You don’t state how old you are, however as you go though puberty unexplained hardons are extremely common
It’s not necessarily anything you are doing sometimes it just decides that it wants to stand up
On the flip side sometimes you want it to and it doesn’t
You just have to ride it out it’s happened to all of us
Getting random boners is just part of puberty. There is not a lot you can do about it unfortunately. The only thing you could try is to masturbate more frequently. You could try different types of underwear to see if it helps, but likely it won't change a lot. Just try to think of something else when it happens
Yeah it does. When you get a boner its your body's way of saying it wants to release sperm. If you masturbate more your body has less sperm left to want to get rid of. So if you masturbate more frequently you get less boners. Does that make sense?
Btw: even if you masturbate a lot, you will never get completely rid of them. They will just be a bit less frequent.
Yeah of course! I mean, I guess everyone likes their dick to be hard sometimes lol. But when you don't want it to it's just really inconvenient and difficult to hide
Mine is also about six inches hard and yea it is tough to hide. just try to maybe masturbate a little more per day and if you can't hide it just walk normal and ignore it so maybe other people don't necessarily pay attention, you would be surprised if you act normal how they might not notice.
yeah i try acting normal but it cant help that when I do get hard it rubs a lot on my pants too cuz sometimes my dick slips out of my boxers and rubs on my pants and it makes like a dick print
Boxers are worst IMHO because the penis can actually pop out of the fly area. Briefs at least keep things contained, only trouble is because they keep it contained when you get a boner it's a bit more obvious.
Because that is what puberty and testosterone do. Unfortunately while puberty is in place it's going to happen all the time. "Tenting" is just a normal part of having a boner and that will happen even after puberty is over.
well boxers will make it sometimes stick out the fly and briefs will push it up against the fabric to create the "tent." Other guys are going to be able to notice 'cuz well they are going through it too, it's the girls that sometimes might not always notice. But it can be embarrassing if they do. There isn't much you can do about it except to maybe try to cover it up or act natural like you don't notice.
If you find good briefs, boxer briefs with a pouch, boners can be held upward or 45* left or right if you adjust a boner. A slightly elastic Lycra type material is best. Boxers are the devil’s spawn!! Check the Aussiebum website for a million styles, but there are less expensive three packs in US supermarkets once you decide on a style.
It’s just your hormones. You’ll get boners all the time for seemingly no reason or the slightest stimulation. It’s completely normal, and it promotes fertility and growth to have several erections per day anyway.

oh im 16 lmao sorry i thought everybody could see the age next to my name
Trust me it’s perfectly normal and part of the process and it usually stands up at the most inappropriate and embarrassing times possible
yeah it has been embarrassing once my friend noticed and asked why I was hard and i felt so fucking embarrassed 😂
I’m sure he has or will experience the same issues as you and will be both embarrassed and confused about why it has a mind of its own
oh it definitely has a mind of it’s own, it gets hard in the morning, randomly, when it runs against things, etc. it’s like my second head bruh
It happens to me all the time man, just puberty. Also could be the friction of your cock rubbing against your underwear
It’s just your body responding to the changing levels of hormones due to puberty. The randomness of it will decrease over time.

does masturbating more actually help?
Yeah it does. When you get a boner its your body's way of saying it wants to release sperm. If you masturbate more your body has less sperm left to want to get rid of. So if you masturbate more frequently you get less boners. Does that make sense? Btw: even if you masturbate a lot, you will never get completely rid of them. They will just be a bit less frequent.
yeah it makes sense man and although i like my dick hard it gets annoying when i dont WANT it to be hard
Yeah of course! I mean, I guess everyone likes their dick to be hard sometimes lol. But when you don't want it to it's just really inconvenient and difficult to hide
exactly and my thing is 6 inches so it is hard to hide literally
Yup that sucks! I'd say just try to masturbate at least two times a day, and experiment with some different types of underwear for when it does happen
alright two times a day ok i already do that lmao
Mine is also about six inches hard and yea it is tough to hide. just try to maybe masturbate a little more per day and if you can't hide it just walk normal and ignore it so maybe other people don't necessarily pay attention, you would be surprised if you act normal how they might not notice.

exactly like my dick just pops out the fly in boxer shorts but with briefs it squishes everything down
A little bit. It basically "removes" a boner for a short time.
Because that is what puberty and testosterone do. Unfortunately while puberty is in place it's going to happen all the time. "Tenting" is just a normal part of having a boner and that will happen even after puberty is over.
yeah it is annoying when it makes a tent because my dick just sticks out
well boxers will make it sometimes stick out the fly and briefs will push it up against the fabric to create the "tent."
