When you're 12-14 or so, you can get them very randomly and as often as a couple a day (luckily, you're not ALWAYS writing on the board in front of the whole class, and so most of the time, no one will notice)
That kind of thing only VERY rarely happens as an adult. You'll still get boners, but there will be a REASON (and you'll know the reason). It could be just a random thought that flashes through your mind, or it could be a girl who walks by or bends over, or whatever, but you can pretty much always track down the source.
In Jr. High/Middle School, there didn't need to be a reason - they could just happen.
But part of that is that men learn to keep their emotions - and the physical responses they create - in check. It's something we do subconsciously - we almost never THINK about doing it - we just do it - and that prevents random boners during inopportune times in public. And, yes, this DOES add a tiny bit of mental stress for us, but we quickly get used to it and mostly don't notice it.
When we are alone, or at home, or otherwise in a place where no one is around and a boner wouldn't matter, we often relax our control - again, subconsciously. Often we're either relaxing or focused on some other task, but we might have our brain wander to some sexual thought and pop some wood. It can be really embarrassing, though, if - because you were so focused on whatever you were doing, that you didn't notice that other people were in the room, and now your boner has an unexpected audience. THAT does still happen to adult men sometimes - BUT the man will still know the reason for the boner, which is what makes it different than those "early puberty" random boners.0 0 0 0When I was 13 a boned me during class.
well it depends on the individual really. I am 19, but I have been getting hard all throughout the day since I was 5 years old.
