Talk:Nocturnal penile tumescence

message: Is there any corrilation with morning wood and the urge to urniate?  I thought I remembered something from anatomy and phys years ago in highschool about how an errection somehow inhibits the passage of urine, and therefore sometimes if one has a full bladder the body will get an erection to prevent urination.

message: I submit that the photograph should be removed as not adding relevent content to the entry.  Are there any objections?  Will someone post reasoning why the photograph should be part of the entry?

replies: text: I'm not sure. In general images are good, and Wikipedia does have a content disclaimer that explicitly notes Wikipedia's use of images depicting human anatomy that some might find objectionable or offensive; but even so, I'm not generally a fan of such images except when it seems that they contribute quite a bit to the article's informative content, and it doesn't seem that this image does so for this article (especially since you can't actually tell from the picture that the tumescent penis belongs to a sleeping person). —RuakhTALK 20:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: References to "colloquialisms" were way out of place.  I deleted them as unencyclopedic.  Sure, the euphemisms are fun, but this isn't them place for them I think.

thread_title:  This isn't a "List of euphemisms for NPT" 

message: WP:Reference_desk/Archives/Science/2011 November 20#Morning erections & psychogenic ED questions the uncited assertion in this article that the presence of NPT in ED patients indicates a psychosomatic cause, and provides a reference  which contradicts that. I will try to find some more references on this. -- 110.49.227.5 (talk) 03:32, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

message: As pointed out by User:MangoldOrganizer in the edit: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nocturnal_penile_tumescence&oldid=889919770
There is reasonable evidence that a full bladder can cause an erection and that an erection does inhibit urination, but there is no evidence that this is a reason why NPT may have evolved.
I have edited the page to make this clear and cited a reference but only as an example of the common belief, not evidence that the belief is common, so this citation may be un-necessary / poor. I have also added a citation giving some evidence to the point that an erection does inhibit urination, but a better reference would be good.

thread_title:  No Evidence of Beneficial Effects 

message: I think it would be appropriate to change the sentence 'All men without physiological erectile dysfunction experience nocturnal penile tumescence, usually three to five times during the night, typically during rapid eye movement sleep.[1] Nocturnal penile tumescence is believed to contribute to penile health.[2]' as A. some men don't have penises and I don't think that is included in the phrase 'physiological erectile dysfunction' nor do I think they experience nocturnal penile tumescence (please correct me if I'm wrong) B. some people who identify as men have never had penises, and some people who have penises don't identify as men and C. sleep doesn't need to occur during the night time for nocturnal penile tumescence to occur. I think something like 'three to five times during a period of sleep' would be more accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charleshpeckhamv (talk • contribs) 
:Reverted the "genetically male" piece as not needed. I think it's clear we're talking about men with penises. And the Erection article is also about those men; it's not about clitoral erection. 
:On a side note: Per Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#Layout, newer sections go at the bottom. So I moved your post down. Also, you should sign your posts. See WP:Signature. I added a signature tag to your post.  Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:56, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
