If I'm waking up alone I pretty much take advantage of my morning wood so that doesn't happen. If I'm not waking up alone I'll still try to take advantage of the morning wood, with varying degrees of success. If I have a date I'll often forgo the morning wood and wait until my evening shower...
I hate walking around with a loaded gun, or starting a date half ready to go off. Though as a person gets older it becomes less of a problem.
