Erect At The Gym

[EL_Duderino]

lol i've had some serious wood while using the eliptical at the gym but luckily i was wearing gym shorts with sweats over them and my shorts kind of kept it pointed down wiht my leg. im sure if someone looked they could tell but i don't think it was drawing attention. at least i hope it wasn't. =) sometimes the woman at the gym are so hot it's hard to not notice.

Ocassionally I will sport a hard on, usually a semi hard on, a few times it has happened while sitting naked in the sauna...

yup. me too. my club just went to privacy shower stalls with curtains. bummer.

I've had to leave the gym before my workout was done due to a hard-on that would not go away, and I try and think of a million things to make it go down, but then one more hot girl walks by in those tight workout pants... killer ass, maybe even some cameltoe, and most usually have their big tits bouncing around...how is a guy supposed to concentrate.. LOL

Have you tried a very tight athletic supporter? That should keep things under control while working out. You can either strap it in the downward position or in the upward position depending on which works better for you. Either way, it would keep things from being noticed. Of course, that wouldn't solve the problem in the shower.

I find it a little weird that he would always get a errection when entering the locker room, its def not random. Cold Water Works well.

Well if the sharp knife approach wasnt for you, then stop showering at the gym, go home & shower. All through hs i played sports, now live in dorms with communal bathrooms & as a result have been exposed to a lot of male nudity (yuck) not once, not ever did I see a dude get a hard on. I mean why would that happen unless you are aroused? To say its natural is bogus, yeah sure at night or from time to time or for sex, but if your there to work out then it shouldnt matter, I suppose it could happen, but if you feel it coming on,,,leave, wrap a towel around yourself, come on what are you 5 years old?

Trying to remember all the words to Don Maclean's "American Pie" works for me, except now when I hear the song I get a boner. Go figure.

It's probably because of the beginning... he says "A long, long, time ago... " :smile:

Yup, that would do it. Besides, quite many songs can be strangely sensual somehow. Perhaps it could be the rhythm sometimes, almost like the rhymatic motions of natural sexual intercourse, even if in a subtle sort of way.

It doesn't take much, to arouse a human penis, especially with young guys with those "raging hormones" of puberty.

And there's a lot of sex in much of the music. I even recall some old song I have somewhere on some cassette, about a guy who had a house full of kids. Gee, I wonder what makes so many babies? Sex is all around us, almost.

you apparently aren't afflicted with the malady of popping hard-ons whenever the wind blows and when it doesn't blow.

that usually happens to me whenever I do a cycle; at least for the first two weeks. And it doesn't even have to be a strong breeze.....

Hey guys i just wanted to ask if it was wrong to get erect while showering in a communal shower with other guys cause everyone keeps eye balling me when that happens How can i get rid of it?

I have seen it happen to other from time to time at the gym. Just ignore it and move on. It happens and nothing to stress over it. Just do not make an issue out of it or show it off to everybody

Luckily the showers in our gym have partitions between them but they are still open for anyone going past but the odd time I have grown a stiffy which is difficult to hide so I just try to get it out of my mind and eventually it goes. A few times I've walked out to pick up my towel with it sticking straight out.

Last year I went to the East Coast USA for work and I went to the local gym with one of my friends. This time I did pop a boner and the showers were all along a wall. There were three other men there showering and I could feel them looking, I felt really embarassed. I don't think it's normal to stand around swinging it or parading around for others to see if it is hard. Sometimes you can't help it, I just wish I could control it so it doesn't happen in this situation.

It's not "normal," but it's not unheard of, either. Many of us feel a LOT of embarrassment if we get a stiffie in the gym shower like that!

Our cocks are out of our concious control, and other men know that, 'cause the same damn thing could happen to them, too. Which is why, even if we are embarrassed, it might be helpful to know that other guys are probably not shocked or offended; my guess is they're thinking:

• that could have been me today, thank God it's not
• I want to look at that guy's boner but I know I shouldn't
• am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?
• I wonder why that guy's cock is hard?
• how should I act? I have to be cool about this

Plus, I think boners can be like yawning. When one person starts, sometimes you join in, too. There were times when I got boned up in the shower that other guys then popped their own wood.

I've mentioned other times that, when I went to a new gym, I usually got hard in the shower the first time or two I used it. So I'm not surprised that you boned up in a new gym here in the states.

randomn boners: when you want them, they be gone. When you don't want them, they apear.
so....what you you want? Are you showing, or are you hiding?
good luck on your journey.

I bet it has to do with early on. Like when we were kids most of us would jack off in the shower cuase it was a private place at home, had a background noise and when you came it just went down the drain, no evidence. It was not only a relaxing shower, but a relaxing j/o. So after a while people begin to associate the two together, ie, hearing a shower and getting ready to j/o. I bet some people are just wired for it and it can be hard, pun intended, to throw all that aside for a shower out of the ordinary schedule.

If you are going to arrest me over having a boner at the gym, you will have to bring the proper authorities--THE ERECTION POLICE.

Gee .... if you're invisible, how are we going to tell if you have a boner at the gym? Come up and touch us with it? :wink::biggrin1:

I'm a longtime gym rat, and have probably used communal showers at least 2,000 times. And I could count on one hand the number of guys I've seen in locker rooms or gym showers with full-on erections (as opposed to semis, which are MUCH more common).

I think how a guy behaves when erect in such a setting determines how uncomfortable it might make other people. If you are erect and either a) stroking your dick or b) leering intently at others, this would probably make a lot of guys uncomfortable. When I see a guy with an erection doing either of these things, I get out of there ASAP.

But if you are more or less keeping to yourself and keeping your hands off yourself, then I think others will recognize that it's just a random boner, which happens to all of us sometimes.

This is generally my experience as well. There is a big difference between a guy with an untimely erection who is trying to be discreet about it vs. the guy who gets it intentionally and/or is parading around showing it off. I have no problem with exhibitionists, but there are places for that kind of thing, and the local gym lockeroom isn't one of them.

i remember being 11 or so and getting really envious about the 15-16 year olds at our school (naked bathing) who were running around doing the boner and towel slap routine, it made me really self-conscious about never getting a proper big prick until I discovered I could give a girlfriend a good time about 7 years later. I prefer gyms with no separate cubicles or curtains anyway, but I'm really shortsighted so can't see anyone, though I think I would notice if there was a sticky-out blur attached to someone's belly. Hm, rather like pixellated Japanese porn videas???? I've only ever seen three guys in gyms with stiffies, one years ago in the local YMCA sauna when I was a teenager and I was going through a real homoerotic phase but was too embarrassed to ask him whether I could try it out; another a local footballer, and I put that down to general excitability and drive, as well as maybe a bit of show-off, and the third an ordinary guy who was towelling himself - the last two were the changing rooms of gyms with separate cubicles for showering. In all cases I think I should have said 'that's a nice one' or 'enjoying yourself' if I'd had my wits about me and there had been time. But mostly people are reticent and turn their backs. I'm quite happy to soap someone up if they can't reach whatever partof themselves - to me it's a friendly thing to do if offered the opportunity, but I guess it also counts as assault in our era.
Anyway, main point - enjoy a boner, don't let it embarrass, don't flaunt it unless you're in one of 'those' gyms or saunas - and if you do, just enjoy whatever follows. All in all bring back mixed nude bathing, I say

I was at the gym yesterday and the guy across from me in the shower started to get hard. He put his hand over his dick to try and hide it. But I think having his hand over his dick just made it worse because it just got rock hard. He had a pretty big dick and there was no way his hands could hide his hard on. Finally he gave up and just ignored it.
