I'm not a guy, but its normal, its your age.
As long as its not affecting your day to day life it will be OK, if it is affecting you, try to get your mind on something else when it happens and it should go away.

I found this on another answer site, it may be helpful for you. Hope this helps!

Should a normal man's penis become erect for a certain number of times throughout one day (without any external stimulus)? Or, do these erections occur only while a man is sleeping? I have been masturbating once every day or every other day, and I have noticed that I rarely get any of those spontaneous erections during the day at all. Plus, I have been waking up with no morning erection during the past week. Have I been masturbating too much?

Dear Worried,

Teenage boys have reflex erections (with no external stimulus) during any time of the day or night. As men get older, these reflex erections become less frequent and direct touching becomes necessary to produce erections. It is not clear how old you are, but you may just be experiencing part of the maturation process, and soon you will start to have erections at more "appropriate" times. And, masturbation may or may not affect your morning erections — you'll see what happens with your own body.

And this one...

I am a virgin and I was wondering if it is common for a virgin male to get hard-ons throughout the day for no apparent sexual reason? It usually happens to me about 3 - 4 times daily... am I alone?

Thank you very much,
— Curious person



Dear Curious person,
You are not alone; this phenomenon certainly is common among virgin and non-virgin men alike, especially in their teen and younger adult years. Research and self-report show that as men age, though, their bodies are less likely to have reflex erections or erections with fantasy alone. Instead, they are more likely to respond to direct stimulation.

As you have noticed, a sexual stimulus is not necessary for erections to happen. Men get reflex erections during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which occurs during the middle and late stages of the nightly sleep cycle. Erections also can occur when boys and men are afraid, angry, or totally stressed. If a man's prostate gland is enlarged, the pressure from the prostate (this organ, when stimulated, can cause feelings of sexual arousal) can result in an erection. In addition, when a person has a full bladder, the pressure exerted by the bladder upon the prostate gland can cause erections. Finally, if one uses drugs recreationally, such as ecstasy, which can increase one's susceptibility to sexual arousal, erections may arise (no pun intended). Similarly, using Viagra can also help bring about the conditions needed for erections to develop.

So, yes, you are normal, with a normal healthy boys' response.

It's normal and will eventually stop happening when you get older. Im still experiencing it daily but not nearly as much as I once did.

This was reported due to underage sex issue, but since this is a natural thing that happens, I have not deleted it, as long as it stays on issue.

Since a 15 year does not have any business having sex, but sexual urges do start at this time.

This is just normal,

I would say you need to use better language, the street slang can be offense to some people

You get an erection sometimes just because you have to pee in the morning when you are young. So many young men wake up with an erection. The other times you are describing are probably because your are aroused to some extent by your girlfriends kisses etc. This is totally normal and nothing to be ashamed of. Think of it as part of puberty. If anything it shows you are probably not gay (as it is your girlfriend) who causes this excitement. Hang in there and nature will provide the solution in a few more years.

It has everything to do with your young age. As you mature you gain better control of your body and your reactions and this problem will go away. You have another few years to deal with it yet. May I recommend tighty whitey briefs rather than boxer shorts to help keep things under control at this difficult stage of life. It works wonders to save you from those embarrassing events. Just wear briefs, and tuck it downward rather than leave it upward. Then you will find the problem rarely happens in public.

I copied this from my other post, fortunate for you, you are young and it happens to younger men a lot, but here you go for help. Hey first of all I have the same problem, I'm 21, very sexually active and masturbate frequently as well, and I am always erect, whether at work, the pool, in class, walking around. It can be extremely embarrassing, but I have perfected the tuck up, which works as long as your shirt is not tucked in, then it is a bit harder to do. But the concept is to quickly put your hand down your pants and pull it up into your shirt, which works in most situations you just have to play it off as you are tucking in your shirt or fixing yourself etc. I also wear a speedo to the pool under my bathing suit and tighter underwear works too but I stick to boxers and the tuck, haha. Good luck
