Unintentional erections in the locker room: no big deal, or offensive?

How do you feel about accidental boners in the locker room?

Outside of nocturnal erections, can a boner ever be truly "accidental?" Unwanted, yes, but at least in my experience, what's going on in my mind is always behind my erections. It's not like I get a hardon while reciting Shakespeare (well, at least never since I passed going through puberty). Sure the amount of blood in my flaccid cock varies throughout the day, sometimes getting pretty heavy all by itself, but never anything approaching an erection without my mind having at least a few thoughts which might involve putting it into use. So, I figure that any guy walking around the locker room at half-mast or better is that way due to his own arousal. Does it bother me? No; unless the life in his package is coupled with a clear indication that he'd like to use it on me. Then it creeps me out, though that's only happened a couple of times to me.
 
I have seen guys get semis and full hardons in the shower. No big deal. I have seen guys have semis in the locker room. No big deal. I also know a guy who often gets a hardon while working legs. Go figure. One time I was working out and this guy was doing curl while watching himself in the mirror. I was doing my routine and I looked over at him in the mirror and he had an obvious full hardon. We were the only ones there. It kind of bothered me and I moved on elsewhere. I never saw it happen again.

this subject is very complex.

depends on the behavior of the guy. I've seen guys with a hard one and they were trying to show it. however, the guy can show off even not having a hard dick. that is, it is not an erection that will tell whether a behavior is offensive or not.

however, it is important to know if in the locker room you attend children or teenagers (although I think they should always be accompanied by a dad / grandfather / uncle). I remember seeing one when I was a teenager, I was scared and to this day I do not know if it was an attempt of abuse / violation or something natural. I really was not prepared to understand that situation, although I already knew pornography and was in a pubertal age.

you know it's not intentional, but what about the other people there?
 
If I ever had a hang up about what my cock was going to do in a locker room I'd never go any place.
Guys get erections, big erections, cocks have a mind of their own. In a locker room I've seem more semi lobs than I care to think about, (if I did I'd be a wanked out wreck), enough erections to please me for a lifetime - but they just popped up, all on their own, most not even sexually motivated.
And if I see one its in the peripheral vision, if I get one I hope no one mentions it...its called understanding the nature of the beast.
 
Last night I was showering at he gym. Open showers no curtains. While washing my balls, I got a boner. Since I was alone I flicked it around a little. Then I glance up and realize a guy is watching me from another room about 20 feet away. Instinctively, I turned so my back was to him. He was getting dressed there even though his locker was across the room. I noticed he kept staring so u turned around and let him get a good look at my semi. He watched for about 5 minutes. It was a great feeling for the exhibitionist in me.
 
I’ve seen some. Had a few myself. Not a big deal at all.

And boom....ditto.

It can be a number of factors..
...the mind...
....the soap, warm water..
...actually a cold water plunge while would shrivel, sometimes it sends a surge of blood through the body straight to the cock..
I am more comfortable if it happens and there isn't a panic about it...by whomever, the one boned or those who saw it....
 
And this occurred to me, when walking naked, and dick swings, it sort of fills out naturally, sort of semi.
 
I dont buy “accidental” boners in the locker room. If you’re working out for real blood flow reduces to the penis and it takes time, effort and massaging to restore normal size. IMO it’s more a show off thing. But I’m not gay so maybe if there were naked women walking around and I saw a woman with the body of power girl I’d pop at least a semi
 
I’m the kind of guy who gets erections very easily, I’ve had full erections in locker rooms and showers. I simply don’t do anything unusual or different when I get one. No towel dances or awkward moves. I just act normally as if nothing ever happened.

It happens very easy for me too, that's why I've always been very careful. Having a super-sensitive head, if I pull my foreskin back to wash, I don't like having streams of water hitting the head raw, so I usually turn away when I'm doing "upkeep" down there.
 
Every guy gets boners. There are times when they can occur at the most inopportune time. Some studies day that men have sexual thoughts every 7 seconds while another says only about two times am hour. Depending on the guy I suppose it could be more.

We're guys we get boners several times a day don't worry about it. It just shows up are a normal healthy man.

Everyone has his own take on this. Mostly it depends on how easily you are aroused. Ignoring the possible erotic impact of having someone check you out, there are a number of physical actions that might set a boner going.

First of all, like pissing, boner growth can be hard to control once it gets started.

For most of us our dick stays tucked back by underwear and paints. When freed to an open space your dick is open to a lot of new stimulation. Just the friction of a towel, a breath of air on the dick head or balls, or the sensation that your balls or dick is flopping between your legs can set it off.

Once some erection gets going and it bounces a bit while you are moving around, the shaft flexes up into your prostate. For some guys this has about the same impact as a finger up the butt. Good luck keeping that horse in the barn.

It is all as natural as sneezing with a lot less negative side effect. The only unnatural thing about a boner is not having one or enjoying it when it does occur.
 
I avoid locker rooms whenever possible; but if the situation came up and I had to make use of one; and this locker room was men only.

I shower at home pretty much boner free, so if i suddenly in this non public space got wood, I would have a serious 3 way conversation with my penis and brain .

Something like
" Dudes seriously whats up, with this thing " :)

Being a real New Yorker, I observe the one free urinal space rule, as well as the never make eye contact rule. In a locker room, This would be amended to no Eye, and nothing between the knees and belly button rule

Sensoring yourself from the locker room sounds like a major project to avoid other men. Your puritanical religion surely enhanced your homophobia into fear, anger, hate, and rage. Shame regarding the human body must torment your perception of the world in a warped way. Seeing another guy naked won't make you queer, nor will it turn you into salt.
