Guys, what makes you get an erection?

Even little things WRITE-THEM-DOWN! haha! :-) Plus if you want; write an experience about you getting one and whether you felt embarrassed or not? My friend plus me were Once in gym class, this guy walked past us, we think we saw a boner in his shorts! It looked a bit puffed in the front, he ran outside, I don't think he noticed us staring *awkward*

  • -Random erections. This doesn't happen often at all once puberty is finished.

    -Wandering erections. When my mind starts to wander and think sexual thoughts, I slowly get hard whether I'm in a public setting or not.

    -Morning wood. Usually happens when waking up after a dream or when the bladder is full and I have to take a piss.

    -Nocturnal erections. Naturally occurs amongst men (regardless of the dream) unless the man has physical problems (easiest way to determine if impotence is physical or emotional to doctors and psychologists).

    -Physical / Sexual erections. Basically the usual you think about. When I'm turned on by a girl, penis is being touched, sexually excited ect.

    >Fun facts? The average male gets around 11 erections daily, most of which happen during REM (rapid eye movement) sleeping.

    >A male fetus can and does get erections in the womb. Creepy right O _______ O

    >The average penis is around 5.25-5.75 inches long and 4.7-5.1 inches in girth.

    Experience? To make things short, got one in English from looking at this girl I liked in class --- teacher randomly selected me to present project next --- Bought some time by pretending to tie my shoe and get papers ready, where I effectively executed the waste band tuck ---- As I was walking up to the front it fell out, so I had to stuff my left hand in my pocket to hide the bulge as I was holding my papers in my right. ----- Teacher stops me 30 seconds in and tells me to look up at my audience, take my hand out of my pocket, and fix my posture ... bitch :'( ---- Luckily it started to taper off because I was nervous, so I'm not to sure how many girls noticed the slight bulge :O

    • How about a guy who is standing right in front of me,bodies facing each other but we are a desk's distance apart ?He suddenly looked down for a while and shifted his body to the side.Is it possible for him to have an erection?

    • Totally possible.

  • i normally don't get full erections from how a girl looks but I can get one from long strong eye contact with a girl I find sexy...and I can also get one from talking about sex.

    i can also get a very strong hardon with pre-cum if I'm kinda anticipating a sexual situation (even if it doesn't happen).

    once a girl friend of mine was taking me home from a friends house (she offered), and for some reason, I had a raging hard on because I was kinda expecting something to happen...i offered her to come in a hangout for a few minutes and she declined. :(

  • Mhh.. nothing visual, its more about the mind.

    Speaking about things that have to do with sex in a subtle way with a girl I like (can be a friend too, or just a girl I know a bit who isn't standing on the 'just go away' list)

    Doing it directly would turn me off again.

    Mhh.. Maybe it would also happen when I sit in a sauna with the same person. At least I would be scared to go there with her because it would embarass me a lot =P

    And if you are scared about it, it WILL happen -.-

  • I get erections from things like:

    -- anonymous girls who ask about erections

    -- watching a couple of girls walk by in gym class

    For some reason, I don't think the asker is really 18-24!

    • LOL ;) lool no, I kind of accidently pressed the wrong one, how do you change it?! XD (if you know stranger)

    • Guys get erections when the wind blows. Or maybe you looked hot walking past him. Maybe he likes the feeling when he puts on his jockstrap. Maybe it was seeing other guys in gym class? But it was probably you!

  • A girl spreading her butt with BOTH hands. Works every time.

  • It just happens. Any pleasant sexual activity will give a guy an erection. Anything from waking up in the morning to a change in temperature can do it. We can't really help it.

  • Big boobs ha ha )

  • men will get random erections. Anything can turn them on and it's not their fault.

  • Morning wood (men wake up with erections, that's just how it is)

    Seeing hot women

    Thinking about hot women

    Doing absolutely nothing

  • Young guys can get erections for absolutely no reason at all.

    Or the most trivial things can set it off. Sitting next to a woman on the subway. Seeing a low-cut blouse with cleavage showing. Anything at all.
