Hard On In The Gym Shower

[JamieB]

Well today I was working out at a new gym. So after I had my workout I took a shower. This where communal showers with no dividers or anything. Im not used to that but I also dont have a problem with that. So the shower room was empty. And there it happens, while I was having my shower I started to get hard. First just semi. I tried to distract my thoughts while turning the shower heat down. But it wasnt really helping. Then there came someone out of the steamroom, he took a shower in the corner away from me. I actually started to get fully hard. At first I though, well just wait until it comes down. But I wanted to prevent the awkward moment when the other guy would notice my boner. So I walked out of the shower room past the dark doors from the steam mroom and sauna before I could grap my towel. Luckily there was no one in the changingroom so I could quickly put some boxers on. While being almost dressed the other guy from the showerroom comes to the lockers and starts having a chat with me while being but naked. At that moment I didnt know what to think, did he notice my boner?

I dont intend to make a problem from this but what should you do? Quickly get dressed or just keep showering even when others can notice your hard on?

Probably quickly get dressed.

Probably quickly get dressed.

Yes.

Despite all the porno scenes and stories it just isn't acceptable for a man in a gym shower to display a boner. Wrap a towel around quickly. Pull on some clothes. Even stand facing the wall.

 

[Oktavius]

I disagree it's unacceptable to show a boner in the gym changing room. I'm often erect after a workout and I don't mind who sees it and I've never had any complaints from other guys in the changing room.

I mean, there's a difference between having a boner and flaunting it. Boners do happen, but even if you are/aren't an exhibitionist, it's really not cool to go around wiggling it around in front of everyone. Standing facing the wall would be fine, but stroking it and making eye contact with everyone isn't (unless that's what you're going for anyways, then gl).

 

[Heat]

If you're confronted about it, laugh it off with, "It has a mind of its own." Or whatever. If you're embarrassed about and worried it will happen again, keep your towel closer to the shower and then you'll have coverage.

 

[B.A.H]

Scrach youself and think about a great disaster. Think about a terrible memory you have. About someone who died. About the evil of this world...

And if it doesn't work just enjoy and show off... You have nothing to hide in your case

what an american thread

I get erections many times during the day and try to think nothing of them. It natural and our cocks have a mind of their own. There is really nothing you can do about it. I try not to pay any attention to them and just be thankful that I can have erections. i'm sure I will see a time when I will no longer have erections.

what an american thread

Haha, right? I hate to be condescending about America and Americans as Canadians looooove doing that to an obnoxious extent, and our country is pretty much the most USA place in the world apart from the US...but American hang-ups seem to reach some sort of critical mass in men's change rooms.

I've been in lots of public showers. I'm sure some guys get semis and the odd, unfortunate guy gets a full-on erection. Maybe it happens more than I think - I dunno. I don't make a habit of scoping out other guys' junk. The only reason I've ever noticed is because some guys tense up completely, which makes me wonder if they're okay. The behaviour of choice seems to be just facing the wall and trying not to be obvious. And I'm fine with that. And if a guy wants to take off rather than feel embarrassed, that's okay too. The way I figure, they're probably way more embarrassed than I am uncomfortable, so why make a bit deal out of it? And if it happened to me, I would appreciate it if other guys treated me the same way.

It happens. Everyone gets hard. People deal with it in different ways. Just don't flaunt it in other people's faces. Have some respect. Personally, I get really hard showering at the gym, open showers but nobody has ever said a word or giggled. Just go with it

 

[RL_Praha]

At the pool, when I feel I'm starting to get aroused, I turn to face the wall, close my eyes and think of Theresa May. Then I get on with washing and focusing on myself and ignoring those around me. This usually does the trick. A few times I've been more obviously aroused, but didn't draw attention to it. I just covered up as quickly as practical. The key thing is not to flaunt it (as discussed above) - this is totally inappropriate behaviour.

You'll find with experience this won't happen as much, it will be just part of your routine. I sometimes go to the gym for some extreme "Agoce" training. The shower area is much smaller and fewer heads. I'm barely able to walk properly after such activity, and any erotic thoughts are the furthest thing from my mind. This is probably just as well - it would be really awkward to get aroused in such close proximity to the muscular, tattooed guys I see there.

 

[hot showers]

When I was young, I found it so arousing to be naked in front of other guys that I couldn't use communal showers. I gradually acclimated myself with a series of baby steps (like using the back corner with the towel nearby, then the front corner with the towel just outside the shower room, etc.) Each step involved an inevitable period with a semi, and some occasional embarrassing more-than-semis, but as I acclimated to each step of exposure, I gradually was able to keep it under control. Now I can just strip all the way at the locker, walk naked through the locker room to the shower area and not even pick up a towel until after showering (they have them at the wet area). I still get an incredible feeling of exhilaration having my penis fully exposed with no towel or cover-up option nearby, but with years of practice, I've been able to keep it below a semi most of the time.

 

[JamieB]

Still cant hold it down. I guess it has something to do with the hot water. The water temperature is way hottter then Im used to at home, the temperature at the gym is not adjustable. It gets kind of anoying... to get hard from having a shower..

 

[meatal_head]

I've never got fully hard in an open shower, probably over half-way a few times. I really have started noticing recently just how many guys tug at their cock numerous times while showering trying to keep it flluffed, so I guess most guys have the opposite problem and don't want to be seen fully flaccid.

 

[Dave NoCal]

In 2002-2003 there was a guy at my gym who ALWAYS got an erection in the open showers. I'm not talking about a little chubbie! The guy had to be eight inches long flaccid and grew to a not very thick several inches longer. It was literally like a horse's penis and you could not miss it. My point is that this happened consistently and I never witnessed anyone commenting or acknowledging either to him or each other. No one ever mentioned it to me. He didn't give the impression of trying to show off. It just happened. That probably has a lot to do with why everyone was gracious about it.

 

[deleted1025121]

I think as long as you're not there stroking it in the shower....there isn't much you can do and probably not many will notice. Go about your shower and keep your towel close by. Odds are you wont be full-on hard erect but it'll just be some chub which will be hidden under the towel.

I also see nothing wrong if your flaccid having a conversation with someone naked if you're in an area where you're supposed to be naked (showers, sinks, steam, sauna....or even while getting dressed at the lockers). But if its obvious you're showing off....well that cool.

 

[buzzrider7]

Judging from your gallery, I'm not surprised he followed you out and started chatting.
People easily pick up on somebody's vibe, so I think it's pretty clear whether a guy is having an unintentional boner or whether he's showing off. Sounds like you made all the right choices.

While being almost dressed the other guy from the showerroom comes to the lockers and starts having a chat with me while being but naked. At that moment I didnt know what to think, did he notice my boner?

whoa, yeah, that would be one of the "awkward" moments we all dread sometimes. I would probably try to quickly bring the conversation to a close, get dressed, and bolt out of there. But, Im kinda shy about that stuff

 

[knowmore123]

I dont have experience of getting naked in gym, locker or swiming pool as i don't go these places but with me getting hard is usual in 3 to 4 times a day. Many times mine gets hard during a Piss in the Public rest room which is little awkward, even i have seen some men pissing in public rest room with their hard on dicks so i always think Is it common with all men.
