Do Women Get Morning Erection?

Women Morning Erection

Have you ever had a seriously powerful sex dream? One where you wake feeling like you're literally either about to come or have just come? Just the other night, I found myself in the thick of a steamy tryst with my man, only to wake up right before orgasm.

Obviously, I rolled over to finish the job IRL, but this got me thinking.

We talk a whole lot about morning wood as it pertains to people assigned male at birth. Even the name is masculine-leaning: you have a penis, the penis gets hard like wood. Morning wood. Got it. Check.

As many things do this in this patriarchal world in which we live, the vulva-owning among us are left confused and bewildered. Women totally have sex dreams. Plenty of them. All the time. This morning wood, mostly-men-only club is over. It's canceled.

Women can wake up, post-sleep-orgasm, wet and ready for morning sex and another orgasm. Morning wood is totally a thing for women. I'd suggest a more inclusive name change, but morning wood is so cheeky and appealing, in my humble opinion.

Science agrees

A study found that 37 percent of women have experienced an orgasm during sleep, while over 70 percent have experienced a highly sexual and arousing dream at some point in their lives. Obviously, am I right?

According to a study from the Kinsey Institute, where researchers measured and observed female genitals while people slept, they found blood flow increases to the clitoris in the same manner that it flows to the penis during REM sleep, our deepest form of sleep. This happens because during sleep, nor-epinephrine decreases, which contributes to many things in the body, including blood pressure and your fight or flight response. When you're in REM sleep, blood flow isn't as regulated and you're more relaxed.

"This increase of blood flow in the genital area can sexually arouse the body even during sleep. This is why some women wake up from sleep with intense warmth or sensation in the genital area after experiencing a sleep orgasm," says Dr. Kristie Over-street, PhD, clinical sexologist and psychotherapist. This explains why I'm always down to go for an in real life romp after a hot and heavy sex dream.

The penis and clitoris are not so different

The penis and clitoris are made from the same erectile tissue. They are homologous to each other and experience pleasure and arousal in very similar ways. In fact, in the first few weeks in uteri, the penis and clitoris are identical to each other.

It makes sense that both sex organs would have the ability to become aroused and engorged and even produce orgasm during sleep in similar ways as well.

Lord knows the clitoris is engorged like wood, too. Anyone else excited to go to sleep tonight? Anyone?

You can even have multiple orgasms!

Another amazing thing you probably didn't know about: you can have multiple orgasms while you're asleep. Now, not every woman is multi-orgasmic, but many of us are. So, if you're able to have multiple orgasms in a day/single sex session, the same is possible while you're off in dreamland.

"[The REM] cycle of sleep allows the body to react as it would if it was awake. Some women are able to remember an erotic or sexually arousing dream they had. Just as women can have multiple orgasms when they are awake, they can also have them during their sleep," says Dr. Over-street.

There is no "emission" though, usually

Wet dreams, or nocturnal emissions, are when a penis-having person ejaculates during sleep, hence the "wet" part in "wet dream."

Most women don't experience emissions in this same way. "Women should not expect that they would have a nocturnal emission when they have an orgasm during sleep," Dr. Over-street tells us. "They will experience an enlargement in the clitoral area and experience sensitivity in the area, as well as there is an increase in lubrication."

A female "emission" is often referred to as female ejaculation or "squirting." While many a sex coach will tell you that all women have the ability to squirt, this is actually untrue. Biologically, all women could have the ability to squirt, but not all do. It's unclear why some women squirt and others don't, but it doesn't affect your ability to experience pleasure.

Even for those who do possess the ability to squirt, it's unlikely it will occur during sleep, as squirting requires stimulation of the Skene's gland, which is located inside the vagina near the G-spot and urethra.

But, seriously, why aren't we talking about this?

To circle back to my original questions in the introduction of this article: Why are we still calling this "morning wood" when it can happen to all people assigned female at birth too, and why aren't we even aware that women (and all people assigned female at birth) are able to get aroused and orgasm during sleep?

Dr. Over-street says it's because of the differing ways in which we view female vs. male sexuality. "This isn't being talked about because it's more acceptable in our society to talk about men and morning wood. Women aren't thought of as sexual beings compared to men. Women are told to remain quiet about all things related to sex, and if they discuss their bodies or sex, then they will be thought of in a negative light."

Snaps, girl. I hear you.

Another thing that contributes to this confusion and lack of understanding is the negation of "emission." Women don't wake up with wet, sticky sheets after a sleep orgasm. Without the clear evidence in front of us, this leads us to believe that the orgasm didn't take place or isn't possible.

"This can be confusing for women and create doubt that they had the experience," Dr. Over-street says.

The only way to fix this silliness? Education and discussion. The more widespread conversation we have around sex, pleasure, and how our bodies work, the more people will understand how their bodies function and experience pleasure.

What is clitoral atrophy?

Clitoral Atrophy

The clitoris is a nub of spongy tissue at the front of the vagina. Recent research reveals that much of the clitoris is internal, having 4-inch roots that reach into the vagina. When sexually aroused it fills with blood, and the bundle of nerves in the tissue becomes sensitive to touch.

Clitoral atrophy occurs when the clitoris stops responding to sexual arousal and no longer functions as it should. The clitoris can even disappear. This may be the result of a change in hormones or inadequate blood flow to the vagina and clitoris.

The loss of blood flow may be the result of infrequent use. Those who aren’t sexually active are more likely to experience clitoral atrophy. A major shift in hormones, such as menopause or starting hormonal birth control, may be another cause.

Clitoral atrophy is less common than vaginal atrophy. That condition occurs when a drop in estrogen causes the vaginal tissues to become dry, thin, and inflamed. It’s common with menopause.

Loss of sensation is a serious sexual issue. The clitoris is often considered a key to female orgasm. The nerves in the clitoris can produce intense sensations during sexual activity.

Read on to learn more about the symptoms of clitoral atrophy, as well as what can be done to help restore sensation and sexual function.

What are the symptoms?

You’re more likely to experience the symptoms of clitoral atrophy when you’re sexually aroused. These symptoms include:

“disappeared” clitoris (you no longer can feel it, even when sexually aroused)
loss of sensation around the clitoris
decreased response to clitoral stimulation
decreased sexual drive

What causes clitoral atrophy?

Clitoral atrophy can result from a lack of sexual use. If you stop having regular intercourse or frequent arousals, the clitoris may become dry and thin. It can even shrink and disappear behind the clitoral hood.

Because the clitoris relies on adequate blood flow, your doctor may recommend regular sexual activity, including masturbation. This can help restore blood flow, which may boost sensation again.

Clitoral atrophy may also occur when your testosterone level drops. Testosterone is responsible for your libido. The spongelike tissue in a clitoris also needs the hormone for proper arousal.

Testosterone levels, however, fall as menopause nears. They may also decrease when starting birth control or estrogen supplements.

Those who have a full hysterectomy may experience clitoral atrophy. Because the ovaries are responsible for producing both estrogen and testosterone, removing them could lead to a loss of testosterone. Ultimately, this could cause clitoral atrophy.

The loss of estrogen following a hysterectomy could also lead to vaginal atrophy.

When to seek help:-

Sexual health is important for your overall health. Clitoral atrophy may be an overlooked but serious cause of female sexual dysfunction.

If you’re experiencing sexual issues, talk with your doctor. They’re fully equipped to help you find answers and treatments. They can refer you to a specialist, too.

Before your appointment, create a list of symptoms you’ve recently experienced. If you’re having issues with sexual arousal, odds are you’re experiencing other issues, too. This may include muscle weakness or fatigue.

Even if you think the symptoms aren’t related to your sexual difficulty, make a note of them.

At your appointment, discuss your major concern — the sexual complaint. Then, let your doctor know about other issues you’ve experienced. They can decide if they may be related.

If they think so, they can order tests that can help determine that, or they will look for separate issues that may be happening.

How is it diagnosed?

There’s no single test or physical exam that can definitively diagnose clitoral atrophy. Instead, doctors may rely on a physical exam, your reported symptoms, and other tests to reach a diagnosis.

Doctors don’t always inspect the clitoris and clitoral hood during a routine physical, such as a yearly pelvic exam. So, during your appointment, your doctor may want to do a physical exam of your clitoris and possibly your vagina.

Blood tests are also useful for checking hormone levels and to determine if your testosterone is below normal. These blood tests may also help your doctor rule out other possible causes for low sexual libido at the same time.

If these tests don’t conclusively pinpoint a potential problem, your doctor may try treating the sexual complaint as if it were clitoral atrophy.

If you regain some sensation, the treatment may continue. If you don’t have any response to the treatment, you and your doctor can begin looking for other potential causes.

Treatment options :

Treatment depends on what your doctor thinks may be responsible for the loss of sensation in the first place. Here are some of the most common treatments:

Have sex. Regular sexual activity can help your clitoris stay healthy and sensitive. It may help restore the feeling in the sensitive nub, too.
Get moving. You can also help increase blood flow with regular cardio exercise. Cardio exercise helps boost blood flow throughout the body. What’s good for the body is good for the clitoris and vagina. Regular exercise can also keep testosterone levels from dipping.
Try testosterone replacements. Testosterone supplements are often used as a treatment for clitoral atrophy. As a cream, pill, or injection, these options can help restore your testosterone so your body is capable of producing an adequate sexual response. Your doctor will need to prescribe these treatments.

Talking to your partner :-

Talking to your partner

A healthy sexual relationship relies on openness and transparency. That includes talking about what feels good — and what doesn’t.

If you’ve noticed a change in sensation during sex, talking with your partner may help the two of you find ways you can still enjoy intercourse while you work with your doctor for a treatment.

These tips may help you start the discussion:

Be frank. There’s no sense in hiding that something has changed. Let them know the same stimulation isn’t producing the identical response it has in the past. If you’ve already talked with your doctor, you can volunteer information about that appointment and what the doctor recommended to help restore sensation.
Volunteer new ideas. While letting your partner know about the change in your body’s response to clitoral stimulation, talk with them about exploring fun new options. Include different positions and types of sexual stimulation.
Keep an open line of communication. If clitoral orgasm has been the best option for your sexual encounters, the two of you can try other types of orgasm, including vaginal or G-spot.
Take the focus off orgasm. The clitoris can provide intense pleasure during sex or masturbation. However, you can still achieve a great deal of sexual satisfaction without the big O. Focus on other erogenous zones, like the nipples, head, and feet. Clitoral stimulation isn’t the only option you have.

Outlook :-

Clitoral atrophy may be one of the most underreported sexual health issues. Treatment is possible, though. That’s why it’s important to talk with a doctor or healthcare provider when you first begin noticing symptoms.

Whether or not your symptoms are caused by a lack of blood flow or low testosterone, a doctor can help you identify the underlying cause and find a solution that works best for you.

Mind-Blowing Facts About The Clitoris.

Some Facts About the Clitoris .

The clitoris may seem like just a little nub on top of the vagina, but anyone who has one knows it can be quite powerful for something so small. While you're no doubt aware of how awesome your clitoris is, there's probably a lot you still don't know about it.

Here are a few mind-boggling facts that will make you (even more) proud to have a clitoris.

1. It's way bigger than it looks.

The clitoris is actually shaped like a wishbone with legs that extend into the vagina, leading scientists to theorize that the vaginal orgasm some women experience actually results from stimulation of parts of the clitoris within the vagina. The part of the clitoris we can see is just the tip of the iceberg—it can be up to 20 times the length inside.

2. It starts off the same as the penis.

Since the clitoris and penis develop from the same structure in the womb and work similarly, some scientists have called the clitoris the "female penis" But we could just as easily (perhaps even more accurately) say that the penis is a big clitoris. The organ that both males and females start off with is somewhere between a clitoris and a penis, and the addition and suppression of hormones makes it grow into one or the other.

3. It grows throughout your life.

Your clitoris keeps on growing even after other parts of your body are done. Due to changes in hormones, it almost doubles in size during puberty, and it gets even bigger—almost seven times its length at birth—after menopause.

4. It has a lot of nerve endings.

The clitoris has 7,000 sensory nerve endings. That's more than any other part of the body and at least as many as the glans on the penis—just packed into a smaller area.

5. It gets an erection.

Your clitoris gets bigger and harder when you're turned on due to increased blood flow and then goes back down to its normal size after you orgasm. So, basically, "lady boner" is not just a slang term—it's anatomically accurate.

6.The clitoris varies in size and shape on different women.

Some are hidden under the hood, and some stick out. Some like to be touched softly and others like a lot of pressure. It takes time to get to know a woman's clitoris. Don't assume that you know what it likes. Take your time and get to know each unique clitoris, just like you would take the time to get to know the woman it is attached to.

7. People have all kinds of nicknames for the clitoris.

You may have heard "man in canoe," "rosebud," "joy buzzer," "cherry pit," "love button," or "bald man in a boat," just to name a few. I have also heard chick pea and lentils. Anyone have a chip?

8. The clitoris is designed to bring a woman pleasure.

That is its sole purpose. Not reproduction.

9. Yes, there are all kinds of orgasms.

Vaginal, Cervical and G Spot Orgasms do exist, but they are much harder for most women to achieve than a clitoral orgasm. Very few women are able to achieve an orgasm without any kind of clitoral involvement. There is nothing immature about women having orgasms through their clitoris. Sorry, Dr. Sigmund Freud.

10. The clitoris is only partially visible to the naked eye.

The clitoris is actually close to four inches in length (kinda like the average non-erect penis), but three-fourths of it is hidden from view within a female's body. It's buried treasure. Think of all that pleasure potential in the entire region. Have you explored it?

What Is Clitoral Erections?

Everything You Wanted to Know About Clitoral Erections.

Clitoral

Having a healthy relationship with your body is important, and this includes your sexual health. The clitoris is a fascinating organ directly related to sexual pleasure. But what does it look like, what does it do, and can girls get boners? Let’s find out all about the clitoris and the clitoral erection.

Anatomy
What does it feel like?
Signs
Priapism

Female boner: Anatomy :-

To fully understand what a clitoris does and how it changes during sexual arousal, it is important to know what it’s made of and its location. The clitoris is a complex sexual organ that develops from the same tissue as a penis.

The clitoris is made of erectile tissue, which means that some parts of the clitoris can swell and trap blood, becoming “erect” when you’re turned on. Only a small part of the clitoris is externally visible, while the rest of it is hidden under the skin. What most people call the “clitoris” is actually the glans or the visible tip of the clitoris. The parts of the clitoris are as follows:

The glans — This is the small tip of the clitoris above the urinary opening and the only part that can be seen externally. This tiny bump has an enormous number of nerve endings, making it one of the most sensitive organs in your body. Many women masturbate by touching the glans or the surrounding skin for pleasure.
Clitoral hood (shaft) — The two folds of skin of the inner labia meet and form a small hood directly above the glans, called the clitoral hood. It surrounds and protects the sensitive glans.
Corpus cavernosum — These are two spongy erectile tissues that are connected to and run on either side of the glans. When you are sexually aroused, these tissues fill up with blood.
Crura — The corpus cavernosum tissues extend into long slender crura (or legs). These crura are on either side of the vagina.
Vestibular bulbs — Under either side of the crura are two spongy bulb-like organs called vestibular bulbs or clitoral bulbs. When you’re turned on, these bulbs fill with blood, causing a clitoral erection. This swelling pushes the vulva outward. The muscle spasms of an orgasm push the blood away from the bulbs, and the erection goes away.

What does it feel like?

Since the clitoris is a sensitive sexual organ, a clitoral erection is accompanied by sexual arousal. Your vaginal lips may feel swollen and stiffer than usual. Moreover, your glans or the clitoral tip might feel very sensitive to touch. When you’re turned on during a clitoral erection, the vaginal glands may secrete discharge for lubrication to prepare for sex. Once you’ve had an orgasm, the rhythmic contraction of the vagina pushes the blood trapped in your clitoral tissues back into your system, phasing out the erection. If you do not have an orgasm when you’ve had a clitoral erection, this blood will slowly flow back into your system, but this may take longer than with an orgasm.

Сlitoral erection signs :-

During fetal development, the penis and the clitoris grow from the same tissue. Similarly to the penis tip, stimulating the clitoris is very pleasurable during sex or while masturbating. You also get a clitoral erection when you’re turned on! While a penis gets stiff externally during an erection, clitoral erections happen mostly internally, causing swelling and pressure in the vulva. Here are some signs of a clitoral erection:

The blood that gets trapped in the corpus cavernosum tissues and clitoral bulbs makes them swell and puts pressure on surrounding organs.
This pressure pushes the vulva outwards and makes the vaginal lips appear bigger and swollen.
The glans may appear swollen and bigger than usual.
The clitoral hood may pull back.
The vaginal lips will look flushed and reddish as the surrounding organs are filled with blood.
The vagina may become more lubricated.

Priapism :-

Some people can experience a rare and painful condition called clitoral priapism. This is when the clitoris becomes erect and swollen with blood for a very long time. This causes the vaginal lips and clitoral glans to become very tender, painful, and swollen. This may cause discomfort, and you might not want to have sex because of it. If you experience swollen, tender vaginal lips and a painful clitoris for hours at a time on more than one occasion, make sure to seek medical help.

woman doesn't want to have sex because of the painful clitoral erection

The clitoris plays an important role in your sexual pleasure and a healthy sex life. Formed from the same erectile tissues as the ones that create the penis, the clitoris is made up of a number of glands. And just like the penis, the clitoris also swells and fills with blood during sexual arousal. This causes a clitoral erection, in which the vaginal lips and the clitoral tip are pushed outwards, appearing swollen and bigger than usual. The vulva also turns reddish because of the blood that rushes to the pelvis when you’re turned on.

If you regularly notice unusual, tender, and painful swelling in your vaginal lips for hours, this may point to clitoral priapism. It is a rare condition and may cause discomfort and pain if left untreated. If you are not turned on, but your clitoris is still erect, and this lasts for more than four hours, make sure to seek medical attention.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

What Is Erectile Dysfunction (ED) ?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) happens when a man has ongoing problems getting and keeping an erection. Without treatment, ED can make sex difficult. The problem is reported by 1 in 5 men, and that number gets bigger with age.

Erectile dysfunction vs. Poor Sex Drive :-

Men can have several types of issues including poor sex drive and problems with ejaculation. But ED refers specifically to trouble getting or keeping an erection. You might have a healthy sex drive, but a body that won’t respond. Most of the time there is a physical basis for the problem.

Symptoms of ED :-

Symptoms of Erectile dysfunction

Symptoms of ED include:

Erections that are too soft for sex.
Erections that are don’t last long enough for sex.
An inability to get an erection.

If you can’t get or keep an erection that lasts long enough or is rigid enough for sex, you have erectile dysfunction.

Who Gets ED ?

Sexual dysfunction and ED become more common as you get older. Only about 5% of men age 40 have it. But the number rises to 15% of men age 70. This doesn’t mean growing older is the end of your sex life. Doctors can treat ED no matter your age. Age isn’t the only cause. Type 2 diabetes, obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure all make it more likely.

The Mechanics of ED :-

Causes of ED: Chronic Disease :-

Chronic Disease

The link between chronic disease and ED is most striking for diabetes. Men with diabetes are two to three times more likely to have erectile dysfunction. And it could start 10 to 15 years earlier. But blood sugar control can lower this risk. Any condition that affects the way blood flows through your body could lead to ED. This includes cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), kidney disease, and multiple sclerosis.

Causes of ED: Lifestyle :-

Lifestyle

Lifestyle choices can contribute to ED. Smoking, heavy drinking, and drug use disorder can damage the blood vessels and reduce blood flow to your penis. Being overweight and getting too little exercise also raise your odds. Studies show that men who exercise regularly have a lower risk of ED.

Causes of ED: Surgery :-

Causes of ED: Surgery

Surgery, including treatments for prostate cancer, bladder cancer, or BPH, can sometimes damage nerves and blood vessels near your penis. If the nerve damage is permanent, you’ll need treatment to get an erection. But sometimes surgery causes temporary ED that gets better on its own after 6 to 18 months.

Causes of ED: Medication :-

Causes of ED: Medication

ED may be a side effect of medication, including certain blood pressure drugs and antidepressants. Talk to your doctor if you think a prescription or over-the-counter drug may be causing erectile problems. But never stop taking any medicine before you discuss it with your doctor.

Causes of ED: Psychological :-

Causes of ED: Psychological

If you’re older, there’s probably a physical reason for your ED. But the causes can be in your head, too. Experts say stress, depression, low self-esteem, and performance anxiety can short-circuit the process that leads to an erection. These factors can also make the problem worse if your ED stems from a physical problem.

ED and Bicycling :-

ED and Bicycling

Research suggests that avid bikers are more likely to get ED than other athletes. Some bicycle seats put pressure on the perineum, an area between the anus and scrotum full of arteries and nerves vital to sexual arousal. If you bike for many hours each week, get a seat designed to protect this area.

Diagnosing ED: Physical Exam :-

Diagnosing ED: Physical Exam

To diagnose ED, the doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. They’ll do a complete physical exam to look for signs like poor circulation or nerve trouble. They’ll also check for problems in your genital area that could cause trouble with erections.

Diagnosing ED: Lab Tests :-

Lab Tests

Lab tests can help diagnose ED. Blood cell counts, blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, and liver tests can reveal medical conditions that play a role in ED.

ED: A Sign of Heart Disease ?

In some cases, ED can be a warning sign of a more serious disease. One study suggests it can predict heart attack, stroke, and even death from cardiovascular disease. If you’re diagnosed with ED, get checked for cardiovascular disease. This doesn’t mean every man with ED will develop heart disease, or that every man with heart disease has ED, but you should be aware of the link.

Treating ED: Lifestyle Changes :-

You may be able to improve your sex life with a few lifestyle changes. Giving up smoking, losing weight, and exercising more often can improve your blood flow. If you suspect a medication could be to blame, talk to your doctor about adjusting the dosage or switching to another drug.

Treating ED: Oral Medications :-

You’ve probably heard of sildenafil (Viagra), but it isn’t the only pill for ED. This class of drugs also includes avanafil (Stendra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn). All work by improving blood flow to the penis during arousal. They're generally taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity and should not be used more than once a day. You can take tadalafil up to 36 hours before sexual activity. It also comes in a lower, daily dose. All require an OK from your doctor first for safety.

Treating ED: Injections :-

Pills are an easy way to treat ED, but you might get a stronger erection from injecting medication directly into your penis. That’s because these drugs widen your blood vessels so your penis fills with blood. Another option: A medicated pellet you put into the opening at the end of your penis. The pellet can trigger an erection within 10 minutes.

Treating ED: Vacuum Devices (Pumps) :-

Vacuum devices for ED, also called pumps, offer an alternative to medication. You’ll place your penis inside a cylinder and use a pump to draw the air out. This creates a partial vacuum around your penis, which causes it to fill with blood and leads to an erection. You’ll wear an elastic band around the base of your penis to keep the erection while you have sex.

Treating ED: Surgery :-

If ED comes from a blocked artery leading to the penis, surgery can restore blood flow. The procedure usually works best on men under 30. Doctors don’t recommend it for older men with widespread narrowing of the arteries.

Treating ED: Implants :-

If you have long-term ED, a penile implant could help you have sex again. An inflatable implant uses two cylinders you can pump full of pressurized fluid. A malleable implant uses rods that let you adjust the position of your penis.

Treating ED: Psychotherapy :-

Even when ED has a physical cause, psychotherapy can help. A therapist can teach the man and their partner techniques to reduce performance anxiety and improve intimacy. Therapy can also help couples adjust to the use of vacuum devices and implants.

Treating ED: Alternative Therapies :-

Talk with your doctor before trying supplements for ED. They can contain 10 or more ingredients and could make other health conditions worse. Some men say alternative treatments help them get and keep an erection. Unfortunately, the long-term safety of these products isn’t known, so most doctors don’t recommend them.

Treating ED: Buyer Beware :-

Buyer Beware

A quick web search will reveal dozens of "dietary supplements" that claim to treat ED. But the FDA warns that many of these are not what they seem. These pills often contain prescription drugs not listed on the label, including the active ingredient in sildenafil (Viagra). This can cause problems if the medication interacts with something else you take.

ED: Lowering Your Risk :-

These simple things can help lower your odds of ED:

Exercise and maintain a healthy weight.
Stop smoking.
Avoid alcohol and substance abuse.
Keep diabetes under control.

Discussing ED With Your Partner :-

Discussing ED With Your Partner

Though you're the one with ED, your partner is also affected. Talking openly about ED will help your partner understand the diagnosis and treatment options. This can reassure them that you haven't lost interest.
