Talk:Nocturnal penile tumescence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Urination?
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.

The prostate gland also achieves tumescence during an erection. The urge and capability to urinate is lowered because the urethra is squeezed by the swollen prostate. It is still possible to urinate with an erection but lean forward a lot and try not to hit yourself in the face... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.185.218 (talk) 08:31, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Does the photograph add relevant content?
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?

- 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)
[edit] Anybody got a source?
Anybody got a source that connects NPT with the cooler temperatures one experiences at night? Gotta be Anon (talk) 10:44, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
