Guys, If he got a boner from a hug does it mean anything?

[Anonymous]

So there's this guy I like. A lot. We've known each other for over a year and there's some definite chemistry going on. He's pretty shy though and recently divorced so I've tried to keep it all friendly. We hung out on my birthday, he took me out to lunch and later on offered me a hug goodbye (he's not a hugger so I was surprised), and I of course went for it. It turned into a cuddle with my face on his chest and his chin on my head and the two of us just standing there. I was so nervous! I only barely registered that "something" was poking me in the right thigh!! I'm almost certain he was aroused (female friend agreed), but what does it men? Is it just a default reaction to female contact (not your mum or your auntie) or does it mean he's attracted to me/interested in me? Is he likely to know that I could feel "it"? And is he likely to be embarrassed? How should I approach our next meeting to avoid any awkwardness?

I think that's natural, yes, for any healthy male. Also, if the desire is more than purely physical, it's like an energetic spark, it's so natural. The only exceptions are when I'd try and suppress it if I shouldn't get a boner in that situation, or it's otherwise inappropriate. It does require a degree of relaxation. But if you're merging together intimately, then the thing comes up without even thinking. I have an issue with this sometimes. It's like mount Everest in the middle of my humble town. Not subtle, and not cool *embarrassed smilie*. Stupid thing has a mind of its own :) I threaten it with my fists, but it still won't desist.

First off, boners are not under conscious control. It sometimes just happens. Secondly, though, he may have been emotionally aroused by the hug. You say he's shy. some of us shy folk don't communicate our emotions all that well. He may have known you felt it, might feel embarrassed, and may have just 'macho it through' because he felt it might make things bad if he mentioned it. How to approach the next meeting? Just like you have in the past.

He is attractive to you.

It means he has a functional penis in good working order.

He probably liked feeling your body

Not anything particular, it just means he's not been gettin too much female attention recently.

It means he has good circulation!

If he's in your age bracket then chances are he was turned on. A hug would not give me an erection unless I really liked the woman.

He has two heads thinking is what it means or it is just a random boner

[skeptic007]

he thinks you are attractive but liking you is a totally different thing

[83yeah]

Yes!! He's a man

Pretty normal, If the body contact is long enough, the boner will say hello

It means that he didn't have sex for long time and he find you attractive. If you actually attracted to the guy and you don't want to avoid awkwardness in the next meeting, hug him again like the first time and if it happens again pull him closer so he understand that you know he has a boner and you are okay with it. However, the boner you felt might not be a boner... it might be something in his left pocket like a pin or keys.

He is physically attracted to you for sure. Not sure if it means more than that. I'm sure he could feel it pressing into you but he might not know if you noticed what it was. If he thinks you know, he could be embarrassed. I suggest not bringing it up. Just act normal. He will likely assume you didn't notice what it was.
