    Covering up his crotch area with something or maybe putting his hands in his pockets to subtly hold it to the side/make adjustments is an indicator. But just because a guy holds an object in that area or hand his hands in his pockets doesn't mean he's getting hard.

    Looking at your other responses I should mention guys don't get boners just by talking to or looking at a pretty girl. It comes from thinking about or noticing sexual cues. You shouldn't expect a guy to have a boner just because you're talking to him.

    There's not really a difference in boners between teenage and adult guys. As a teenager maybe he'll have a smaller dick and also it can happen completely randomly for no reason more often as a teen.

    When his dick is hard.

    Seriously though, it's likely that he has one if he's desperately crossing his legs or putting something (usually a book or laptop) over his crotch in order to hide it. And sometimes he'll put his hands in his pocket and push out the clothe so it won't press into it.

      It's probably because you don't actually say anything remotely sexy. Just because they're guys doesn't mean that they'll get hard over every little thing that you say or do.

    They get more buldgy down there, and if you can't see it they get more fidgety and start fidgeting with their pants and boxers amd put their hands in their pockets, or they put stuff in front of their crotch, some guys wear a long hoody though just incase. Even older men are like this not just teenage guys.

      He might of just been adjusting his penis in his boxers, guys fidget with their pants to do that too even when they aren't hard, but if he was fidgeting for more than half hour then he was probs hard lol.

    A teenage boy will most likely get a boner just at the sight of you, let alone any physical contact. I use to find it really hard when younger not getting one, my girlfriend even use to help hide it lol.

    You may not see it externally, but you'll feel it during physical contact, when close etc

      But if you do something they notice to prompt it.. Get close or touch them or whatever it will most likely happen. Sometimes it can just happen at random, but at that age it happens a lot.

      Maybe he just might not have an erection, guys aren't perpetually hard throughout the day.

      That still doesn't mean he's hard. If you REALLY want to tell if a guy has an erection or not, just keep taking glances at the merchandise, you'll most likely be able to tell eventually.

      if he gets a boner, he will reach into his pockets or directly into his pants to adjust, because it´s very uncomfortable to become aboner with pants on. usually it just hangs there but if it gets hard it wants up but the pants are in the way of it. also you might see a bulge, he´s trying to hide.

      either or. most likely it isn't there yet or he just didn't have a normal size one cause since we are teens it comes up at random times and isn't full sometimes. so if you see it and think its just small it might just be not a full one. plus the average size of one is only 5.1 inch now. If you see it either dont bring it up, or giggle but dont be like EWWW just say its ok

      I dont give a shit if a girl is pretty it's not giving me a boner. If she is attractive+ has a nice body and is sitting on me or something, potential for a boner. Or she's in tight clothes or being very flirty while sitting on my lap or something.

      Yeah, lol. When they're hard, it's really noticeable. Sometimes they'll stand funny to hide it. Trust me, when he's hard, you'll know it haha.

      What if I looked and I couldn't see anything? It always feels really awkward for me when I look at a guy's crotch area...
