked about hrt.  I look forward to a doctors supervised hrt regiment badly.  

For all the benefits not just this one. Lol?
