    When a man's penis becomes hard, it is usually easy for the man to feel some swelling in the penis, and at the same time, he will have thoughts and impulses to have sex. The male penis will become hard or thick because blood fills the genitals, or the penis will become hard when it is stimulated.

    What does it feel like when a man gets hard?

    There is usually no uncomfortable feeling when a boy's penis becomes erect. Most male friends will only feel the sensation of swelling and want to have sex. There are many reasons for boys to become erect. Of course, some reasons may be harmful to the male body, but most of the reasons are physiological phenomena. Male friends do not need to worry too much.

    From a scientific point of view, a boy's erection means an erection. When a man's penis is sexually stimulated, the penis will begin to relax in a short period of time and become rapidly filled with blood. When the blood fills the corpus cavernosum, the corpus cavernosum will be filled with blood, making the penis longer, thicker and harder. So do boys feel uncomfortable when they get hard? Why do boys get hard?

    Generally speaking, after a boy gets hard, he usually feels a swell. Men who have had sex will have the urge to have sex. Male friends who have no partner may be concerned about pornography and want to masturbate. Men don't feel very uncomfortable during the erection process. Of course, some people wear tight pants to make the penis erect. When the penis is squeezed, it will feel pain. Under normal circumstances, it will not be uncomfortable unless you suffer from some diseases. So what is the reason why boys’ penises become hard?

    A male friend with normal androgen secretion usually wakes up every morning with a strong head. This is because after a night of sleep, the man's androgen reaches its peak value in the morning, and the urine in the bladder stimulates the nerves, which results in a morning erection. And when you stayed up late the night before, due to less androgen secretion, you won't have an erection in the morning.

    Continuous stimulation of the penis will also cause the penis to become erect. This is a reflex erection. Some men often fantasize about things that will stimulate the penis to become erect. In fact, if a male penis can erect immediately, it is a good thing. This means that your sexual function is very good. As you age, you will find that it is very difficult to make the penis hard immediately, and you need more sexual stimulation.
