hard, and it is extremely difficult to stop.” male age 25
“It’s totally embarrassing. You just want to get up and go, but you can’t. So you start pulling on your shirt or sweater to try to cover up the bulge. You become very self-conscious; you think everyone is looking at your crotch.” male age 43
“It’s like being in an elevator with an umbrella that will not go down.” male age 42
“It can physically hurt when your penis is trapped in your jeans pointing downward and it suddenly gets hard for no reason whatsoever.” male age 26
“Most of my memories of unwanted erections were at school, generally during class, and I was terrified that someone would notice.” male age 24
“I travel a lot for business and sometimes wake up erect after a flight. It’s terribly embarrassing. If I can’t think the damn thing down, then I have to go through the tricky maneuver of flipping it up, trapping it under my waistband without being noticed, and then keeping my briefcase in front of me when I stand.” male age 25
    Women usually assume that the presence of a hard-on means that a man is sexually aroused, and that no rise in his pants means he isn’t. If only it were that simple. Consider the occurrence of the unwanted hard-on. The average teenage male is capable of getting a totally unwanted hard-on in the middle of an algebra test for absolutely no reason, unless he is a member of that rare breed who finds polynomial equations sexually arousing. When you are a young man, hard-ons just happen; nobody is more befuddled than the possessor of the penis. To say that all hard-ons are a sign of sexual arousal badly overstates the case. One reader took a bad grade in an early-morning high-school class because he couldn’t go to the chalkboard due to his unwanted erections. His only thoughts were of frustration, not sex.
    In addition to getting unwanted hard-ons, there are times when a man can feel highly aroused, yet either fail to get hard or have it go limp when he needs it the most (floppus erectus).
    Hiding an Unwanted Erection
    A large portion of unwanted erections have little to do with being sexually aroused, and guys usually have no more control over them than women do over getting their periods. So thinking about awful things like french-kissing your grandmother isn’t going to bring a raging hard-on down because it’s probably not about sex to begin with. Pinching yourself until you bleed won’t help, and jerking off more often than you already do won’t change anything. For unwanted erections in public, camouflage is the only answer.
    If unwanted erections are a problem, avoid wearing sweat pants in public places. Wear pants that are have more rigid material like denim, because the sweat pant material is more likely to drape around your erection and show it off. You might avoid tight pants as well.
    Baggy untucked Ts or sweat shirts have been saving young men from boner embarrassment since the beginning of time. The same is true for a briefcase, backpack or laptop bag with long straps that you can casually shift in front of your crotch. If your erection feels comfortable in the up direction, a lot of guys will put their hands in their pockets and nudge it under the waistband of their briefs or boxers. Men call this maneuver the ‘waistband tuck’.
    Since you can’t prevent unwanted erections, it helps to have ways to hide them.
    False Negatives: When Gravity Dings the Dong
Confucius says
If limp dick is worst thing that happens to your relationship, you live charmed life.
    Hopefully your lovemaking isn’t solely dependent on the man’s ability to get hard. If it is, your sexual relationship might be somewhat limited. It’s also disconcerting to think that your entire sex life might be centered on the whims of the average penis, hard or soft.
    Regarding the biology of erections, it is perfectly normal for a hard penis to partly deflate every fifteen minutes or so. Regarding the psychology of erections, be
