Erections are driven by blood flow and nitric oxide release in the penis, causing expansion of spongy tissues. Different types of erections include reflexive, psychogenic, and nocturnal erections. Various factors like vascular issues, medications, neurologic causes, and hormonal imbalances can contribute to erectile dysfunction. Psychological factors, such as performance anxiety and relationship concerns, can also play a significant role.
