Why do guys keep getting erections around my little sister?

[Anonymous]

So as summer arrives, I visited my sisters school ( she's now a seventh grader) I saw that during her gym class she wore spandex and knee high boots ( that's just what she does) but for some reason while they were running there was a bunch of boys following her and stoping to do what looked like the waistband trick and then kept going. I pulled her aside and told her what happened and she told me that she saw them tucking their waistbands often but she never knew what for. what should I do?

It's her fault

I need to intervene

Does anyone have idea why they would even get an erection?

How should I handle this because she has hada boy experience with boys so stuff like erections scare her

To be fair, it is high school and I've learned that high school boys can't seem to control their erections as well as older men can. We can't always control the physical responses we incite in others, but knee high boots doesn't sound remotely practical for a gym class. If she isn't breaking the dress code and she isn't purposefully trying to get these reactions, then I don't think it's her fault or anyone's fault for that matter. We are human beings, hardwired for procreation, especially in our teen years. I say just leave it alone. It's good that you let her know, but what else can be done? You don't expect her to dress like a nun because someone else finds her attractive.

I can't really imagine a bunch of kids of this age chasing after a girl in gym class with erections. How do you know they aren't adjusting the inside draw string to their shorts? Have you seen erections? or are you assuming?
I would say you can't do anything regarding this situation, your sister shouldn't wear knee high boots in gym class either... That's weird!
As for adolescent boys liking girls... This is normal. You're a guy... You should know this.

First off she wears boots because she isn't required to wear sneakers for gym. Second of all I have seen erections as I have multiple guys who get them because I wear a sports bra and spandex for gym class. Plus when they do it there is normally a small bump peeping out from their t shirt since they wear tighter t shirts.

[Opinion Owner]

Awesome, why are you asking for opinions then?
Tell her to kick their asses with her big boots on! 👌🏻

[JuniorcertHELP]

It's not her fault at all. It might get creepy and worse in the future, maybe give her some light encouragement to just wear jogging pants. If it continues, tell somebody maybe? Sounds like a complicated situation you have there.

[ksoma]

how about neither. It isn't her fault, she is wearing acceptable gym clothes.
And you don't need to intervene. Boys that age get boners, and they notice your sister. Unless you plan to put her in a burqa, you have to accept that your sister, like ever other girl at that school, is being looked at by the boys she goes to school with.

Unless they DO something (other than have erections) there is no reason for you to do, or say, anything.

Why would they get an erection? Because they are pubescent, hormones are effecting them, and they see a girl they think looks good.

I don't think you realize how often that happens to boys in middle school. It happens for no reason sometimes. In puberty, you start getting erections out of nowhere--a lot. I guess seeing some curves would help that along, if she's dressing proactively--or even if she's not dressing provocatively. But you don't need to feel threatened by erections. That's just silly. You should do nothing. I assure you, just because they have random erections doesn't mean they're suddenly dangerous.

[Asker]

No it's because she had a bad experience with guys in the past so stuff like that scares her

[Rawrzz]

Well, that's understandable. She should understand that it's just a biological thing. 99% of males aren't going to want to have a boner in front of a girl. It's embarrassing. That's why they tuck it under the waistband. But, sure, maybe she shouldn't wear tight-fitting spandex if that's something she's worried about. Not blaming her or anything. Just saying cause and effect. To just do what she can to minimize the possibility of her getting scared.

[Mesonfielde]

Why would they get an erection?

Because they think she's hot

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[SkinnyLover69]

Well, here's a dose of reality, most guys are sexually aroused by girls that age. Women's opinions are the center of our world however, so we pretend it's sick or gross or whatever but the truth is, probably nine out of ten men are looking at her thinking something sexual.
That being said, there are two facts pertaining to this topic that i cannot see how anyone can overlook.
1. Just because they are young or what society society deems to be too young for sexual intercourse does not immediately make them unattractive. Youth is and always has been beautiful. Even adolescent girls can still be very beautiful and only a century or two ago girls of that age were married and reproducing. Society deems certain ages inappropriate to sleep with but make no mistake, these "children" are perfectly capable of having sex.
2. Nobody gets a selection sheet when it comes to what physically attracts them. I firmly believe that sexuality is ENTIRELY predetermined at birth and if you disagree, prove me wrong. Gays cannot be cured any more than men can help being aroused by young girls.

That being said, the line that differentiates most men from the"evil" pedophiles is that most men are not exclusively attracted to girls of this age and MOST men are aware and respectful of the fact that young girls being with young boys. Sex for kids that she should be innocent and clumsy. A girl of ten or twelve doesn't belong in bed with a vastly older man who is acting out his sexual fantasies on an inexperienced young girl. The age disparity immediately makes the relationship imbalanced and puts the younger girl under great pressure. We as adults are comically of that fact and act accordingly.

You are simply eating your time and embarrassing young boys who cannot control their bodies yet. Not to mention your sister who sounds like a little looker. The attention she is attracting sounds innocent, however if you go popping off on these young boys she'll almost certainly be humiliated and lose that attention. Boys will be scared to ask her out, she'll be humiliated, etc.

Men are physical, sexual creatures; pre-programmed to spread the seed. You should mind your business and devote your attendings to educating your younger sister on the responsibility and risks that come with sexual intercourse, or maybe just give her some tips on how to keep herself safe and protested with the opposite sex. Don't waste time getting to fight nature bud, you'll lose.

[hipooplol13]

can't really say without knowing what she looks like you know? So i'll just offer a few scenarios.
one is she hot? if so then there's your answer.
Two: there could be a rumour or story going round that she puts out and that could lead people to think about her sexually.
three: there could be a story going round that she would never put out and the same as above but as an added challenge.
four: it was because of someone else

[Asker]

She is considered quite grown up for her age... But she doesn't do all those sexual things

[hipooplol13]

Sorry can't offer anything else without knowing what she looks like but I assume by grown up you mean physically?

[Asker]

Yep. She worked in modeling when she was younger so she is considered quite beautiful

[hipooplol13]

then do you really need to ask why guys react to your beautiful sister?

[Asker]

No but they were running behind her so that's why

[madhatters4]

you need to intervene? what are you going to say " you boys stop getting erect around my sister"?

you don't do anything. if a girl gets aroused when she sees a boy should someone do something? there's nothing to do.

[Asker]

No like have her change her outfit

[madhatters4]

haha oh that makes more sense. it may help but boys are boys and may be attracted to her regardless

[Calgarydirty69]

help her change!

[mojo_jojo]

7th grade many of us guys do get random boners even with the thought of sex. I had to stay sitting down even when the bell rang a few times.

Never seen/heard of a guy with a boner while running or in public. She must be super developed for her age.
I would advise her to change her cloths.

[Asker]

Thanks. I was thinking of making her wear shorts instead

[SweetHomicidalQueen]

They're 7th grade boys. All they have to do is hear the word "boner" and they'll get one

[TonyRyanAgain]

This.

[Anonymous]

It’s normal for boys that age to become aroused by your sister. Especially if she’s wearing what she does for gym class. It would be kinda concerning if they weren’t. FYI it sounds like your sister is going to be very popular with the opposite sex. You might even notice her getting looks from older men 10-20 years older than her. Snap me if you have anymore questions Snap - b_black420

[Cmasterson]

I don't really think you'd be able to do much after all they get boners al the time at that age.

[NYkid27]

They're boys who are just hitting puberty. Basically anything can give them an erection so it's no big deal and you don't have to do anything about

[K3wlD3wd]

Hilarious that you're disapproving your younger sister for doing something she apparently learned from watching her older sister.

Smoke some legal recreational herb and get over your jealousy of your sister attracting guys, and grow up.

[Decentguy]

what you mean by tucking their waistbands? i dont get it

[Asker]

It's when you take an erection and tuck it into the waistband of the pants that are being worn.

[Decentguy]

well then tell your sister to wear some more clothes and dont wear any revealing clothes

[SweetHomicidalQueen]

"Tell your sister what to wear because teenage boys can't control themselves."

[Asker]

@SweetHomicidalQueen I'm saying I would talk to her about wearing longer shorts instead of spandex

[realname]

this guys are gonna get boners even is she changes her clothes she just has to accept that.

[realname]

i would recommend to stay close to her friends, the bigger the bunch the safer and more reclutant boys would be to get close to them

[Calgarydirty69]

sex is the solution, don't get caught not acceptable according to society dogs do it, be a dog

[Melcart23]

Nothing to see here. Next!

[vermiss]

mind your own business.

[Anonymous]

I don't know depends on how attractive she is
