Even
though a penis is controlled by the nervous system, it also has a mind
of its own. Erections can occur at random due to some impulses firing
from the brain during sleep and that is why most mornings, men
experience ‘morning glows.’ The penis is turgid without a prior sexual
arousal trigger. In fact, the penis does not need the man’s brain before
it climaxes. It is basically the function of the penis than the brain
of the man. Orgasm actually starts with the spine; the signal to
ejaculate is the result of muscle contractions in the spinal cord and
pelvis, not the brain. But amazingly, simple things like having a rough
day at work can lead to a man not gaining an erection for a week.
