Why does a Teddy get an erection while sleeping?
A Teddy having an erection while sleeping is a normal physiological phenomenon, because during sleep the male Teddy's body secretes various hormones, including testosterone, which causes the penis to become erect. Second, the sleeping posture also affects erection - if the Teddy sleeps lying down or sitting, this position may direct blood flow to the lower body, creating congestion in the penis and causing an erection. In short, a Teddy's erection during sleep is not a pathological sign, and the owner does not need to worry too much.
