Hugging my younger sister gives me an erection?

Okay, this is going to sound pretty bad. I promise it's not that way. I know it is going to be very tempting to joke or troll at this question, but please don't! Serious answers only.

I'm 29 years old and my sister is 18 years old. Basically, the other day my sister suddenly hugged me from behind my back for an extended period of time, something which she usually doesn't do, and for some reason my body decided to give me a very hard erection due to her touch at that very moment! She probably hugged me for something like 4 embarrassing minutes... I'm pretty ashamed to say this, but my underwear also got quite wet from precum.

I'm NOT attracted to her, and yes not even subconsciously, and me being very tired at the time probably had something to do with it too. But this scared the hell out of me! My parents were there too and I sure hope my sister or them did not notice my involuntary reaction. Luckily I was wearing jeans and a long jacket.

You may find this situation funny (or anger inducing if you think I'm a creep) but now I'm really afraid to hug my sister. I don't want to avoid her because of this.

Did anyone had a similar experience? How do you counter your deep-wired male body reactions? Haha.

  • Look your primal male brain sex circuitry reacted to intimate female body contact as designed before your neocortex said 'its your sister - not exciting'. I think it was more the unexpectedness than anything.

    Don't avoid hugging your sister because of this. Normal hugging will produce normal results (no erection).

    A waitress ran slap into me and I had a similar reaction to you. OK she wasn't my sister but I wasn't exactly wanting to be sporting an erection in front of shop full of customers.

  • It's actually natural to be attracted to women in their prime like this- it's not like your mind cannot look at a sibling and objectively view them as attractive. Often there are mental blocks that stop you from considering them a sexual object, and there are also sense detections like smell that make the scent of a sibling unattractive to us. I speculate this is a built-in defense against incest.

    Why do you think your sister hugged you as long as she did? Can it be that she's testing out her flirting/ seduction skills on someone she feels is familiar?

    • My sister actually had bad period pain and was hugging me long for comfort. Felt pretty awful for it. Your speculations could make sense!

    • You shouldn't feel awful because of how your body was designed to react. You didn't decide to get an erection, clearly. As long as you be careful around her, and treat her with respect there's nothing to be worried about.

    • Thank you for your understanding. I'll keep it mind and be careful from now on. I certainly would not want to get myself into an awkward situation and have to explain such an embarrassing topic. I'm actually really shy about this stuff in real life and could never explain myself properly on the spot without making a mess out of my words haha. You made me feel better now.

  • that's kinda the opposite of how I grew up. My younger brother used to go through my dirty clothes hamper and take out my dirty panties to sniff. He's use any excuse to see me either naked, or almost naked.

    • Being in the same family often gives the opportunity to see each other naked. He was using that opportunity to help satisfy his curiosity about female anatomy. If nudity in the family is normal, he would have grown up used to it and less likely to try to see you that way. How did you feel about all that interest in seeing you naked?

    • I've heard of things like this. I never had an older sister, but I'm pretty sure even as a teenager I wouldn't go that far. Never understood the appeal in sniffing anyway. Don't hold it against him though, people have different levels of libido throughout their lives and sometimes it defies their own values. I'm sure he feels very embarrassed now when thinking back!

    • @Red_Arrow to be honest, I kinda got a kick out of it. Sometimes I'd tease him by going and talking to him when I was in my undies and the parents weren't home. And one time I almost walked in on him while he was sniffing my panties and masturbating, citbut I hid and it actually turned me on knowing that it excited him so much. We never did anything else though.

  • I was told y'all get erections for nonsexual reasons all the time.

    Maybe that's all it was

  • It is not normal and since it happened you should not allow close contact between you two. If you are old enough to know what’s happening then you are old enough to know how to prevent it.

    One can interact with their opposite sex sibling without touching. Make certain you do not and keep these things in privacy.

    • I appreciate your opinion. I usually do not initiate hugs, I'm not really a touchy type.

    • Not even side face kiss or cheek touch…?

  • I'm not a guy but I have a brother and guy friends and I'm not sure this normal? Could it have just been a random boner at an awkward time and completely unrelated?

    • It could be. It happens to me often when I'm tired and I did not sleep well that night. Still a pretty horrifying experience!

    • Yeah that would be a weird experience 😳

  • It is weird. Hugs to my back do not turn me on unless is my SO and I would expect it to be the beginning of something more physical to come. If she had hugged your front I could understand the feel of her body against yours could cause that to happen.

  • This is no good.

  • Don't ignore your sister but if it continues to happen, ask her not to hug you.

    I never had sisters so cannot relate.

    That said, I don't agree with you linking this to "deep-wired male body reactions".

    • I think I may do it. Maybe I didn't put my words very well.

  • Two things.

    The age difference tends to mitigate the natural prohibition of siblings. Also, pheromones can over-rule that same prohibition. Its not perversion. It's biology.

  • Hoe old are you?

  • Pretty incestuous

    Stay away from her and get help lmao

  • Possible ramdom erection. But get help. Talk to a psychologist.

  • Yes to similar experience. Work party many years ago, people got intoxicated. I stay sober; some women from a different ethic group wanted to dance with me. I wasn't attracted to them, but I did get a semi-hard erection from that interaction.
    I would "counter" it, just try to hide it and secretly "enjoy" the feeling.

  • O that could be a big problem for you, go see a dr asap.

  • Natural body reaction…. especially if you haven’t had any female touch in a while. I have an older sister and have had it happen before…. and I’m not interested nor acted on any of those bodily reactions.

  • Not normal. I was an orphan, got a cousin, not even blood related. She's a beautiful woman, but I don't feel any attraction towards her. It's family it's just family. I always thought it's just normal to not be attracted to family and the fact you or at least body doesn't seem to recognize that, is alarming to say the least. Just maybe try to keep your distance or greet her by just kissing the cheek like people do with others. Or perhaps see some doctor.

  • Nope. I don't have a sister.

  • Disgusting

  • Family film 📽️

  • You are a sicko, get help.

  • Bro, no. This is not normal at all

  • That's not normal, if you have any erection from it that's means you can able to feel something to her, maybe just one time happen that's acceptable but if that's keep happining allways that will be end up in bad situation, you should think about it...

    • Dude I swear it's just my body, I'm not even attracted to other girls her age. Though yes it would be pretty bad if it kept happening...

    • Maybe you should leave little distance between your sister, yes she is your sister but you can able to control yourself about it..

    • Never thought I'll have to practice to control my erections with my own sister...

  • You are a virgin aren’t you.
