... what?
what is that supposed to mean? I really do want to understand what you're trying to say.
in any case, fr_chuck is right. Getting turned on by children is not normal.
in this case, the only possible excuse (in your favor) that I can think of is, like chuck suggested, that your hormones are out of control because of your age, which might make your body respond to all kinds of things.
however, if there is any emotional or psychological element whatsoever that is causing you to be turned on by children, you should definitely see a professional therapist who specializes in these disturbances. It should be treated like a serious mental illness. It would absolutely be something to take very seriously, and it would not be something to put off until (if, when or after) something much more serious occurs.
that said, I will still respond to the other parts of your post as being separate from the question addressed above.
as far as being "really, really comfortable" or getting into a warm bed goes, I don't see why an erection in these kinds of situations would be cause for concern. What do you see as abnormal about this?
using the phrase "erection free" makes me think that you feel that an erection is a bad thing. It might be an embarrassing thing if you were seen with one by someone you didn't want to see it, but what's so bad about having an erection in private?
it sounds like you also feel very uncomfortable, if not against, the idea of masturbation. You talked about it being against your better judgment. What is causing you to feel conflicted about masturbating?
I read your other thread here called "crazy dream". (
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/adult-...am-276106.html) in it, you talked about being dedicated to your religion. Just out of curiosity, and in order to understand your feelings on the subject, is their something in your particular beliefs or from your church's teachings that leads you to believe that there is something wrong with thinking sexual thoughts, having erections or self-stimulation?
the fact is that these are perfectly natural, perfectly normal and perfectly healthy responses for anyone living in a human body and in possession of a human mind. As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing wrong with working with the things that make us human. I believe that people are more than capable of having erections, or masturbating, and also believing in God. I don't see them as mutually exclusive to each other, and I don't think you should feel guilty or uncomfortable about responding to your body's needs in a healthy and natural way.
having random erections really is a perfectly normal part of early manhood. At least in that sense, there's nothing wrong with you.
