Erections are not a 'problem,' they are SUPPOSED to occur. The REAL 'problem' is people's attitude to them and the fact that males are (falsely) caused to believe that they should only occur under certain circumstances and at certain times - which is a complete artificiality enforced by prudish, illogical, unaware anti-realists. However, the freedom to regard erections in this manner brings with it the responsibility on all males to ensure that they act in a sane and reasonable manner when endowed with the condition.
This isn't ANOTHER thread on the erection problem - this is a thread on the problem of peoples attitudes - thats different. I felt that I wanted to point out that there was another way of looking at this topic, one which didn't regard an erection as a 'problem' and that if I tried to do this amongst existing threads, the subtle difference would be lost. Sorry - was this a free speech forum or not?
I don't think there's any taboo on having an erection, most places... it's just very unpleasnt to be that guy, because everyones attention is drawn to your junk, and how obvious it and its size are not to say it's a problem for one or 2 people to see my dick... but if you're trying to give a speech or something, it REALLY sucks, even if no one bats an eyelash or says anything....
