Why do guys get boners while cuddling?

I cuddled with this guy I'm interested in last night. We didn't do anything beyond kissing and I'm very happy he didn't try to pressure me into doing anything. Anyway, all we did was hug and he held my hands the entire night and just kept on commenting on how soft my skin was. I'm anemic so I was super cold last night so he kept on checking my body temperature (touching my stomach, back, head) to see if I was okay. After he left this morning, he stated that he had a confession and said he could never do this again because he needed to "release" and it was hard for him to be in bed with me.

  • Guys can get erections while doing nothing. One minor thought can pop into our head and blood is suddenly being redirected elsewhere.

    You kissed, cuddle and held hands? That's a lot of up time.

  • He'll only do that if he finds you physically attractive.

  • Cuddles are supposed to express intimacy and closeness. I imagine him feeling your skin against his made him hard.

  • Because cuddles are intimate. :v

  • Its normal to happen. We can't help it. I love cuddling.

  • Don't tell me you don't get wet from your pussy when your gonna hug Usher or someone?

  • You could just offer to help him "release" the next time.

  • Look gurl, that's a straight up physiological response it can't be controled. Thankfully he's the kind of gentleman that puts the lady first. Appreciate his earnestness and don't be mad at him for doing something that's just out of his control.
