The Short Answer
Essentially your body has a use it or loose it principle. In terms of its reproductive capability, regardless of your daytime sex life, it goes through what I think of as a "systems check." The brain initiates the physiology – normal blood flow in by artery and constricting of the outflowing veins which creates penile vasocongestion, or an erection. You'll notice that the morning erection does not necessarily go with being turned on. It is just the mechanics of making an erection, not the hormones. Interestingly, there is a test for erectile dysfunction that involves placing (easy to rip) tape around the base of your flaccid penis before bed. If the tape is broken in the morning, it indicates that erectile dysfunction is not physiologic, that is, the body is physically capable; it is something else.
