Is having an erection a good thing?

Absolutely. Having erections is completely normal and healthy. It's a sign your body is working as it should.

An erection happens when blood flows to the penis and makes it hard. This usually starts happening during puberty. It can happen when you're sexually aroused, and when you're asleep, but it can also happen for absolutely no reason at all. Sometimes they come at the worst times! You might get one in class, on the bus, or just sitting around doing nothing. That's completely normal, especially during puberty when your body is adjusting to new hormones.

Morning erections are really common, too. They happen during sleep, and most people with a penis experience them regularly. Again, it's just your body doing its thing.

Erections don't always mean you're thinking about sex, and just because you have one doesn't mean you have to do anything. They usually go away on their own. If it happens at an awkward moment, try not to stress about it. Just think about something else.
