Why erection rhymes the way it does
The phonology of erection is a three-syllable core: the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 48 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 73, assonance 11,886, and consonance 42. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Erection works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
