how do you handle other men with locker room erections?

[not_brand_x]

Erections happen. As long as they are going about their business as usual and not sexualizing it, I wouldn't be phased. Never seen it happen at the gym, but I'm sure it has on occasion without intention just because of the way anatomy down there works.

Testostorone pumps it happens... I get a semi on from washing mine off in the shower...... I dont think its a point and comment situation unless you wanna let the guy know youve noticed

 

[BIGBULL29]

I don't know what you're going to do about it. Can you stop from sneezing?

If he's masturbating or something, then it's lewd conduct.

Dudes watch other dudes' erections non-stop in pornos. A hard-on is a hard-on.

A lot of dudes fluff up in the locker rooms to get a little semi so they don't look small. I've seen so many times, especially with the younger crowd.

Again, I don't see the issue unless there is masturbation.

Exactly..... Although yeah a fluffed cock does intimidate that little bit more..... #guilty

it's been yrs since I was in a locker room. I saw a few guys erect, most just faced the wall. I only saw one guy who was showing it off, I guess. this was at the local YMCA. it never happened to me. I usually "carried" myself long and flaccid and I have big balls to go with my big cock. I showered with guys who I knew and didn't know. I was only approached by a gay guy once. back then it wasn't "gay", it was called "queer". I just told him I wasn't into what he was into, and he walked away I never saw any sex acts. no wanking, young men would sometimes be in the showers, kind of hanging out, and they would be checking out the hung, mature guys. they would go around the corner, and discuss... like "wow, did you see how big the guy in the corner is?" lots of curiosity.

Let's stop shaming men and the penis.

 

[chadstallion]

I wish I had the problem of seeing more of the men in the locker room with erections.

 

[hypolimnas]

i'm not talking about pervs who are staring and gawking. just normal dudes (maybe straight, bi or gay) who are showering or going about normal locker room business and happen to have a boner? (it happens).

ignore?

what if you know the dude?

still ignore?

I've been the one with the bone. I've just ignored it, and covered up as much as possible, as soon as possible. I've seen them.Guys notice. Guys generally don't want to share the fact they have checked out another guy's cock boner or not.

Commenting on someone else's personal appearance in public is never appropriate. Of course its best to say nothing if you can't say something nice.

That said, I've heard the odd "wow", "fuck" and "nice" when guys have an immediate reaction to my cock hard, or soft. It doesn't mean anything much to me. Who really cares about this stuff anyway?

I have never seen a guy with an erection in the locker room. Not saying it doesn't happen, but I haven't seen it. And if I did, I'd just ignore it. I know as a man that we sometimes get erections at the most inopportune times. It happens.

I agree with @simbablk and I as well have never seen one in the locker room

 

[raquetball1980]

It's a bit weird how being semi is totally fine and actually sought after by some people, but being fully erect in the locker room is terrifying for most guys. Just homophobia I guess, not wanting to be seen in an aroused state among other men. Too bad because I think there's a lot of anxiety surrounding it, especially for younger guys, who may forgo showering etc in public for fear of getting hard.

 

[chadstallion]

the only one I handled in the locker room was a guy who had one and sat next to me in the sauna and was pleased with the way I handled it.

 

[Oxnard]

It's natural, it's no big deal, but it's also embarrassing, so I ignore.

 

[3956]

It happens every now and then. I don't see it often at my gym and it would depend on how the guy is acting. If he is doing it to show off, jack it or something like that, it is pretty obvious. For the most part, if a guy has an unintentional hard on in the showers, he is going to try and point it away. You just ignore it and go on like it didn't happen. I know that's what I would want if I got wood in the showers.

Carry on... nothing to see here....

 

[Jjz1109]

I would treat it the same as any other guy walking around naked in the locker room. Avoid staring, and just move on about my business. If he was creepy or showing off, I'd move along even faster.

 

[meatal_head]

I don't see many, some semis and some starting on an upward trajectory and sticking too far out. Semis are so common you see what looks like it is huge flaccid and then you realize they appear to have almost no room to grow. I am small flaccid but grow quite a bit whereas I bet those other guys gains are very minimal.

I've only seen it twice in 28 years (full erections). I just ignored it. They weren't doing anything to encourage it. All guys have dicks, so we all know that erections happen at inopportune times.

Apparently, something equivalent can happen to women.

www.psychologytoday.com: Why Do Women Get Physically Aroused and Not Even Know It?

I believe there was another study showing that some women get wet from looking at landscape paintings. It's not that the paintings actually arouse them, sometimes it's just some weird physiological process. I'm sure they don't worry about it any more than we do.

First time I got Locker room raging boner I was 12 and there were so many naked guys and cock everywhere. One guy saw me but didn't see. Then my cock was quite big so it was obvious. I just got changed asap but wanked like crazy that night. Now it happens in shower a bit but no one has seen so far. I wouldn't automatically think gay if I saw a boner coz it fills up so easy when u shower

 

[Road_cyclist]

Erections happen. If a guy would get an erection and be showy about it, then it would be very creepy. If a guy would get an erection and another guy would make judgements about it it means that he is actively focussed on it and that would be equally creepy. I think it's something uncommon anyway, but...
...I get erections very easily anywhere and it has happened to me in the showers a few times as well. Don't ask why I get hard so easily, I don't have sexual feelings about my cycling buddies. I guess it's just how I'm wired. I'm glad that I work out and compete with cool guys and not with creeps. The times it happened it never turned into an issue.

Ignoring it is the only way to handle it.

Check out my post (#436) on this thread:

Are guys more comfortable naked in th locker room than they used to be? | Page 22 | LPSG

All guys (especially younger) fear getting erections in the locker room and shower. This young guy confessed his fear to me, and even told me he was about to get hard while we were naked and alone together in the sauna. I just reassured him that it was OK. Freaking out about it would have only reinforced his behaviour to stay in his swimsuit in the shower, sauna and locker room. By reassuring him that hard ons are normal, he got naked briefly. I think this is the first important step to becoming desensitized to the environment. This is why most older guys don't get hard in the locker room, sauna and open shower no matter how attracted they are to someone else naked in the vicinity-at least I don't. I may chub a little, but that's about it. I was very attracted to this guy, but didn't feel I was getting hard (I have jerked off furiously thinking about him since that encounter though). When I was this guy's age though, I would get hard the second I got naked in a locker room even if I was the only guy there. I have been using locker rooms, saunas, steam rooms and open showers for over 25 years now, so I have been naked around literally thousands of men over those years. Some of them were smoking hot, but I never got hard from it. Later on though, I would get hard thinking about them and would jerk off to it.

I guess the point of this post is that this is something all guys have been through. With time, experience and a little understanding from other guys, it's something that we all learn to control and get over.
