Do guys get boners from hugs?

[Anonymous]

like really? how often does that sort of thing happen?

Guys, especially teenage guys can get kind of excited about even small levels of physical contact from a girl. it is not an intentional or even a conscious response. I remember many embarrassing high school dances when I tried to scoot my hips away from a girl during a slow song so she wouldn't know I was getting an erection--tent dancing rather than full body slow dancing.

After a guy gets more used to the physical contact he becomes a bit more desensitized and won't automatically react that way as much unless the contact is prolonged or involves a little extra. Although getting an erection can still be somewhat unpredictable.

So sometimes a guy might get erect from a long close hug, but sometimes from nothing at all, especially in the teens and early 20s.

Plywood in your pants will save you from both the embarrassment of an erection and 100+ years to life in prison.

It can happen. In fact, I recently had gotten a reaction just from imagining a good, long hug with a girl. It doesn't happen often (as I'm rarely hugged) but if I were hugged more often I figure it would happen more often. It can take a bit to get a reaction out of me but a hug can do it. A hug is an embrace, a way of just being close to a girl. That can evoke a lot of things from a guy, including what you have asked about.

Not usually. It seems like a lot of girls think a guy gets a boner over everything little thing she does with a girl, even just looking at her sometimes. It's about asking, "Do girls get wet from hugs?" I suppose some do sometimes. lol! But I guess if my girl was wearing the sexiest perfume, dressed hot and we were pressed close while hugging... yeah maybe. :-P

I can get a boner from virtually anything involving a girl. Looking at her, her sitting on my lap (that is really embarrassing), dancing as well (embarrassing again), thinking of any girl can do it...so I'd say, yes! Hugs qualify.

[doctorwhofan23]

pretty much anything can make a guy get a boner.

[TwiztedTD]

Yup, it could happen.

I've had that happen to me before. It happens occasionally, it really depends on how attractive I think they girl is, or if I like a girl then yes.

it would have to be a very long hug.

Erections don't happen in a few seconds, they take a little while. I'm surprised girls don't know this.

Maybe its because we don't have penis's

[Opinion Owner]

Lol, yeah, but you handle penises way more than we do.

depends how close the hug is. I have before but that was because she was really close and there was some friction. lol
