A member asked:

Is there any way for erection of penis other than sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear question: Erection of penis can occur with any stimulation, including thinking of sex or manual stimulation. Actual sex is not needed for erection. In a young person, penile erections occur without any stimulation.
