How do erections work?

[Anonymous]

This is a weird question, I know, but growing up in a family of girls, I have no idea how dicks work. Please explain!
(シ_ _) シ thank you in advance!

How we walk around and run, jump & play sports and stuff, an
guys penis is flaccid. Think of a balloon before you blow it (no pun intended)

How we get hard/erect is blood rushes in the penis & expanding &/or growing the penis similar to how a balloon gets bigger after you blow it. When a guy's no longer erect the blood leaves the penis are it goes back to flaccid or deflates like a balloon. Guys get 'hard' bc a penis can't keep expanding like a balloon but blood stiff rushes in making it stiff or 'hard'.

I get them all the time. Sexual arousal, any stimulation or any kind, random thoughts & just because it wants to are reasons why I get an erection

[Eckyx]

Penises are like sponges inside and had what are essentially valves that allow them to fill up with blood and become erect. Vulvas do something similar. It isn't always tied to arousal; sometimes an erection can happen if you have to pee, for instance, or (especially in younger people) for no apparent reason.

[Asker]

Good answer

[donttrytofindme]

Blood flows into them when they are stimulated through arousal, touch, pain, etc. (Men do not exclusively get an rrection when they are turned on). This makes it stiff so penetration is easier.

[Zendrya]

blood flows to penis and makes it hard

[EmmaMary]

This has to be the laugh of the week. lol

[dropkicknj13]

When anything happens or is seen that makes a man think he is going to or wants to have sex, his brain turns off and the body begins pumping his blood to his dick instead. It fills up kinda like a water balloon, and then because the pressure is high it becomes hard. You can get them all the time, at any time

[joshuafreeman707]

When aroused, the male body directs a lot of blood to the penis. This is what causes the penis to become erect, and for the level of sensitivity to be increased. This is essentially the same mechanism used in the female body, resulting in the swelling of the labia and - to a smaller extent - the clitoris.

[omgjassy]

With blood and stuff

[antheste]

To make it easier for you to understand... When you are horny your clitoris is in the same size or shape when you are not horny?
Same thing happens with penis.. but the main difference is that your clitoris is not that big as a man penis..🙂 and we can get horny just by watching something that we like

[CaptainClueless]

Are you talking about erections?
I'll try and make this simple.
We both can and cannot control them, depending on how turned on we are.
Every guy has different levels of erection.
Depending on how turned on we are and the last time we got off will factor in what level of erection we get.
For example:
1-20%: Temperature is really the only factor here.
30-50%: Might be caused by a girl who walks by and is dressed hot.
60-70%: Jacking off/Morning Wood
80-90%: Sex
100%: This level is hard to get to (pun partially intended). I've only gotten to a full 100% a few times. Despite there only being a 10% difference between 90 and 100, I'd say the difference is pretty gigantic (more puns). The last time I got to 100, I was challenging myself to see how long I could go without getting off. I reached 27 days. Let me tell you, It was like a f*cking baseball bat. I could have beat someone to death with that thing (PUNS!).

[Duskofdawn]

So, the penis is a fleshy tube of muscle. Blood gets diverted to the penis, making it hard. It still has some flexibility, but for the most part, it is erect.

[Asker]

Why do you get erections though?

[Duskofdawn]

For any reason, really. Arousal, sensation, randomly. In order to keep the penis working correctly, the body will give itself an erection to keep it healthy.

[Asker]

What happens if it doesn't erect for a while?

[Duskofdawn]

It mostly happens without us realizing, even if we're asleep. Like, if a man is unable to get erect, he might want to see a doctor.

[joshuafreeman707]

Nothing at all.

[lostliam34]

When a guy gets arrouses blood rushes to his member and makes it hard.

[lostliam34]

Quite often. Guys are easy to turn on. Especially the younger you are

[Chadster]

They work real good!

[Asker]

Lmao

[Chadster]

lmao... any time you want to chat for real, just PM me.

[Asker]

I'm ok

[Chadster]

no problem

[Sha1911]

Lmao RIP

[Asker]

@Sha1911 XD

[Asker]

This is why I made this question anonymous

[Sha1911]

Yeah good idea otherwise I'm sure loads of guys would be showing you exactly how they work with pictures lol

[Chadster]

Glad I set the tone for you on this question... just saw your update, so if I told you will tell us how often you get wet?

[Asker]

I can tell you now, I am not getting wet because of this website

[Chadster]

That's not the question you asked how often... so "how often do you get wet?" has nothing to do with this website.

[Sha1911]

Generally when blood rushes down there it becomes big and hard

[Sha1911]

I get like 5 or 6 a day I think, but I don't really count them

[warsevf]

I think every guy gets it when he is having those thoughts or saw something or its freaking cold

[Asker]

Wait... doesn't it shrivel up when it is cold

[warsevf]

No it will not. Its opposite and i dont know the reason why

[Asker]

Let me google

[Asker]

According to Google, it shrivels up close to the body to keep itself warm

[warsevf]

Dont ask just turned 18 google that guy is immature

[CaptainClueless]

He's fucking with you. It doesn't shrivel, but it does retract. Has to do with conserving warmth/blood.

[warsevf]

@CaptainClueless What really ill get one from cold. Explain me about the rainy night effect then. Ill wait

[Philyouup]

cold and wet can make you shrink.. so can any amphetamine usage,

[CaptainClueless]

@Philyouup Shit.

[Philyouup]

@CaptainClueless yeah, speed can kill you sex life... we called it micro dick, or mushroom cap, as your junk pulls way way back... And if you can manage a boner, you probably won't cum...

[CaptainClueless]

@Philyouup I'm content

[Philyouup]

yep!

[Philyouup]

@CaptainClueless ok shrivel shrink retract.. Hank ain't swinging, more like bobbing

[Asker]

I am so confused. what is all this dick slang

[CaptainClueless]

I have no fucking idea, I think they have brain damage or something. Their grammar makes me cringe.

[Philyouup]

Hank, he's my dick... when he "retracts" the head is more prominent and looks like a mush room cap.. LOL

[Philyouup]

what? English this time... I know I fat finger my texts, but wow...

[Asker]

I ask a simple question, where is my simple answer?

[Philyouup]

Simple answer! We get excited, we get hard, when we cum, it goes soft, unless your a young man and sometimes we can go again ! If its chilly, our balls retract. If we were swimming in cold water, we get "Shrinkage" . If you play with our penis, it gets hard. if you play with it long enough , it shoots and then goes soft. In the morning, before we pee, we have morning "Wood" or an erection.. we pee, it goes away.. When we cum, it can pulse as it pushes out our semen so to increase the chances of our semen will pool around your cervix... You did have Sex Education in school, right?

[Asker]

@Philyouup we used A REAL LIFE PIG for sex education

[Philyouup]

oh, the image i just got... LOL

[CaptainClueless]

@Philyouup dead thread resurrected.

[Philyouup]

@CaptainClueless The asker asked a question an hour ago.. had to answer LOL

[2opaz]

woman has on clothes > no erection

woman takes off clothes > erection

sexual stimulation that is felt in the brain causing blood to rush to the penis inducing an erection

[killer4212]

Answers on this question are fucking hilarious 😂😂

[Asker]

I know, I did this as a troll

[killer4212]

Wow😐

[Asker]

Some of them are interesting, others are as creepy af

[Nahid1234]

It means the guy is tuned in

[Nahid1234]

On **

[greNader]

Erections can't work since they are not qualified to be employed for any job.

[Asker]

How do you qualify erections then?

[greNader]

By achieving a college degree or graduate degree, a penis has a higher chance of entering the work force.

[Asker]

so true

[greNader]

Hope I helped...

[Asker]

Just think about what you said. If you go to collage, your dick is more likely to... work

[masterkamasutra]

watch porn easy idea.

[jackinoff]

All the time. I have many erections in a day

[thickd219]

Hit me up and I can show you everything.

[killer4212]

U smooth fucker😂😂😂

[Asker]

@killer4212 I think I am OK 😂😂😂

[killer4212]

😂😂😂

[daveer25]

When a guy sees something erotic some part of the penis filled with blood and they got erection

[Anonymous]

we get one between 1 and a million times every day. It's not always because we're thinking pervy thoughts. It happens on its own a lot.

[Anonymous]

There is like loads of smooth muscle in the penis. The brain sends a message to give an erection. In which blood swells inside and becomes erect.
Could I ask does size matter?

[Anonymous]

Didn't you take health or sex Ed in school?

[Anonymous]

Lmao easy guy sees sth that turns him on (cleavage boobs good ass girl eating a banane Dreaming about bdsmn fantasies etc) he gets hard then u see a bulge in his pants

[Opinion Owner]

I get one every few hours
