Do men really normally have lots of opportunities to compare erections?

No, very rare to see another man's erection in a non-sexual situation. Saunas, showers and nudist beaches are the only places where this can have happened to me, and the few I have seen have not been where I have been erect at the time.

I know this thread is old; but i could not resist a posting by the lovely O.P.

OK being a LPSG member for a few years / being online and in the same place with other thousands of other penises, I would say there was ample opportunity ; but inclination No - Nope

More of an acknowledgement, of you have a penis / I have a penis .
 
Having read these posts it reminded me of when I was younger and had a close friend with who I used to compare with. We would wank in front of each other and press both cocks up against each other to compare. Good times, I still remember how good it felt when our two hot cocks we’re pressed together. I’m straight but if the chance ever came up again I think I would have to try it

You are describing a sexual encounter, and experience with one man with whom to compare.

My question was, not including sexual encounters and pornography, do you have many opportunities to compare erections with other men?

Sorry
 
Yes. I have seen two guys erect This was in a sauna on a cruise ship. It was a men only sauna and there were three of us in there sitting on towels. Nothing happened we were just talking and both guys slowly got hard. There was no touching, I think it was just the heat in there and everyone was just so relaxed and chilled

What were there sizes?
 
2. Curious as to why you didn't want sexual encounters to count? What's your thinking there?
I can’t speak for AE, but perhaps it’s the same reasons that I’m curious about it... in my experience, women don’t exactly get many opportunities to compare genitalia or breasts in a non-sexual situation. I’m not sure the majority of us would ever actually compete in any situation, however.

So many men on here speak of comparing.... so I’ve always wondered if is it common and acceptable for heterosexual men to have erections in front of each other?
 
Since I'm unable to edit my previous post I will totally redo it here. I remembered I also omitted some information.

1. To answer your question: My first time seeing other erections was when I was masturbating with two other males. I wouldn't call that a sexual encounter with each other, we were just all three separately jacking off like it was a normal thing to do. One had a big thick dick and the other a long skinny dick. I remember noticing that the others had bigger penises than me but I don't remember feeling shamed or ashamed of not being as big. It's funny that it didn't even register to worry about that when I had quite traumatic experiences being forced to be in naked with other males with flaccid penises. I felt more shame when it was all flaccid penises that seemed so much bigger than mine. Another time time was with my best friend where we just compared one day for some reason. He had a slightly longer and thicker cock than me. I've been at a couple of pool parties where I saw two pretty large erections. Perhaps just walking around a sauna were a couple of other times.

I don’t know if I’m more surprised to see an old thread like this pop back up, or that it’s gone 15 pages.

The average straight man gets essentially no opportunities to see or compare erections, nor does he want to.

For rtg: If a guy has a boner for some reason, he’s obligated to hide it. Displaying it proudly or approaching another guy with it is a good way for him to get his ass kicked.

I am so sorry you had any kind of violation like that. Your report a feeling shame, whether or not that shame was related to the true, or the comparison, it's fairly common. I have read a lot of posts on several websites where men mostly feel ashamed about how their flaccid penis is compared to others.

Well, my primary interest was sparked by the many posts from those identifying as heterosexual who post stories about comparisons. I can't find any fucks to give about any flaccid dicks. And how someone compares to others when flaccid has no bearing on the same comparisons erect. Yet, just as you mentioned feeling shame in your flaccid experience, so many are so proud, or so ashamed of their flaccid comparisons against others. Moreover, there are often stories that sound like fiction to me about straight men knowing how they "measure up" against other men when erect. I'm testing my theory that most of those stories are pure fantasy.

However, I didn't want to be a source of silencing for our LGBT brethren, especially here. So, to truly keep it oranges to oranges, particularly if people ahare no details, I only want to count casual observations, and not sexual encounters, which most heterosexual men would not ordinarily have in the company of other men.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I apologize that I missed your question previously.

Thank you :) goes to show that so many “straight” men here have a warped view of what “normal” straight behaviour is.

The more I browse this forum, the more warped views I see. It dawned on me recently that the sub forum categories are really fetish categories.

The clothing/underwear category, for example, would presumably be full of questions about boxers bunching up or briefs being constricting. Instead, it’s “post pics of guys in jock straps”. “Let’s see some pictures of old men with their grandpa nuts hanging out of their shorts”.

Eeheem here's the little professional in comparing lol

I compared the first times in my life when my str8 buddy and i went to the private sauna of his family. Sure we got hard soon and compared very innocently our erections. His was longer and thicker and it didn't bother me at all, it was just very exciting as i got approval for mine being totally ok as well.

Later in life i had a jerk-off weekend with 3 other str8 buddies abroad. It was a fantastic 48 hours of jerking, glancing and during the whole event we also jerked off in a circle to see all our young throbbing and cum dripping cocks hehe...

Nowadays, i am still very much into comparing and search it directly by meeting guys just for this. Ok, admittedly we also jerk off haha... but comparing is key and why i meet them in the first place, the rest is a tribal necessity after the horny fun! Comparing is super hot for me - that's why i even escape my family life at times for this...

I'm confused by a few things. First, why "compare?" Usually that indicates a contest of sorts - with either the larger or smaller being the "winner." Is that the point? And who wins?

Second, someone described jerking off together as a non-sexual encounter. Are you serious? Jerking off together, no matter how you define yourself, no matter with whom you are masturbating, is by its very nature sexual. Random boner in the presence of others? Not necessarily sexual. Stroking said boner? SEX. Stroking someone else's boner...DEFINITELY sex.

Third, as such, I can't believe "straight" (quotes to emphasize category) men would ever have the opportunity to compare their erect units in a "non-sexual" atmosphere, (nor the interest). For that matter, neither would gay guys. Unless you can seriously imagine two or more guys, with boners, eruditely examining each other with medical dispassion simply because there was nothing better to do to pass the time...

"Say James, I was just lounging here groggily in a 115 degree sauna, giving my stiffy some time to air out, and apropos of nothing, but I noticed your cream pipe looks to be a smidge over 7.8 inches, is that about right? I'm kind of a savant when it comes to turgid stonker estimation. It's a hobby of mine. No homo."

"Oh ho, you scamp! You must be looking at my chubbed pud in a sideview mirror, my friend, where things are actually larger than they appear to you. My blue vein cigar is at least 8.5" if I'm a centimeter. No homo."

"Damn the luck, wouldn't you know, I left my straight-boner calipers in my other gym bag. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree."

"Hey ho fellows! There's only one way to settle this. Why don't you both scoot those sweaty meat sticks over here near me? My engorged, but totally non-sexually aroused peen is conveniently tattooed with a Department of Weights and Measures-approved scale. And as I am, as you can see, a fabled, and very GIRLFRIEND-pleasing 9.2 inches, I can easily compare your two chowder howitzers to my crotch rocket, and we can put this issue, excuse the phrase, to bed! No homo, of course!"

"Of course!"

"Jolly good!"

"Here here!"

Comparing continues for many, many minutes, with absolutely no touching or sexual subtext, yet miraculously, all three erections remain steely and proud.

"Well, I'll be damned, Tessa, my STRAIGHT girlfriend (no homo), must have used the AOL ruler on me last time. My throbber is clearly only 7.8 inches, just as you had ascertained when you were clinically staring at my uselessly-in-this-situation-hard johnson before, bro. Your powers of no-homo chode observation are uncanny indeed! However did you know?"

"Years of thoroughly non-sexual flesh-flute comparison gives one a very particular set of skills, you know?"

"Remarkable! From now on, what say, we'll call you the Shaft Whisperer!"

"I'm platonicly honored."

"Well, now that that's settled in a totally-non-sexual way, how about those Dodgers?"

"Indeed!"

Uh huh. Just get over the incredibly antediluvian idea that "this is gay," "that is gay," and whatever value judgement goes along with that. Just BE. And be happy. Compare, fondle, rub 'em together and start a fire. Nobody cares about categories anymore guys, so stop hiding behind splitting hairs (It's not sex, we're just comparing!! It's not sex, we're just jerking off!" I'm straight but I love to suck cock!") and just enjoy life.
 
Transwoman here.
Sadly I have not had the opportunity to compare. Not like a competition, but just to admire each other. It would be impossible for me to follow it up with intercourse but hey, that just makes it more fun!
Anyway I would love to look at other's penises with mine, and rub them together and smile at each other.
