All About Cocks and Why They Get Hard

Let’s be honest here… A cock is a fine thing indeed! This piece of man meat is highly responsive and operates quite like no other part of the male anatomy. When aroused and stimulated, it swells and grows in size and becomes hard enough for penetrating holes.

But do you have any idea how and why your cock gets hard?

How Your Body Reacts

Let’s say you’re watching your favourite porn movie and your cock starts stirring. Your body begins to react to chemical impulses that your brain is sending send to your cock. This causes the arteries in the twin chambers of the spongy erectile tissues (or the Corpora Cavernosa, to give them their correct fancy Latin name) inside your shaft to dilate. As there’s now more room available, blood rushes in to fill up the space, making your cock engorge and become an awesome erection.

The whole process of getting a hard-on is surprisingly complicated. It involves your heart, lungs, hormones, nerves, and blood vessels working together so that your flaccid cock can resemble a tent pole!

It’s also worth bearing in mind, that if your body didn’t have the essential relaxant enzymes, you’d be able to maintain an erection for an indefinite period of time! Unfortunately, you’ll have to use a cock ring instead to keep your pecker up for longer.

Why Your Cock Responds

Your cock is highly responsive to sexual stimulus. This can be anything that you perceive to be visually erotic, or physical touch. As a young gay man you probably get sexually excited every time you see a hot guy with a perfect ass, no matter where you happen to be.

As you get older, you may find that your cock requires more direct physical stimulation in order to get it adequately aroused. If rubbing doesn’t do the trick, and you need more help to get hard, you can always use medications like Viagra.

Other Stimulations

There aren’t many guys who haven’t experienced a boner first thing in the morning. This is a natural response that is triggered by testosterone levels being higher, and peaking, at the start of the day.

Some guys also get nocturnal erections that happen during REM sleep.

It’s also possible to get hard from touch that is non-sexual. Wearing tight fitting clothing that rubs your junk can sometimes result in the embarrassing situation of having an impressive erection at inconvenient time and place.
