Question:
psychological impotence?
Answer:
You may be having NEs and don't remember. IMO they are the most important
of my erections.....they are involuntary, tend to last ~30 min, optimally we
have ~5 NEs night. They are generally "non-sexual" in nature. Their
function is to circulate fresh, oxygenated blood through the cock and to
remove tissue wastes.

"Males normally have erections (penile tumescence) during their sleep. The
erections come 4 - 5 times a night about the time when dreaming or REM sleep
occurs. As far as scientists know, the subject matter of the dream does not
predict whether or not there will be an erection. The erections are a normal
part of REM sleep for males of all ages. Doctors may record the
circumference of a man's penis all night long to check for the presence,
size and duration of erections. Such erections are called episodes of
Nocturnal Penile Tumescence (NPT). It is now recognized that erectile
dysfunction (impotence) may be caused by a variety of physiological
conditions – such as damage to the nerves that regulate blood flow into the
penis. NPT recordings may be done to determine, independent of psychological
factors, the extent of a man’s erectile capability. This information can be
used to select from the many treatments now available for erectile
dysfunction, including, but not limited to, sildenafil (Viagra). The
relationship between REM sleep and erections is also the reason that men
frequently wake up in the morning with an erection without having any
particular desire to engage in sexual activity. There is a commonly held,
but incorrect, belief that morning erections are due to a full urinary
bladder. This belief really makes no sense. For example, men do not get
erections during the day before urination. The correct explanation for
morning erections involves the way nighttime sleep is organized. We have
most of our REM sleep in the early morning, usually between 4 - 7 AM.
Therefore, each morning we are very likely to awaken directly from REM sleep
or, at the very least, soon after a long REM period has ended. Thus, men are
very likely to awaken in the morning with a REM sleep-related erection."
Before g going to bed, I take ~5 gms L-Arginine...at first piss call I take
three Valerian Root capsules and I wear my snug fitting cockring to bed.
The latter for self diagnosis of mild-moderate venous leakage. My NEs are
nonbendable....I can remember some of them.
Just my experiences....
