writes:Got your attention didn't it?This is sort of strange question. My husband has a pretty low sex drive, he does not suffer from sexual dysfunction, his drive is just naturally low. When he gets sick though he gets erect a lot, I mean a lot and so we end up having sex considerably more, its like every time he gets sick and my husband's very over active mind gets muddled his penis takes over. No matter how sick he can literally have 104 temperature and it still happens and it won't go away unless we do the deed (cause I imagine he tries masturbating b/c it requires less of him physically first), he was once been aroused for 2 strait days (erect nearly the whole time), we had sex so much I literally passed out. I feel bad for him b/c he needs rest I want him to get rest and recover but invariably this happens, even he has no idea why. He's sick now, he went to bed early last night hoping for some sleep and no luck, its quite tenacious. Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone know if this is a medical thing? Could it be psychological? Is it just that he is usually so incredibly mentally active and then when he's sick and not thinking about a zillion things that this happens? I would've thought when guys were really feeling sick, it'd be the opposite getting up would be an issue not keeping it down.

 I think you should rule out priapism, the effects of which, by the way, are not pleasant at all.

 Four hours is the point at which the man has to start to get emergency treatment, so that there is time to alleviate the condition. According to this article, it must be corrected in 12 hours to be safe.http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Priaprism

 Increased body temperature causes dilation of the blood vessels - i.e. they get larger, and therefore blood flows more easily. That might account for more frequent than normal erections that are sparked off by the mind being less distracted than usual by the enforced inaction.
But an erection lasting longer than 4 hours is potentially dangerous, usually indicating a blockage and/or extremely high blood pressure. If the erection remains for that length of time then it normally means something not so pleasant is happening, like the blood has flowed in to cause the erection and isn't flowing out again properly, and there is the risk of permanent damage or even gangrene.
I don't think it's a particular problem if it's a series of erections, but if it's one lasting erection that just doesn't go, then he needs to get a doctor's advice urgently.

And he really does have a hyperactive mind, its very stressful now with exams so I figured no sex for awhile but then he got sick, not I am happy he's sick! But I won't say I am not happy about the sex though :-P. I promise I am not secretly feeding him aphrodisiacs or trying to get him sick lol It just thought this was peculiar and so does he.

Are you sure that you're not putting some bacteria in his food? ;) Seriously, I don't think that has ever happened to me. I haven't been very sick for several years, but if I remember correctly, I usually would slow down sexually when I got sick. My wife thinks that is the case also. However, my sex drive has most always been high, so it might have something to do with that.
I think that your guess is probably correct. If he has a stressful job, then the stress would lower his sex drive normally. When he is sick, the stress goes away and he actually ends up with more sexual energy, at least mentally. Perhaps his body is trying to make up for lost time when his mind isn't cluttered. Besides, most women think that we men have 2 brains anyway. Maybe the lower one is taking over. :))
