Question for guys

OK-here goes. Is it normal for some guys to become semi-erect throughout the course of the day for no reason, or is that likely a reaction to something/someone?

It's very common, and the younger they are, the more often it happens. They say that guys think of sex every 20 seconds, lol

It happens because it happens. I certainly hope you're not asking this because it happens to your b/f and it's "bothering" you.....Because it's natural and normal.

PS: They also have several erections during the night while they're sleeping, and many men wake up with a morning erection.

I am a 45 year old guy and I'll tell you that since the time I was 13 years old theres not 45 mins in the day that go by without me thinking of sex. That leads to hard-ons, semi-erections thoughout the day. A good looking woman at work walks by and bang you feel it growing in your pants. But not all guys are the same. So that's just what my day is like. I hope it helps

Well, I think it's pretty normal for some guys to have erections often, and I think it's pretty normal for something/someone to cause them. The something can be a thought, a feeling, a touch, a breeze, etc. The someone can be a passerby, a current lover, a past lover, or a fantasy person, etc.

There are also medications that can cause erections, in some cases, a semi-erection that will not go away. I know that some anti-psychotics do that.

Very often I have found that talking to my then-current lover on the phone -- it doesn't have to be about sex at all -- will produce a rigid enough erection that I can't very well stand up at work. It's purely like some kind of switch goes off. Other than that I don't really get them during the day, except for times when I'm really really busy and put off peeing until I absolutely have to go or I'll pop, I often get one then too.

hi. i too often have full or semi erections during the day. sometimes they are driven by sexy thoughts/reactions to something-someone, other times they just happen.... and end up causing sexy thoughts.

it's a nice thing either way.

I will get erections when with my girlfriend sometimes even in a public place, though we usually don't do anything about it. It doesn't happen all the time. I have had her encourage me to take her during the night when we are sleeping together if I get an erection and I upon making sure she is sexually aroused of course, perform foreplay on her gently as she is sleeping when she is wet and aroused enough I have put on a condom our only choice of contraception as she will not use hormone based ones and entered her and had intercourse with her sometimes in spoon position, sometimes if she is on her back I will gently spread her legs and enter her when she is aroused and sometimes she wakes up a bit when she feels me inside her thrusting gently and will grab my cheeks and begin moving against me other times she will give out little moans of semi awareness that I am inside her. Other times she will fully wake up and wrap her legs around me and if I've been inside her for a while will ask me to ravish her, to thrust harder and roam my hands over her body. It is a turn on for both of us when we do this. One time when she got up to go feed her cat at 5 am, she said, "I have a sense that you took me and had sex with me during the night, did you?" To which I replied, "Yes I did." At that point, she showed she will still very wet and she got out a condom and spread her legs got on top and put my penis inside her and it was great. She loves the friction of my thrusts when she is on top and she loves grinding against me as well. I will also go down on her as well both love oral sex. Well I think you can guess what my happen soon.
