Are you embarrassed about getting an erection in public?

[cardioman6519]

Now, guys, I remember growing up and luckily, I never got an erection in front of the guys! I remember the first time we all got naked to take showers together in gym class, and knowing the unpredictability of the male penis, I was worried I would get one(not gay), but has any guy gotten an erection or got caught with one from a guy and how did you get over this? I would have been so embarrassed! And women, what do you do or say when you see a guy with an erection? I would always be concerned it would travel around the school! I think times have changed since I was in school and when I read about other guy experiences, they seem to take it all in stride. I think I would have to have changed schools if this happened to me! Am I making a big deal about this? Don't worry, I am much older now, so I don't have to worry about public erections, just want to know if we are acting differently now as back 20 years ago when I was a kid.

CHICO TARGET - This just happen I was at Target in Chico had to grab some laundry soap and tooth paste, I did not wear any underwear and had on sweat pants. I walk down this isle and see these 2 super hot girls I felt my cock starting to get hard and was preying it would stop but decided I would get to next isle pretty quick before they notice as I'm trying to get away one of the girls bends over to get something and that was it my cock got rock hard and was throbbing, now I'm freaked out I have to find a place we're no one can see, every isle I turn to someone seems to be there and I'm so hard and I'm wearing light grey sweat pants no way to hide my erection. I get to check out line I'm now thankfully just half hard and I'm thinking thank god I'm almost outta here then as I'm walking out the main door that vision of this beautiful girl runs through my mind and bammm I'm hard as a rock again and as I walk it's just jiggling back and forth and I look down and now a wet spot from precum is showing bright as day and these 4 girls bust out laughing and they say to me nice boner dude I was so embarrassed needles to say last time I go to the store with no underwear on. I'm not even sure what to think not sure if people who saw were mad or just thought it was funny. What would you think or say if you saw a dude with a boner? And is it illegal? I mean it wasn't out of my pants but I'm hung very will 9.5 inches so when I get hard people for sure can notice through sweats.

random erections happens all the time, hence the name "random"

what I found is useful is to do a quick move of putting your hand down your pants and pulling the erection upwards so it is pointing upwards and flush against your body whilst at the same time slighty pushing your boxers or pants down so they are lower than your bell-end. That way they hold the erection against your body so it shows less or hopefully not at all.

It sounds a lot but with a bit of practice it can be done in under a second, so a quick turn away from people do the move and turn back pretending you were looking at something ebhind you.

plus don't worry about it too much as it is not the end of the world!

Well I was at a school dance grinding with a boy and he got a boner, and of course I felt it. It was in public, in a spacious room with hundreds of other students, but it was so crowded and no one is looking there so I don't think he was embarrassed.

I think in that situation it wasn't as awkward as the one you described above, but I know another boy that got a morning erection while on an overnight field trip in which he shared a room with 3 other boys. It's pretty clear that it wasn't the other boys that aroused him, but I imagine it was embarrassing for him to have an erection in front of him. I heard them teasing him, but it's not like he got some sort of reputation for that. I think it's silly for one guy to make fun of another for getting an erection even at an inappropriate time, because it happens to everyone.

[TheAristocrat0]

Chances are the other three guys had erections too. Nearly every guys gets those very frequently.

[Bananachick]

I was a virgin until the age of 24, so if that happened to a guy in front of me in high school it would've frightened me.

But now? It is a major turn on. Think about it this way: You see a girl in public who isn't wearing a bra and her nipples are hard and visible through her white tank top. As a guy, what do YOU think?

It might be very embarrassing for her, but for guys, not only is it hot but they might have trouble not staring at her chest.

That's how it is for me when a guy gets wood in public. LOL I know it's mean to stare, but it's just soooo hot...

[cardioman6519]

Have you seen a guy with an erection in public?

[Bananachick]

Heehee, my boyfriend. He gets mad at me, but I still think it's so sexy. I think I mught've seen a few guys with "chubbys" rather then a full out erection; especially at the beach. If he's not old and ugly, I tend to stare. If he's a nasty old guys it grosses me out tho.

[cardioman6519]

I guess you haven't seen me! lol Good to hear! Some guys including myself when I was younger, can't help it!

[bersaba]

Oh man. First year in university there was this girl with a white top on, no bra, brown nipples and they were erect. Every guy near her was starring and she was seemingly oblivious. I felt sorry for her so I walked over and told her "you're on high beam". When I told my then girlfriend about it she thought what I did was strange and creepy. I guess the lesson is if you see something, admire it but don't comment.

[Bananachick]

You're a dude!!! If you were a girl, it would be ok to say something, but it's just embarrassing if a GUY says something like that!

[johnthomasmmv]

Thank you for your insight. I hated those middle school erections. I would always hide them behind books and bags. They went away in my 20s went I started drinking and smoking. Now, in my 30s, I've started a healthier lifestyle. Needless to say, the erections are back in full force. Without books or bags to hide them, they are much more obvious. I'd like to know... what happens in a girls mind when she sees a guy with a full erection. Does it matter if she likes the guy or not? If she knows him or if he's a stranger? If he's attractive or ugly? On dates, I always pop up. Nobody's ever said anything, but I've seen girls turn red in the face. I'm guessing that it's a "survival of the species" paradigm. One time I was dancing with an older woman and I became fully erect. Her husband was right there watching us. Nobody said anything and we're all on good terms. What do you think was going on in her mind, knowing that her husband was right there? Thoughts?

[CrazynKinky]

I have to laugh at the guys that think they've never been caught cause I can almost guaranteed they have. We get it guys get boners, we may giggle to ourselves about them when there really obvious but we usually forget five seconds later when the next guy does it

[thepianist]

no I haven't gotten caught (fortunately) lol. If I got caught, I'd probably walk away and just shrug it off. it's a lot worse if you make a big deal out of it. Yeah I guess things are different? I mean it really depends on your reaction and who you are. If people know you and you're not hated then you'll be fine, they might laugh and stuff but it really depends on how you roll with it. If you laugh with them then you'll be fine, if you make a big deal out of it, so will they.

[blaubeca]

That's very true. Other people's reactions depend a lot on how you feel about it. Good answer!

[bersaba]

Nah they'd never see my... I mean...

I've been blessed to have had only very few spontaneous erections, and all of those have been near tables or what not. I would have (and still would be) rather embarrassed if caught in that predicament.

[setcheck67]

I had an erection in the middle of my 8th grade class once. It was horrifyingly embarrassing, but no body did or said anything. The teacher just told me to go to the bathroom. It did get me laid the next day though. lol

[slugger]

Wtf? do tell how that happened

[setcheck67]

One of the girls in the classroom saw my hardon and it turned her on lol. After school let out she came up to me and asked what I was thinking of when I got all hard. I told her that I wasn't really thinking anything and she asked if I thought about her would I get all hard. Then I told her that I would and she gave me the address to a party. I saw her there and after some small talk we did it in the back room. She was a slut though so don't think it was a really sweet girl lol.

[MissGab12]

I'm not a guy, but you're totally blowing it up. I see guys with a erection all the time, I think its sexy/funny sometimes . . . unless the person looks repulsive or is a old man . . . then I just think he's a perv. Sorry!

[cardioman6519]

where do you see guys with boners?

[Standingpretty]

Well, when I see a guy with an erection, I usually understand that they can't help it and ignore it. Not to sound mean or anything, but at a dance my friend danced with this guy and he got a boner so her and me and a few of our friends dubbed him "boner boy" and we usually didn't dance with him after that, but, it's not like we went around telling people either.

[Adam0889]

I think that's kinda harsh. it's pretty much that way with any guy, if a hot girl, or rather, a girl they are attracted to, is grinding on a dude, chances are, he will get a stiffy. haha. but I mean really, we can't help it if we are turned on by it... sh*t, it's not like we can hide it like you girls can.

[Standingpretty]

Haha yeah, I know. It's not like we avoided him or anything, he just partially liked my friend and would always try to dance with her and she avoided him. He didn't know that we called him that though, only 4 girls knew about it. He didn't try to dance with anyone else though, I think he had a crush on her. Lol sometimes being able to see an ecrection is helpful though,how else can you tell if a guy likes you?! XD lol

[Bananachick]

LOL You're mean!

[Standingpretty]

My friend named him that! I just simple laughed at it..... I forget to mention it's also a turn on if you like the guy. makes for good hugs! XD

[ryaninalaska907]

to call him that ya shallow

[BigGuy8]

Personally, I'm fine with it. I've caught some people staring at it, and it flatters me. I'd just rather it not happen around co-workers or family.

[Whoknows87]

your high school operates like a nudist colony...lol

[William]

Never happened to me, and I never saw it happen to anyone else. In High School we would shower after gym and sports practice. No big deal. However I was concerned it might happen when I went to the nude beach recently, but it was no problem.

[mglass]

you high school actually made you take showers with other dudes after gym? this isn't the 70s...ur high school is weird

[cardioman6519]

Close 80-83

[Jake1]

I wish girls could see me naked with an erection all embarrassed

[imshyiknowthatslame]

Why?

[Sirrichey555]

I don't get embarrassed easily. I went into a restroom stall and worked up an erection, then walked out in the locker room with a full hard-on just to see the reaction of guys in there.

[ryaninalaska907]

so you was in a locker room? and fully nude? and you walked in the stall and you got yourself hade and then walked out hard fully nude? so what did the other guys do or say?

[sdfhstdfnsdfg]

It's embarrassing yes. I will want to adjust without someone knowing and hopefully catch it early, but not always. Usually 10-20 minutes until it subsides.

[philosophy]

If a male teacher of mine had an erection in class and it was extremely evident, it would really turn me on. Especially if it was someone that I fancied- if its just a guy in the street or in the supermarket it would go straight passed me but if it was a teacher...OMG!

[cardioman6519]

I hope it wasn't in Math class!

[Anonymous]

i remember catching a classmate in the 7th grade playing with a random erection through his pants in the middle of class. I was not okay with that.
