Hard On In The Gym Shower

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?

I agree with posters who note hard ons in open showers are not acceptable -- when brought on or encouraged in purpose. I think you managed the situation well.

First, like others said, I would try to bring it down by retraining your thoughts AND giving it time. If you can face wall or keep turned away from others in there, take your time see if it wilts.

Nobody is likely to say anything about your condition (most will sympathize and understand) and you should not say anything to explain. This does happen; not a major crisis.

If your member declines to simmer down you head for the towel in a relaxed manner and cover up.

If I saw a dude in showers w a stiff one I would think "bad timing, poor guy" even if kept on w his shower. If I saw him walking across the locker room with a hard penis with a towel over his shoulder I'd think he confused the gym w a gay bathhouse and he's being inappropriate.

Most guys fear this problem but then in the situation it does not happen. You report a recurrence of the problem, and now that you are worried about it, and it does happen, it will likely keep happening for awhile. Just keep showering, take prudent steps like picking corner shower heads and proximity to shower hooks and eventually (applying some good advice of others here) it will stop.

You may want to masturbate before heading to gym. Works for some guys.

Also, in your situation where the cock is reacting to naked stimulus -- that is to say you get naked and under hot water and he rises to attention reflexively and repeatedly, you may want to try something like this:

Watch great porn that gets you very hard right before you go to gym without masturbating. The porn gets the dick up and identifies obvious sexual stimulus. This puts in perspective what you will experience in the showers as "not that" .

I know a man who reported that if he masturbated to completion or even had sex, the dick down effect of that lasted only a short time. But with the porn no masturbation technique he was ironically very horned but good to keep soft in showers. He actually reported ultimately just listening to familiar porn on his smart phone as he biked to the gym! He gets off bike hard, pulls out earbuds and by the time he gets into the locker room to stow his backpack he says he's soft and stays that way through his workout and then his shower after. He may be only person on earth this works for, but it makes sense to me.

Time alone and trying nothing other than going regularly to gym should solve the problem. Be patient.

Never been lucky enough to see a straight guy with a full (or even a semi) hard on in a German sauna but do the ones who don' rush to hide it actually walk around and show off, or they are just more relaxed about finding their towels and covering up? As you say it's all about attitude, if you act as though its perfectly normal - which it is - then so should everyone else

A good place to see what is being discussed is just outside of Frankfurt.

If there are other men in the showers, I don't usually have an hard on, as I feel the pressure of being conformant and I am short sighted so without glasses it's difficult to see others' bodies. But I've had hardons when I was alone.

This happens not only because the context is less or more sexual, the water and the stimulation on the dick is pleasant, but also because doing exercises, especially for legs, changes your hormones in the blood and the dick is extremely sensible to this.

There is a man in the gym that I would say he has semis when he does bench press, he is at around 1.3-1.5x of his body weight so with a good muscle body and his reaction is understandable.

You should have responded, “you don’t need to hide it from me. I think is looks great”.

I know,,, hindsight sucks!

I actually asked him outside if he'd like to mess around someone, but he declined. Said he was saving it for later...haha

You had a memorable encounter and who knows where it might lead. Fortune has a funny way of working with people you meet like this.

The next time you meet be ready to ask him (at a discrete moment) if he is still saving it.

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.

Really? Did you bother to notice that the OP, and the next 3 immediate posts were by non-Americans? With others joining in?

Grow up.

I belong to Sport and health. Tried out a new location outside of DC 2 days ago. Very nice place, with an excellent locker room, shower stalls with curtains, dry and steam saunas and whirlpool. Used the shower and visited the dry sauna. I was naked in the sauna, sitting on my towel, and within 5 minutes in walked a light-skin black guy. He sat down on his towel opposite me with his legs spread, unveiling a large uncut cock between his legs. No attempt to cover himself. I was already semi-hard, as I had been gently stroking myself while alone in the sauna. He looked at me and slowly touched his cock, and pulled on it slightly. I did the same thing while looking right at him.....and he immediately started stroking his cock. In minutes, we were both hard as rocks and stroking together. All I said to him was, "That's a beautiful cock." to which he replied, "So is yours." We nearly came at the same time, and both left shortly after....nice......

thats so cool

I remember when I was a kid, I went to the pool and I was in the communal showers with my swimsuit on and this much older man was in there with a full on hard on not even caring. It was weird but this was the first time I saw an adult dick so I was intrigued lol.

But seriously don't stroke it and you should be fine.

 

[Christophzurich]

Well i usually get hard in school shower, but other boys too. But not in sauna because its too hot.

I too remember a mix of both fear and excitement, not in the military but in wrestling we have skin checks and weigh in before every match, so like 50 times a season sometimes and everyday at practice with just your teammates. Those matches though could be from 28 guys to over a 100. You could weigh naked, wearing just a jockstrap, or very lite underwear. In m younger days I thought putting on a jockstrap made you into an immediate stud so that was my choice most of the time as well as my closer friend teammates and many others too. It was actually suprising how many guys would weigh in underwear or a jockstrap then take it off and weight again, like each time they wanted to know how much their jockstrap weighed or something. It became just the norm and lost both the fear and excitement. I think we changed up what we wore just to make it exciting or draw attention to ourselves sometimes. Hell, we had good bodies and a dick whats not to want to be seen, or at least that was out thinking at times.
Erections were rare but they did happen, I don't remember it being a big deal ever though.

same for in Wrestling, but we are usually nude

As a kid i had similar experience, but it was all the guys in 6th-7th grade PE who had started puberty got hard all the time

If that's a boner, then I've been erect in the gym shower more times than I thought.

I don't consider it an erection unless its sticking straight out.

 

[Sailingbear]

Same here, that is how mine hangs most the time u less it is cold, then it draws up a bit more.

I think I posted someplace on here already. I did it intentionally once just to have experienced it. I was chicken and went during off peak hours having popped a cialis that morning. It wasn't that crowded and I feel like it wasn't noticed but I walked across the locker room into the shower at full mast. Took it a good while to go down but I wasn't going to risk jerking it to get it some relief.

Ha! He's hard. He's straight coming off his balls. There's zero curve or slump in his dick at all. That's the diff imo between chubbed and hard. It's not a raging erection, but he's hard.
