Guys and Erections....

So.... I was wondering if anyone knew on average, how often guys have erections while sleeping? The reason I ask, is cause sometimes my bf makes "sexual" somewhat moaning noises while asleep and sometimes I wonder if hes dreaming of sex (therefore getting an erection) or if hes just off in la la land? Seems like he moans an awful lot during the course of one night. Its kinda funny.... so I was just wondering. Any ideas?

I think it's every REM cycle but not sure. And I'm fairly certain it depends on the individual man, as well. BTW, just because he may be getting erections in his sleep does not always indicate sexual arousal. Most of the time, it's just a normal physical reaction to spiking testosterone fluctuations, etc.

Check out nocturnal erections on any search engine.....it has nothing to do with dreams, or sex, or you.
