Locker Rooms/Showers

---

I rarely enter the shower in the gym after working out. But when i do and there are other guys in the shower i get an erection. i am not gay but i think they may think i am. is there something i can do to prevent this. or is this normal?

Hey - I think it is s normal happening thing. If you arent used to being naked in a shower in front of other guys I think the nerves sometimes give u a boner or a semi.It has happend before to other guys and you wont be the last one it happens to. Just try and thing of other things and look striaght ahead at the wall or something. And somtimes not washing down there to avoid touching it may also work.

I am not gay but I think they may think I am. is there something I can do to prevent this. or is this normal? Then can I take it that if there was a girl in the shower, a stiffie would be OK? It's all right to be seen as straight, but shameful to be considered gay?Time to check yourself. Getting a stiffie isn't done with a switch, on or off, no more than choosing your sexual preference, girls or boys. You get a stiffie from some sort of hormonal or sexual stimulus, something that turns you on. If being in the shower where you can see other guys' dicks gives you a stiffie, you're enjoying something.Or is that an situation you're not prepared to deal with?

I think your mostly right, but not 100%Im as staright as they come and Iv had a boner in public showers before. the warm water hitting my dick, not to mention I dont take a shower at home with out some wack off action, my dick is used to being beaten in the shower, the sound of running water gives me a hard on.Having a hard on in a mens shower is normal, and it doenst mean your wanting to take it in the ass.

Exactly!Not to mention just being naked causes some guys to be hard. My BF is this way, as soon as he's naked even if it's just to shower or change clothing 9 out of 10 times he has a stiffy. Just how he's "wired".Some guys get hard because they are naked in a public setting and the exhibitionist side of this arouses them. Nothing wrong with that, IMO.

Yea I can totally concur with that. I get off just by being in the nude as well.

Maybe you liek the idea of beign in a place with others who could take a look? or something Like That.

I agree with Chance and Eddie. Sounds like maybe you're not yet entirely comfortable with being in a public shower, so you had a bit of a nervous reaction by way of a woody. And now, since that happened, you're quite nervous about it happening again...ergo more nerves and more woodies.I'm not sure what the solution for you would be. Maybe understanding what others have said: it's rather normal and doesn't make you gay and most guys there won't care. And then maybe you'll get used to being in a public shower and it'll get to the point where it's no big deal...ergo no nerves and no woodies.Maybe...

If your not gay, then you have nothing to worry about.To make it go away, think about something that turns you off, or just concentrate on your shower and it will go down.Its more common then you think. I dont think anyone actualy cares or thinks your gay.Ive seen it happen to guys before, specialy when thier wasching it.Its normal, and anyone with a penis would know that, dont worry.

you are obviouly not used to being naked in front of others. i was really shy at first and missed out from skinny dipping and doing guy things naked with friends and cusins.later on i tried to go to a nude beach and got hard, not cuz i wanted to have sex but cuz i was naked and others where watching.when it got soft i walked to the water.now that i am used to it i dont get hard even when i want to have sex with the guy next to me (yes i am gay). i only get hard when i want to get hard.i learned to control it. you will too.having sex with other guys make you gay not gettig a hard on in public.

there have been scientific studies done on arousal, and what they found is that straight men got the same level of arousal when watching gay porn as in straight porn. the brain's response and interpretation can make it send signals or arousal. i read about these studies a while back, but if you research about it, it is perfectly normal what happens to you. for example, when i have someone on my lap, or someone sitting on my lap, or whatever, it doesn't have to be a female, after a while i get hard, i guess it is because of the pressure. stuff happens.
