Great question. Teenage boys can have an erection every few minutes to a few hours. So much depends on what is happening inside his body hormonally as he develops AND what other types of stimulating he is receiving through visuals, sounds, etc. When men are asleep, without any stimulation except dreams or fantasies, and even then these may not cause his erections, males can have an erection at least every 90 minutes.
Most of these erections are just that....erections. There is no ejaculation or orgasm, and they go back down again.
Thanks again for writing and feel free to ask other questions.Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
