Erections during sleep are involuntary and therefore we cannot control them. These erections occur automatically, 3-5 times during a good nights sleep. They occur not because of sex dreams or touching the penis during the sleep, but because of certain changes in the autonomous nervous system. Night erections are an indication that all is well with your sexual system.
