But sometimes the reflex function of internal organs can also cause penis erection. The most obvious is that before waking up in the morning, there will often be penile erection, some of which are caused by internal emergency in the morning.
It is normal for men to have morning erections after puberty to middle age. Young people have sex two or three days later, and middle-aged people have morning erections one week after sex.
