When I was a kid, I used to get boners for no reason very often. I didn't have to think any sexy thoughts at all, and I'd get hard. I was very self-conscious about it too, and I would never wear gym shorts because I didn't want to get caught with one. As I got older, I got them less and less frequently to the point that it's now impossible to get a stiffy without a reason to be horny. Last week my girlfriend bought me a massage from a professional LMT for my hip pains I've been having. She booked me an appointment with a middle aged buff body builder dude who is also a personal trainer. I got naked under the sheets on the massaging bed. As he was rubbing my sore hip muscles, and I pitched a tent under the sheets. It was a raging hard on. It was so awkward after so many years to get a no-reason boner right in front of a guy who was treating my hip muscles.
Back when I was like 12-18 I could get harder then a chinese crossword puzzle at the mere thought of a semi nude girl.
There's always a reason! Like when in the morning you want to empty the proverbial catheter and you can't: its because your dick was making sure you didn't pee in your bed. I love my penis! As a youngster I was glad I lived in the countryside just for this reason already. I just went outside and never had to wait for the morningwood to disappear.
people always act like spontaneous erections are such an embarrassing part of adolescence. sure, if you get a boner in the shower after gym class, that's pretty humiliating. but all you have to do normally is flip it up into your waistband and lean forward a little bit and it's completely hidden. i think i was hard for about 80% of high school, and as far as i know it was never noticed by anyone. now in my old age there is only one situation where it still happens sometimes. when i have to get up ridiculously early for out of town meetings, my penis gets confused by the timing and occasionally goes into morning wood stage while i'm sitting in the car. the end does not justify the means.
If a guy's lucky, there's a good long time after embarrassing erections end, and before embarrassing lack of erections begins.
It is a lot harder to find something to discreetly cover your tight tee shirt than to find a jumper or newspaper to put on your lap. LMAO.
I doubt than any of us can truthfully say that we know the triggers. They are not all about sexual activity. We still don't understand how 90% of our brain works and cardiologists can never work out the full electronics of how adrenaline increases our heartbeat. We don't even FULLY know what converts the electrical supply from the DC generated within our body from our calcium, potassium and sodium activated nodes into our basic arrhythmia. Here's a thought. When our heatbeat increases, does our dick act as a pressure release when we don't require the extra blood to run for our lives. LOL.
Being in middle 60s, I no longer have to worry about accidental boners. I did enjoy the super hard-on, I used to get from time to time, when my penis got a little bigger and harder.
I think most guys get lots of spontaneous erections when they're young. I certainly did! I'm now 62, and I still get at least a few spontaneous erections every day, regardless of how sexually active I am.
Old Faithful Pneumatic systems are more reliable, But boners are a hybrid system, Or they would be squishy, Like a blow up doll. Hydraulics are less reliable, But, can take a lot more abuse! You can put a lot more miles on them! So long as you have access to penicillin! And are not so desperate as to hurt yourself! Doing so, violates any manufacturer warranty. Genghis Khan had maybe two thousand children, Like it or not, that toy was made to be used for life! Your life literally depends upon your own satisfaction! Use it or loose it because this toy determines longevity, Few other animals have sex nearly as often as humans, The more complex the animal, in general, the more social. Humanity is meant to do many things, but we are made for love.
