A Conversation for Why Do Men Wake Up With Erections? - Nocturnal Penile Tumescence

Genetic?

I wondered if maybe men wake up erect as a result of natural selection. Seems to me that if a man is "ready to go" every morning he would historically be more likely to have lots of kids than a man who didn't have that trait. The "morning glory" gene would therefore become more common in the gene pool.
