What if I don't get morning erection very often?
It's absence doesn't indicate any abnormality or disease, as you may wake up during another stge of sleep other than REM.
Physicians use Nocturnal penile tumescence to asses cases of Penile Dysfunction and to decide wether it's psycological or physiological. If a patient can't have an erection in response to sexual stimuli and doesn't have morning erection, then the cause of dysfunction is physiological.
If he still can have morning erection then the cause of dysfunction is just psychological.
So,yes a morning erection is a normal physiological sign of health and you don't have to worry about that. :)
