Unusual erection condition - automatic erection without sexual thoughts/actions

My bf has an unusual condition - automatic penis erection. Regardless of non-sexual actions such as reading or mowing, he keeps getting erections frequently, almost every hour. It'd last anywhere from few minutes to 20 minutes before it becomes flaccid. I wonder if he has the condition similar to some women who gets non-voluntary orgasms via clitoris stimulation triggered at the slight like a simple movement or shoulder tapping to get attention - nothing sexual or direct contact to the clitoris? He said it's been like that all his life.  By the way, he's turning 50 soon and his penis stiffness hasn't changed one bit since his youth and no problems with it as well (ie, sexual intercourse, urinary, etc.)

Does this condition have a name and would it create any problems down the road for him (and us).  

Thank you

Yea it could be viagra but still in order to get an erection with viagra or no viagra, something sexual has to go thru his mind. Perhaps he thinks about sex or something sexual constantly. And there is nothing wrong with that. However, if he is not taking viagra, he shouldn't experience an erection once every hour but if he is taking viagra then yea he can.

Either way, it doesn't matter. This is not a medical condition. He has a good and healthy penis for his age.
