Erections in public

[Male Bonding etc]

The comment about not making a habit of it has some merit, though.

People start regularly seeing you in that condition and it is going to reflect in their impression of your stability. The "ewww" factor comes into play the less conventionally attractive you are and older you get. In other words, you'll probably get some of it or some of the "OMG, can you believe..." if you are young, built and good looking, but if you are only one or two (or heaven forbid none) of the above, people will more likely start thinking of you as disgusting.

I like as many people as possible to see my bulge, and I dress in tracksuits and jeans that emphasise it. Before walking around in the town centre or mall I'll give it a quick rub so it's semi-hard. Sometimes on trains, if I see a lady I like I will pop off to the lavatory and masturbate to full erection, then dress and return to a seat that allows her to see it straining to get out. I love the saucy comments I sometimes get! And I quite like it when some women are obviously amazed and are with men who are obviously jealous.

i am waiting for that to happen :tongue:

i started to showing my bulge off recently, and i really like when women look, although we haven't got many women in holland that seem to be interested in bulge looking but i often see women looking at my bulge and is quite satisfying.

a few things - I have been escorted OUT of a dept. store when I was showing an erection. The law is on their side here. I was minding my own business.

In public, it might be considered obscene - maybe someone can step beyond the glazed eyes from staring at the Gallery and tell us if they have been spoken to by the law when showing an erection.
True, you would have to be very large - but judging from all the hype - 3/4 of the site is over 9 inches.

is it really such a problem??? I wonder why?... could anybody tell me the real reason why it's such a big problem

Yeah I love wearing my skin tight faded jeans with my cock and balls running down my right leg creating a large bulge. My jeans are so tight and I don't wear underwear so my head and even the large veins are visible. Sometimes I'll wear my white spandex shorts and have walked around in stores with a full 9 x 6 erection that is very noticable. These days I usually wear tight low rise hip huggers and a "sock" ( a jock with no leg straps) that keeps my baseball sized bulge up front so it's not as "obscene". My girlfriend calls them my girl jeans. I get all of the gay attention but that's to be expected I guess. In fact I love wearing a bikini at the beach and keeping the freedom alive for guys. There's no way I'm wearing big assed clown shorts at the beach when chicks can walk around with their ass hanging out. I lifts weights and have abs, etc. so I look pretty good.

 

[tanhardbod]

Never been escorted from a store but I did most of my "streaking", as I called it, years ago before there were cameras everywhere. Even then I wouldn't loiter for too long as no telling when someone could report you. I don't get the comments about people being able to see my bulge in my bikini to which I reply that as a man I have the required equipment so why the surprise? Many people in the US are very prudish and I think scared of a mans penis in general while exploiting the female form to the nth degree. It's a crazy double standard.

A hard dick in public is taboo for most Americans. Many people are prudish and afraid of sex. When I was in college at SDSU, I saw guys walking to class with boners every now and then. I always enjoyed it. I got a few myself and never cared about it. There are factors that can make walking around with a woody okay in some places and awkward in others. As toobig4u wrote, he was escorted out of a department store. I'm curious how upscale the department store was where he was shopping. I could see snooty people at Macy's, Nordstrom's, or Bloomingdale's getting uptight over a patron with a boner, but not so much at Wal Mart, Home Depot, or Target. What he was wearing, and how obvious his erection was could have been part of it. On the beach, I see guys with semis frequently. I'll see an occasional boner swinging in board shorts or mesh shorts, too. Nobody seems to care because it's the beach. I agree with Gamel - if it just happens naturally and the guy isn't deliberately trying to be obscene, what's the big deal?

It is funny that I read this thread today. I am in Athens and was catching a tram into town. this kid probably about 12 years old comes walking up from the beach in loose blue shorts on. His dick was totally hard, tenting out about 5". He walks over and purchases his ticket then sits down and waits for the tram to come. A couple of times he kinda swats the thing, i guess hoping it would somehow go down on its own. When the tram came, he gets on still with a rock hard boner tenting his shorts. No one seemed to care, but most people did notice. I kinda felt sorry for him. He obviously had no control over the situation. Just the hormones of youth.

 

[toobig4u]

just wanted to clarify what I said guys - and it was in Macy's - you have some up tight people, and then you have the whole "store security" thing. Stores do not have to respect your public rights in the US, since they are not bound by the US Constitution. That was one of my experiences. I was wearing jeans, and the shaft and head were obvious. Yes, I like to show off, and that was about it. I did not have to disrobe, etc, they just asked me to leave.
Of course, I do not have to buy anything there.

This I have to hear. Please provide details?

 

[LeeEJ]

j... and then you have the whole "store security" thing.

Maybe they thought you were trying to steal a wrench. :wink: Then again, it wasn't Sears (they sell wrenches, but Macy's doesn't), and if that's what they really thought, they should've fished around in your pants for it.

Man, that's sad, though. What did you do, poke someone with it? Flop it on a checkout counter? Use it to flip through a rack of clothes? :biggrin1:

I'm surprised at the guys (and gals?) on this thread who are using the "double standard" excuse to justify their showing of their erections (albeit clothed) in public. The argument that a woman can wear skimpy clothes to highlight her breast in public, while guys are not supposed to show off their dicks in public, is a ridiculous one.

In the province of ONTARIO, in Canada, women won the right to go topless anywhere men were allowed to go topless...which is essentially ANYWHERE!

They won the right because it was successfully argued in court that a woman's breasts are not inherently sexual in nature...that their primary purpose is to nourish their chioldren...therefore, naked breasts are not "dirty" and can be exposed in public.

Now penises and vaginas have two primary functions...one of them is definitely sexual in nature. I think it is alright for society to say (through laws) that they should not be displayed in public (except at nudist camps or nude beach).

Having said that...I do believe it is okay for a man to display a clothed bulge or even an erection in public...just like it's okay for a woman to display a "cameltoe" if she wishes. Heck...I have to believe it's okay, because I do it all the time. But I'm very discreet about it. I only do it in gay bars...or on public transit and even then, I make sure that it's a "private show" for someone I either want to pick up or to give a little (big) thrill to.

I think that is pretty darned funny - I guess one day, if I wanted to end it all, you could just poke the wrong person with it in public. And, yes, I know Macy's does not sell wrenches. Wonder what Sears would do? I think if I was going to get frisked, I would rather it be the blond chick in NM.

I only wear underwear at work, the rest of the time not. As some people mentioned above, it's a personal preference, and if a person wants to stare, they will. I normally get a boner when sitting on a train, or a plane, and you start to day-dream, thinking of nothing in particular(that's BS of course. Invariably, you'l be thinking of pussy,cock or tits). By the time you realise it, it's basically too late to do anything about it, and adjusting it to make it less obvious is just going to draw more attention to it(especialy sitting on planes, centre seat) Of course, now that you start conciously thinking about it, it gets harder and more obvious. Now comes the battle of getting it down...what the hell, it happens to everyone I gues. That's where those boring in-flight magazines come(?) into their own-it's actualy to cover your cock growing down your leg. Why worry about it?

 

[Kenyth]

LOL I second that. Im from Auckland too. I don't think we really care in NZ unless you are flopping it out and spinning it around like a helicopter.

Theres this guy who used to walk up ponsonby road with a raging hard on all the time, was that you scottbud? LOL

I think those people that get shitty should be shown up-close that it is not hard, then they can feel inadequit. Shove it in their face and ask them if they could hide it. Watch them sink back in their seat. lol Just all move to Auckland New Zealand we all love seeing cock out loose move here and run free.

 

[matticus201]

Cool guys, glad to hear that others enjoy the same freedom.

Totally agree, it's not offensive, as long as you're not being offensive with it. Just doing my own thing, if others choose to look, that's up to them...

It is interesting though that this type of thing can still stur up some 'heat' from others, and also interesting that guys still need to try and 'cover up' something that's pretty natural and happens all the time.

I remember seeing some 'JackAss' skit, with the guy doing everyday tasks with a hard-core boner, and seeing peoples reactions - it definetly made some people quite uncomfortable, while others just didn't seem to care.

I wonder, is the negative reaction due to the 'potential' an erection implies, like some kind of 'penatration weapon', or is it more relating to the individual who is apparently experiencing some 'un-shared' enjoyment...

Anyway, glad to see other guys are similarly relaxed and willing to enjoy their freedom without shame.

Hear hear. I've wanted to do a scholarly study on this for years. If you go all the way back to the greek civilization, they used herms, statues of giant erect phaluses, to ward off evil spirits. In the practice of pederasty, the penetrative partner was always viewed as effeminate and made fun of, and in vase art depicting the degredation of barbarians and other enemies, the virile greeks are always depicted penetrating the ass of the enemy with a giant raging hard on. If you ask me, these beliefs endure all the way to the present day. I think the presence of another penis is threatening to other men, simply because of the fear of penetration. Of course, there is no way to directly link present day cultural dogma to the beliefs of the ancient greeks, I can't help but think that in some way that cultural idea is definately at the root of this "double standard."

I'd call the book "All About Dick." What do you think? lol...

 

[B_Guy Love]

You shouldnt make a habit of it, unless you wanna get spoke to by the right authorities dude. The habit will be a route (an intentional one from what it sounds like).

Is it illegal to have an erection in public where you live? That sounds so bizarre.

My ex boyfriend used to do this. Its amazing how many women would just stare at his bulge......they never said anything but it was a turn on just watching their reactions.

The late James Brown (rip) sang "It is a man's world" ..but you must hide the fact that you have a penis? crap....It's 2007 everyone know males have penises. be proud and not pervy. Society would never ask a woman to bind her breast because they are too noticeable. i only freeball always and everywhere. i just look away if someone looks too much. If god created man, in his image, then be proud of your "holy" penis.(big,small,hard or soft) .One day you will not have to worry about it. till then be proud of what you have.

 

[Dazza]

I suspect the issue that people have is that a bulge per se is ok. Whats not ok is show a cock thats in an obvious state of arousal. People can get offended by this (not surprisingly) and can find it threatening.
I think showing a prominent bulge cos you have a big cock or because you position is in a certain way seems acceptable.
Womens boobs are on display all the time but this is not deemed offensive as they are not in a state of sexual arousal. Interestingly if their nipples are showing both men and women find it quite distracting (I know I do!). Offensive though? I don't think so.
Of course women can be sexually aroused and not show any visible signs unlike men.
