A member asked:
Do men get errections whilst under general anesthetic? like sometimes when they are asleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally no: Generally no. Under anesthesia muscles tend to be relaxed and once an incision is made even under anesthesia there is a release of "fight or flight" hormones. This also prevents erections.
