Brian JohnsonThe American businessman known for challenging himself over the years is back in the news. something to do with his penis. It was already August last year when he admitted on his X (formerly Twitter) account that he was undergoing penile rejuvenation therapy. Now, several months later, he says that everything went well and that he nocturnal erections They are better than what I experienced At 18 years old. He measured it using the app and was very pleased with the results.
In fact, this is his goal in every sense. Although it already exists 46 years old compliments, he plans to invest a significant part of his fortune in expensive treatment which allow you to have health and performance slightly greater than that of a teenager. “I’m 18 again.”
In the case of nocturnal erections, he indicates that they good indicator of health. But not only reproductive health, but also “cardiovascular, physiological and sexual” health. How true is this?
What causes nocturnal erections?
Before talking about the health consequences, it is important to clearly understand what nocturnal erections are, since they do not occur for the same reason as others. All you have to do is see what it really is, They are not associated with any sexual experience or fantasy.
An erection, whether sexual in origin or not, occurs when a signal from the nervous system triggers the sending increased blood supply to the penis, in addition to closing the ducts that ensure their exit from it. Very rough, causes blood to flow to the penis and stay there for a long time. This blood collects in cavities known as corpora cavernosahelping the penis stay hard and have more volume.
This message from the nervous system usually comes from sexual arousal. But it can also arise unconsciously, as a reflex act.
Moreover, during REM sleep phase So-called nocturnal erections occur. This is a phase deep dreamin which, although the brain is very active, the areas associated with the famous reaction fight or flight, which forces us to face danger. This means that the body relaxes and even the motor neurons become inactive, so that we cannot move. In principle, this does not matter since we are sleeping, but if a person wakes up, so-called sleep paralysis occurs.
All of this that happens during REM sleep is due to the inactivation of an area of the nervous system known as Sympathetic nervous system, while the other, parasympathetic, is stimulated. Signs of this parasympathetic nervous system They can also cause unconscious erections. This is why nighttime erections occur.
Are they really an indicator of health?
The sleep cycle consists of a phase of REM sleep and several phases of slow-wave sleep. However, within one night there are several full cycles. About four or five. This indicates that there will be five stages of REM sleep and up to five nocturnal erections (these do not always occur). They can have varying durations, although in the best cases they reach 20-30 minutes. This means that it may take more than an hour of sleep to get an erection.
As for morning erections, it’s the same. What happens is that in many cases the awakening happens right at that very moment. come out of REM sleep. Of course, it is believed that there may be other reasons, for example, a higher level testosterone in the morning. This hormone plays a very important role in sending erection signals, so it would make sense. It’s also possible that bladder full of urine Stimulate the nerves that cause the penis to become erect.
In any case, for this to happen, however unconscious it may be, there really must be adequate blood flow. A cardiovascular system in poor condition it may not bring blood to the penis to make it swell.
There are also metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, whose symptoms include certain erection problems. Thus, it is true that good health can be reflected in good nighttime erections. Does this mean that people with penises should be obsessed with maintaining the erection times they had at 18? Logically no. This is just one of many indicators that tell us the state of our health. Forcing these indicators is not a solution to the problem. And much less through therapy shock waves hired by Johnson. A therapy that experts say is not worth going through the possible side effects to achieve a goal like this millionaire’s.
