What is an erection?
The ability to get and sustain erections means that a man has:
1. A healthy nervous system that produces nerve impulses in the brain and penis.
2. Healthy arteries, allowing necessary blood flow into the penis.
3. Healthy smooth muscles and fibrous tissues within penile area.
4. The release of the substance called nitric oxide in the penis.
It anything from these things does not work properly, a man cannot get an erection.
An erection involves extra blood pumped into the penis – this is necessary to get the penis hard. When the extra blood stays in the penis, a man can maintain the erection necessary for sexual intercourse. An erection happens if a man is sexually aroused by stimulation physical or mental.
When a man is sexually ready, special signals go down the nerves that lead from his spinal cord to his genitals. They make the blood vessels which supply the penis open up. Blood flows in and the penis gets hard. A special controlling structure near the base of the penis allows the blood to flow in the penis and keep it there and a male is ready to have sex.
Various factors can negate the complicated process of getting an erection such as: worry, fatigue, too much alcohol or narrowing of the blood vessels, other serious diseases.
