A progress report: one month into taking Horny Goat Weed on a daily basis and I am re-experiencing morning wood. I guess for some inexplicable reasons the weed does help with blood circulation?
"Morning wood" as in you're waking up in the morning with an erection? If that's the case then I'm sorry to be the bearer of news, but it's not drug/vitamin/herbal remedy related at all. It's one of two documented things:
A.) During REM sleep you have increased blood activity to the brain and this in turn also increases blood activity to your penis. When you wake up from REM sleep you have an erection from that. This is normal in all healthy males.
B.) You have a full bladder (likely from not having urinated before sleep) and this pushes against the nerves in the region which causes erection. When you're awake you either go urinate or other active muscles and nerves in the region counteract you getting an erection. But when you're asleep your muscles and nerves are relaxed.
