Morning Wood

---

Believe me hiding a can of piss is a whole lot easier than hiding my boner!!! Now I will be careful before I reopen a can of Mountain Dew.

Pony, you never said, has anyone ever seen your boner in the morning?

No one has seen it but there is an obvious bulge, which no one could not miss.

In reply to: No one has seen it but there is an obvious bulge, which no one could not miss. I can't imagine peeing into a bottle or cup. Chamber-pots, is that what they were called, went out of style with the old outhouse I think. I never used a bottle, and would probably find the aim nearly impossible with morning wood.I imagine in my mind one of those tiny bottles the doctor wants you to fill for some urine test, that would so easily overfill.No, I would rather myself, or rather see others, bulge sometimes in the mornings.I can easily respect other people's privacy in the mornings, by not talking about their "bulges," especially if they don't bulge a lot more than the other guys, or anything more than "normal," which could even be the occasional boner for some guys?If the others could not miss your morning bulge, do they say anything, appear to notice, or even care? Do other guys "bulge" in the morning too? Perhaps they are so self-conscience, that they wouldn't even notive anybody else bulging?I would like to see more people marry younger. I think that would help. People are still single, at often too old an age, with no proper sexual outlet.

Marry younger? At what age do you consider younger?

In reply to: Marry younger? At what age do you consider younger? Puberty is coming sooner, probably due to better nutrition, and yet people are procrastinating marriage up into their 30s. More people could marry in their 20s, if they know who they are to marry, and I think many people could be ready to marry in their teenage years, with parental permission and if their parents believe they are ready.Historically, the age of "adulthood" and in other countries, is actually younger than it is often considered to be in more developed countries, in which play and partying is somehow considered more important than the responsibility for people to settle down and raise families.I believe a much higher percentage of post-puberty people, should be sexually active, within marriage, and having children. And it would be good for people to have more time for their families to possibly grow larger, and for human populations to grow bigger so that all the more people can live and enjoy life.

(Way off topic, but I couldn't help myself)You want human population to expand? You do know overpopulation is a problem, right? As for marrying teens, I think this would lead to more people and more heartbreak. People change a lot in their teens and early twenties. You'd see a lot more kids without moms or dads and this is already a problem. Personally, marrying in the late twenties is your best bet.Don't worry about morning wood, there's more important issues like where the wood has been.

Sorry, this reply seemed to have got lost, so I shall try to rewrite it:

You respect people and give them the benefit of the doubt. When you share the bathroom with 28 guys, you know there will be talk if someone is different.

---

But some guy getting morning wood, hardly seems to be much "different." Ever since puberty, most guys get those reproductive twinges, and know they can get a hard-on quite easily, thus the more common morning wood, seems almost "normal."

But 28 guys seems a bit much to share a bathroom, and within a group that large, there may be a few guys who may not have yet seen some other guy get a hard-on or who may not know what to think of it. I think it a shame how some people these days, are shy and scared of a little locker room nudity. Like they have anything we don't have? At summer camp, there was probably only a dozen guys in a cabin, not 28.

In reply to:

---

In general, the consensus is that guys with boners are sexually excited and that the dressing/bathrooms where guys are bare ass is not the place to display morning wood.

---

Maybe they are sexually excited. Maybe they have a full bladder. How do we know and why should we much care? It may not be the place to get erections, but with that many guys, isn't it only a matter of time before some sleepy guy or some guy with a full bladder gets morning wood? Why fret the inevitable? I rather respect people's privacy and not talk about their morning bulges, especially if they don't bulge too much above "normal," which might be the occasional boner for some guys? I think it spontaneous, unless they give me reason to think otherwise. To hear that so-and-so has a boner, isn't that a little like hearing that they have a dick? Well, whoop-de-do. What are we supposed to do about it? Panic? Feel threatened? Just one of those things. A "fact of life" I imagine. Penises get hard. What a shocking relevation?

In reply to:

---

You get no credit if you feel up 50 girls, but get one boner in the wrong place and you would be considered gay. I do not need or want that type of reputation.

---

I can understand some guy waking with a boner, or the typical "morning bulge" that often persists longer than they may like. Like which of us doesn't get the occasional morning wood? What I don't understand is those weirdos who wear their pants down low, or show off their underwear above their pants in public, or who get ugly tattoos or bizarre body piercings. Whatever for? To advertise for sex or show themselves to be freaks?

It takes more evidence than an erection to show somebody as immoral or "gay." All penises occasional get erect, don't they, for most any reason at all? Sexual thoughts, a full bladder, too much semen building up, being tired, because one has a penis... To say that so-and-so has a hard-on, isn't that sort of like saying that they have a dick? Wow! Shocking relevation? Penises just sometimes get hard, whether we want them to or not, so I don't see it as that big a deal, and we should be a little more willing to just overlook it I think.

And I think one reason people move off-campus, rent apartments, or buy houses, is that they get tired of sharing bathrooms with strangers, don't like getting a different dorm room all the time, having to go home on every holiday break, or not having enough room for all their stuff. I moved off campus and rented an apartment, after only 1 1/2 years, because I didn't like the crappy roommates I ended up with. Not for having to share a bathroom with others, not having any erection problems by then, other than the normal night-time boners.

In reply to:

---

One thing you said it was your friends that saw your boner, not all these guys are friends. How many friends saw you and are you sure none of them talked about it behind your back?

---

I don't know how many people saw, because most of them didn't say anything anyways. But I don't think they talk much behind my back, and I will tell you why. Such a question seems to assume that the world revolves around me (or the guy who happens to be caught with a morning erection). But it doesn't. Not in other people's minds. To demonstrate, let's warm up the Mind Reado Detecto Set, set the coordinates to "some time ago" and location dials to "summer camp" and see if we can find out what the other guys may have been thinking:

"I can't believe how long that guy's dick is."
"My older brother is bigger than that guy."
"He's almost horse size. Maybe 8 or 9 inches?"
"My dad isn't that big."
"I hope nobody noticed my morning wood yesterday."
"What's going on? Did I miss something?"
"Why did they say he was 'Ready?' Ready for what?"
"I hope I get that big in a few more years."
"I better not say anything lest somebody notice I am getting stiff also."
"Somebody is hard again already? I just saw one of the guys trying to hide one, just 2 days ago."
"Is that what happens after puberty? Cool, I guess."
"He will make some lady happy some day."
"I wonder how many children he will have."
"Better not look, or I might get hard too, or get caught looking."
"I would be freaked out if I was seen so hard, but he goes on like its no big thing. I wish I could be more like that."
"I almost got a hard-on in the showers, so what can I say?"
"I often get morning wood myself, so it's no big deal. Just happens."
"I wonder what's for breakfast."
"I wish I was at home."
"My brothers and sisters are probably into all my stuff while I am gone."
"My bladder is about to explode. Better hurry and get dressed."
"Wow! That guy is really hard. Ready to fuck or something. But I don't care. Some guy was sticking straight out in the showers just the other day. Don't want to get caught looking though. Somebody might think I am not quite right? Shouldn't look at other people's things."
"Yeah, I can see why that guy is so hard, what with no place to jerk off around here. I'm not used to this either and am getting kind of horny myself."
"Wish that guy wouldn't get so hard. Next thing some morning I will be the one with the boner."
"One of the coolest things about getting out of bed, is seeing somebody else with morning wood. Glad I am not the only one."
"I didn't sleep good last night. I miss my bed at home."

I think I was a little older than some of the guys, not all of whom had probably gone through puberty. Being older, and being a little "above average" in size, probably helps prevent any possible teasing. Being a little envious, may hinder teasing. And some groups of people are better than others. And after a few days, its probably "old news" anyways, as most guys have probably seen a few hard-ons already. After all, "hard-ons" and "boners" do sort of imply spontaneous and embarrassing, as to say a man gets a boner before having sex with his wife, would seem a little redundant. Well, duh? We should hope so? What guys doesn't get a few hard-ons or boners after puberty? Just sort of happens for some reason.

Even the TV sitcom Rosanne talks about her "son" getting an erection on the school bus, and how it supposedly is "normal" for boys to get occasional erections. The movement of the bus, puberty, having hormones that may be "raging," etc. I seem to recall having raging boners on the bus. The bus doesn't stop moving, just because some guy is getting really hard. But often it isn't seen, with books and coats around to conceal it. So does it really matter much if it gets even stiffer, especially when one's stop is still a ways off? Now is Rosanne a perversion of our wayward, decaying morals society? Or has she really discovered that erections are sort of "normal?" Maybe both? I think more the latter. Put all those people on the bus, and eventually, somebody is going to get a hard-on. If not her son, then somebody else, just by the law of averages. So how did Rosanne's TV "son" get caught anyways? Perhaps his pants were "tenting?" Should he have brought a coat, in nearly the middle of summer?

In reply to: (Way off topic, but I couldn't help myself)You want human population to expand? You do know overpopulation is a problem, right? The most natural and elegant outlet for reproductive urges, is, reproduction. Of course I want the human population to expand. Continued population growth is great progress for humanity. More and more people would be glad to live, and most everybody wants children. That pretty much necessitates human population expansion.Those over-educated population control freaks in their air-conditioned ivory towers, don't know much what they are talking about when they fret over the supposed human "overpopulation." There are just too many ways that more human population can be accomodated to advocate preventing the births of fellow humans who very much would want to live, and are much the same as us.Although the reason to fill an "empty" planet may not seem quite as relevant as in the Biblical times that God commanded people to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth, the earth is still nowhere near "full" of people either and has much room for lots more people, if ever need be or should human populations manage to grow a lot larger. Most of the great reasons to have children, still are just as valid as ever. We have only lost but one. That the earth isn't so "empty" anymore. But God commanded people to multiply, not to prevent an "empty" planet so much as to welcome all the more people to live and experience life, I believe. Thus, and considering that God has never rescinded that commandment and our reproductive drives are as strong as ever, it is just as relevant in today's world of burgeoning billions. Large families should be encouraged worldwide, so that all the more people may live. Even more so, considering all the more technology now available that is scalable to better support large and growing populations of people.I am pro-life, but the pro-life position is more logically consistant when it is also pro-population. It is good for children to grow up with brothers and sisters, for parents to be more experienced in raising children (parents with children to keep having more), and for children to grow up with siblings to better condition them to live and thrive in a populous world and for the richer family experience.In reply to: As for marrying teens, I think this would lead to more people and more heartbreak.More people? More people on the planet is good. All these people aren't just numbers, but people's friends, children, and relatives. More heartbreak? Perhaps younger marriage is not for everybody, but for more people. Why struggle to abstain from sex for a prolonged time, if you know who to marry and are fairly ready? Overall, Americans in general procrastinate marriage too long. Parents used to marry off their children younger, to prevent things like children being born outside of wedlock. There also used to be better customs and more chaperones to prevent improper (sexual) behavior, before marriage.How young is too young? Hard to say. I am not going to judge nations that let people marry as young as 13. Some couples, especially in other cultures, may be ready by then. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was thought to be around 14, by Bible scholars, when she was to be joined in marriage to Joseph. And still a virgin until after the birth of Jesus. One example: at a Church I once went to, they married a couple where the guy was 18, and she was 17. But everybody thought they were ready, and old enough. The Church, parents, all that. I think so too. I certainly makes a lot more sense than today's loose sexual immorality.In reply to: People change a lot in their teens and early twenties. You'd see a lot more kids without moms or dads and this is already a problem. Personally, marrying in the late twenties is your best bet.If earlier marriage was encouraged, and more responsibility, you would see more children with both moms and dads, and a more family-friendly society. There are likely many people who could marry before their early or late twenties.In reply to: Don't worry about morning wood, there's more important issues like where the wood has been. Yeah, have to agree with you there. Good point.

No one has seen me because I get up an hour before anyone else. My boner is the same size whether it is from excitement or a full bladder. You mentioned something about a normal bulge, I am large and my tented pajamas do not look normal. Do you expand to different sizes? I don't, it will blow up fast, quick, and it loves standing at attention.
We share a bathroom that is in the center of the building, 14 rooms on both sides. Yea pissing in a cup would be difficult but I would try that before I venture down the hallway. Pissing while taking a shower is the easiest way since the aim does not matter.

Not sure that I understand what the big deal is about. I understand that you share a bathroom 28 other guys. You have to go down a hallway to get there and can be seen by others as you walk down the hall. The bathroom must have open showers with no privacy. Kinda like at the YMCA, with just a bunch of shower heads on the walls. You stand in the middle of the room and bathe. Everyone is in plain sight. No place to hide. The toilets are lined up on a wall with little or no division. You see what everyone is doing.You are afraid that someone will see you have a hardon and make fun of you or think you are wierd. Don't worry, all the other guys are worrying about the same thing. They don't want to be seen with an erection either. You want your gf to see it (in fact you dream that your girlfriend will see it and take care of it) You just do not your guy friends to see it..I had sorta the same problem with privacy in the dorm. I grew up as an only child and never had to share a bathroom. No one ever saw me naked in the morning. I was not prepared to share toilet facilities when I got to college.We had 4 bedrooms with two guys each that shared a bathroom built for three (three sinks, three showerheads, three toilets). There were many times when you would have a couple guys shaving at the sinks, a couple in the showers and a couple taking a piss. Depended on who had class when. There was really no pirvacy. Everyone knew what you were doing and what equipment you had. I was always more afraid they would make fun of my small flaccid penis that seeing it errect. Soft it is nothing but it grows to a respectable 6.5 inches.This is what I did to hide morning wood. I stripped in the room. There was a desk between the beds so my roommate could not see me. At least we sorta had some privacy when we slept. Could not stare at each other. I put on a bathrobe and knoted it above my erection. The belt helped to hide the erection. Then I went straight to the shower, tossed the robe on a hook and picked a showerhead so I could face the wall and not be seen so easily from the door. Took a piss and it all went away. If the weather was warm and I did not want to fool with the robe, I just held a towel in front of me as I went down the hall. So what if the other guys saw my bare ass. It was not as if they had never seen it before. Don't wrap the towel around you. Your boner will just make it really tent and that is what you are trying to hide.The moral to this long story is that you will just have to be a little creative in what you wear to the shower in the morning. A thick terry cloth bathrobe will do a lot to cover up a morning erection.The idea of pissing in a jar just sounds wierd to me. First, do you really want your roommate to wake up and hear you pissing in the jar. He will really think you are strange. Second, do you want to get caught walking down the hall to dump the piss. Will it not look a little funny to be carrying a jar of yellow fluid to the bathroom to dump it and what will you do with the jar?Grab your gear, hold a towel in front and take care of morning buisness. Everyone is doing the same thing.J

In reply to: Not sure that I understand what the big deal is about. Well, not everyone is as comfortable as you are with other guys seeing your erection. I don't understand why you don't think it IS a big deal. Everyone is different. \ In reply to: The idea of pissing in a jar just sounds wierd to me. First, do you really want your roommate to wake up and hear you pissing in the jar. He will really think you are strange. Second, do you want to get caught walking down the hall to dump the piss. Will it not look a little funny to be carrying a jar of yellow fluid to the bathroom to dump it and what will you do with the jar? Well, I can't speak for others, but I wouldn't pee in a jar. I have peed in Mt. Dew plastic bottle. That way I can close the bottle and seal it. Put it under my bed to empty later when I can bring it to the bathroom with no one around. If they saw, they would just think it was mt. dew. No biggie. For those of you who say you can't pee in a bottle cause of aim. You don't put the bottle on the floor and try to get in it. You put the tip of your dick right on the opening. Unless you have an inch wide piss slit, then you can pee in it no problem (32 oz bottle can hold all your pee). Also, I never peed while my roommmate was in the room, he was already down the hall in the bathroom. Besides my roommate and I had seen each other's wood, I wouldn't worry about him seeing. It was other guys I didn't know I didn't want to see me. And those guys DID talk and tease about guys in the showers. They were all jocks (it was an athletic camp).

Some of you guys are nuts! Having a boner in a men's bathroom is not normal nor would it be considered so by most of the male population. You would be considered gay at best and someone that should be avoided. Sorry guys, no one cares if you have a hard on because you have to piss.

I never realized thought this topic would draw so much attention!

Sorry....boners are normal and happen for a variety of reasons, most times not related to anything sexual at all. I've had them in locker rooms, class rooms, on airplanes, in cars, walking down the road and in all other sorts of public places. I'm not gay because I've had them in a locker room and neither is anyone else. Give me a break, obviously you have no clue about what being gay really is...you simply want to throw the word around without any purpose or reason for it.

You would be considered gay at best and someone that should be avoided. Sorry guys, no one cares if you have a hard on because you have to piss. Hate to sound like an ass, but... You either have no gone through or started puberty or are afraid to admit it. It is normal and trust me you think the first thing on my mind is "what guy I wanna do" while trying to pee in the bathroom? However it is also hard as hell to hide my dick which at best is over 9 inches. Its a fricken curse it seems, you do have to lean back in the morning and be very careful wearing boxers as people can easily see your bulges. I get them in my school's classroom 5-6 times a day for no reason, doing math work (namely factoring and doing square root problems) does not make me sexually excited. I've seen other guys before, hell even my old man, but its not something to start thinking people are gay about. It just happens to be chemical changes in your body and is usually caused by an increase in the sex hormone, testosterone. With other guys around I would not show it off or anything for kicks or make anyone else feel ashamed, but last guy who looked over stared at me for quite awhile, it is embarrassing as can be. (Gay guys still have a tendancy to hit on me once and awhile) However I have a gf and love her very much, I am not into other guys. Little side note: guys with hard-ons are physically unable to pee because of a 'valve' that cuts off urination, hard-ons are not sexual and therefore will not usually cause it to be impossible to pee, when you are sexually aroused try and go pee, your going to have to lose that hard-on before you do no matter how hard you try. So guys with morning wood don't need to be thinking about it or any other times in the day don't need to be exactly thinking about it, its just a phase in puberty which will go away later on, morning wood can continue way longer though.

Glad to hear form someone with the same problem who has my dimensions. When you are our size it is impossible to hide it. I do not want to show it off so I avoid the situation in the morning by getting up before everyone else. The best way to solve a problem is to avoid the problem. My way no one knows about my morning wood or the size of my tool. I guess there are some guys out there that would be proud and display it every morning for all to see. I am not an exhibitionist.

hehe im sure theres a few girls out there (myself included) who would love to help u with ur lil situation.....no need to take care of it in the shower when u could do it in ur room

In reply to:Little side note: guys with hard-ons are physically unable to pee because of a 'valve' that cuts off urination, hard-ons are not sexual and therefore will not usually cause it to be impossible to pee, when you are sexually aroused try and go pee, your going to have to lose that hard-on before you do no matter how hard you try. Well, that's not quite true. The valve that closes that makes it impossible to pee only fully closes during orgasm and ejaculation. The valve is located in the prostate, and when you feel the pressure in your prostate as you are about to cum, that is when the valve is closed, and it stays closed throughout the orgasm, and for a short while after orgasm. So it really doesn't have to do with a hard-on - it has to do with the process of orgasm and ejaculation. So you can pee while hard (aroused or not aroused), although it can be more difficult to. BTW, technically any kind of erection is a form of arousal. You may not have control over it, or wanted it, such as with spontaneous erections, and morning wood, but its still a form of arousal. These are usually more physical arousals, rather than mental arousal. In reply to: morning wood can continue way longer though. Yes, morning wood pretty much never goes away past puberty. Guys who are healthy get morning wood most of the time, well into their 40's, 50's, 60's, and beyond. If you're NOT getting morning wood much, it can be a sign of a hormone or prostate problem, or a sign of erection disfunction. So when you are greeted with morning wood, be happy, because its showing you that everything is A-OK down there.

Re: Normal morning bulge sometimes = boners.In reply to: No one has seen me because I get up an hour before anyone else. My boner is the same size whether it is from excitement or a full bladder. You mentioned something about a normal bulge, I am large and my tented pajamas do not look normal. Do you expand to different sizes?

Yea pissing in a cup would be difficult but I would try that before I venture down the hallway. Pissing while taking a shower is the easiest way since the aim does not matter. I said at that point, that the normal morning bulge could be the occasional boner for some guys. I know a hard-on can very easily blow up into a full boner.No, I don’t normally expand to different sizes. Like one of the posters said, whether intended or not, hard-ons are a form of arousal which feel very good. When I was younger and would get a hard-on, it generally kept growing and growing into a full boner that would persist for quite a while. Thinking about trying to “make” it go down, would only arouse it all the more. It only makes one more aware how good a hard-on feels, which makes it even harder. My penis also blows up fast and quickly rises to stick straight out. A “mild” hard-on wouldn’t make me look simply more endowed, because it doesn’t just get bigger, but quickly rises and stiffens when getting hard. Too long and thick to hide, unless I happen to be wearing a sweater or a coat. Penises seem to be bi-stable. When soft they tend to stay soft for a while. But a hard-on mild enough to not show, was rather unlikely, because it either wouldn’t get much hard at all, or soon leap into a full and persistant boner that just stays stiff until it wears itself out and finally subsides. I don’t tend to just get half-hard but rather one way or the other.But by college, I didn’t normally get erections beyond my room or at night. And I don’t think I had to urinate before normal “morning wood” would go down. I don’t normally have erection problems with aim to pee. Although I have never had “bashful bladder” and can pee most any time I want, and I don’t much care if anybody sees my dick at a urnal (as long as they don’t look any more than guys normall would), an erection does impede the flow of urine. Not all guys have to be close to orgasm, before the urine path shuts off.Pissing in the shower? That sounds weird. I wouldn’t want to stand barefoot in somebody else’s urine, although I prefer to use urnals, which sometimes have that poor aim puddle around them that I try to avoid standing in even when wearing shoes.What I consider a cool place to pee, is into the ocean or a lake. The water is so vast, it doesn’t make any difference. You just pull your dick out of your swimming trunks, and let the urine flow under the water where nobody knows, just like the fish and dolphins must do. Then you don’t have to go for miles to find a toilet. Every shower always has a toilet or urnal close by.Pajamas? I think I stopped wearing them around puberty, and just wore either nothing, or now more just underwear to bed.Yeah, going early to the bathroom, might seem a good strategy for a while, but do you really think that nobody else awakes to boners that won’t go down, or doesn’t sometimes have to pee during the middle of the night? With that many guys there, I wouldn’t expect to have a common bathroom alone for long. And unless you are doing athletics or are prone to body odor, you probably can get by without a shower every single day.I consider spontaneous boners “normal,” because like who doesn’t sometimes get them? It’s part of what a normal healthy penis sometimes does. The term “boner,” I think speaks of embarrassment, as it doesn’t refer to sex, but to one’s penis unintentionally getting so hard that it shows as hard, and feels like a “bone” has slid into it. It isn’t going to explode or anything, but has so much blood pressure that it becomes stiff and inflexible, ready for sex. The heart even speeds up some, to prepare for sexual activity, should it be able to occur, and to increase the blood pressure I think. Most people that I have ever seen get boners, weren’t perverts, nor seemed to want any inappropriate attention, so I just ignore or overlook them like they are no big deal, since I think that is what the poor guy with the boner would expect. Most people with hard-ons don’t seem to want any attention, nor appear threatening in any way, so best to just leave them alone since it was probably unintentional. Go on like everything’s normal. It soon passes and goes away, or one finishes their shower and puts on clothes. I think most guys know it could have been them themselves with the erection on some other day, so most guys probably wouldn’t think much of it or say anything? Of course I tried to suppress my erections, but I much rather be seen with a normal boner, than hide in bed all day, or wet the bed, or anything like that. I am not ashamed to have a good-sized penis that apparently works, but wouldn’t want to be thought a pervert, nor have some gay pervert hitting on me. For somebody to say that so-and-so has a boner, would likely suggest a response, “So so-and-so has a dick. So what? Dicks sometimes get hard. It’s life. Nothing new. Why are you looking at it for?”When I was young, I got boners in class. Yeah, math isn’t exciting, but classes can seem long, boring, and go on day after day, so eventually the day one’s penis feels like getting hard, just happens to coincide with that time in class. You feel that twinge and feel it starting to grow, and it just won’t stop. Too much sperm in the testacles, too much “raging hormones,” or just too long a day? My penis quickly blew up to a 7” log protruding down my pants and would sometimes even ooze a little pre-cum. People didn’t seem to notice, but I think a few guys must have noticed at some time and not said anything then, because some guy asked me some other day how long my penis gets when hard (as those mental calculations based on a huge bulge can be a challenge I imagine), and somebody once left a condom on my desk some days later, which I gave to the teacher because I of course would have no use for it. I should have thrown it away, as I don’t believe humans were designed to use anti-life “birth control.” On a couple of other occasions when I noticed some other guy with an erection in class, nobody else seemed to notice, or didn’t say anything, or appear to care. It was unmistakably an erection, because it wasn’t just a steady hollow pucker in his pants, but was pulsing and rising up and straining against his pants, like an uncontrollable hard-on would do. And I guess nobody wants to be caught looking, so staring is rude. I don’t want the guy to get all flustered and leave, but am curious whether he might get even harder? So let him think nobody has noticed. Let the poor guy be. It’s not something in need of any dumb pill to fix or reduce sexual urges, but people can just learn some self-control, as they get older, and be aware of how teenagers often have those “raging hormones.” I think in the old days, guys spent more time outside, and could just disappear. Now the human population is a lot bigger, and we coup all these people in work cubicles or in classes all day. And puberty = boners from new powerful reproductive feelings that aren’t always easy to control. It doesn’t mean that guys want to have sex or don’t want to remain virgins until marriage, but more like the penis sort of has a “mind of its own” that will take a few years to get control of again, after puberty. Boners perhaps are a little more noticable, because the world is populating itself closer and closer together, and humans have such a powerful reproductive drive that we have grown into the billions. That is all a very good thing, and more and more people would be glad to live. People should be encouraged to have big families or “all the children God gives.” People should avoid using “preventative measures” to not limit the natural growth of families, or the births of precious children who also would much want to live too. But I also suspect that the reason that old traditions like guys skinny-dipping in the river seems to have faded away, is not really due to the increasing population, but more like our preference for clean, sanitized, co-ed swimming pools, and that we cluster such that there are more people around now, in the places where people may swim. The world is less rural, becoming more urbanized and new housing subdivisions often have swimming pools, not the old rural and dirty swimming holes. And humans for some reason, seem to have become more shy, about a little proper public nudity in expected places like communal showers, lockerrooms, or just some young guys out for a swim. Perhaps people are more sheltered, growing up these days, or that perversion is somehow supposedly more acceptable these days, makes people more nervous about sexual matters.Well these days, I have my own bathroom, so it wouldn’t much be an issue to me anyways. And I don’t get spontaneous erections at inappropriate times near as easily as I used to. But I get morning wood and nighttime erections all the time. And they are a sign of being healthy and in working order. I heard years ago that smoking depresses normal nighttime erections. Good thing I don’t smoke those nasty cancer sticks. Wouldn’t want to be any less healthy down there. Just got to let penises be hard sometimes, especially at night when few people (other than one’s spouse) can see. One of the great purposes for people, is to make more human life. The world’s burgeoning billions should of course be encouraged to breed, and humanity’s large and growing numbers be welcome to expand naturally worldwide.
