Hi
Well I've scoured the internet and I can't find help with my problem.
Basially I am 28 years old and find that I get too easily sexually aroused! I'm expecting all the following posts to say that I am lucky but it is actually a real problem.
I go swimming a lot now to get used to being around naked men which may seem wierd but basically if I am naked in front of anybody I find that an instant turn-on. I stay in the showers with my shorts on with men showering around me and I can usually contain myself but feel a bit self-concious but when I take my shorts off I get aroused straight away and have to cover myslef quickly.
I'm not gay and don't find any attraction to other men at all. I don't care if I see naked men or if they see me but have a real complexity about being naked because I am very aware. I'm 28 and have sex 3 times now which may be the cause. I'm activelly dating so maybe having people (girls) seeing my body will help this so that I can eventually be naked in front of girls and not get aroused. Last time I had sex (many years ago!) I had sex a few times but then sat naked with the girl for a few hours where I was still naked and my erection didn't go away. Just having somebody see me naked is a real turn on whether its a male or female.
If I type 'erecion problems' into google I get results of people who can't get erections! I can't believe it. I'd love to be in the showers with other men and just not care. That would be my dream! How do you not get erections when people are looking at your naked body? It just happens.
I don't always feel sexually aroused either. Like if you get an erection in the morning it is not actually sexual, same as me. If I'm naked, even if no-one is around I get an erection.
Any idea? will it stop?

Hi ed1960!

I am a 32 year old female and I have had, well... numerous partners and I think it would be flattering to see a guy "erect" even when we are taking our clothes off to get into the hot tub! To me it means that they "like what they see"... ME!!! Lol!!

Just my input!!! Ha Ha!

I Was Just Searching On This Topic, Because The Same Thing Happens To Me, I Know It's Great At Time (my Girlfriend Loves It), But It's Embarressing To Think That People Might Get The Wrong Idea. I Do Get Erect At Public Showers, Locker Room, Multiple Times During The Day, Massages, But Most Embarressing To Date Has Been While Getting An Erection During A Physical With A Male Doctor. Masterbating Doesn't Work, It Still Happens.

As suggested previously, when showering in public - use water as cold as you can stand and direct it toward your crotch . You might also try aversion therapy - keep a rubber band on your wrist and everytime you get an inappropriate erection, pull the rubber band back a couple of inches and let it smack your wrist with a sting. Your subconscious may associate the erection with pain and perhaps make them less likely. Lastly, it has been rumored that saltpeter (potassium nitrate) has been used by the military and boy's boarding schools to suppress male sexual arousal - however this is likely only an old wive's tale and is not recommended.... see: http://www.snopes.com/military/saltpetr.htm

Thanks Single4 - That's nice to hear. Sound like my kinda girl.

I understand what you are going through; though my problem is even worse in some ways. Personally I do not need any condition at all to set off an erection. Regardless if I have a constant sexual partner, or not, and whether or not I resort to frequent masturbation. I have had this condition since the onset of puberty and am currently 28 years old also.

You will find a slight reduction in occurrence while involved with frequent sexual activity with a partner, however I only saw about a 10-20% reduction.

In an unrelated appointment with my doctor he mentioned if the medication he was about to prescribe me resulted in an extended erection lasting a few hours that taking 1-2 Sudafed would do the trick. I am sure someone could explain the scientific reason for this but it has something to do with what a decongestant does to your blood vessels ability to contract. He mentioned many times when men are sick and taking a decongestant that they cannot get sexually aroused for this reason.

I have not had a need to test this statement yet as I have don't find myself naked in front of others unless they are a sexual partner so I have not had quite the level of embarrassment.

I hope this helps you.

Good luck,
Steve

Bobby, dude, lighten up and breathe. there is no need to worry about it, which my also be a culprit. But, I see a conflict in statements which I have highlighted. this is an issue you may want to take up with a therapist. And it's ok to see a therapist, they are great. Also, If there is anyway possible, you need to have more sex with someone other than yourself. Listen, i know, I have been there. I also suffer from getting aroused quite easily. My wife text me yesterday about 30 minutes before I was going to leave work and told me to "come" home now. Before I put my phone in my pocket and got my jacket on, I was erect trying to leave the office, and she and I have sex 4 to 5 x's a week and as much as 3x's a day when she is ovulating. I'm 37 and enjoy the fact that I can become erect at a moments notice. I use to be self conscious about it when I was younger, which the erections were more frequent, and it use to bother me. I played college baseball and after practices or games, I too would get erect or semi-erect in the shower. But one thing about it was that the guys on the team did not make slanting remarks. Some would pick on me about it, like saying, "Dang, Tuck, I believe you need to get some pu$$ie". They would laugh and I would to. I had to make light of the situation. I knew that some of the guys would like to be able to have a sustainable erection such as I. Also, which made it better then and it does now too with my wife, I am well endowed and this made it a product of envy for the guys on the team.
I would work on the mind before going to a physical doctor. Look you are blessed with the ability to get erect, maybe more than you want right now, but you are and it is a gift. If you see some ole sawbones and he shoots a pill down ya throat and tells ya to take these and everything will be alright, well you just might get the complete opposite, no erections, especially as you get older. Man I would treasure it, care for it and be proud of it.
Go see a head doc first before taking anything synthetic to control it. You need to control it, not something outside of you. 99.9% of the things wrong with us can be solved by fixing how we are thinking about our selves and others.
I understand you, and I have been there, but now I really, really enjoy my erections.

Most women I know would kill to have you as a boy friend with that problem. If you are that bothered by such a blessing then you should seek a doctor advice because erection are the result of an increase of blood flow to the penis. That is how viagra and other sexual medications work. You should have your blood pressure checked and tell your doctor of your concerns.
