I don't get hard. Especially if I have worked out before. The heat raises your heart rate and blood pressure, working against having an erection. I have to be stimulated by someone else to get one in the steam room. I do leak though

I think if you get a little hard its not a big deal. If you are pointing at the ceiling, that could be awkward for some people, great for others.

I find the heat actually makes it more difficult to get an erection compared to the same situation at a normal temperature. Though, in the steam room I'm usually focusing on stretching, breathing, meditating.

From what I've seen a lot of guys get kind of hard in the steam room. If you keep that in mind it might help relax you, and once that anxiety is gone it might help you get less excited about the situation.

Iv'e seen guys in the steam rooms and sometimes hard after a nice long swim wearing those tight speedo swim briefs or spandex workout outfits and now naked in the sauna steam rooms are still erect and react to their feeling, as a normal healthy male reaction once their bodies are uncovered and free, after being snug and secure in spandex for a while. in the gym or swimming pool.

Like others the heat inhibits my ability to get aroused. If anything I experience shrinkage but I'm a little jealous of the guys that can workout hard and sit in the sauna and get an erection. I see it sometimes and aside from a few cursory looks, nobody makes an issue of it. Sometimes I wonder if those guys actually worked out heavy or if they just enter the sauna because some get pretty hard and remain that way.

I think you're right. There are a lot of guys at my Y that only come in to use the steam room, hot tub and shower only and never do any form of exercise at all. It certainly explains why they are getting fatter despite being at the Y all of the time.

I know most folks on here consider this a 4-letter curse word (even though it’s 5 letters); but having a “towel” around can be pretty handy for covering up. I’ve seen them used in steam rooms and saunas. If wearing a towel is “not your thing”, as long as you’re not point it at anyone, most guys shouldn’t have issue.
True, some guys do opt for the “Executive workout”, which is okay. It just involves zero machines, and is all about the spa package.

All the heat is making it impossible to not get a hard on!. How do you guys manage?

Are you hard because you are naked in front of others or because they are naked in front of you?

Personally, I’m with most who’ve responded already. I can’t imagine getting an accidental hard on in the steam room. The steam definitely has an effect.... not one I mind, btw... as my cock tends to get plump and hangs reeeal low. I wish it always looked as impressive soft as it does in the steamroom. But to get a hard on, I’d really have to be exercising my imagination and presumably creating some friction.

It’s not that you’re fluffing yourself up with a semi to impress others in the locker room and fighting the challenge to remain partially hard without going full hard on, and losing that battle? I’ve had friends admit to the fluffing thing... don’t think it’s uncommon... also, not necessary.

Or, just taking your post at face value, you get hard in the steam room. I say, “Right on. Who cares?” I wouldn’t make a deal of it if I saw it, and anyone else with a penis should be just as enlightened. Penises get hard sometimes for no rhyme or reason. If this is the case for you, I’d just say to rock it. Anxiety over it probably only exacerbates the issue, I’d guess. And if it really bothers you, then take the towel recommendation.

When I was young, having an erection in the sauna was fairly common. Much more difficult nowadays.

One of the Ys near me has a hot tub in the change room, I once saw a guy come out of the hot tub with a full on, straight out erection. Pretty good size too.

When I've been in the steam room I don't generally get rock hard but I do hang heavy. I'm chubbed up but not a full blown raging hard on.. I don't worry about it. I'm a normal healthy man and not going to get embarrassed over a normal healthy hard dick. Men get hard ons it's normal. Just go with it.
