An erection is the physiological process in which the penis becomes firm, enlarged, and elevated. This occurs when the spongy tissues inside the penis fill with blood, usually as a result of sexual arousal, but also sometimes spontaneously. The increased blood flow causes the penis to become rigid, which facilitates sexual activity.
