Don't be "chicken." Be proud and enjoy being hard. Who cares what others may think? Why are they looking at your cock anyway? Someone has a hard on--so what? Men get hard ons....and most often they feel very nice....so enjoy.

And if you catch them looking say something like it looks different when it's in your mouth
I had previously opined that a hard on in the gym showers is not acceptable, and you should take evasive action. Nothing crazy -- but looking at wall, or heading for towel.
I have changed my mind. I think you should definitely not flaunt it, but you should just proceed as normal. I think that mental construct (i.e. I am not going to react) may even help it end on its own.
In recent weeks after decades of seeing hardly no shower erections, I have showered several times at the same time with a guy who when he takes off his swim trunks in the open shower -- he gets totally hard. In a few minutes he is then totally soft. The owner of that dick just goes about his business, and his behavior regarding his own condition (nothing) sends a clear signal he is having an automatic response (trunks down, dick up) and he's not lusting over his shower mates.
Even if his dick did not deflate, I think his behavior is proper. Contrast if he squeezed up against the wall and / or cupped his hands over his groin and ran for his towel, it woukd create a vibe that would implicate him as a creep.
As it is, he is not identified as a creep but as that guy who gets hard when pulls down his trunks. He makes normal conversation with his mates, he's relaxed, and nobody has been offended as best I can tell.
That's a very good point. I tend to be a bit evasive and face the wall, but going about your business and making conversation is legitimate. It rarely happens with me, but in a small shower area with some cute guys I got hard again the other day.

Your shower buddy whom gets an erection when he drops his trunks is just responding to his animal behaviour, as you say, trunks down, dick up and wow, enjoy that freedom and hey cock, is it fuck time...
I get the same cock reaction whenever I go to a nude beach or event, once my briefs come off and I'm butt naked up rises my cock - nothing to do with the naked flesh but just one of those things, and soon droops down to floppy dick head.
Did think what to do and should I cover or whatever which just made it worse, once I stopped thinking about my boner it just went down to limp.

1. It's a gym. If you're like I am I do a full body workout 5-6 mornings a week. My muscle are screaming by the time I head to the locker room. I'm usually panting when I enter the locker room and start undressing as soon as I get it the door. Ask I want to do is get my towel and washcloth, soap toothbrush, toothpaste and razor. Because I wash shave and brush my teeth while I'm in the shower. I walk naked to the shower hang up my towel and get under the hot water.
2. Testosterone is increased with exercise. Every guy has a dick and hard ons are inevitable. I usually get multiple hard ons throughout the day. Occasionally I will get a raging boner while in the shower. I just keep washing. It eventually goes down to a very slight semi. It's a normal function of every male. Sure there've been times I wanted just to wank one out but that's not the place to do it. Sometimes the same guys will be around when I step out of the shower and they are always looking at my dick. Go figure. They don't just stand there they keep moving but they're getting a free shot I guess. I'm comfortable in my own skin and being naked in the locker room coming out of the shower is normal.
3. Dicks have a mind of their own. I've learned that it's normal a go on about my business. I'm not there for a hook up in there for me. So just accept that erections are a sign of a normal health man, and be glad you get them. Some guys can't.

Thats pretty much what happens to me normally. When i take my trunks off i go semi and sometimes fully erect, i take a shower as normal and fairly quickly it normally just goes down again, just natural.
gotta say i hate bein in the gym shower and all the guys crusin - like 2 wash up and leave hookin up can be done elsewhere
Sorry about sounding like a dinosaur, but this thread brings back memories from my army medic experience of nearly 50 years ago.
I did a 5 week assignment, at a Missouri Army training base, assigned to a special remedial physical fitness company, for non standard draftees. In order to enhance conscription numbers, Selective Service waived height, weight and fitness standards for Army draftees. Overweight conscripts were sent to a similar program at a Louisiana Army base, and we received the classical 90 lb. weaklings in Missouri. Many of these kids were physically too weak to carry their duffle bags from uniform issue to their barracks without help, so the Army cycled them through a 30 day intense physical training program, prior to assignment to a basic training company. The Army lingo for the program was Operation Runts into Grunts, since most of them would end up assigned to Infantry.
Without boring you with details, the recruits did PT, all day, 6 days a week with usually one weekly all night sand bag weighted ruck march. They were pushed to their limits, and required Medics to monitor their condition, and scrape them up off of the grinder when they collapsed from heat or exhaustion. In the period I was there, they wore PT Alpha ( gym shoes, tee shirts, jocks and shorts), but shortly thereafter these companies converted to BDU's and Boots, just like all other trainees.
For what it is worth, the Army issued them small size BUB jockstraps. These were serious jocks, stayed in place and tightly held the man parts all day.
About 17:00 hours each day, when dismissed the recruits gladly returned to the barracks, threw their sweaty PT gear in the laundry bin, and looked forward to their showers. My partner and I were also glad to get out of our BDU's and join them in the shower, as we typically had a good workout walking or stretchering the trainees to the recovery tent when they went down. Additionally, we had to weigh each recruit, and record vital signs 30 minutes after they stopped PT so needed to be near the shower room.
Well, hard-ons happened. Certainly nothing relating to sexual horseplay, but it seemed like every few days a recruit would display a serious erection in the shower, and like clockwork it would have a contagious affect, others would follow. I'd never seen anything like it but it made for a crazy sight to see a half dozen poles, ranging from 3" to probably 10" pointing straight out or even skywards. My guess is that these hard-ons may have been caused by nothing else than their dicks deciding to stretch out a bit, having been constrained by tight jockstraps all day.
Once, the PTI (physical training instructor) walked by the shower and went ballistic about the erections. He told them men that if they had enough energy to exercise their dick muscles, they certainly had enough energy for more PT. He gave them two minutes to get out of the shower, grab PT clothes out of the laundry bin, ANY ONES CLOTHES, and be formed up in front of the barracks for a run back to the drill field for more PT. I don't recall specifically, but I doubt that any of them sprouted hard-ons when they showered down after the bonus PT session. This only occurred once during my 5 week assignment, but still was memorable.

To that previous point, my gym here in Los Angeles is not a cruising gym at all...it's on the higher end and it's fairly no nonsense. With that said, I can't help but notice the length many of the younger guys go to to keep from ever exposing anything. We're talking towels over underwear and changing with almost painful caution. I don't know if I'm being weird or they are? It speaks to the previous point of concealment. The harder you try and "hide" something, naturally, the more attention you draw. Its mostly the 20 somethings, but it's 180 degrees from most of the stories I've read in this thread. I can't really put my finger on it, but it's interesting as hell. BTW: I'm not some letch ogling in the corner waiting to pounce, I handle myself totally appropriately and do my workout, shower and leave, but I do notice this and it kinda fascinates me. Any thoughts?

The reason you've seen other men hard taking pisses in rest rooms is that they were cruising for sex.
Probably yes. Hard ons in such circumstances are suspect but should be considered in light of all other behavior.
Let's be honest...it sometimes seems that's the ONLY thing that happens in them. After all, it is one of the primordial gay cruising spots. To quote (and bastardize scripture) - "For wherever there is penis roaming free, so there you will find me."
Sorry for your pain but that's never gonna change. Just curious, where do you hook up/meet other dudes?
