it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get

Hello there, Modern Man. Do you know that you have four
different type of erection? Not just one, four, and Mother
Nature programmed you to have it that way. All right? I'm Dr Anne
Truong. I've treated over 7000 men with ED over 20 year span.
Let me say it again. You heard it right. You have four
different type of erection that you can have. And they're all
erection, but they are kind of created a little differently.
But your body is programmed to have erection. Kind of like the
same way that why you need to have sex, because that's the way
your body is programmed. Let me start with the first erection,
that is the morning erection, and you've had that probably
since you're an adolescent, right when you start making
testosterone and puberty. And morning erection usually happen
at night time actually, and you can have between three to six
erection at night, with the most prominent one in the morning
when you wake up. However, it only happens when you're in a
dream like state called Rapid Eye Movement, and that is
spontaneous. So it happens when you're asleep, because that's
when you're in deep sleep, you're dreaming, and you're in a
parasympathetic state. And when you're in a parasympathetic
state, the nerve is stimulated, you're releasing nitric oxide,
you're increasing blood flow, therefore erection. So that
erection number one, is morning erection, or even nighttime
erection. You get about three to six of that and a night. How
good is that? Right?
Number two is called spontaneous reflex erection. Now this
erection involves touching. Any type of touching of any of the
erogenous zone, or touching on the penis itself. You know that
you have more than 30 erogenous zones in your body, and with 12
of it just in around the penile area. So touching, so it's a
reflex. So if you touch and then it sends, then your sense
sensation, to the nerve in the spinal cord. It goes in the loop
like this. Sometimes it can even occur with just a slightest
touch, or even just wind blowing near your penis. That's called
reflex. So it goes to the spinal cord, the nerve at s2 and s4 and
that causes that reflex erection. Sometimes, kind of
happen in an embarrassing moment, right? Or sometimes it
kind of happened you brushing against somebody, and whoop,
there goes your erection. Sometimes you can't even control
it. So the younger you are, you may notice that you can't
control it as much.
Men, struggling to stay hard? Most of the time it comes down
to poor blood flow. That's why I put together the Good Morning
Wood smoothie, a nutrient packed blend designed to restore blood
flow naturally. My patient often notice improvement in just a few
weeks when they take this part of their daily routine. Click

flow and firmness today, or go to goodmorningwoodsmoothie.com.
Number three is psychogenic erection. Where you get an
erection by just thinking about it. You get an erection when
you, let's say, close your eyes and you think about it, or even
when you're reading erotic books. It comes from your brain.
Then your brain releases hormones and release neuro
chemical, which then sends messages to the nerve the base
of your neck, which send messages to the parasympathetic
nerve, which then open up blood vessels, releases nitric oxide,
which then increases blood flow, and therefore you get an
erection. Now, that is something that sometimes you do without
even thinking about it. That's when you're kind of dreaming, or
when you close your eyes. Sometimes that will happen. And
just know that there is a large psychogenic component to getting
that erection.
So then the fourth one is the most common one where you get an
erection during sexual arousal, which is a combination of both
psychogenic and also the reflex erection. That means that if the
combination of both pathway of the brain. Would then send
messages down to the penis and then also the reflex pathway,
where it involves touching. Now imagine two pathway merging to
give you a full on erection, and that's what you get during
sexual arousal. So sexual arousal involves touching and
using the five senses and the taste, the smell, the visual
stimuli, the audio stimuli, and touch to combine with the
psychological component of being aroused, being in the mood,
being present with yourself and with your partner, being
intentional and not overthinking it. So that's why, sometime
during sexual activity, if you're worried about performance
and you had anxiety or depression of being distracted,
you may not get an erection because you're distracting the
pathway that is generating that erection.
Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection,
low energy, the food you eat could be the big part of the
problem. One of the best research pathways to boost
circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual
performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that
open up your blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your
hormone, naturally. I've seen men notice real improvement in
both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to this
style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link
right here below, and get that as soon as you can. Stronger
testosterone and better erection.
So overall, there are four different type of erection that
you can have. How interesting is that? So let's summarize. The
first is morning erection, or nighttime erection, which
happens when you're asleep. It's the mother nature's way of
exercising your penis for you and that you should be able to
have it, which is a good sign that you're having it, and you
should continue to have it. And one way to optimize it is to
have good night sleep, and if you relax before you go to bed.
The second type of erection is called the reflex, which is
through touching, or through pressure or touching their
erogenous zone which then sends messages to the nerve and the
spinal cord which send the message to create an erection.
That's the reflex. Number three is psychogenic, or mental which
you can send messages from the brain which then send signal
down to the penis for an erection. And the fourth is the
most common one during sexual arousal is the combination of
both psychogenic and reflex, or touching, which is the most
powerful of all. So knowing that, guys, you just need to
remember to be present, be aroused, be aware. Don't
overthink it. When you overthink it, you're gonna talk yourself
your erection. Oftentimes, just go with the flow. Go what's
going on. Enjoy the moment. Oftentimes, you're enjoying the
moment. You're not thinking about what the what if or what's
gonna happen. So four different type of erection, optimize it
relax and overall, guys, it's all about the four pillars of
maintaining your sexual health. It is following the
Mediterranean diet, exercise 30 minutes, three to five times a
week if you can, get a good night's sleep, and decrease your
stress. How do you decrease your stress through exercise, through
stopping the screen before you go to bed, through socializing
with your family and being present for your partner. Those
are simple things that will go a long way. Research has shown
that diet and exercise alone work even better than Viagra.
Because if you're taking that medicine, Viagra in your body,
you're going to screw up the whole entire natural processes,
how your body produce an erection. Remember in the last
episode I talked about mother nature's way of wanting for you
to have an erection and taking care of you and optimizing you
to have an erection. Don't ruin it. Okay, continue that process,
nurture your body, take care of your body. It will take care of
you. Take care of your body, take care of your heart, and
that will take care of your sex life as well. I'm telling you,
I've seen this work in thousands of men that I work with.
Simplicity works. Simplicity matters. Don't over complicate
things. There is no shiny object. You have to do the work.
If you want your sex life back, you have to do the work. There's
no easy button as a pill that's going to fix that, because
that's a short term thing, because in the long term it is
not going to work.
