[QUOTE="madman, post: 221765, member: 13851"] Not a given that everyone will experience morning wood 7 days a week. What is more important is that you are having nocturnal erections throughout the night. Almost a given that I will have morning wood when awaking during REM. Neurotransmitters, vascular health, and healthy hormones all play a big role in EF. Getting quality sleep is also critical. The at-home stamp test is outdated and unreliable. You would need to have nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) testing done using a nocturnal monitoring device (NMD). Testing can be done in a sleep lab or at home. Even then NMD has advantages/disadvantages.
