stiffys in public

LegacyUser

im 20 yrs old male. and like most males i get very horny. when i go to the gym, i tend to avoid the communal showers cos i get a stiffy. i did it twice but luckily no one was there. is there anyway to stop this cos a shower is needed after a workout. thanks

I tend to find when I get one not dwelling on it and thinking of something completely unconnected with sex does get it to go down pretty quick, can even prevent it reaching "full mast" if I change thought trail quickly enough.

Setting the shower to cold could also help, and IMO is a lot more comfortable after a good workout anyway.

They dont call it a cold shower for nothing

Why not give it a good **** before going to the gym.

You're not the first, and you won't be the last. If anything, working out will tend to get the blood flowing and make you hornier, esp. if it's a gym with some talent among its membership.

And yes, it can be embarrassing ... ignore it, think about something else, and yes, a minute or two under the cold water will usually be effective.

Most guys won't even notice, as they are unlikely enough to be looking anyway. If they do notice, their attitude will usually be "There but for the grace of God ..."! If anyone slags or comments, just say something like "Oh, Junior could do with a good workout too!" and laugh it off.

This used to happen a lot to a friend of mine, when a few of us used to work out together regularly. Ofc, good friends (ahem!) that we were, we would deliberately start conversations in the changing room / shower which would set him off, so that we could take the pish! >_>

He learned after a while to get in first with the stories / description of vid he had seen last night / whatever ... when the symptom had spread among the group, everyone was slagging everybody, and nobody felt especially embarrassed!

Maybe you could try a version of the old nurses' technique when giving a patient a sponge bath (the story is that they gave the offending member a whack of a pencil!).

If you feel an erection starting, a swift strong flick with the middle finger might make it think twice. I don't think anyone would notice you doing this, and if it works - problem solved.

If you pinch your penius between thumb (on top) and forefinger (on bottom) at the base of the shaft, your erection will slowly disappear. Also, what is in your head is important, so try and think of the most unattractive person you know, maybe a family member?

Are you a genius by any chance? Family member, wtf? I prefer Maggie Thatcher myself!
