Always Erect
| Tue, 01-04-2005 - 3:03am |
My BF and I have been wondering why he becomes erect so often even when there is no stimulation. He says that he won't even be thinking about sex and he becomes erect. I noticed that it sometimes bothers him because he becomes erect at awkward times. We were just wondering if anyone had any insight on this. Thanks :)

How old is your boyfriend? Young men get erections often, that's not unusual. As they get older, they learn to control it better. It's a known fact that men think of sex constantly, even when they're not aware of their thoughts. This is probably what's happening to him.
If he's worried, or thinks there is something wrong, then he should see his doctor.
Dear trina,
GTB is absolutely correct, this is extremely normal for young men and occassionally even true for older guys. The sexual response takes place primarily in the parasympathetic nervous system, so the response is often slightly below our consciousness "radar".
A little embarrassing, but let your boyfriend know that there are very few men that have not experienced this for a period of their lives.
Peace.
Scott.
