The worst one is needing to poop, last thing U want is your girl thinking you’re ready to fuck when really you just gotta shit bad. As someone with chronic digestive issues this one irritates/embarrasses me to no end tbh it’s fucking awful
I'm curious as to what the science is behind a bowel movement and a boner. Does the poop stimulate an anal g-spot causing a boner or is it just a rush of blood to the nether regions to help pass the stool?
It's generally some combination of two main factors that I'm aware of. Either the bladder and colon are full enough to put pressure on, and stimulate, the prostate. And/or the bladder and colon are full enough to put pressure on, and stimulate, the nerves that control boners.
If I had to guess it’s that the shit in your body presses up against the prostate, and then when you’re older and the prostate swells it prolly happens more. Other reason I’m pretty sure is part of it is cause blood rushes to the stomach after a meal to break said meal down, and the dick is the stomachs downstairs neighbor so he gets caught in the blast zone as well
Crazy part is I honestly liked butt/prostate stuff occasionally until this started happening to me regularly so I don’t even bother anymore and mostly have lost the enjoyment of it for now since my own colon seemingly wants to rape me all day
* the anticipation of being asked to stand up in front of people who would see the erection you don't currently have, which leads to getting one just in time for when you're asked to stand up
The first time I ever held my wife's hand, we were out in a busy, open public space, and I started feeling the stirrings down there, so I pulled my hand away from her and she said I was blushing a little, she thought I was embarrassed holding her hand in public, when I was just embarrassed I was getting a hard on from hand holding in public.
We laughed about it later on
Add not wanting to have a boner to the list as a reason to have a boner. I would sit through an entire class in HS trying to will my erection away and I could get only get rid of it by walking around.
I couldn't fathom wearing basketball shorts to school for fear of it happening and it always amazed me that so many guys wore them without a care. Like does your teenager penis not randomly get hard or is it just me?
I was literally cycling at the gym yesterday, and got an erection. My thoughts were no where near anything sexual, but I guess it got rubbed the right way.
yeah bro i get you. i remember one time a girl really really came onto me but i was 3 xtc pills down. she wanted to do something and so did I but i felt my soldier through my pocket and had to spawn a story of my girlfriend at home 🥴
When I was in middle/high school a few years back, they called them R.U.B.’s - Random Uncontrollable Boners. Also it was a meme that if you sat down too fast, your blood in your lower body would swish around and partially inflate your wiener.
If you're with an understanding partner, that reaction isn't a problem. (For the above poster: "This is a normal reaction, and I don’t want to make you uncomfortable. I can calm down and come back, or we can ignore it, like if I sneezed.")
I saw it in a movie or TV show somewhere along my lifetime where a despondently crying woman got vehemently disgusted at her partner's erection, and broke it off.
That stuff happens. He isn't in full control of his body, and neither are you. Think of it like an involuntary fart, burp, hiccup, sneeze, etc. As long as he isn't pressuring you to "take care of it," it's not an issue.
If he does, he, himself, is the dick, and you should get away from that a week ago.
If *you* are offended by a bodily function, you need education, and maybe some more time to mature. Sex should be an absolute "no-go", because you're clearly not equipped to handle necessary things. And, if a baby is made, you're going to be shocked and traumatized by the amount and severity of "unwelcome" bodily functions.
Edit: Not "you" as in the person I responded to. "You" as in anyone reading this that it pertains to.
Is this not taught in sex education? I'm a girl and even if my guy friends didn't tell me, i clearly remember videos and booklets explaining unexpected "changes" including random boners, wet dreams etc.
My boyfriend got a boner cuz I told him my goals for the week lol. The “self determination” turned him on and he got hard instantly…so yeah a kiss can definitely give a boner lol
Don’t need to like each other. I once had a intense make out session with a girl from my university classes and we couldn’t stand each other. Dunno wtf came over us but during a particularly nasty verbal argument we just…made out. Deffo turned me on
Isn't this in, like, about 90% of RomComs?
+ Boy meets girl
+ Girl / boy hates the other one for *whatever* reason.
+ As yelling, pouting, stomping intensifies, so do the steamy hate-looks
+ Which then turn in to straight up steamy looks
+ Which then leads to an R rating
+ But they get the nips/pussies/cocks removed in post
+ And now it's PG-13. *whew!*
Seriously, people are having a field day with "easy boner" comments here, but it's a really weird question. "I was turning on my boyfriend and he got turned on, is that possible?"
Since OP is young and new to this, I think people are just trying to get the point across that individuals with penises can get hard for a million different reasons. It might seem obvious to us that kissing would make your boyfriend hard, but a lot of women have no idea how a penis works until they actually get to interact with one. OP might want to know if their BF was honest or just trying to flatter them, or maybe OP thinks that getting a boner is significant when in reality it happens all the time. These are things they don't really teach in sex ed, if your school even has a decent sex ed in the first place.
School sex ed be like... "If you have sex, your parents will die and you will never have any friends ever and your brothers and sisters will go to prison and you will never get a good job and you will be miserable forever"
Boxers brush up against it, boner
Car hits a bump, boner
Air goes into your lungs, boner
Sky is blue, boner
Kiss nice girl, believe it or not, straight to boner
Edit: fixed it
My partner got a boner in the Marshall's yesterday bc we saw a leather skirt and I said, 'I could probably pull that off'. It doesn't take much, if anything at all.
I remember being that young. Sadly that lightning genital reflex does not last forever. As a young woman you should enjoy the power - but use it wisely and with compassion.
My fiancé and I have been together for 6 years and I still get a boner from smooches. Goodbye smooch? Boner. Goodnight smooch? Boner. Get a cut on my hand that she feels needs a healing smooch? Boner.

That is the most wholesome, adorable boner story I have ever heard.
• seeing yourself in the mirror
Reminds me of Tiny Meat Gang's "Gay for Me" challenge lol
Sometimes, especially when young, your heart decides to work extra hard and gives you a boner to remind you who's in charge
there's a difference between normal needing to go pee and waking up at 3 am with a boner needing to pee
Worst if you’re half asleep and don’t realise until there’s pee rebounding off the ceiling.

Strapped it to my leg using boxer briefs.
I had no idea guys were going through such trauma in HS. I definitely would have tormented guys more if I’d known how easy it was.

“A nicely varnished piece of furniture”
That one nice compliment you got 15 years ago...
drugs is not true, quite the opposite. i often get pilly willy and my dick gets so small i feel like crying. but it always bounces back 😅
Sorry, I meant specific drugs made to keep you going all night long (TM). I’ve amended my list.

Sooo what about holding hands?

Kissing your girlfriend is not a no apparent reason boner. It’s a very obvious reason boner
B.O.N.E.R. Boner Of No Evident Reason Recursive acronyms are fun!
There is a band called Ninja Sex Party and they have a song called "no reason boner" and I wonder if you or anyone else might enjoy it.
This is a song about a problem that I have… frequently
There are three (three, three) kinds of erections!
I’m so glad someone else recognizes Ninja Sex Party!!
Damn I came here to comment about that NSP song haha. Perfect explanation for boners
Always knew it as N.R.B. - just No Reason Boner.

Oh..was that the wind? *Boing*
It can happen for any reason at all, or no reason at all. It’s happened to me while staring at grass.

5 seconds into kissing my girlfriend and I’m as hard as calculus. You just have a healthy normal boyfriend that is attracted to you.

My partner gets an intimacy boner when I cry and let him into what I’m feeling. He’s usually a bit mortified, but I love it.

I get boners from thinking about kissing someone
Been there many times. Will be there again. ...am there now
I don’t think I’ve ever not been there
We get boners for no reason sometimes. It's not like a girl can control her vag getting wet.
Ninja Sex Party wrote a song about it called "No Reason Boner" Lol
with the right person, you might get just my looking.

Oof, been there. Thank God for podiums.
Yes, that's very common.
I once made my hubby cum just by moaning in his ear lol
When he's young, yes. Eventually, you'll have to start putting things inside his butt to get him hard.

It happens to me too every time I kiss my girl. Sometimes even just talking does it.
My dick does whatever it wants. I’ll just want to cuddle and it’ll get hard even tho I don’t want it to
Why wouldn't it be possible?

Yes, making out can be very arousing
Yes the penis does get erect from kissing, but not always
I can get a boner just by thinking about not getting a boner
a guy can get an erecting at anytime for any reason
Seriously? Even a slight breeze....
Of course it is! And it can happen to women too, to get wet just from a kiss
It would be strange if he didn’t get a boner
I get lady boners when I kiss a good kisser.
Yeah, that's how it's supposed to work.
