----------------------------------
The drug and saltpeter rumors are strictly myths. I simply don't remember any erections during my first weeks of basic training. Couldn't even find place or time to jack-off. Now that was indeed a change abandoning that daily ritual.
My only good memory of recruit erections are from having worked as a medic assigned to a Special Training Unit (remedial physical conditioning company). The "wood" on display wasn't caused by boxer shorts, but to the contrary probably from constraining jockstraps.
Sort of a funny story, but if anyone is interested in military lore, I'll continue.
Peak of summer heat, and about 12 new draftees had been inprocessed in the previous couple of days. Despite " a lot of encouragement" from the Drill Sgts., few new conscripts could keep up with the all day physical training, and us medics kept busy in the recovery tent working with their puking, cramps and heat exhaustion, but for the most part we quickly got them back on the grinder doing more PT.
During my first week on detail, at the end of the day I was in the barracks with the PTI (2nd hat Drill Sgt. Physical Training Instructor) while the 30 recruits were showering down. The PTI said something like we better go get them or they will spend the entire night in the shower.
Plain as day, two of the recruits were displaying some very serious wood.
Nothing funny going on. Doubt they were even trying to jack-off. Probably just a matter of their dicks wanting to stretch out a bit having been confined in their sweaty jocks for 10 hours.
Anyway, the Sgt. went ballistic! He turned off the master shower control, brought the company to attention and started screaming about the erections. Told the group that since they had enough energy to "raise their dick muscles", they had enough energy for more PT. He went to the laundry bin, and dumped all of the sweaty PT uniforms on the floor and told the company that they had 3 minutes to get back into uniform and report in formation in front of the barracks or they would be doing PT all night. With no time to sort out names, it was sort of fun watching these guys putting on sweaty socks, shorts, shirts and jocks, ANY socks, shorts, shirts and jocks onto their shower wet and even soapy bodies.
It was amazing to see how much additional PT the Sgts. could sweat out of these already exhausted boys. On top of the extra hour or so of exercise, the Mess Hall was closed by the time that the recruits did shower number 2, the hungry men enjoyed their first dining experience
of a delicious K-Ration.
Prior to lights out, he asked the two boys who had presented such pretty erections if they had anything they wanted to say to the rest of the company.
Now the clincher is that the PTI told us medics that we would have late duty, as he had already planned an evening PT session do to poor performance of the group during the day. This was long before the shower/erection event.
In hindsight, the way this thing played out, it must have made for some interesting later interaction between the two guys who presented hard-ons and the rest of the company.
