A member asked:

If i started lifting weights, would this increase more blood in the penis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kind of, but: Your body send blood to where it's needed most. Exercise will increase blood flow throughout the body, but primarily to muscles doing the exercise. When you eat, the increased blood flow goes to the stomach and intestines. Want to guess what activity causes it to be diverted to the penis and away from the brain?
